F 0757 Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, staff interview and Medscape medication review, the facility failed to ensure a medication used to elevate blood pressure was necessary for a resident. This affected one resident (Resident #83) of six reviewed for unnecessary medications. The facility census was 86. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #83's medical record revealed an admission date of 03/29/19 with diagnoses including acute respiratory failure and essential hypertension. Review of the minimum data set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed resident required total assist for all activities of daily living, with one person assist. A brief interview mental status (BIMS) was unable to be completed. Review of the resident's plan of care dated 04/19/19 revealed interventions related to monitoring for side effects of anti-hypertensive and hypotensive medications. Review of Resident #83's physician's order dated 03/29/19 revealed an order for Midodrine five milligrams (mg.), give one tablet via gastric (G)-tube every six hours as needed for low blood pressure. The physician order did not identify any parameters for the administration of the medication. Review of Resident #83's medical record revealed no evidence of blood pressure documentation on 03/30/19, 03/31/19, 04/01/19, 04/02/19, 04/03/19, 04/08/19, 04/13/19, 04/14/19, 04/15/19, 04/16/19, 04/17/19, 04/18/19 and 04/23/19 to determine whether the medication, Midodrine was needed. Interview on 04/23/19 at 4:50 P.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Midodrine was administered on 04/07/19 (blood pressure 80/50), 04/09/19 (blood pressure 83/51) and 04/11/19 (blood pressure 80/55) for low blood pressures. The DON confirmed the physician order for Midodrine was to be given for low blood pressure. The DON stated her expectation for residents receiving Midodrine was that blood pressures should be obtained on each shift.

Interview on 04/24/19 at 9:25 A.M. with Medical Doctor #200, the resident's physician, revealed his expectation was blood pressures should be obtained every shift or at minimum, daily when a resident is on Midodrine. Review of the pharmacy resource, Medscape, revealed a black box warning for Midodrine. Midodrine may cause elevation of supine blood pressure. Reserve use for patients whose lives are considerably impaired despite standard clinical care for orthostatic hypotension.
