F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. 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, observation, staff interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure medications were administered without error. There were 38 opportunities for error with three observed errors for a calculated error rate of 7.89 percent. This affected one resident (#17) of three residents observed for medication administration. The facility census was 75. Residents Affected - Few Findings included: Review of the medical record for Resident #17 revealed an admission date of 10/18/18. Diagnoses included glaucoma, macular degeneration and type two diabetes mellitus. Review of the admission assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #17 required assistance with medication administration. Review of the physician orders for May 2022 revealed Resident #17 was ordered Artificial Tears instill two drops to both eyes two times daily, Timolol Maleate (a medication to decrease pressure inside the eye) 0.5% instill one drop to both eyes two times daily, Brimonidine (a glaucoma medication) 0.2% instill one drop to both eyes two times daily and Latanprost (a medication to treat pressure inside the eye) 0.005% instill one drop to each eye at bedtime. Review of the plan of care revealed the resident was at risk for impaired vision related to glaucoma and macular degeneration. Interventions included administering medications as ordered. During an observation on 05/04/22 at 7:50 A.M. of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #309 administering medications to Resident #17. Resident #17 was ordered Artificial Tears instill two drops to both eyes, Timolol Maleate 0.5% instill one drop to both eyes, Brimonidine 0.2% instill one drop to both eyes. LPN #309 administered one drop of the Artificial tears, Timolol Maleate and Latanaprost 0.005% to each eye consecutively without allowing the ordered time between each drop.

During an interview on 05/04/22 at 7:58 A.M., with LPN #309 verified the eye drops were given consecutively with no time between each drop. LPN #309 also confirmed she administered the wrong eye drops as the Latanaprost was to be given at bedtime and the Brimonidine was to be administered two times daily, morning and evening. LPN #309 said she was going to notify the physician. During an interview on 05/04/22 at 9:44 A.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified administering eye drops consecutively without a wait time was not a standard of practice or policy. Review of the facility policy titled Medication Administration: eye drops and ointment dated 06/21 revealed the procedure was to verify the physicians orders and to wait three to five minutes between each different eye medication administration if more than one medication ordered.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and policy review the facility failed to ensure the glucometer was cleaned effectively between use.

LPN #309 said she always cleaned the glucometer with an alcohol wipe and was not aware of the facility policy on cleaning/sanitizing glucometers. LPN #309 proceeded to the supervisor for instruction. During an interview on 05/04/22 at 9:44 A.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed cleaning the glucometer with an alcohol wipe was not standard practice or proper infection control. The DON stated the glucometer should be cleaned with a bleach wipe or a germicidal wipe, with a dwell time of five minutes, wipe off excess liquid with clean paper towel, then place the glucometer back in the drawer of the medication cart. Review of the facility policy titled Glucose Blood Monitoring dated 02/11 revealed the blood glucose meter should be cleaned with an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved hypochlorite solution (1:10 bleach) wipe or approved germicidal disinfectant per the manufacturer instructions.
