Review of facility Authorization for Release of Health Information form revealed Resident #65 signed the front page of the form on 09/20/24 to release specific medical records. Then, there was a second page of the form that stated he wanted the records released to himself. He signed that page of the document on 09/25/24. There was no evidence the facility started the process of collecting medical records to give to the resident or provide the option for the resident to review his documents online, when the initial request was made on 09/20/24. Review of facility Invoice for Resident Records, dated 09/27/24, revealed an invoice was given to Resident #65 on 09/27/24 for $321.00, based on the rate set forth for copies of medical records. Interview with Administrator on 12/05/24 at 1:50 P.M. confirmed the opportunity of allowing Resident #65 or his representatives to see his medical records was never discussed as an option. Also, he confirmed the initial request for the medical records was made on 09/20/24, but the invoice for the medical records was not given to Resident #65 until 09/27/24, which was seven days after the initial request. Review of facility Release of Medical Records policy, dated 06/01/24, revealed upon request to access or obtain copies of the medical record, the facility should review the authorization to ascertain access rights of that person.

This affected one (Resident #9) of six residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. The facility census was 88. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #9 revealed an admission date of 2/15/23 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic systolic heart failure, morbid obesity with alveolar hypoventilation, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dependence on respirator/ventilator status, obstructive sleep apnea, essential hypertension, chronic venous insufficiency, unspecified depression, anxiety disorder, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, anemia, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, generalized muscle weakness, and stenosis of a coronary artery stent. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of 15 indicating no cognitive impairment. Resident #9 had impaired mobility and required moderate assistance with showers but was independent with all other activities of daily living. Review of the care plan for Resident #9 revealed a focus on managing chronic conditions, including respiratory support, pain management, and addressing anxiety. Review of the physician orders for Resident #9 revealed orders for Entresto were initiated on 10/08/24 with a dosage of 24-26 milligrams (mg) twice daily for hypertension. The orders specified that Entresto should be held if the resident's systolic blood pressure (SBP) was below 110 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or if the heart rate (HR) was below 60 beats per minute (bpm). Review of the Medication Administration Records (MAR) confirmed that Entresto was administered outside the prescribed parameters on multiple occasions: 11/12/24: 106/81 (12:44 A.M.) and 129/81 (10:00 A.M.), both outside the specified SBP parameter. On 11/10/24: 109/73 (8:34 A.M.) and 8:35 A.M. On 10/31/24: 106/79 at 9:30 A.M. On 10/28/24: 109/70 at 8:37 P.M. On 10/15/24: 109/77 at 9:31 A.M. and 9:32 A.M. These values indicate that Entresto was administered even when the resident's blood pressure was below the ordered threshold of 110 mmHg. Interview on 12/04/24 at 2:33 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON), revealed that the facility's practice was to administer Entresto if the readings were only one digit outside of the parameters, stating it was a known rule for nursing discretion. The DON confirmed that the Entresto was administered outside the prescribed parameters and acknowledged the need to verify the facility's practices with the physician. The DON could find no documented evidence related to the nursing discretion rule. The DON could also find no evidence of the staff notifying the physician prior to administering the medication while outside of the ordered parameters. Additionally, the rule regarding nursing discretion was confirmed in a written statement from the physician on 12/05/24, but this was the first documented evidence of such a rule. No prior written documentation or confirmation of the nurse discretion practice could be found in the resident's medical record or facility policies.

Review of the infection control log revealed Resident #43 was admitted from the hospital on [DATE] with a urinary tract infection (UTI). There was no organism listed. The urinalysis with sensitivity was listed as unable to obtain (uto). Resident #43 did not meet McGreer's criteria for an infection. Resident #43 received Amoxicillin from 11/12/24 to 11/17/24 (five days). Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated November 2024 revealed Resident #43 had a physician order for Amoxicillin-Potassium Clavulanate (an antibiotic) 875-125 milligrams (mg) with instructions to take one tablet two times daily for a UTI for five days. The order was dated 11/12/24. Resident #43 received one dose on 11/12/24, two doses on 11/13/24, 11/14/24, 11/15/24, and 11/26/24, and one dose on 11/17/24. The resident received a total of ten doses of the antibiotic. Review of the progress notes revealed there was no evidence Resident #43 was evaluated by a physician or Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) after returning from the hospital to ensure the antibiotic order was appropriate. There was no evidence of Resident #43's lab results in the resident's medical record to verify the resident had a UTI. Interview on 12/05/24 at 2:01 P.M. with Regional Nurse (RGN) #250 confirmed Resident #43 returned from the hospital with an ordered antibiotic for a UTI. The facility was not able to obtain labs from the hospital to verify an organism or the positive UTI results. RGN #250 confirmed Resident #43 did not meet McGreer's criteria for a UTI and the resident was not seen by a physician or CNP to verify the appropriateness of the antibiotic order. Review of the facility policy, Antibiotic Stewardship, undated, revealed the policy stated, Providers will utilize the McGreer's Criteria when considering initiation of antibiotics. When infection is suspected review with physician the criteria that was met for use of antibiotic. At 72 hours after antibiotic initiation or first dose in the facility, each resident will be reassessed for consideration of antibiotic need, duration, selection, and de-escalation potential. Completion of an antibiotic time-out must be recorded in the resident record. Based on record review,staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to follow their antibiotic stewardship processes for Residents #81 and #43. This affected two (Resident's #81 and #43) out of three residents reviewed for antibiotic use. The facility census was 88. Findings include: 1.

F 0881 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few diagnoses including acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, type II diabetes, obesity, dependence on respirator, lack of coordination, obstructive sleep apnea, bladder-neck obstruction, obstructive and reflux uropathy, difficulty walking, edema, combined systolic heart failure, spinal stenosis, and several other chronic conditions. Review of the most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 14 out of 15 (Additionally, a BIMS assessment on 12/02/24 with a score of 15), indicating no cognitive impairment. Resident #9 was dependent on a wheelchair and required assistance with toileting, bathing, and personal hygiene. The resident had an indwelling catheter and was frequently incontinent with bowel movements. Review of the progress notes for Resident #81 revealed on 10/26/24 at 6:31 P.M. lab results indicated a urinary tract infection (UTI), and Bactrim was prescribed on 10/27/24. Review of the physician orders for Resident #81 revealed an order for Bactrim Tablet 800-160 milligram's (MG) (Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim) give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for UTI for seven days with a start date of 10/27/24 and an end date of 11/03/2024. Review of the Medication Administration Records (MAR) confirmed Bactrim was prescribed from 10/27/24 to 11/03/24. Review of the urine analysis labs revealed the organism present was proteus mirabilis with a growth of >100,000 Colony-Forming Units per Milliliter (CFU/mL). Under the antibiotic sensitivity section it indicated bacterial resistance to Bactrim (denoted as R [>2/38], confirming resistance per minimum inhibitory concentration standards). Interview on 12/05/24 at 2:45 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that Bactrim was prescribed despite the culture showing resistance. The DON stated that they had no justification for the antibiotic order and confirmed that there was no documentation explaining the reason for the choice of Bactrim. Review of the Antibiotic Stewardship Policy revealed that Antibiotics must be selected based on culture and susceptibility data whenever available to ensure effectiveness against the identified pathogen. Clinical staff must document the rationale for the selection of an antibiotic, particularly when culture data indicates resistance to the prescribed medication. Timely review of laboratory results, including culture and sensitivity reports, is required to guide adjustments in treatment. Inappropriate antibiotic use, such as prescribing resistant antibiotics, must be avoided to minimize the risk of treatment failure and antimicrobial resistance.
