Based on medical record review, pharmacy recommendation review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure pharmacy recommendations were addressed in a timely manner. This affected two (#73 and #117) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. The facility census was 133. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #73 revealed an admission date of 09/14/23. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, diabetes mellitus, and generalized anxiety disorder. Review of the pharmacy recommendation dated 04/29/24 revealed Resident #73 was receiving Lantus insulin five units twice daily with blood sugar fluctuating from normal to elevated. Further review revealed the pharmacist recommended a hemoglobin A1C laboratory value be obtained and consider increasing Lantus if appropriate. The physician marked the box on the document that indicated agreement with the recommendation, signed the document, and dated it 05/13/24. Review of Resident #73's medical record revealed no hemoglobin A1c laboratory results were obtained at the time of the review on 09/18/24. Interview on 09/18/24 at 1:12 P.M. and on 09/19/24 at 7:30 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) stated Resident #73 did not always allow laboratory draws, so the facility usually tried to do any additional laboratory draws with other routine laboratory draws. The DON verified he was unable to find the laboratory result or documentation that the physician wanted the hemoglobin A1c to be drawn with the next routine laboratory draw which was today at the time she addressed the recommendation. 2.

Diagnoses included major depressive disorder, peripheral vascular disease, and personal history of nicotine dependence. Review of the pharmacy recommendation dated 05/30/24 revealed Resident #117 had an order for a nicotine patch without titration with a recommendation to add a stop date to nicotine 21 milligrams (mg) per day for six weeks total, followed by 14 mg per day for two weeks, then finish with seven (7) mg per day for two weeks. Further review revealed the physician agreed with the recommendation, documented V.O. (verbal order), and signed and dated the form 09/17/24. Review of Resident #117's physician's order for September 2024 revealed active orders dated 09/17/24 for a nicotine transdermal patch 21 mg per 24 hours for seven days with a start date of 09/18/24 and an end date of 09/25/24; a nicotine transdermal patch 14 mg per 24 hours for seven days with a (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
