Based on medical record review and interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #152 was not administered expired medication (budesonide) and the medication was available for administration. This affected one of three residents (Resident #152) reviewed for medication administration. The facility census was 171.
Findings Included: Review of the medical record for Resident #152 revealed an admission date of 09/06/22. Diagnoses included but were not limited to eosinophilic esophagitis (an allergic inflammatory condition of the esophagus), diabetes mellitus, and dependence on renal dialysis. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 01/10/24, revealed Resident #152 had intact cognition. Review of the physician orders for February 2024 revealed orders for budesonide liquid 10 milliliters (ml) by mouth (corticosteroid, gastrointestinal) one hour before meals for eosinophilic esophagitis. Started on 02/11/24 and discontinued on 03/29/24. Review of the February and March 2024 medication administration record (MAR) revealed the budesonide liquid was not administered on March 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 14 and 19. The budesonide was discontinued on 02/11/24 and restarted on 02/25/24 after Resident #152 returned from the hospital. The budesonide liquid expiration date was 02/21/24 and medication was given until 03/01/24 and then the medication was not available until 03/05/24. Interview on 04/02/24 at 10:09 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the bottle of budesonide liquid medication had an expiration date of 02/21/24 and this was not identified until 03/01/24. The unit manager (Licensed Practical Nurse #369) came to her on 03/01/24 and stated Resident #152's budesonide was expired, the family was notified and the doctor was contacted. The nurses were educated on checking medications to ensure that expired medications were not being given to residents. The DON confirmed Resident #152 received expired budesonide medication for six days. The DON stated after it was realized the medication was expired it took a few days to get more of the medication due to the medication was a specialty medication and only a specialty pharmacy could make the budesonide liquid. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00152308.

Based on medical record review and interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #152 received an anticoagulant medication to prevent the formation of blood clots as ordered. This affected one of three residents (Resident #152) reviewed for medication administration. The facility census was 171.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Included: Review of the medical record for Resident #152 revealed an admission date of 09/06/22. Diagnoses included but were not limited to diabetes mellitus, dependence on renal dialysis, pulmonary hypertension, absence of right leg below the knee, and calciphylaxis (calcium accumulates in small blood vessels of the fat and skin tissues. Calciphylaxis causes blood clots, painful skin ulcers and may cause serious infections that can lead to death.) Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 01/10/24, revealed Resident #152 had intact cognition. Review of the physician orders for February 2024 revealed orders for apixaban (anticoagulant) 2.5 milligrams (mg) tablet by mouth two times a day for atrial fibrillation. Review of the February and March 2024 medication administration record (MAR) revealed apixaban 2.5 mg tablet was started on 02/11/24. The morning doses of apixaban were not administered on February 12, 14,16,19,20,21,23, and 28 and on March 1, 6, and 14 (11 doses). Interview on 04/03/24 at 10:13 A.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #152 was receiving dialysis three times a week in the mornings. The DON verified on dialysis days the nurses were not giving Resident #152 her apixaban. The DON verified apixaban was not being given as ordered. Review of Medscape website revealed if a dose of apixaban was not taken at the scheduled time, the dose should be taken as soon as possible on the same day and twice daily administration should be resumed. Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant, including apixaban, increased the risk of thrombotic events. Because of the high plasma protein binding apixaban was not expected to be dialyzable. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00152308.
