Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
open and closed medical record reviews, interviews with staff, review of side effects for Paxlovid (an
antiviral medication), review of interaction warning for Paxlovid medication, review of fact sheet on Paxlovid,
review of hospital records, and facility policy review, the facility failed to adequately monitor residents for
signs and symptoms of bleeding while taking an anticoagulant medication. This resulted in Immediate
Jeopardy and serious life-threatening harm on [DATE] when Resident #56 was prescribed Paxlovid (an
antiviral medication) twice daily for five days to treat COVID-19 infection while also taking Rivaroxaban
(generic brand for Xarelto), an anticoagulant medication. The facility failed to monitor Resident #56 for signs
of bleeding and the resident subsequently exhibited signs of internal bleeding on [DATE] without facility
intervention including notification of the medical practitioner. The Immediate Jeopardy continued [DATE]
when Resident #56 again had signs of internal bleeding and was noted to have a moderate amount of
blood in her stool and complained of abdominal pain. Resident #56 became lethargic, pale, and difficult to
arouse, was sent to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment where she passed away from a brain
bleed and a gastrointestinal (GI) bleed.
Residents Affected - Few
In addition, concerns that did not rise to the level of Immediate Jeopardy were identified when six additional
residents (Resident #9, #15, #30, #42, #48, and #109) reviewed for anticoagulant medication administration
were identified without a care plan and/or adequate monitoring for signs and symptoms of side effects
(including bleeding) from the anticoagulant medications. This affected seven residents (Resident #9, #15,
#30, #42, #48, #56, and #109) of eight residents reviewed for anticoagulant medications. The facility census
was 59.
On [DATE] at 3:41 P.M. the Director of Nursing (DON) and Unit Manager (UM) #101 were notified
Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] when Resident #56 was prescribed Paxlovid (a medication to treat
COVID-19) while concurrently being administered the anticoagulant medication, Xarelto without any
increased monitoring for any signs and symptoms of bleeding or bruising despite the warning that the two
medications could have a severe interaction causing increased bleeding. On [DATE], Resident #56 was
noted to have reddish colored urine but staff failed to notify Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #192 of the
change in condition and failed to complete any additional monitoring for signs and symptoms of bleeding or
bruising. On [DATE] at 2:19 P.M., Resident #56 was noted to have a moderate amount of blood in her stool
and complained of abdominal pain. On [DATE] at 3:24 P.M., Resident #56 was lethargic, pale, and difficult
to arouse. The resident was sent to the emergency room. On [DATE] at 9:43 P.M., the facility was notified by
Resident #56's family the resident had passed away as a result of a brain bleed and a gastrointestinal (GI)
bleed.
The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] when the facility implemented the following corrective
actions:
•
On [DATE] by 3:00 P.M. care plans for each resident who was receiving anticoagulant therapy were
reviewed and updated to address anticoagulant therapy by Minimum Data Set (MDS) Nurse #128 with
documentation on the care plan. This includes all potentially affected residents, Resident #8, #15, #258,
#109, #30, #3, #50, #42, #37, #12, #9, #29, #6, #48, #44, #5, #41, #13, and #20.

and reddish colored urine would be a potential sign of bleeding. The DON stated she would have expected
the CNP to be notified by the staff, additional monitoring for any other possible signs or side effects, a urine
sample to be obtained and sent out for testing, and possibly additional lab work to be ordered.
Interview on [DATE] at 3:57 P.M. with CNP #192 revealed she had not been notified that Resident #56 had
reddish colored urine on [DATE]. CNP #192 stated she was not aware of any signs or symptoms of
bleeding prior to [DATE]. CNP #192 confirmed Resident #56 was on Xarelto, an anticoagulant. CNP #192
stated staff noted resident concerns in a binder that she reviewed when she was on-site at the facility. CNP
#192 confirmed the binder did not note any reddish colored urine for Resident #56. CNP #192 stated had
she been notified of the change, she would have requested a more detailed description of the urine,
ordered labs, and would have wanted the staff to continue monitoring for any signs or symptoms of
bleeding (including blood in urine, blood in stool, or any increased bruising).
Interview on [DATE] at 4:36 P.M. with CNP #192 revealed drug interactions between medications occur
constantly and she would only consider stopping an anticoagulant if the interaction was a severe
interaction. CNP #192 stated she assessed the benefits versus the risks of continued administration of
Paxlovid and Xarelto together and felt the benefits outweighed the risks at that time to treat COVID-19
infection. CNP #192 confirmed she was aware of the possible severe interaction between the two
medications and confirmed administering Paxlovid with Xarelto may increase bleeding. CNP #192
confirmed she should have been notified of Resident #56's reddish colored urine on [DATE] and would
have expected staff to be monitoring Resident #56 of any signs or symptoms of bleeding while on the
anticoagulant medication.
Interview via telephone on [DATE] at 9:53 A. M. with Pharmacist #190 revealed she was a new consulting
pharmacist who conducted monthly medication reviews at the facility since [DATE]. Pharmacist #190 stated
a national software was used to identify drug interactions. If a severe interaction was identified, Pharmacist
#190 notified the physician/DON/nurse manager directly due to the need for immediate attention as well as
write a pharmacy recommendation. The pharmacist revealed it was the prescriber of the medication who
made the final decision whether to continue administering the medications. Pharmacist #190 stated
Paxlovid was a new medication and interacted with several medications. Pharmacist #190 confirmed
Paxlovid administered with Xarelto could increase bleeding.
Interview via telephone on [DATE] at 11:06 A.M. with Pharmacist #195 revealed he was a pharmacist with
Complete Pharmacy Solutions, the pharmacy used to fill the facility's medication prescriptions. Pharmacist
#195 stated medication orders were received via fax, electronically, or verbally but the

bulk of the facility's orders were received by fax. Pharmacist #195 confirmed he checked for medication
interactions with new prescriptions to ensure it was clinically safe to administer the medications prior to
filling the prescription. If a severe interaction was identified, Pharmacist #195 stated he contacted the floor
nurse who cared for the resident of the possible interaction. Pharmacist #195 confirmed there was risk for
increased bleeding when Paxlovid and Xarelto were administered together. Pharmacist #195 stated a risk
assessment would be completed with the floor nurse to review the benefits versus the risks of continuing
administration of the medications together. Pharmacist #195 confirmed Paxlovid and Xarelto administered
together would be a more major drug interaction with an increased risk of increased bleeding. Pharmacist
#195 stated the resident should be monitored for signs and symptoms of increased bleeding. Pharmacist
#195 confirmed Paxlovid was dispensed to the facility on [DATE] and confirmed Resident #56 was also on
Xarelto for a long time. Pharmacist #195 stated the order was called in to the pharmacy by Nurse #207 and
the same nurse would have been notified of the possible severe drug interaction.
Interview via telephone on [DATE] at 4:50 P.M. with Physician #200 revealed he was aware Resident #56
was taking Paxlovid and Xarelto together to treat COVID-19 infection. Physician #200 revealed he felt the
benefits outweighed the risks of administering the medications together at the time. However, Physician
#200 confirmed the facility staff absolutely should have notified himself and/or the CNP of any signs or
symptoms of bleeding for Resident #56. Physician #200 confirmed he was not notified of Resident #56's
reddish colored urine on [DATE]. Physician #200 stated had he been notified of the reddish colored urine on
[DATE], increased monitoring would have been initiated in an attempt to identify the cause of the reddish
colored urine.
Review of Paxlovid: What Prescribers and Pharmacists Need to Know, dated [DATE], revealed, there is
uncertainty about effect magnitude in target populations and high certainty for harm with Paxlovid if drug
interactions are not mitigated. Additionally, the fact sheet showed the recommendation if a resident was on
Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) was do not coadminister, hold and restart two days after completing Paxlovid, and
significant questions in drug concentrations expected. Do not coadminister due to risk of serious toxicity. If
possible, use alternative COVID-19 agent. If not possible, then: low risk of clot: hold rivaroxaban. 24 hours
after the last dose of rivaroxaban, start Paxlovid AND aspirin 81 mg daily. Finish Aspirin one day after
completing Paxlovid. Restart Rivaroxaban two days after completing Paxlovid. High Risk of clot: hold
rivaroxaban. 24 hours after the last dose of rivaroxaban, start Paxlovid AND therapeutic dosing of a
subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Finish LMWH one day after completing Paxlovid.
Restart Rivaroxaban two days after completing Paxlovid.
Review of Paxlovid Side Effects Center, dated [DATE], revealed Paxlovid had an established significant
drug interaction with Rivaroxaban. Clinical comments included, Increased bleeding risk with Rivaroxaban.
Avoid concomitant use.
Review of the facility policy titled, Anticoagulation-Clinical Protocol, revised 11/2018, revealed the policy
stated, as part of the initial assessment, the physician and staff will identify individuals who are currently
anticoagulated. Assess for any signs or symptoms related to adverse drug reactions due to the medication
alone or in combination with other medications. Assess for evidence of effects related to the subtherapeutic
or greater than therapeutic drug level related to that particular drug (for example, a resident with an above
therapeutic level of an anticoagulation medications should be assessed for bleeding.) The physician will
prescribe anticoagulation therapy appropriately, consistent with recognized guidelines. The physician will
collaborate with the consultant pharmacist and nursing staff to identify potentially serious medication
interactions with anticoagulants. The

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed no psychosis or behavioral
symptoms noted during the look back period and Resident #258 was receiving an antipsychotic and
antidepressant. There has been no gradual dose reduction and no physician documentation of a gradual
dose reduction would be contraindicated.
Residents Affected - Some
The 12/21/22 Pharmacy recommendation for Resident #258 stated:
The resident is receiving the antipsychotic quetiapine (Seroquel) 100 mg daily for a diagnosis of
depressions. This diagnosis may not support the use of an antipsychotic.
There needs to be evidence in the chart that one of the following conditions exists:
The symptoms are identified as being due to mania or psychosis (i.e., auditory/visual/other hallucinations or
delusions)
The behavioral symptoms present a danger to the resident or others and non-med interventions have
failed.
Consider a dose decrease when appropriate.
Review of the medical record revealed on 01/02/23 the document was signed, stated the physician
disagreed with the dose reduction, the documentation only stated Resident #258 has agitation and anxiety
with mood swings.
The 01/17/23 Pharmacy recommendation for Resident #258 revealed:
The resident is receiving the antipsychotic quetiapine (Seroquel) 100 mg daily for a diagnosis of
