him, he was the same as prior to the episode on 12/26/24. There was no change; he was completely at
baseline. CNP #600 revealed she would not have given Resident #18 the medication on the evening of
12/26/24 if he was not responding. CNP #600 revealed she was unsure why Resident #18 was not sent to

residents at the facility routinely. When she saw Resident #18 on 12/27/24, she thought the other CNP had
already ordered his drug screen. She then found out later that the other CNP did not order the labs
because she thought CNP #600 ordered them. Ultimately the drug screen was not ordered timely to
determine if Resident #18 had an overdose of medications/drugs on 12/26/24.
Phone call made on 01/22/25 at 2:31 P.M. to the Fire Department #606. Spoke with EMS Administrator
Assistant #607 who revealed she spoke with Fire Chief who will return the surveyor call today or tomorrow.
Interview and observation on 01/23/25 at 7:45 A.M. with LPN #343 revealed she was Resident #18's nurse
for approximately two years. Resident #18 never had an episode where he was unresponsive or even
lethargic. Resident #18 had a difficult time communicating, so he normally yelled or screamed when he
wanted something until he got it and then he would stop. Medications Risperidone and Ativan were
increased due to the yelling behaviors.
Observation of medication administration revealed LPN #343 crushed all Resident #18's medications
including the Divalproex DR capsules. LPN #343 opened the two Divalproex capsules, 125 mg each, and
placed the sprinkles that were inside the capsules into a small clear pouch with the remainder of the 7:00
A.M. medications and crushed all the medications together in one pouch to a fine powder using a pill
crusher. LPN #343 then placed the powder in applesauce and administered the medications to Resident
#18.
Review of the patient information leaflet for Divalproex DR capsules revealed the capsules should be
swallowed whole and should not be crushed or chewed, the capsule can be opened and sprinkled on food.
Interview and record review of Resident #18's medications on 01/23/25 at 10:00 A.M. with the facility
Pharmacist Consultant #602 revealed monthly reviews were completed on each resident reviewing all
medications. For Resident #18, there were no indications in the physician orders that the medications were
being crushed. The Divalproex DR could be opened and added to food, but the sprinkles should not be
crushed or chewed. The medication was used for schizophrenia. The idea is to extend the absorption time
to the next dose which if they were crushed or chewed, would not happen. Reviewed all other medications
with Pharmacist Consultant #602 who revealed there were no other concerns with the ordered medications.
Pharmacist Consultant #602 revealed he would not expect that reaction with Divalproex DR even if it was
crushed due to he was taking it for so long. Ativan would have an immediate action which was started three
times a day on 12/19/24. The Risperidone increase on 12/09/24 may take a few days but would not expect
the unresponsive episode one time. The Narcan was like a drug test, it would not be effective if it was not
an overdose causing Resident #18 to be unresponsive then suddenly wake up with the administration of
Narcan, he had to have something in his system for the Narcan to block that would allow him to wake up.
Pharmacist Consultant #602 revealed the facility never requested him to review the medications due to
possible overdose.
Interview on 01/23/24 at 10:31 A.M. with LPN #370 revealed she worked on 12/25/24 night shift. She
stayed over the morning of 12/26/24 until 9:00 A.M. due to a call off. LPN #370 revealed she gave Resident
#18 all his morning medications on 12/26/24 as ordered. There was nothing unusual with Resident #18. His
behavior was baseline. At 9:00 A.M. she handed the keys off to Unit Manager LPN #427 and left the facility.
Phone interview on 01/23/25 at 11:15 A.M. with LPN #499 revealed on 12/26/24 she started her shift

at 7:00 P.M. She got a report from the previous nurse and started her medication pass. LPN #499 stated,
When I got to him, (Resident #18) he was unresponsive; I gave a sternum rub, sat him up, said (Resident
#18's name) I got your meds. He said huh, so I gave them to him. There was no report of a med error, so
then I called TeleMed, got an order to send him out. Two EMT's came, the paramedic checked his vital
signs and said his eyes were pinpointed; he needed Narcan. The other nurse went to get the Narcan then
EMS administered it. (Resident #18) woke up right after and was himself; he started screaming. I told the
paramedic that it was normal for him. The paramedic said if he was normal, there was no need to go to the
ER. LPN #499 revealed she did not know who signed the form to refuse transport, no one signed anything
while she was there. Resident #18 became lethargic again but was responsive. The physician said to
monitor him.
Phone call made on 01/23/25 at 12:09 P.M. to the Fire Department #606. Spoke with EMS Administrator
Assistant #607 who revealed she spoke with Fire Chief who is waiting for a response from the attorneys
before he will return the surveyor's call.
An interview on 01/23/25 at 2:52 P.M. with the DON revealed she reviewed the incident on 12/26/24
-12/27/24 with Resident #18. She asked LPN #499 why she would give medications to a drowsy or sleepy
resident. LPN #499 revealed when she did a sternal rub, he said huh, so she felt it was okay to give him his
medications. The DON revealed she reviewed the narcotic forms throughout the whole facility, and there
were no discrepancies. The DON confirmed the facility never consulted with the pharmacy to assist in
determining the change in condition on 12/26/24 for Resident #18 that required Narcan administration. The
DON also confirmed that a drug screen was not done timely to determine the change in condition on
12/26/24 for Resident #18 that required Narcan administration.
As of 01/27/25, no call was received from Fire Department #606.
This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00161054.

Record review for Resident #18 revealed after 12/26/24 episode, Resident #18 had no further episodes of
change in mental status from the baseline.
Review of the undated written statement created by LPN #499 included LPN #499 started the shift on
12/26/24 at 7:00 P.M. During the medication pass for residents she went to Resident #18's room to give him
his medications. Resident #18 seemed like he was asleep. LPN #499 began to say Resident 18's name
multiple times and put the head of the bed up. Resident #18 opened his eyes and closed them again. LPN
#499 started to say his name again and rubbed his chest doing a sternal rub. LPN #499 sat Resident #18
up more and told him she had his medications. Resident #18 said, Huh and opened his mouth and took his
medication. LPN #499 revealed she did watch Resident #18 swallow his medication and revealed, But
(Resident #18) still did not seem right to me so I asked another nurse (LPN #336) who knew (Resident #18)
longer than me to come and look at him. She agreed with me that (Resident #18) did not seem like himself.
LPN #499 revealed after taking Resident #18's vital signs, she contacted TeleMed and was instructed to
send Resident #18 to the emergency room. EMS arrived and assessed Resident #18's pupils and said,
They are pinpointed; he needs Narcan. EMS reviewed the medications Resident #18 was given. Another
facility nurse (LPN #336) obtained the Narcan from the stock medications, and EMS administered the
Narcan to Resident #18. Resident #18 came to in five to ten seconds after receiving the Narcan and started
to be himself again. LPN #499 revealed she never told EMS not to take Resident #18 to the hospital. They
said since he was back to himself, there was no reason to take him to the hospital. LPN #499 revealed EMS
instructed staff to keep an eye out or that if it happened again, to administer Narcan because of the half-life
of Narcan. EMS left; Resident #18 was checked every 30 minutes. Around 12:00 A.M., the CNA reported
Resident #18 was not himself again. Both staff were saying his name, and he ended up waking up. TeleMed
was contacted, gave an order for the Narcan but because the resident was awake was told not to give it
and monitor resident every 15 minutes. LPN #499 revealed she charted Resident 18's medical record at
around 2:00 A.M., did not notify the family (Guardian) that late at night, so she informed them in the
morning.
Review of the Fire Department #606's Prehospital Care Report with the call dated 12/26/24 at 8:48 P.M.
completed by Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) #605 revealed the unit was on scene on 12/26/24 at
9:02 P.M. related to an emergent response. The resident's name was (Resident #18). Primary Impression:
Poisoning by drug/meds/biol substance, accidental. Narrative included the unit was dispatched for an
unknown problem. Upon arrival, Resident #18 was lying in bed with a pulse and breathing. Staff stated they
were unable to wake him. They gave him pain medication around 8:00 P.M. and when they went to check on
him, he was unresponsive. Resident #18 had pinpoint pupils. Staff grabbed Narcan and wanted to
administer. Staff administered two milligrams (mg) Narcan. Resident #18 woke up one minute later. Staff
stated he was now acting normal, they did not want him to go to the hospital, and they would monitor him.
Staff refused transport. Resident #18 was nonverbal. Review of the Refusal form included: Resident #18
refusal of service; Resident #18 advised of medical treatment and evaluation needed and further harm may
result without medical treatment. Depart 12/26/24 at 9:24 P.M.
Interview on 01/22/25 at 1:00 P.M. with CNP #600 revealed she visited Resident #18 on 12/27/24 in the
morning due to his unresponsiveness the evening prior. CNP #600 revealed on 12/27/24 when she visited
him, he was the same as prior to the episode on 12/26/24. There was no change; he was completely at
baseline. CNP #600 revealed she would not have given Resident #18 the medication on the evening of
12/26/24 if he was not responding. CNP #600 revealed she was unsure why Resident #18 was not sent to
the emergency room (ER). CNP #600 revealed she worked with an insurance group that visited the
residents at the facility routinely. When she saw Resident #18 on 12/27/24, she thought the other CNP had

Observation of medication administration on 01/22/25 at 8:42 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
#418 administering medications to Resident #82 revealed Resident #82 was sitting up in his bed and
confirmed he had completed his breakfast meal. Resident #82 revealed he had bacon, waffles, syrup, and
juice. LPN #418 assessed Resident #82's blood sugar via fingerstick glucometer. Resident #82 revealed his
concern to the nurse that he already ate all that food, that will push the blood sugar high. LPN #418
revealed it was okay, and she would check it anyway. Observation revealed Resident #82's blood sugar was
120. LPN #418 administered Lispro one unit. LPN #418 confirmed Resident #82's blood sugar should have
been assessed prior to eating his meals and revealed sometimes things happen, and she was unable to
check residents blood sugars until after the meal.
Phone interview on 01/22/25 at 4:33 P.M. with Resident #82's Primary Care Physician #609 revealed
Resident #82's blood sugar was to be assessed prior to the meals to determine the correct amount of the
sliding scale insulin to be given.
2. Record review for Resident #112 revealed an admission date of 03/20/19. Diagnoses included
dependence on respirator (ventilator) and diabetes mellitus.

Review of the patient information leaflet for Divalproex DR capsules (Depakote) revealed Divalproex DR
capsules should be swallowed whole and should not be crushed or chewed, the capsule can be opened
and sprinkled on food.
Interview and record review of Resident #18's medications on 01/23/25 at 10:00 A.M. with the facility
Pharmacist Consultant #602 revealed Resident #18 had no indications in the physician orders that the
medications were being crushed. The Divalproex DR capsules could be opened and added to food, but the
sprinkles should not be crushed or chewed. The medication was used for schizophrenia. The idea is to
extend the absorption time to be effective longer, which if they were crushed or chewed, would not happen.
Review of the facility policy titled, General dose Preparation and Medication Administration revised
01/01/13 revealed facility staff should crush oral medications only in accordance with pharmacy guidelines
as set forth in Appendix 16: common oral dosage forms that should not be crushed and/or facility policy.
Verify each time a medication is administered that it is the correct medication, at the correct dose, at the
correct route, at the correct rate, at the correct time.
The deficiency was an incidental finding identified during the complaint investigation.

directly on top of multiple lancets used to obtain blood from residents' fingers. RN #608 then removed the
glucometer from the cart and wiped the glucometer with an alcohol wipe for approximately five seconds
revealing that was how he would clean the glucometer between each use.
