Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, medical record review, staff interview, and facility medication administration via enteral tube policy review, the facility failed to ensure medications administered via Gastrostomy tube (G-tube) were provided in accordance with facility policy which resulted in a medication error rate of greater than five percent (5%). A total of 28 opportunities were observed with six medication errors for a medication error rate of 21.43 %. This affected one (Resident #13) of four residents reviewed for medication administration. The facility census was 47.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #13 noted the following physician orders; 05/07/19, lexapro 10 milligrams (mg) daily via G-tube, 06/21/19, norvasc 5 mg daily via-G-tube, aspirin 81 mg chewable via G-tube, eliquis 2.5 mg twice daily via G-tube, lisinopril 10 mg once daily via G-tube, and lopressor (metoprolol) 25 mg twice daily via G-tube. On 09/02/19, give 20 milliequivalents (meq) per(/) 15 milliliters (ml) liquid potassium daily via G-tube. No physician order for crushing or cocktailing medications was contained in the medical record. Observation on 09/18/19 at 9:45 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #204 prepared for the administration of Resident #13's medications via G-tube. LPN #204 obtained liquid suspension potassium 20 meq/15 ml and placed a total dose of 15 ml into a medication cup (cup #1). In a separate medication cup (cup #2), LPN #204 crushed and placed the following medications into the same cup; lopressor 25 mg one tablet, norvasc 5 mg one tablet, chewable aspirin 81 milligrams one tablet, eliquis 2.5 mg one tablet, lexapro 10 mg one tablet, lisinopril 10 mg one tablet. LPN #204 proceeded to Resident #13's room and administered the 15 ml of liquid suspension potassium through the G-tube first. LPN #204 then placed approximately 15 ml of water into cup #2 and administered the medications via the G-tube. Interview on 09/18/19 at 9:57 A.M., with LPN #204 verified Residents#13's medications via G-tube were crushed and placed together as a cocktail. The medications were then administered together. Interview on 09/18/19 at 9:58 A.M, with the Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) verified medications provided to Resident #13 should be provided individually and not placed together as a cocktail. Review of the facility general guideline for administering medications via enteral tube policy (revised November 2018) revealed crushed medications are not mixed together unless an order was obtained from the prescriber. Each medication was administered separately to avoid interaction and clumping when possible.
