F 0760
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
hospital physician recommended a blood transfusion to treat the anemia related to the low hemoglobin
level, but the resident refused for religious reasons. The resident returned to the facility on [DATE] and was
admitted to hospice for end stage endometrial cancer, and the Afinitor was discontinued in the hospital.
Review of the readmission physician's orders for Resident #10 revealed an order dated 02/16/24 for
resident to receive hospice services for endometrial cancer.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #10 dated 02/20/24 revealed the resident
was cognitively intact and required one to two person assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs.)
Interview on 03/20/24 at 12:04 P. M. with the Director of Nursing confirmed Resident #10's physician gave
an order on 02/01/24 to withhold Afinitor until further notice. The DON confirmed Resident #10's
hemoglobin level on 02/01/24 was 6.5 which was considered low. The physician also gave an order to
recheck the resident's hemoglobin level on 02/05/24 and call the results to the physician, because the
medication Afinitor could contribute to anemia (low hemoglobin levels in the blood.) The DON confirmed the
facility rechecked Resident #10's hemoglobin level on 02/05/24 and it was 6.4. Further interview confirmed
the order to withhold Resident #10's Afinitor was not properly implemented, and the resident received the
medication on the following dates even though the physician had not given an order to restart the
medication: 02/07/24, 02/08/24, 02/09/24, 02/10/24, 02/11/24, 02/12/24, 02/13/24. The DON confirmed
Resident #10's hemoglobin level on 02/13/24 was 5.6, and the physician gave an order to send the resident
to the hospital for an evaluation. The DON confirmed Resident #10 was admitted to the hospital with acute
on chronic anemia. The DON confirmed Resident #10 refused a blood transfusion to treat the low anemia
level due to religious reasons and the resident returned to the facility on [DATE] on hospice care for
endometrial cancer and Afinitor was discontinued.
Interview on 03/21/24 at 8:45 A. M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #105 confirmed she transcribed
the verbal order dated 02/01/24 to hold Resident #10's Afinitor into the electronic medical record but the
medication should have been discontinued until the physician had given an order to resume it. LPN #105
confirmed Resident #10 received the medication in error on the following dates: 02/07/24, 02/08/24,
02/09/24, 02/10/24, 02/11/24, 02/12/24, 02/13/24.
Interview on 03/21/24 at 10:49 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #115, who worked at the physician's office,
confirmed the physician gave an order on 02/01/24 to withhold Resident #10's Afinitor until further notice.
RN #115 confirmed the physician had not given an order to resume the Afinitor.
Review of the facility policy titled Medication Orders August 2017 revealed medications must be
administered in accordance with physician's orders.
Review of online resource Medscape on 03/21/24 at
https://reference.medscape.com/drug/afinitor-zortress-everolimus-999101#4 revealed anemia was a
potential adverse effect of Afinitor and the CBC should be monitored in conjunction with administration.
This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00151631.
