services as needed.
Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to complete level two Preadmission Screening and
Resident Review ( PASRR) for Resident #42's new diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. This affected one
(Resident #42) of two residents reviewed for PASRR. The facility census was 66.
Findings include:
Review of medical record for Resident #42 revealed an admission date of 05/26/21. Diagnoses included
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), vascular dementia with other behavioral disturbance, adult
failure to thrive, solitary pulmonary (lung) nodule, cognitive communication deficit, type two diabetes without
complications, anxiety disorder, prostate cancer, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). On 06/28/22 a
new diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder was added to Resident #42's diagnoses.
Review of the 09/08/23 quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed Resident #42 was
severely impaired cognitively, exhibited no hallucinations or delusions but did exhibit physical and verbal
behaviors one to three days during the assessment reference period, required extensive assist of one
person for locomotion and personal hygiene, extensive assist of two people for bed mobility, transfer, and
toilet use, and total dependence of two people for bathing, and received an antipsychotic seven days during
the assessment reference period.
Review of the care plan initiated on 12/17/21 and revised on 09/09/22 revealed Resident #42 had noted
moods upon reviews. He had a history of alcohol abuse, PTSD, schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression.
Moods fluctuated from review to review. The goal was Resident #42 will have emotional distress, remain to
follow his daily routine through next review. Interventions included administering medications as ordered,
observe and document signs/symptoms of effectiveness and side effects, behavioral health consults as
needed, communicate with resident/resident representative regarding mood state and treatment, consult
with pastoral care, psychiatry services, and/or support groups, encourage resident to express feelings,
encourage resident to participate in activities of choice, encourage to maintain as much independence and
control/decision making as much as possible, notify medical provider of increased episodes of mood
disturbance, and provide emotional support as needed.
Review of the 06/23/21 PASSR Identification screen, under section D: indicators of serious mental illness,
revealed Resident #42 was not identified as having a diagnosis of Schizophrenia.
Review of both the electronic and hard charts revealed no evidence the appropriate state agency (The Ohio
Department of Mental Health) was notified of the new diagnosis for PASRR review as required.
Interview on 09/20/23 at 10:03 A.M. with Director of Social Services verified the appropriate agency had not
been notified of the new diagnosis as required. She stated she was just recently made aware the state
agency needed to be notified of certain new diagnoses and was unaware Resident #42 had a new
diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder on 06/28/22.
Review of facility policy PASSR, effective date of 01/01/2020, revealed PASSR consisted of two parts which
must follow the patient. Part one: Preadmission screen (PAS) for new admits which included a level one
screen and a level two evaluation if indicated. Part two included a Resident Review (RR) which would be

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review and interview, the facility failed to initiate a dressing and grooming restorative
program for one resident, Resident #48, of twenty five residents screened for activities of daily living. The
facility census was 66.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #48's medical record revealed diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder, depression,
anxiety disorder, hypertension, obesity, difficulty in walking, generalized muscle weakness and
osteoporosis.
An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #48 was moderately
cognitively impaired. Extensive assistance was required with bed mobility, dressing, and personal hygiene.
Review of an Occupational Therapy (OT) evaluation dated 07/20/23 indicated Resident #48 had been
referred to OT after a recent decline in activities of daily living and weakness. An OT Discharge summary
dated [DATE] indicated at the time of discharge from OT, Resident #48 required stand by assistance for
hygiene and grooming tasks and minimum assistance with upper body dressing. To facilitate the resident
maintaining her level of performance and in order to prevent decline, development of and instruction in a
Restorative Nursing Program (RNP) had been completed with the interdisciplinary team for dressing and
grooming.
During an interview on 09/20/23 at 2:00 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #706 stated the facility had
no consistent restorative program. LPN #706 stated Resident #48 had refused to participate in a Range of
Motion (ROM) restorative nursing program (RNP) that was recommended by Physical Therapy (PT) during
the same time frame.
During an interview on 09/21/23 at 7:33 A.M., Therapy Director #821 stated after residents were finished
with therapy a copy of the referral to restorative was placed in the restorative binder and a copy was
provided to the Director of Nursing (DON). Restorative was responsible for placing the information into the
electronic health record. On 09/21/23 at 8:11 A.M., Therapy Director #821 verified he was unable to locate
the referral for RNP for dressing and grooming as recommended in the OT discharge notes.
Review of an OT evaluation dated 09/21/23 indicated Resident #48 had been seen for therapy in the past
with good progress to the point of limited assistance being required. The evaluation indicated Resident #48
demonstrated a slight decline in activities of daily living and slight increased weakness. Resident #48 was
near functional status of her previous discharge not indicating a need for immediate therapy. The evaluation
indicated due to the documented physical impairments and associated functional deficits, Resident #48
was at risk for increased dependency on caregivers.
Review of the facility's Restorative Program policy (no implementation date recorded) revealed resident
evaluation for consideration of the restorative treatment plan would include but was not limited to cognitive
abilities to participate independently or with assistance and medical conditions to participate independently
or with assistance. The assessment/evaluation would determine the services

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observations and interviews, the facility failed to eliminate hazard risk when a cognitively and
physically impaired resident with fall risk was able to leave the secured courtyard smoking area due to an
unsecured gate. This affected one resident ( Resident #31) of eight residents reviewed for
accidents/hazards. The facility census was 66.
Findings include:
Review of medical record revealed Resident #31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnosis included
malignant neoplasm of unspecified part of bronchus or lung and brain, secondary malignant neoplasm of
unspecified lung, cachexia, unspecified protein calorie malnutrition, muscle weakness, need for assistance
for personal care, lack of coordination, adult failure to thrive, alcohol abuse. A niece was listed as resident
representative durable power of attorney for care.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #31
could make himself understood, was able to understand others, had impaired vision and severely impaired
cognition per a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of three out of 15. Resident #31 had no
symptoms of delirium, hallucination, no physical or verbal behaviors, no rejection of care and no wandering
behavior during the assessment period. He required limited assistance with bed mobility, extensive
assistance needed with transfers, one person assistance with locomotion and one-person physical
assistance with toilet use. Resident #31 used a wheelchair for mobility and was always incontinent of bowel
and urinary. There was no pain present during the assessment and resident #31 was in Hospice care.
Review of the plan of care for Resident #31 with a date initiated of 10/20/22 revealed he was at risk for falls
related to impaired balance, cognitive deficit, impaired safety awareness, malnutrition and Hospice services
for brain and lung cancer. The care plan indicated a BIMS of three (severe cognitive impairment) which
fluctuated from review to review.
Record review of a smoking assessment dated [DATE] at 7:08 P.M. completed by the Director of Nursing
(DON) revealed Resident #31 was assessed as independent for smoking.
Record Review of a Fall Risk Observation tool dated 07/24/23 at 1:56 P.M. completed by Clinical Unit
Manager #706 identified Resident #31 as a potential risk for falls related to diminished safety awareness,
wheelchair/ambulation assistance needed and non-ambulatory gait and balance.
Review of a nursing note dated 09/21/23 at 2:00 A.M. written by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #728
revealed Resident #31 was observed outside in the grass on the side of the building at 2:00 A.M. by
another resident. State Tested Nurse Aid (STNA) and nurse went outside and assessed resident #31 and
put him back in his wheelchair.
Record review of the facility investigation, dated 09/21/23, revealed Resident #31 had been found outside in
the grass at 2:00 A.M. on 09/21/23 by another resident. Resident #31 had gotten out of the back gate
because it was not locked as it should have been, and no alarm had sounded to alert staff he had gotten
out of the back gate.

notified at 1:40 A.M. by staff Resident #31 was not able to be located and there was no alarm sounding in
the facility. STNA #755 revealed Resident #31 was not in his room at 1:00 A.M. during rounds. Resident #31
was found outside in the front of the building sitting in the grass. The secured smoking area gate was open,
so no alarm had sounded. STNA #779 witness statement revealed the back gate was open, no alarm had
sounded, and Resident #31 was found outside in the front of the building in the grass. STNA #771's witness
statement revealed the alarm never sounded, and Resident #31 got out the back gate as it was open.
Review of the facility investigative elopement report #1159120 completed on 09/21/23 at 6:04 P.M. by
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #728 revealed LPN #728 was alerted by a State Tested Nurse Aid (STNA)
Resident #31 was not in his room. LPN #728 and the STNA immediately began searching the facility
interior and exterior for the resident. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes later, another resident alerted this
nurse to Resident #31's location. LPN #728 observed Resident #31 sitting upright with his back to the front
of his wheelchair, in the grass in front of building beside the window to room [ROOM NUMBER] or 108.
A Smoking assessment dated [DATE] at 10:42 A.M. completed by the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed
Resident #31 needed supervision when smoking.
A BIMS assessment dated [DATE] at 2:37 P.M. completed by Director of Social Services (DSS) #719
revealed a new BIMS score of 13.
Review of the medical record revealed on 09/21/23 at 7:00 P.M. Nurse Practitioner (NP) #810 issued an
order for a Wander Guard to right ankle.
Interview and observation on 09/21/23 at 3:50 P.M. with Resident #31 revealed he was alert and oriented to
person and place. When asked about the incident on 09/21/23 he stated, fell in grass I was cold it was dark.
He couldn't answer how he got outside or who found him. Observation of his right ankle at the time of the
interview revealed the resident was wearing a Wander Guard.
During an interview and observation on 09/21/23 at 4:14 P.M. with the DON revealed an investigation had
been initiated into how Resident # 31 got outside independently. It was believed Resident # 31 had gone
out the back gate of the secured smoking courtyard and propelled himself around the front of the facility
where he was found. Observations with the DON revealed there was a keypad on the back gate in the
courtyard. The DON pushed on the gate for 15 seconds. The gate started alarming when the gate was
pushed on. After 15 seconds, the gate released, and the alarm was no longer able to be heard. The DON
stated she would have to get the Administrator to reset the gate as the gate did not automatically secure
again once it was opened.
Interview on 09/21/23 at 4:19 P.M. with the Administrator revealed if a resident went out the courtyard gate
the alarm would continue to sound at the nursing station and front desk until the system was reset by staff.
The only way to secure the gate after it was opened was to flip a switch from inside the facility. The
Administrator stated there were a couple of residents who would open the gate by pushing on it and walk
around the facility. At that time the facility assumed that was how Resident #31 exited but the facility was
continuing to investigate.
Interview on 09/21/23 at 4:39 P.M. revealed Resident #49 verified he found Resident #31 around 2:00 A.M.
on 09/21/23. Resident #49 stated Resident #31 was laying outside in the grass area in front of

the building between the building and the parking lot. He stated Resident #31 was laying on the ground with
his wheelchair tipped over. Resident #49 stated he noticed staff looking for Resident #31 and wanted to
help staff. The last time Resident #49 saw Resident #31 the night of 09/20/23 was 11:00 P.M. in the
recreation room.
Observation on 09/21/23 at 4:41 P.M. with the Administrator verified Resident #31 had got out the back
courtyard gate in his wheelchair and traveled a path to the front of the facility where there were areas of
uneven pavement, and limited lighting in the dark. The Administrator pointed to the grassy area near the left
side of the parking lot in the row closest to the nursing facility where he believed Resident #31 was found in
the grass after falling out of his wheelchair.
Observation was conducted with the Administrator on 09/25/23 at 9:22 A.M. of the recorded video
surveillance from the night of 09/20/23. It was observed Resident # 45 pushed Resident #31 out the back
door in his wheelchair to the smoking courtyard on 09/20/23 at 11:58 P.M. Resident #31 went out of camera
range so it was not able to be determined by the video what time Resident #31 left the courtyard. It was
observed on the surveillance video staff were in the courtyard at 2:03 A.M. looking around.
Interview on 09/25/23 at 10:42 A.M. with Resident #45 stated Resident #31 was jammed in the door
leading out into the courtyard on the night of 09/20/23 so she pushed him out the door to help him.
Resident #45 verified Resident #31 did not come back into the facility with her.
Interview and with Maintenance Director (MD) #718 on 09/25/23 at 10:47 A.M. revealed the gate through
which Resident #31 left the courtyard on 09/21/23 can become ajar from a heavy wind or by a person
pushing on it for 15 seconds. He stated the alarm to this gate was not sounding the morning of 09/21/23
when he reported to work so he assumed someone silenced the alarm and left the gate open. He stated
anytime the alarm sounded staff were to address the alarm and reset it. MD #718 explained once the back
gate was open, the only way to secure/lock it up again would be for someone to walk back into the facility,
go into a maintenance room, use keys to open a box which had a reset switch and flip the switch to reset
the lock on the gate. MD #718 said the gate opened with a 15 second egress in case of a fire or there was
a code box next to the gate where a person could punch in the code and open the gate. MD #718 verified
the facility was a secured facility, so the residents did not have the codes to get out of the facility unless
assisted by staff. MD #718 expressed the gait was working as it should, however, if the gate is left open
because staff do not reset the switch, then the building is no longer secured. MD #718 added the doors to
get out into the smoking courtyard are always open, so anyone could walk out into the courtyard and leave
the courtyard if the gate was not locked.
Observation on 09/26/23 at 11:00 A.M. with MD #718 of the secured gate in the back courtyard revealed
the gate was locked and there was a keypad to the left side which could open the gate using a code or
pushing on the gate for 15 seconds. MD #718 pushed on the back gate for 15 seconds and the gate
opened with an alarming sound. MD #718 said there have been several times he has come to work within
the last three months and did rounds between 7:00 A.M. and 8:00 A.M. and found the gate open which led
him to believe it had been left open all night. MD #718 stated all nursing staff have a key to the
maintenance room to reset the back gate alarm. DM #718 stated the gate will not relock unless he comes
in and resets the back gate and stated if the back gate is not reset, the gate will stay open all night. MD
#718 took the surveyor to the maintenance room, opened a wall mounted box with a key and pointed to the
switch that needed to be physically reset to relock the gate.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on policy review, interview, review of an article from the American Journal of Health-System
Pharmacy, and observation, the facility failed to ensure staff appropriately flushed a feeding tube during
medication administration . This effected one (Resident #22) of one resident reviewed for medication
administration via feeding tube.
Findings include:
On 09/20/23 between 11:06 A.M. and 11:15 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse #732 was observed
administering medication to Resident #22 via a feeding tube. Among the medications administered were
famotidine (a gastric acid secretion reducer), allopurinol (helps prevent increase or decreases uric acid
levels), provera (hormone), sertraline (antidepressant), cimetidine (gastric acid secretion reducer) and cod
liver oil (liquid). All the pills were crushed. Approximately five milliliters (ml) of water were added to the cups
with the medications before they were emptied into the feeding tube. No flushes with water were conducted
between the medications.
On 09/20/23 at 11:29 A.M., LPN #732 verified although she flushed the feeding tube before she began and
after she finished administering medications, she did not flush the feeding tube between medications.
Review of the facility's policy, Medication Administered by Enteral Tube (implementation date not
designated) revealed mixing medications might result in a drug interaction that may include occlusion of the
tube and did not comply with medication administration practices of administering medication separately.
Administer medication one at a time and follow with a minimum of 15 ml of water between medications
unless other directed to do so which prevents clogging of the tube with drug to drug interactions.
Review of a Medscape article from the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy titled Medication
Administration through Enteral Feeding Tubes revealed when multiple medications are scheduled for
administration at the same time, each should be given separately, and the feeding tube should be irrigated
with 5-10 ml of water between each medication. When delivering any medication through an enteral access
device, the appropriate flushing technique is essential to reduce the risk of tube occlusion and to maintain
patency.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, review of controlled drug administration records, review of facility policy and
interviews, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive and individualized pain
management program, including assessment/monitoring of pain and administration of narcotic pain
medication (Percocet) to meet Resident #45's needs and prevent severe pain.
Residents Affected - Few
Actual harm occurred on 09/18/23 when as needed (PRN) Percocet 5-325 milligrams (mg) was not
available to administer to Resident #45 as requested and as ordered by the physician. On 09/18/23 at
10:21 A.M. Resident #45 rated her pain level an eight on a scale of zero (no pain) to 10 (severe pain).
Resident #45 was administered a dose of Percocet on 09/19/23 at 12:23 P.M. for severe pain rated at a
level nine out of 10 after having gone over 48 hours without receiving the Percocet as requested. The
resident verbalized she was in excruciating pain during this time-period with facial grimacing with
movement of her legs and difficulty with ambulation related to the severe pain
This affected one resident (#45) of two residents reviewed for pain management. The facility census was
66.
Findings include:
Review of medical record for Resident #45 revealed an admission date of 03/30/23. Diagnoses included
unilateral primary osteoarthritis of the right knee, pain in unspecified knee, unspecified abnormalities of gait
and mobility, uncomplicated psychoactive substance abuse, and major depressive disorder.
Review of a care plan initiated 03/31/23 revealed Resident #45 had complaints of acute/chronic pain
disease process related to substance use disorder and osteoarthritis. The goal was for Resident #45 to
verbalize relief of pain. Interventions included provide medications per orders, monitor for signs and
symptoms of side effects, and evaluate effectiveness of medication. The care plan revealed to observe for
pain every shift, administer non-pharmacological interventions, and notify medical provider, resident
representative if interventions were unsuccessful, or if current complaint was a significant change from
resident's experience of pain. There were no new interventions added after the initial care plan date of
03/31/23.
Review of Resident #45's physician's orders revealed an order dated 04/04/23 for one 600 milligram (mg)
Ibuprofen Oral Tablet (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) by mouth every six hours as needed for pain
and an order dated 05/07/23 for one 500 mg Acetaminophen Extra Strength (non-narcotic pain reliever)
tablet by mouth every six hours as needed for mild pain.
Review of the facility Pain Observation Tool V5-V2, dated 06/29/23 revealed Resident #45 did not verbalize
and/or exhibit non-verbal symptoms of pain, did not receive scheduled or as needed pain medication, and
the resident stated deep relaxation and frequent position changes would help relieve pain. Pain
management intervention was not necessary and there was no need for a change in interventions in the
care plan. There was no additional Pain Observation Tool V5-V2 completed after 06/29/23.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #45
was cognitively intact with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of 15 and required

Review of an 08/11/23 physician progress note, authored by Physician #850, revealed Resident #45 was
complaining of continued pain in the knees, was having difficulty walking, and was not getting any pain
medications. The physical exam revealed pain in the right knee with movement and positive crepitus (a
cracking or popping sound) of the knee. The plan was to consult orthopedics to evaluate for knee
replacement and to start Percocet for pain.
Record review revealed a physician order, dated 08/11/23 for Percocet (Oxycodone with Acetaminophen)
5-325 mg one tablet by mouth every eight hours as needed for pain.
Review of a 09/12/23 physician progress note, authored by Physician #850, revealed Resident #45 was
complaining of continued pain in the knees but was improving with pain meds. The resident was having
difficulty walking and there was pain in the right knee with movement.
Review of the nursing progress notes between 09/13/23 and 09/27/23 revealed the notes did not contain
any assessment of Resident #45's pain, request for pain medication and use of non-pharmacological
interventions for pain management during this time period.
Review of the controlled drug administration record for Resident #45 revealed a script for 26 tablets of
Percocet was filled on 08/31/23, the last tablet was signed out on 09/17/23 at 9:00 A.M, and a new script for
30 tablets Percocet written and filled on 09/19/23.
Review of the pain level vital section documentation of the medical record for 09/17/23 revealed no pain
assessments were completed on 09/17/23.
There was no documentation by nursing to reflect why the Percocet ran out on 09/17/23, whether or not the
as-needed Acetaminophen was offered while waiting for the Percocet to be re-filled until 09/19/23 nor any
documentation to reflect if the nurses attempted to get a Percocet from the facility starter box (which was a
secured medication containment system at the facility where various medications including narcotics
supplied from the pharmacy could be pulled until the medications arrived from the pharmacy).
Review of the September 2023 MAR revealed pain levels were to be assessed every shift. On 09/17/23
Resident #45's pain level was not documented on the MAR nor was any Percocet, Ibuprofen or
Acetaminophen documented as being administered to Resident #45. The next pain level was assessed on
09/18/23 at 10:21 A.M. and was assessed to be rated a level eight. On 09/18/23 at 5:02 P.M. the resident
continued to rate pain at a level eight. On 09/19/23 at 10:43 A.M. the resident's pain was assessed to be a
nine (out of 10 as the most severe pain).
Further review of September 2023 Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #45 confirmed
she also did not receive any Percocet on 09/18/23 but did receive on 09/18/23 Ibuprofen at 10:21 A.M. for
pain at a level rated an eight out of 10 and again received Ibuprofen at 5:02 P.M. with pain rated a level
eight. On 09/19/23 she received Ibuprofen at 10:43 A.M with a pain level rated nine and finally received the
Percocet on 09/19/23 at 12:23 P.M. for pain level of seven. There was no documentation she received any
Acetaminophen on 09/17/23, 09/18/23, 09/19/23, or 09/20/23.

Percocet for Resident #45 had run out on 09/17/23 and the facility was waiting for the script to be signed to
re-order it. LPN #722 said some Percocet could be pulled from the starter box, but she did not do that
because she had to wait for a prescription to pull a Percocet from the starter box. LPN #722 verified
Resident #45 had a pain level rated a nine during this time period.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 09/19/23 at 8:52 A.M. with Resident #45 revealed she was in excruciating pain and rated her
pain at a level a seven out of 10. She stated the facility had run out of her Percocet, which was why she
hadn't received any of her Percocet medication. Observation at the time of interview revealed Resident #45
was laying down in her bed and when she moved her legs to the side of the bed to sit up, she grimaced in
pain as she moved her legs.
Interview on 09/19/23 at 11:59 A.M. with Resident #45 revealed she was currently rating her pain level a
seven and it was difficult to walk because the pain was excruciating. Observation at the time of the
interview revealed Resident #45 was walking slowly while holding onto the handrails on the wall as she
walked. Resident #45 had facial grimacing with the movement of her legs.
Interview on 09/20/23 at 7:54 A.M. with Resident #45 revealed she had received Percocet last night and
stated the plan was to get knee replacements in December2023 because her knee problems were causing
the pain. Observation at the time of the interview revealed she was not physically exhibiting any signs or
symptoms of being in pain and said her pain had been relieved with the administration of Percocet.
Interview on 09/21/23 at 1:55 P.M. with LPN #732 revealed it took some time to get pain medications
re-ordered at the facility and the normal process was to ask for a re-order before the medication ran out.
Interview on 09/21/23 at 2:03 P.M. with Resident #45 revealed on 09/17/23 and 09/18/23, she had difficulty
walking and sleeping due to increased pain when her Percocet medication was not given to her. The
resident stated when she turned in bed on those days, she would get a jolt of pain and would see stars
from the severity of the pain. The resident reported when she received the Percocet on 09/19/23, she was
able to get a better night's sleep and the pain level became more tolerable. She stated she did take the
Ibuprofen when there was no Percocet, but the pain remained rated between a seven and nine. Resident
#45 was visibly upset about having to wait for the Percocet order to be refilled and stated with tears I feel
like I don't matter. I am a person and I do matter.
Interview on 09/21/23 at 2:26 P.M. with Nurse Practitioner #810 revealed the normal process to ensure
residents had their Percocet would be when the prescribed medication was getting low, the facility would
reach out to the provider to see if the prescription could be refilled. The time it took for the provider to
re-order varied and depended on various factors. She stated she was not sure what happened and why
there was a delay in the prescription getting re-filled for Resident #45.
Interview on 09/21/23 at 2:31 P.M. with Pharmacy Representative #851 revealed the new script for Percocet
was written, filled, and delivered on 09/19/23.

Interview on 09/25/23 at 2:29 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the normal procedure to
ensure Resident #45 had her Percocet would be to ask for a re-order when there were seven pills left. The
floor nurse was responsible for re-ordering the medication. The DON said she had not been made aware
the Percocet medication for Resident #45 had run out before it could be refilled, and she was not aware
Resident #45 had been in pain as a result. The DON had no explanation of why the medication had not
been ordered earlier to prevent the facility from running out of medication.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation , record review, review of medication information, policy review and interview the
facility failed to store medication appropriately. Improper storage was identified on two (Unit II medication
cart and Unit I medication room) of three storage units observed. This affected four residents, Resident #12,
#24, #57, and #261 of 66 residents residing in the facility.
Findings include:
1. On 09/20/23 between 11:30 A.M. and 11:38 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #732 was observed
monitoring Resident #24's blood glucose level and administering insulin. While preparing to administer
Resident #24's Humalog via an opened insulin pen, it was noted there was no date indicating when the
insulin pen was opened. The label indicated the Humalog pen was delivered 08/22/23. This was verified by
LPN #732 at the time of observation.
Review of the Medscape website revealed opened Humalog pens could be stored at room temperature up
to 28 days.
2. Observations of the 100 hall (Unit I) medication room with LPN #725 on 09/26/23 at 10:38 A.M. revealed
there were two refrigerators for storage of medications. One of the refrigerators did not contain a
thermometer to monitor the temperature under which the medications were stored and there was no
evidence of a temperature log. Medications stored in the refrigerator included intravenous Daptomycin
(antibiotic) for Resident #261 and Arformoterol tartrate inhalation solution (bronchodilator) for Resident #12.
The lack of a thermometer, lack of evidence of temperature monitoring and presence of the medications
was verified by LPN #725 at the time of the observation.
Review of Resident #261's Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed the Daptomycin order was
valid through 09/10/23.
Review of the Medscape website revealed Arformoterol tartrate solution should be stored in the refrigerator
away from light.
3. Observations of the Section II medication cart with LPN #726 on 09/26/23 at 10:40 A.M., revealed a vial
of Insulin Glargine for Resident #24 which did not contain information on the date it was opened. There was
also a bottle of Cromolyn eye drops for Resident #57 with a label indicating it was delivered 08/22/23 with
instructions to use for seven days. At the time of the observation, LPN #726 verified Resident #24's opened
Insulin Glargine was not dated and that the eye drops for Resident #57 should have been discarded after
the order was completed.
Review of manufacturer information for Insulin Glargine revealed bottles in use or stored at room
temperature should be discarded after 28 days.
Review of Resident #57's MAR revealed the last dose of Cromolyn eye drops was administered on
08/30/23 during the 6:00 A.M. medication pass.
Review of the facility's Storage of Medications policy, revised August 2020, revealed refrigerated medication
was to be stored at temperatures between 36 degrees and 46 degrees Fahrenheit with a

area to record temperatures at least once a day or in accordance with facility policy. The policy revealed
when the original seal of a manufacturer's container or vial was initially broken, the container or vial would
be dated. The nurse should place a date opened sticker on the medication and record the date opened and
the new expiration date. The expiration date of the vial or container would be 30 days from opening unless
the manufacturer recommended another date or regulations/guidelines required different dating. If a vial or
container was found without a stated date opened, the date opened would automatically default to the date
dispensed and the expiration date would be calculated accordingly, unless otherwise indicated in a
facility-specific policy. The nurse would check the expiration date of each medication before administering it.
No expired medication would be administered to a resident. All expired medications would be removed from
the active supply and destroyed in accordance with facility policy, regardless of the amount remaining. The
policy did not address removal of drugs from circulation once the order was completed.

catheter was attached to tubing from the suction machine. The suction catheter was removed from the
package with the clean gloves instead of using sterile gloves. The section of the catheter being inserted into
the trach was handled with the clean glove. The suction catheter was removed with the end wiped with a
tissue then reinserted into the trach. When preparing to change the trach inner cannula shiley, a new set of
clean gloves was applied. The inner cannula was handled with the use of the clean gloves.
