F 0700 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observations, interview, and policy review the facility failed to complete ongoing assessments for the use of side rails. This affected one Resident (#65) of one reviewed for side rail use. The facility census was 79. Findings include: Record review revealed Resident #65 was admitted on [DATE]. Diagnoses included cerebral infarction, hemiplegia/hemiparesis, dysphagia, and depression. Review of the most recent Side Rail assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #65 used 1/2 side rails to assist with turning and repositioning, to get in and out of bed, and there was no risk to the resident if side rails were used. Review of the Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #65 had impaired cognition, required extensive assist with all activities of daily living. Multiple observations from 02/04/20 through 02/06/20 revealed Resident #65 was in bed with 1/2 length side rails up and in place. Interview on 02/04/20 at 3:29 P.M. with the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #14 stated Resident #65 had side rails and assessments were to be done quarterly. LPN #14 verified that there had been no side rail assessments completed since 09/09/18. Interview on 02/04/20 at 3:33 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified side rails assessments should have been done quarterly and that no side rail assessments had been completed since 09/09/18. Review of the policy titled Side Rails dated 09/14/18 revealed a side rail assessment would be completed by the admitting nurse upon admission and quarterly, according to the MDS schedule and as relevant during a significant change in condition.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, staff interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure that one resident's drug regimen was free of anti-psychotic medications administered in excess of the dose ordered by the physician. This involved one resident (#22) of seven residents reviewed for Unnecessary Medications. The facility census was 79. Findings include; Record review revealed the Resident #22 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted after a hospitalization on 01/10/20. Diagnoses included metabolic encephalopathy, schizophrenia, fracture of right lower leg, intracranial injury, major depressive disorder, unspecified psychosis, anxiety disorder, and congestive heart failure. Review of the assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had impaired cognition and was taking an anti-psychotic medication daily. Review of the Resident #22's current physician's order dated 01/14/20 revealed an order for 15 milligrams (mgs) of an anti-psychotic (Zyprexa) to be administrated daily at the hour of sleep. Review of a psychiatry consult for Resident #22 dated 01/14/20 revealed the resident's medications were evaluated and increased the anti-psychotic Zyprexa to 15 mgs every night at the hour of sleep. Review of medication administration record (MAR) dated January 2020 documented the resident received 15 mgs of Zyprexa daily starting on 01/14/20. However, the MAR also documented the resident was administered 7.5 mgs of Zyprexa nightly along with the 15 mgs of Zyprexa from 01/14/20 through 01/18/20. The January 2020 MAR documented the resident received 22.5 mgs of Zyprexa on 01/14/20, 01/15/20, 01/16/20, 01/17/20, and 01/18/20. Review of nursing progress notes for the time period of 01/14/20 through 01/18/20 revealed only one reference to the Resident #22's use of Zyprexa. On 01/14/20 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #45 documented the resident returned from her appointment with the psychiatrist. The psychiatrist ordered to increase the resident's dose of Zyprexa to 15 mgs by mouth at the hour of sleep. Interview with the unit manager, LPN #45 on 02/06/20 at 10:10 A.M. confirmed the resident's Zyprexa dose was increased on 01/14/20 to 15 mgs each night. She also confirmed the orders for 7.5 mgs of Zyprexa daily should have been discontinued. LPN #45 reviewed the January 2020 MAR and confirmed the nurses administering medications to the resident documented the 7.5 mg dose of Zyprexa as well as the 15 mg dose of Zyprexa was administered on 01/14/20 through 01/18/20. LPN #45 confirmed there was no documentation in the nursing progress notes or orders regarding any discontinuation of the 7.5 mg dose of Zyprexa, or any note regarding the resident receiving one and a half times the ordered dose of the Zyprexa or physician notification of the error. Review of the facility policy titled Administration of Drugs dated 08/17/18 documented as follows: should there be any doubt concerning the administering of medication(s), the physician's order must be verified before the medication is administered.
