F 0760 Resident #01. Level of Harm - Actual harm Review of the nursing progress note dated 09/11/23 at 4:20 P.M. revealed Resident #01 was with her daughter in her room and the daughter stated she was shaking a little like she does and then all of a sudden her head went back and started shaking harder and foaming at the mouth. Daughter yelled for help and aide found writer. Resident #01 was in a safe position and was watched until it was over. Emergency 9-1-1 service was called and Resident #01 was transported to the hospital. Residents Affected - Few Review of a hospital neurology progress note, dated 09/12/23, revealed Resident #01 presented to the Emergency Department (ED) for complaints of seizure of two minutes, witnessed by family who described resident's eyes rolling back, followed by jerking, non-responsive, foaming at the mouth, while seated. Resident #01 had some facial twitching, jerking hand movements, stuttering, small seizure examined by bedside nurse that lasted five to ten seconds, and a incontinent episode. Resident #01 was brought to the hospital because of an apparent witnessed seizure. The description was of generalized convulsive activity lasting several minutes and she was confused afterwards. She had a normal Computed Tomography Scan (CT) of the brain. Per the history, she had been on Klonopin and was apparently off of this for three days. The impression was Resident #01 had a new onset seizure and given the available history, this was likely benzodiazepine (Klonopin is in this medication class) withdrawal. Anticonvulsant therapy was deferred and recommended the resident follow-up in the physician's office post-discharge. Review of a Pharmacy Delivery Manifest (PDM) revealed on 08/07/23, there were 60 - 0.5 mg clonazepam (Klonopin) tablets delivered to the facility for Resident #01. On 09/12/23, the next order of clonazepam was delivered to the facility for Resident #01. Interview on 10/11/23 at 8:15 A.M. with Resident #01 revealed she had a seizure and was in the hospital. Resident #01 stated Evidently for three days I could not get my pills and I had a seizure. That was kind of scary. Resident #01 stated she had no recollection of the seizure and had no prior history of seizures. Resident #01 confirmed she was currently receiving her medications as ordered and had no further concerns. Interview on 10/11/12 at 8:47 A.M. with Resident #01's family member revealed the facility did not have the resident's Klonopin for three days. The family member was visiting when Resident #01 had a seizure at the facility and was taken to the ED. The family member stated Resident #01 had no prior history of seizures and the hospital said the seizure was due to Klonopin withdrawal. Interview on 10/11/23 at 10:47 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the facility did not have Klonopin available for administration to Resident #01 from the evening dose on 09/08/23 through the morning dose on 09/11/23, for a total of six missed doses. Additionally, Resident #01 had a seizure the afternoon of 09/11/23 and was transferred to the hospital. The DON stated she investigated the incident and learned the resident's Klonopin was not delivered by the pharmacy as a new controlled substance form was needed by the pharmacy. Nursing staff had e-mailed the document to the physician on Friday, 09/08/23, but failed to follow-up with the physician to ensure he received, signed, and returned the document. Over the weekend, including 09/09/23 and 09/10/23, none of the nursing staff who worked with Resident #01 contacted the physician or the pharmacy regarding the medication. The DON confirmed Klonopin was in the facility's contingency medication box (c-box), however, since it was a controlled substance, nursing would have needed to call the pharmacy to be given an authorization code in order to pull the medication. The DON verified nursing staff did not contact the pharmacy to get authorization to pull the medication for administration to the resident.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few 09/11/23, the physician was contacted and the controlled substance form was signed and returned to the pharmacy in order for the medication to be delivered to the facility. The DON verified Resident #01 had seizure-like activity that afternoon, was sent to the ED, and the treating neurologist at the hospital believed the seizure was likely the result of benzodiazepine withdrawal. The DON stated every licensed nurse who worked with Resident #01 from 09/08/23 through 09/11/23 was disciplined and all licensed nursing staff were re-educated on the process for ordering medications, follow-up with the physician and pharmacy, and accurate and complete documentation related to medication administration. Telephone interview on 10/11/23 at 12:39 P.M. with Quality Assurance Pharmacist (QAP) #200 confirmed the pharmacy had filled Resident #01's Klonopin order on 08/07/23 and stated it made sense the facility did not have any medication to administer to the resident from 09/08/23 through 09/11/23. QAP #200 stated the pharmacy did not have a valid controlled substance form for Resident #01 and a new one was needed before any additional medication could be delivered. QAP #200 verified the facility was responsible for obtaining the controlled substance form. QAP #200 verified the facility had Klonopin in their c-box and, had the facility contacted the pharmacy indicating a need for the medication, the pharmacy would have paged the physician to obtain a verbal order and provided an authorization code for the facility to pull the medication for Resident #01. QAP #200 confirmed there was no record anyone from the facility had contacted the pharmacy regarding Resident #01's Klonopin from 09/08/23 through 09/11/23. Interview on 10/11/23 at 1:50 P.M. with the Administrator verified Resident #01 did not have Klonopin available for administration from 09/08/23 through 09/11/23. The Administrator stated when administration learned of the medication error on 09/11/23, a plan of correction was developed and implemented to prevent any further significant medication errors. Review of the facility policy titled Administering Medications, revised April 2019, revealed medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders. The deficient practice was corrected on 09/30/23 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: • On 09/11/23, the DON followed-up with the physician and received the controlled substance form in order to obtain Resident #01's medication. • On 09/11/23, Resident #01 was transferred to the ED for assessment following a seizure. Resident #01 was restarted on her medication. • On 09/12/23, the DON completed an audit of all residents on benzodiazepine medications and found no other concerns related to medications being available or administered per physician orders. • (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 366312 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 4 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 366312 B.

F 0760 On 09/12/23, the pharmacy delivered Resident #01's medication to the facility. Level of Harm - Actual harm • Residents Affected - Few From 09/13/23 through 09/21/23, the DON met with each of the four licensed nursing staff (Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) #100, #105, #110, and #115) who were responsible for medication administration during the time Resident #01 did not receive her medication and provided re-education and disciplinary action related to the medication not being available, administered, and lack of follow-up with the physician and/or pharmacy. • From 09/13/23 through 09/30/23, the DON re-educated all licensed nursing staff on re-ordering medications, medication administration, follow-up with the physician and/or pharmacy, and complete and accurate documentation. • On 09/13/23, the Administrator provided education to the Medical Director on the process of ordering medications, signing controlled substance forms timely, and being in compliance with timely ordering of medications. • On 09/13/23, Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #150 audited all residents to ensure all ordered medications were available for administration, were administered as ordered, and accurately documented in the medical record.
