catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, resident and staff interviews, review of hospital medical records and policy review,
the facility failed to monitor the urinary status of Resident #84 following the removal of an indwelling urinary
catheter resulting in urine retention and hospitalization for treatment. This resulted in Actual Harm on
05/10/24 when Resident #84, who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with an indwelling urinary catheter
due to urine retention and failing a voiding trial, was not adequately monitored following the removal of the
catheter. On 05/10/24 at 1:12 A.M. the resident complained of lower abdominal pain and distention of the
lower abdomen. The resident was catheterized (urinary tube inserted through the urethra and into the
bladder) to relieve the lower abdominal pain and distention, removing 1,300 milliliters (ml) of blood-tinged
urine with sediment from the resident's bladder. The resident was subsequently transferred to the
emergency room after she began to experience altered mental status, rapid pulse, rapid respirations and
low blood pressure. The resident was admitted to the hospital with pyelonephritis (kidney infection) and
bacteremia (bacteria in the blood). A Computed Tomography (CT) scan confirmed cystitis (an infection of
the urinary bladder) with left ureteritis (inflammation of the thin tube that connects the kidney to the bladder)
and pyelitis (bacterial infection of the renal pelvis). This affected one (#84) of three residents reviewed for
urinary indwelling catheter use. The facility census was 103.
Findings Include:
Review of Resident #84's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/01/24 with diagnoses including
fractures of the right humerus (upper arm bone) and right pelvis, urinary retention, type two diabetes, and
lupus.
Review of Resident #84's admission assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #84 was admitted to the
facility with an indwelling urinary catheter size 16 French for the diagnosis of urinary retention.
Review of Resident #84's hospital discharge clinical summary dated 05/01/24 at 12:46 P.M. revealed
Resident #84 had a diagnosis of urine retention with an indwelling urinary catheter placed on 04/18/24. The
hospital attempted to remove the indwelling urinary catheter. However, the resident had a failed voiding trial
(a medical procedure that assesses a resident's ability to urinate without a catheter. It involves removing a
urethral catheter from the bladder and asking the resident to urinate in a container to measure the amount
of urine emptied from the bladder). A bladder scan (uses ultrasound to measure the amount of urine left in
a resident's bladder especially after urination) may also be performed to monitor the resident's progress.
The hospital reinserted the indwelling urinary catheter on 04/25/24 with recommendation for the facility to
attempt another voiding trial.

Review of Resident #84's admission progress note dated 05/01/24 at 6:37 P.M. revealed the Foley catheter
was in place on admission for urine retention and a history of Resident #84 failing a voiding trial while in the
hospital.
Review of Resident #84's progress note dated 05/03/24 at 12:03 P.M. and authored by the nurse
practitioner, revealed Resident #84 had an indwelling urinary catheter for urinary retention and was
requesting to have the catheter removed and a voiding trial to be started. The progress notes reflected
removal of the catheter and voiding trial to be initiated on 05/07/24.
Review of Resident #84's physician orders for May 2024 (after the urinary catheter was removed) revealed
a voiding trial every six hours for urinary retention, bladder scan and straight catheter if greater than 350
milliliters (ml) of urine (identified with the bladder scan).
Review of Resident #84's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated 05/06/24 to 05/10/24 revealed on
05/06/24 Resident #84's indwelling urinary catheter was removed, with a voiding trial to assess if Resident
#84 was able to void on her own without the assistance of a urinary catheter. The order included a bladder
scan to be completed with the amount of urine identified in the bladder to be documented on the TAR. The
voiding trial was to be documented three times per day (every eight hours) and was initiated on 05/06/24 at
6:00 P.M. Further review of the TAR revealed the nurses were writing their initials for the completion of the
assessment every eight hours but there was no documentation regarding the amount of urine that was
found to be in the bladder, by obtaining a bladder scan, at the time of the completed assessment.
Review of Resident #84's bladder tracking documentation, dated 05/06/24, revealed Resident #84's
indwelling catheter was removed, and a voiding trial was initiated. Resident #84's bladder tracking was
documented as the resident being dry (no urination) three times on 05/07/24 from 6:36 P.M. to 10:28 P.M.
and incontinent of urine one time at 11:00 P.M. On 05/08/24 from 12:00 A.M. to 4:00 A.M., the resident's
bladder tracking was marked as voided (urinated) without the amount of urine documented, from 5:00 A.M.
to 12:32 P.M. Resident #84 was documented as incontinent of urine eight times on 05/08/24 and at 2:58
P.M., Resident #84 voided one time with no amount of urine documented. There were no further entries for
Resident #84's bladder tracking dated 05/08/24. On 05/09/24 at 2:31 A.M., Resident #84's bladder tracking
was marked as not applicable, the next bladder tracking entry was at 5:34 P.M to 6:00 P.M. and 10:19 P.M.
marked as being incontinent. On 05/10/24, Resident #84's bladder tracking was marked as not applicable
with the first entry being at 2:59 P.M.
Review of Resident #84's care plan, dated 05/08/24, revealed Resident #84 had an alteration in elimination,
with an indwelling urinary catheter in place, related to urine retention. Resident #84's interventions included
assisting (the resident) with toileting when requested and provide care as needed.
Review of Resident #84's progress note, dated 05/10/24 at 1:07 A.M., revealed the resident complained of
abdominal pain. The abdomen was firm and distended. A bladder scan and (bladder) catheterization were
completed per order. Thirteen hundred milliliters of urine was drained from the bladder. The urine was
bloody with mucus/sediment. A new order for a urinalysis with culture and sensitivity was received. The
resident's husband was present and aware of the new order.
Review of the Nurse Practitioner progress note, dated 05/10/24 at 9:08 A.M., revealed the resident was
lying in bed without distress, but has tachycardia (rapid heart rate), hypotension (low blood pressure),
lethargy, tachypnea (rapid respirations), catheter tubing with thick, milky, red mucus and

thin, red fluid with thick white tissue in the (bedside catheter drainage) bag. The resident wakes to touch
and name, intermittently. The resident's spouse was at bedside and the resident and spouse were educated
on the provider's plan to begin antibiotics as well as intravenous (IV) hydration. Understanding and
agreement were stated by the resident and spouse. Three nurses attempted to insert an IV but were
unsuccessful. The resident stated IVs are always difficult (to insert). The nurse administered an
intramuscular dose of antibiotic (Rocephin). The resident's bladder is rigid, the catheter was flushed without
full volume return. The catheter was removed to be changed due to sterile compromise. Resident remains
tachypneic, hypotensive (no blood pressure readings provided), tachycardic, lethargic and febrile, over
103.0 degrees Fahrenheit, despite axilla ice packs. After approximately two hours, it is necessary to send
the resident to the emergency room.
Review of Resident #84's re-admission paperwork from the hospital, dated 05/21/24 at 1:17 P.M., revealed
to follow up with urology in one week for voiding trial and a diagnosis of sepsis with suspected urology
source from a recent urinary tract infection, having completed a course of antibiotic therapy of Zosyn during
the hospital stay from 05/10/24 to 05/21/24.
Interview on 05/23/24 at 10:42 A.M. with Resident #84 revealed the staff had removed the catheter and
then didn't consistently check her output, like they should have. Resident #84 further explained she had
been voiding small amounts of urine and then developed lower abdominal pain and distention along with
elevated temperature on 05/10/24. Resident #84's spouse was visiting Resident #84 at this time and
requested the nurse to assess Resident #84. The nurse assessed the resident, completed a bladder scan
and inserted a catheter due to 1,300 ml of urine being drained from the resident's bladder.
Interview on 05/23/24 at 2:00 P.M. with Unit Manager (UM) #282 revealed Resident #84 had been admitted
to the facility with an indwelling urinary catheter with the catheter being removed on 05/06/24 and a voiding
trial initiated with the order to scan the bladder for residual urine and if the amount was greater than 350
milliliters (ml) with the bladder scan, then a bladder catheterization had to be conducted. UM #282 stated
she was working as the floor nurse, when on 05/10/24 at 1:03 A.M. she performed a bladder scan and
urinary catheterization due to Resident #84's complaint of lower abdominal pain and distention. UM #282
verified there was a total of 1,300 ml of white colored urine removed from Resident #84.
Interview on 05/28/24 at 3:03 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the voiding trial for
Resident #84, dated 05/06/24 to 05/10/24 on the May TAR, revealed the results (of the bladder scan) were
not documented despite the order. The DON stated the expectations for the facility nurses were to use the
facility's bladder scanners and record the results on the TAR, to accurately monitor for potential urinary
retention and address as ordered.
Interview on 05/29/24 at 9:50 A.M. with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #326 revealed Resident #84
did have an indwelling urinary catheter which was removed, and a voiding trial was started. STNA #326
stated Resident #84 would request assistance to the bathroom or would be incontinent of urine with her
adult brief being damp or slightly wet. STNA #326 also stated Resident #84 would be dry multiple times
during the shift and stated Resident #84 was able to make her needs known but required assistance with
transfers and toilet use.
Review of the facility's policy titled, Catheter Insertion and Removal (Female) including Bladder Instillation
dated 06/08/22 revealed, the purpose for catheter included, to relieve bladder distention, to obtain a

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, interview, and pharmacy contract review the facility failed to ensure a
comprehensive medical record review was completed to identify irregularities with prescribed medications
during the monthly pharmacy medication regimen review (MRR). This affected one resident (Resident
#105) of five residents reviewed for anticoagulant medication use. The facility census was 103.
Findings Include:
Review of medical record for Resident #105 revealed an initial admission to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including a history of stroke, atrial fibrillation (Afib), type two diabetes mellitus, and breast
cancer. Further review revealed Resident #105 was dependent on staff for activities of daily living (ADL)
tasks and transfers, was non-ambulatory using a wheelchair for mobility and was verbally able to make
needs known to staff.
Review of Resident #105's care plan, dated 04/13/23, revealed the use of anticoagulant therapy to treat
atrial fibrillation with a goal of no adverse effects and interventions included to administer per physician
orders and obtain vital signs as necessary.
Review of the physician orders revealed an order for Eliquis, initiated on 04/14/23, 2.5 milligrams (mg) twice
a day for atrial fibrillation. Review of the Medication Administration Record revealed this medication
continued through 02/13/24 when the resident was transferred to the hospital.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for February 2024 revealed Resident #105 was
administered the anticoagulant medication, Eliquis 2.5 mg two times daily from 02/01/24 through the
morning dose on 02/12/24.
Further review of the closed medical record revealed Resident #105 was hospitalized from [DATE].
Review of the hospital discharge summary and hospital discharge orders dated 02/15/24 revealed an order
to increase the anticoagulant medication dose of Eliquis to 5 mg two times daily for atrial fibrillation.
Review of Resident #105's medication orders for March 2024, April 2024, and May 2024 revealed no
Eliquis orders were initiated or administered for either 2.5 mg or 5.0 mg dosages.
Review of the Pharmacy Medication Regimen Review dated 03/09/24 revealed Consulting Pharmacist (CP)
#409 reviewed Resident #105's medication orders since readmission to the facility from 02/15/24 to
03/09/24. There were no recommendations or clarifications requested for the physician to address or
recommendations for the facility nursing department to address. There was no indication CP #409 identified
Resident #105 was not receiving either the previous dose or the newly ordered dose of Eliquis, even
though Resident #105 had the diagnosis of arterial fibrillation and had been previously ordered the
medication.
Review of the Pharmacy Medication Regimen Review dated 04/16/24 revealed CP #409 had two
recommendations. The first was for a gradual dose reduction for Resident #105's prescription for Ambien
(medication to treat insomnia). The recommendation was declined by Medical Director (MD) #404. The

for a laboratory test for lipids and for liver function tests, this was approved by MD #404. There was no
indication CP #409 identified Resident #105 was not receiving either the previous dose or the newly
ordered dose of Eliquis, even though Resident #105 had the diagnosis of arterial fibrillation and had been
previously ordered the medication.
Interview on 05/29/24 at 3:14 P.M. with CP #409 revealed completion of the monthly pharmacy medication
regimen review involved the review of the documents the facility had uploaded or documented in the
electronic medical record (EMR). CP #409 stated diagnoses and medications are reviewed, if there was a
diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, then the review would involve a more in-depth look at the ordered medications
for appropriateness and accuracy. CP #409 confirmed Resident #105 did have a diagnosis of atrial
fibrillation. The pharmacy review did not have documentation to support further review of the resident's
cardiac history and no anticoagulant use.
Interview on 05/29/24 at 3:55 P.M. with Clinical Services Manager (CSM) #408 confirmed the facility missed
the order on readmission of Resident #105 on 02/15/24 and the facility's check and balance systems and
consultants did not identify the lack of the Eliquis order for Resident #105, even though she had been
receiving the medication prior to the hospitalization on 02/13/24 and the medication was ordered, but with
an increased dose, upon her return to the facility on [DATE].
Review of the consulting pharmacist contract dated 01/20/23 revealed, Review each Resident's clinical
record monthly and evaluate for appropriateness of the therapy according to current medical practice
standards.

Review of the pharmacy dispensing report for February 2024 revealed Eliquis 5 mg was not delivered by
the facility pharmacy during the time span from [DATE] through [DATE].
Review of Resident #105's quarterly MDS Assessment, dated [DATE] revealed Section C - Cognitive
Patterns marked as Resident #105 was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15, Section I - Active
Diagnoses marked with an active diagnosis of longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation, and Section N Medications was not marked for use of an anticoagulant medication.
Review of Resident #105's MAR dated [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE] revealed there were no orders for
Eliquis at either the previous dosage of 2.5 mg or the new ordered dose of 5 mg.
Review of the Pharmacy Medication Regimen Review dated [DATE] revealed CP #409 reviewed Resident
#105's medication orders since readmission to the facility on [DATE] to [DATE]. There were no
recommendations or clarifications requested for the physician to address or recommendations for the
facility nursing department to address. There was no indication CP #409 identified Resident #105 was not
receiving either the previous dose or the newly ordered dose of Eliquis, even though Resident #105 had the
diagnosis of arterial fibrillation and had been previously ordered the medication.
Review of the Pharmacy Medication Regimen Review dated [DATE] revealed CP #409 had two
recommendations. First, for a gradual dose reduction for Resident #105's prescription for Ambien
(medication to treat insomnia). The recommendation was declined by Medical Director (MD) #404. Second,
for a laboratory test for lipids and for liver function tests, which was approved by MD #404. There was no
indication CP #409 identified Resident #105 was not receiving either the previous dose or the newly
ordered dose of Eliquis, even though Resident #105 had the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation or had been
previously ordered the medication.
Review of the Resident #105's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Section C - Cognitive
Patterns marked as Resident #105 was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15, Section I - Active
Diagnoses marked with an active diagnosis of longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation, and Section N Medications was not marked for use of an anticoagulant medication.

Resident #105's daughter was visiting, and Resident #105 was having difficulty responding to conversation
during the daughter's visit. At the time of the transfer (to the hospital) Resident #105's blood pressure was
148/106 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), blood oxygen saturation level was 91 percent (%) with two liters of
oxygen in place, and heart rate was 73 beats per minute.
Review of the Stroke Network Virtual Neurology Assessment note dated [DATE] at 9:19 P.M. authored by
Neurology Physician #512 (part of the resident's hospital record beginning on [DATE]) revealed Resident
#105 with history of left frontal lobe ischemic infarction (stroke) with hemorrhage in 2018 resulting in
aphasia (inability to speak) which has resolved, and diagnosis of arterial fibrillation prescribed Eliquis but
unclear if Resident #105 is receiving the medication or not. Per the nursing facility, Resident #105 was
taken off the Eliquis for reason as being unsafe for Resident #105 to be on the Eliquis. There was no
additional information about what unsafe meant.
Review of the Neurocritical Care History and Physical progress note dated [DATE] at 5:12 A.M. authored by
hospital Neuro-physician #510 revealed Resident #105 arrived at the emergency department on [DATE]

occlusion in the left and proximal left branches of the internal carotid artery. Resident #105 was not a
candidate for thrombolytic (clot buster) interventions due to unclear if Resident #105 was receiving Eliquis
prior to emergency department transfer. Further review of the hospital record revealed the resident was
taken to the cardiovascular laboratory (lab) for a thrombectomy (removal of the clots), but the catheters
were unable to be advanced for removal and the procedure was aborted.
Review of the hospital progress note dated [DATE] at 10:16 A.M., authored by Hospital Physician #410,
revealed Resident #105 experienced an acute ischemic stroke with Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
results which showed large left hemispheric region of the brain with ischemia (an area of the body that is
not receiving blood and oxygen due to an occlusion) and associated swelling. Resident #105 also had
acute metabolic encephalopathy (a change in the brain which affects how thinking and reasoning occurs
and can be caused by a stroke), and acute hypoxic respiratory failure likely related to the ischemic stroke.
Resident #105 was placed on palliative and comfort care due to her critical condition and worsening mental
status. Resident #105 ultimately expired on [DATE].
Interview on [DATE] at 10:20 A.M. with Family Member #500 revealed Resident #105 had been ordered
Eliquis for the treatment of atrial fibrillation since Resident #105's previous stroke which occurred in 2018.
Family Member #500 was unsure why Resident #105 had not been placed back on the Eliquis when she
was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Family Member #500 verified, prior to the stroke team attempting
thrombolytic interventions, the emergency room physician questioned if Resident #105 was receiving
Eliquis at the facility, but the family member was unsure as to why the resident was not receiving the
Eliquis.
Interview on [DATE] at 2:15 P.M. with Pharmacy Clinical Director #406 revealed there was no readmission
order received from the facility for Resident #105's anticoagulant medication Eliquis when the dose was
increased. Pharmacy Clinical Director #406 stated the last fill and dispense for Resident #105's
anticoagulant medication, Eliquis 2.5 mg, was on [DATE]. There was no further filled or dispensed
anticoagulant medications for Resident #105 from [DATE] to when Resident #105 was admitted to the
hospital on [DATE].
Interview on [DATE] at 3:03 P.M. with the DON revealed the expectation for the nurses was to review and
clarify medication orders with the physician upon admission or readmission to the facility. Once the orders
had been reviewed and approved, the nurses were to transcribe the orders into Point Click Care (the
computerized medical record). The DON confirmed there was not an anticoagulant medication order for
Resident #105 since readmission to the facility on [DATE] despite the hospital order upon the resident's
discharge from the hospital. The DON confirmed Resident #105 had been receiving Eliquis at 2.5 mg since
the initial admission on [DATE] and there was no clarification or reasoning for the discontinuation of the
Eliquis of the previous dose or on the new dose ordered upon readmission on [DATE].
Interview on [DATE] at 2:25 P.M. with Medical Director (MD) #404 revealed, on admission or re-admission
of residents, MD #404 would review the admitting orders from the hospital, which was the source for
approving, clarifying, or discontinuing medication orders. The physician shared the only reason he could
think of the resident's Eliquis was being held or not administered would be for a breast biopsy due to her
recent diagnosis of breast cancer but, even then the Eliquis would have been resumed and not held for
three months. Resident #105 should have been on the Eliquis just due to history of an ischemic stroke and
having atrial fibrillation. MD #404 shared there was a 20% chance of developing an embolus (clot) once the
medication has been discontinued.

Interview on [DATE] at 3:14 P.M. with CP #409 revealed completion of the monthly pharmacy medication
regimen review involved the review of what the facility had uploaded or documented in the computerized
medical record. CP #409 stated diagnoses and medications were reviewed and if there was a diagnosis of
atrial fibrillation then the review would involve a more in-depth look at the ordered medications for
appropriateness and accuracy. CP #409 confirmed Resident #105 did have a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation,
but the pharmacy review did not have documentation to support further review of the resident's cardiac
history and no anticoagulant use.
Interview on [DATE] at 3:35 P.M. with LPN #256, the admitting nurse for Resident #105 on [DATE], revealed
LPN #256 did not recall the details of Resident #105's readmission to the facility on [DATE].
Interview on [DATE] at 3:55 P.M. with CSM #408 revealed the facility missed the order on readmission for
Resident #105 on [DATE] and the facility's check and balance systems and consultants did not identify the
lack of the Eliquis order for Resident #105, even though she had been receiving the medication prior to the
hospitalization on [DATE]. CSM #408 verified the resident returned to the hospital on [DATE] due to
experiencing a stroke and expired in the hospital on [DATE].
Review of the consulting pharmacist contract dated [DATE] revealed, review each resident's clinical record
monthly and evaluate for appropriateness of the therapy according to current medical practice standards.
Review of the American Heart Association website, www.heart.org, defined atrial fibrillation as a quivering
or irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib or AF, can lead to blood clots,
stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a
regular beat. In AFib, the upper chambers of the heart, or the atria, beat irregularly. Because not enough
blood is being pumped out of the atria, blood pools in the area. The pooled blood can clot - which can be
extremely dangerous. If a blood clot forms, it can be pumped out of the heart to the brain. This blocks the
blood supply to the brain and causes a stroke. About 15% to 20% of people who have strokes have this
heart arrhythmia. The clot risk is why patients with this condition are prescribed blood thinners. Some
medications are commonly called blood thinners because they can help reduce a blood clot from forming.
There are two main types of blood thinners that patients commonly take: anticoagulants such as warfarin,
dabigatran (Eliquis) and rivaroxaban (Xarelto), and antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin or clopidogrel. Each
type of medication has a specific function to prevent a blood clot from forming or causing a blocked blood
vessel, heart attack or stroke. Untreated AFib doubles the risk of heart-related deaths and is associated
with a fivefold increased risk for stroke. Yet many people are unaware that AFib is a serious condition.
Review of the Eliquis Customer Website, www.eliquis.bmscustomerconnect.com, revealed Eliquis use can
reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in people who have atrial fibrillation (AFib), a type of irregular
heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. For patients taking ELIQUIS for atrial fibrillation: stopping
ELIQUIS increases your risk of having a stroke. Do not stop taking ELIQUIS without talking to the doctor
who prescribed it to you.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, record review, and interview the facility failed to ensure medications were handled
and distributed in a sanitary manner. This affected two residents (#12, #25 and #34) out of four residents
observed during medication administration. The facility census was 103.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
1. An observation on 06/03/24 from 8:45 A.M. to 9:03 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #264
performing medication administration for Residents #12, and #25. LPN #264 prepared Resident #12's
morning medication at the medication cart, knocked and entered Resident #12's room and administered
the medication. Upon completion of Resident #12's medication administration, LPN #264 exited the room
without washing or sanitizing his hands. Once LPN #264 returned to the medication cart and began
preparing Resident #25's medication without sanitizing his hands. LPN #264 completed preparation of
Resident #264's medication, LPN #264 knocked and entered Resident #25's room and administered the
medication. LPN #264 then exited Resident #25's room without washing or sanitizing his hands.
An interview on 06/03/24 at 9:03 A.M. with LPN #264 verified he did not wash his hands between Resident
#12's medication and Resident #25's medication administration. LPN #264 stated, he will wash hands
halfway through the medication administration time and will sometimes sanitize his hands but he does not
perform hand hygiene between each resident medication administration.
2. An observation on 06/03/24 from 8:45 A.M. to 9:03 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #264
performing morning medication administration for Residents #12, #25, and #34. During the medication
administration for each Resident #12, #25, and #34, LPN #264 would shake out the over-the-counter
medication into the bottle lid and then placed the medication into the medication cup for Resident #12 #25,
and #34 during separate medication administration for each resident. When LPN was removing the
prescription medications from the medication storage cards, for Residents #12, #25, and #34, LPN #264
would remove the medications from the cards by popping the plastic blister pocket into his ungloved hand
and then LPN #264 would place the medication into each medication cup. This was done during the
medication administration for each resident.
An interview on 06/03/24 at 9:03 A.M. with LPN #264 confirmed Residents #12, #25, and #34's medications
were handled by an ungloved hand, placed in the medication cup, and administered to Resident #12, #25,
and #34. LPN #264 stated it is more secure to place the medication in his hand and then into the
medication cup, then to try and pop it out of the plastic blister pocket into the medication cup.
Review of the facility's policy titled, Medication Administration - General Guidelines dated 12/20/19
revealed, The person administering medications adheres to good hand hygiene, which includes washing
hands thoroughly: before beginning a medication pass, prior to handling any medication, after coming into
direct contact with a resident, before and after administration of ophthalmic, topical, vaginal, rectal, and
parental preparations, and before and after administration of medications via enteral tubes
