Telephone interview on 08/06/25 at 4:55 P.M. with Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPHT) #515 with the DON present revealed the Cipro for Resident #20 was never sent because the pharmacist reached out for a drug interaction. CPHT #515 revealed the note stated an RN would clarify. The pharmacy never received the response, so they never sent the Cipro. Interview on 08/07/25 at 10:16 A.M. with CNP #514 revealed she was not made aware until just a couple minutes ago that Resident #20 was not receiving the Cipro as ordered. CNP #514 stated, the facility never told her that Resident #20 not getting straight catheterized as physician ordered. And when they do straight catheterization, the staff were obtaining more than 250 cc of urine left in the bladder and this was retention. CNP #514 confirmed retention (a condition in which a person is unable to empty their bladder completely) can cause a UTI. CNP #514 stated she was going to order an intravenous (IV) antibiotic now and more laboratory values including a urinalysis because Resident #20 did not receive the Cipro that was ordered. CNP #514 stated she was not happy with the facility and stated she had received a call from the hospital, and the urinalysis results returned from when she went to the ER on [DATE] and showed she had a UTI, that was why the Cipro was ordered.On 08/07/25 there was an order by CNP #514 to hold Cipro and start Ceftriaxone sodium solution reconstituted two grams use 2.0 grams intravenously in the

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, facility policy review and interview with resident, facility staff, pharmacy staff and nurse practitioner the facility failed to implement a comprehensive and individualized plan of treatment for Resident #20 to ensure the resident was catheterized timely and as ordered for urinary retention and provided timely and necessary treatment for a urinary tract infection (UTI). Actual harm occurred on 07/28/25 when Resident #20 demanded to be transferred to the emergency room for uncontrolled pain. The resident was subsequently treated for urinary retention and a UTI. Prior to the hospitalization, the resident had physician orders to be straight catheterized for urine retention every six hours; however, this was not being completed as ordered. Following the hospital treatment the facility failed to administer Resident #20's oral antibiotics per the physician orders and continued not to straight catheterize as ordered resulting in the need for intravenous medications. This affected one resident (#20) of three residents reviewed for UTIs. The census was 70. Findings include: Record review revealed Resident #20 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease, UTI, and retention of urine. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #20 was cognitively intact. The assessment revealed Resident #20 required supervision or touch assistance with toileting hygiene. Resident #20 had no indwelling catheter or intermittent catheter noted on the MDS assessment. Record review revealed the facility had not developed/implemented a plan of care for Resident #20 for the care and treatment for urinary retention or history of urinary tract infections. Review of the physician's orders revealed an order dated 03/31/25 to straight catheterize every six hours for urinary retention four times a day. The procedure was scheduled to be completed at 5:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M., 5:00 P.M. and 11:00 P.M. Review of the progress note for Resident #20 dated 07/21/25 at 2:32 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #275 documented completed straight catheterization two times with no visible output. The note included the resident was able to urinate on her own and does it every time she was straight catheterized. The note also included this had been a recurrent issue with Resident #20 and her straight catheterization ordered may need to be revised. However, there was no evidence the physician or certified nurse practitioner (CNP) were contacted to report this or discuss the ongoing care needs of the resident related to her urinary status/urinary retention and/or straight catheterization order. A progress note dated 07/27/25 at 10:42 A.M. completed by LPN #511 revealed Resident #20 was to be straight catheterized every six hours for urinary retention. The procedure was not completed; the supplies were pending order. There was no documentation of notification to the physician/CNP the nurse was unable to complete the procedure, and no documentation Resident #20 requested to speak to the CNP on this date (07/27/25) A progress note dated 07/28/25 at 8:44 P.M. completed by Unit Manager (UM) #293 revealed UM #293 was informed by staff the resident placed call to 911 demanding to be sent to the emergency room (ER) related to uncontrolled pain. The note included Resident #20 was assessed by floor nurse, and all vital signs were within normal limits and no other areas of concern noted. Resident #20 continued to demand to go to ER for further evaluation. Call placed to the CNP making the CNP aware and a verbal order was given to transfer Resident #20 to ER for further evaluation. Review of the hospital After Visit Summary dated 07/28/25 revealed the reason for visit was urinary problem. Diagnosis was urinary retention. The summary included: You had an indwelling urinary catheter placed to drain your urine. A basic metabolic panel, complete blood count, urinalysis with microscopic, reflex culture and urine culture were completed. (Results not provided in record).

The MAR indicated Resident #20 received the Cipro on 08/03/25, 08/04/25, and 08/06/25 at 9:00 A.M. only (three of 10 doses documented as administered). However, review of the pharmacy delivery manifest with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 08/06/25 revealed Resident #20's Cipro had never been delivered to the facility (indicating the three doses documented as administered were not actually administered to Resident #20). On 08/04/25 an order was obtained to remove indwelling catheter today (08/04/25) and straight catheterize every four to six hours. An order was also provided for Enhanced Barrier Precautions - use gown and gloves for high contact resident care including dressing, bathing, showering, transfers, hygiene care, changing linens, changing briefs, assisting with toileting, dressing changes, and care for any device including trach, central line, tube feeding and catheter.

Resident #20 stated staff make excuses and tell her she doesn't need to be straight catheterized because she does urinate. Resident #20 stated sometimes she does urinate and sometimes she doesn't. Resident #20 stated staff provide straight catheterization about three times a day, but she was scheduled four times a day. Resident #20 stated the previous Monday (07/28/25) she had chills, back and abdominal pain, she requested to see the CNP, but she never came. That night she was supposed to be catheterized at 11:00 P.M. but the nurse did not come until 3:00 A.M. She requested several times to see the nurse, but she never came. Resident #20 revealed she was shivering and the abdominal pain continued, she was yelling and still no one came. She called the facility, and no one answered the telephone. Resident #20 stated she became nauseous, needed help, so she called 911. She was then taken to the hospital. Resident #20 stated the ER nurses had to clean her up, and they placed a (urinary) catheter and got 700 cubic centimeters (cc) urine return. The ER physician said she was correct to come to the ER as that was too much urine. Resident #20 stated she received an order for Cipro because she had a UTI that was found from her hospital visit. Resident #20 stated her concern was that she was catheterized last this morning between 4:00 A.M. and 4:30 A.M. and staff have not been in yet to do the next one. Interview on 08/06/25 at 3:15 P.M. with LPN #275 revealed she was Resident #20's primary care nurse. LPN #275 stated she has not straight catheterized her at all today (08/06/25) and was not aware of how frequent Resident #20 need to be straight catharized. LPN #275 referred to the physician orders at the time of the interview and confirmed Resident #20 should be straight catheterized every six hours. Observation on 08/06/25 at 3:35 P.M. revealed LPN #275 was walking down the hall. LPN #275 stated Resident #20 was just straight catheterized and got 500 cc of urine out. UM #293 was present and stated LPN #275 went in Resident #20's room at 11:00 A.M. to straight catheterized her and Resident #20 was not in her room so the next catheter would not be due until 5:00 P.M. anyway.

Resident #20 stated to the DON she was upset she had not been getting her Cipro like she was supposed to, and it started later than it was supposed to. Interview on 08/06/25 at 4:34 P.M. with LPN #275 with the DON present confirmed she administered Resident #20 her Cipro this morning and the Cipro was prepackaged by the pharmacy in the medication cart. Observation revealed the DON checked the medication cart with Resident #20's prepackaged medications, and confirmed Resident #20 did not have any Cipro present in any of the prepackaged medications or any other location of the medication cart. Telephone interview on 08/06/25 at 4:55 P.M. with Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPHT) #515 with the DON present revealed the Cipro for Resident #20 was never sent because the pharmacist reached out for a drug interaction. CPHT #515 revealed the note stated an RN would clarify. The pharmacy never received the response, so they never sent the Cipro.

CNP #514 confirmed retention (a condition in which a person is unable to empty their bladder completely) can cause a UTI. CNP #514 stated she was going to order an intravenous (IV) antibiotic now and more laboratory values including a urinalysis because Resident #20 did not receive the Cipro that was ordered. CNP #514 stated she was not happy with the facility and stated she had received a call from the hospital, and the urinalysis results returned from when she went to the ER on [DATE] and showed she had a UTI, that was why the Cipro was ordered. On 08/07/25 there was an order by CNP #514 to hold Cipro and start Ceftriaxone sodium solution reconstituted two grams use 2.0 grams intravenously in the morning for infection for three days. Flush peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line/midline/central line with 10 cubic centimeters (cc) normal saline (NS) before and after medication administration.

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews with resident, staff and Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP), record review, review of insulin administration guidelines, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from significant medication errors. This affected four (#7, #11, #20, and #68) of six residents reviewed for medication administration. The facility census was 70.Findings included: 1. Record review revealed Resident #20 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including urinary tract infection (UTI) and retention of urine. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #20 was cognitively intact. On 08/01/25 there was a physician order for Cipro (antibiotic) oral tablet 500 milligrams (mg) give one tablet by mouth two times a day for a UTI for seven days. A progress note dated 08/02/25 at 3:07 P.M. completed by RN #333 revealed an alert from the pharmacy regarding the new order entered for Cipro 500 mg give one tablet by mouth two times a day for UTI for seven days had triggered possible drug to drug interactions. Review of the medication administration record from 08/01/25 to 08/06/25 revealed Cipro was to be administered at 9:00 P.M. and 9:00 A.M. for seven days and it was to start on 08/02/25 at 9:00 P.M. On 08/02/25 at 9:00 P.M., the number nine was documented in the timeframe, which indicated to see the nurses' notes. From 08/02/25 through 08/06/25 for the scheduled dose at 9:00 P.M. the boxes all documented a number nine. The MAR indicated Resident #20 received the Cipro on 08/03/25, 08/04/25, and 08/06/25 at 9:00 A.M. only (three of 10 doses documented as administered). However, review of the pharmacy delivery manifest with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 08/06/25 revealed Resident #20's Cipro had never been delivered to the facility (indicating the three doses documented as administered were not actually administered to Resident #20). Interview on 08/06/25 at 3:40 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the DON reviewed Resident #20's Medication Administration Record (MAR) and confirmed Cipro was ordered on 08/01/25 and was scheduled to start on 08/02/25 at 9:00 P.M. The DON confirmed from 08/02/25 through 08/06/25 for the scheduled doses at 9:00 P.M. the boxes all had a number nine; and documented Resident #20 received Cipro three of 10 doses on 08/03/25, 08/04/25, and 08/06/25 at 9:00 A.M. only. Interview on 08/06/25 at 4:32 P.M. with Resident #20 and with the DON present revealed Resident #20 stated to the DON she was upset she had not been getting her Cipro like she was supposed to, and it started later than it was supposed to. Interview on 08/06/25 at 4:34 P.M. with LPN #275 with the DON present confirmed she administered Resident #20 her Cipro this morning and the Cipro was prepackaged by the pharmacy in the medication cart. Observation revealed the DON checked the medication cart with Resident #20's prepackaged medications, and confirmed Resident #20 did not have any Cipro present in any of the prepackaged medications or any other location of the medication cart. Telephone interview on 08/06/25 at 4:55 P.M. with Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPHT) #515 with the DON present revealed the Cipro for Resident #20 was never sent because the pharmacist reached out for a drug interaction. CPHT #515 revealed the note stated an RN would clarify. The pharmacy never received the response, so they never sent the Cipro. The DON verified LPN #275 documented on the MAR she gave Resident #20 the Cipro from the prepackaged medications this A.M. Interview on 08/07/25 at 10:16 A.M. with CNP #514 revealed she was not made aware until just a couple minutes ago that Resident #20 was not receiving the Cipro as ordered. CNP #514 stated she was going to order an intravenous (IV) antibiotic now and more laboratory values including a urinalysis because Resident #20 did not receive the Cipro that was ordered. CNP #514 stated she was not happy with the facility and stated she had received a call from the hospital, and the urinalysis results returned from when she went to the ER on [DATE] and showed she had a UTI, that was why the Cipro was ordered. On 08/07/25 there was an order by CNP

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, resident and staff interview, record review, review of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure staff wore personal protective equipment (PPE) for a resident on Enhanced Barrier Protection (EBP). This affected one (#20) of one resident reviewed for infection control. The facility census was 70. Findings include: Record review for Resident #20 revealed an admission date of 07/20/24. Diagnoses included Parkinson's disease and retention of urine. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #20 was cognitively intact. Resident #20 had no indwelling catheter or intermittent catheter. Review of the physician orders for Resident #20 revealed an order dated 03/31/25 to straight catheterize every six hours or urinary retention four times a day for urinary retention; an order dated 08/01/25 for Cipro (antibiotic) oral tablet 500 milligrams (mg) give one tablet by mouth two times a day for a urinary tract infection (UTI) for seven days; and an order dated 08/04/25 for EBP use gown and gloves for high contact resident care including dressing,, bathing, showering, transfers, hygiene care, changing linens, changing briefs, assisting with toileting, dressing changes and care of any device including trach, central line, tube feeding and catheter. Observation on 08/07/25 at 11:38 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #518 and Unit Manager (UM) #350 straight catheterized Resident #20. UM #350 assisted Resident #20 back to bed and repositioned her legs. Neither LPN #518 nor UM #350 donned an isolation gown. LPN #518 straight catheterized Resident #20 for a residual of 1,300 cubic centimeters (cc) during the second attempt. LPN #518 then provided peri care for Resident #20. Resident #20 stated when staff straight catheterized her, they never wear isolation gowns. UM #350 stated nurses would only wear an isolation gown if the resident had an infection Interview on 08/07/25 at 12:21 P.M. with DON revealed staff should wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for wound care, peri care, indwelling catheter, or when providing care for a specific reason. DON confirmed staff should wear an isolation gown when providing hands on care for Resident #20. Review of the facility policy titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) revised February 2021 revealed EBP are utilized to prevent the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO's) to residents. EBP refers to an infection control intervention designed to reduce the transmission of MDRO's during high contact resident care activities. EBP apply when a resident is not known to be infected or colonized with any MDRO, has a wound or indwelling medical device, and has secretions or excretions that are unable to be covered or contained. Indwelling medical devices include urinary catheters. EBP's employ targeted gown and glove use in addition to standard precautions during high contact resident care activities. Review of CDC guidance titled Implementation of PPE Use in Nursing Homes to Prevent Spread of Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDROs) found at https://www.cdc.gov/long-term-care-facilities/hcp/prevent-mdro/PPE.html and dated 04/02/24 revealed MDRO transmission is common in skilled nursing facilities, contributing to substantial resident morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare costs. EBP are an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. EBP may be indicated for residents with any of the following: wounds or indwelling medical devices, regardless of MDRO colonization status. This was an incidental finding discovered during the course of the complaint investigation.
