Resident #5's MAR for the timeframe 06/01/2025-06/30/2025, revealed Registered Nurse (RN) #1 signed
Resident #5's MAR on 06/02/2025, indicating she administered medication to Resident #5.
RN #1 was interviewed on 06/02/2025 at 8:47 AM. RN #1 stated the facility's policy indicated medications
were not to be left at a resident's bedside. The RN stated she did not leave medication in resident rooms
because the resident may throw the medication away instead of taking the medication. RN #1 stated there
were residents in the facility that were able to self-administer medications and identified Resident #5 as a
resident who was able to self-administer medication. She stated she was unsure if Resident #5 had been
assessed for self-administration or had a physician's order to self-administer medication. RN #1 stated she
had been trained by multiple staff, and they all told her it was fine to leave medication at Resident #5's
bedside. RN #1 checked Resident #5's physician orders and stated the medications she left at the
resident's bedside included potassium, ferrous gluconate, aspirin, two tablets of acetaminophen, sertraline,
midodrine, pantoprazole, and senna. RN #1 stated she gave the resident the medications around 8:30 AM
on 06/02/2025. RN #1 stated she should not have left the medication in the resident's room without knowing
if there was an order to leave the medication at the bedside or if the resident had been assessed to
self-administer medications.

left at a resident's bedside without a physician's order and a completed self-administration assessment. The
RN Regional Clinician went to Resident #5's room and heard Resident #5 say the nurse left the medication
in the room. The RN Regional Clinician stated she had not reviewed Resident #5's medical record and was
unaware if the resident had been assessed to self-administer medication.
The Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed on 06/02/2025 at 9:00 AM. The DON stated it was not good
that medications had been left at Resident #5's bedside and he expected nurses not to leave medications
at the bedside. He stated that the danger of leaving medication at bedside included the resident not taking
the medication. The DON stated the expectation was for nurses to watch residents take medications to
verify the medications were taken. The DON stated he felt RN #1 showed poor judgement in not returning
to the room after she was notified the medications were at the resident's bedside and RN #1 required more
training. The DON stated it was a standard of practice not to leave medication at a resident's bedside, and
Resident #5 lacked the capacity for self-administration of medications.

An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 04/04/2025,
indicated Resident #39 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, which indicated the
resident had intact cognition. The MDS indicated Resident #39 required substantial to maximal assistance
with toileting hygiene and had an indwelling urinary catheter.
Resident #39's Care Plan Report, revealed a focus area initiated 04/17/2025, that indicated the resident
had the potential to develop complications due to the use of an indwelling urinary catheter. Interventions
directed staff to secure the urinary catheter tubing to prevent accidental dislodgement.
Resident #39's Order Summary Report for active physician orders as of 06/03/2025 revealed an order
started dated 06/03/2025, for an indwelling urinary catheter. The Order Summary Report also revealed an

muscle issues. The surveyor noted Resident #39 was in a wheelchair and no device was observed that
secured the resident's urinary catheter tubing.
An observation on 06/03/2025 beginning at 11:36 AM, revealed State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #5 and
STNA #6 were providing catheter care for Resident #39. The observation revealed the resident's indwelling
urinary catheter tubing was not secured. STNA #6 stated when Resident #39 was initially readmitted to the
facility, there was a piece of tape being used to secure the urinary catheter tubing to the resident's leg. At
the time of the observation, a piece of tape was observed wrapped and knotted on the catheter tubing but
was not connected to the resident's leg to secure the tubing in place. The STNA's stated the facility had
other devices to secure urinary catheter tubing but was unsure whether a device had been tried for
Resident #39.
STNA #2 was interviewed on 06/03/2025 at 12:00 PM. STNA #2 stated she was the resident's primary
STNA for 06/03/2025 and had taken care of Resident #39 off and on since admission. She stated the
resident had a urinary catheter securement device at times, but she was unsure the last time she had seen
the catheter secured. The STNA stated she had been in Resident #39's room on 06/03/2025 but had not
paid attention to the resident's indwelling urinary catheter.
