Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #56 revealed an admission date of 11/09/24 with diagnoses including cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, benign neoplasm of colon, peripheral vascular disease, and type two diabetes mellitus. Review of the physician's orders for Resident #56 revealed an order dated 11/11/24 for Aspirin 81 milligrams (mg.) chewable, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day and an order dated 02/11/25 for Senna-S 8.6-50 mg., give one tablet by mouth twice daily. Observation of medication administration 02/25/25 at 8:45 A.M. for Resident #56 per Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #18 revealed the nurse administered a Senna 8.6 mg tablet and an enteric coated Aspirin tablet 81 mg. crushed in applesauce.

Review of a summary sheet written by the Cleveland Clinic titled Aspirin Enteric-Coated Capsules or Tablets dated 2025 revealed enteric coated Aspirin should be swallowed whole. Patients are advised not to crush, chew, or cut enteric coated Aspirin, because doing so can increase stomach distress. Review of the facility policy titled Medication Administration dated 08/07/23 revealed the facility would safely and accurately prepare and administer medication according to physician order, professional standards of practice, and resident needs. Medications should not be crushed when clinically contraindicated. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00162882.
