F 0760 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 record review, interview and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure residents were free from significant medication errors.

Medical diagnoses included vesicointestinal fistula, acute cystitis without hematuria, asthma, chronic kidney disease Stage III, anxiety disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, personal history of urinary tract infections (UTI), and personal history of malignant neoplasms of cervix and bladder. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #19 had intact cognition. The resident required assistance from staff to complete Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) ranging from supervision to substantial assistance. Review of the progress notes revealed on 06/06/24 at 7:04 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #202 mistakenly administered another resident's medications to Resident #19. LPN #202 immediately informed Resident #19 of the error. LPN #202 also notified the Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) and Director of Health Services (DHS) of the medication error. LPN #202 assessed Resident #19 and found the resident in stable condition with no new signs or symptoms. Review of the written statement completed on 06/27/24 by Regional Nurse (RGN) #350 revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #202 notified the Nurse Practitioner (NP) on 06/06/24 at 2:40 P.M. of a medication error that had occurred for Resident #19. LPN #202 reported Resident #19 was administered another resident's medications. Resident #19 was administered Tylenol 325 mg and Propafenone (a medication to treat atrial fibrillation) 150 mg by mistake. The NP ordered labs which were completed and reviewed by the NP without any new orders provided. LPN #202 reported Resident #19's blood pressure on 06/06/24 at 4:52 P.M. was 128/67 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and within normal limits.

The nurse stated she identified the error right away and notified the resident and the NP. LPN #202 followed the NP's orders and continued to monitor Resident #19 with no signs of any negative outcome noted. Review of the Medication Administration General Guidelines policy dated 11/18 revealed medications are administered as prescribed in accordance with good nursing principles and practices and only by persons legally authorized to do so. Personnel authorized to administer medications do so only after they have been properly oriented to the facility's medication distribution system (procurement, storage, handling and administration). The facility has sufficient personnel and a medication distribution system to ensure safe administration of medications without unnecessary interruptions. Medication preparation includes the five rights of medication administration: Right resident, right drug, right dose, right route and right time, are applied for each medication being administered. A triple check of these five rights is recommended at three steps in the process of preparation of a medication for administration: 1. when the medication is selected, 2. when the dose is removed from the container, and finally 3. just after the dose is prepared and the medication put away. Medications are administered in accordance with written orders of the prescriber. Residents are identified before medication is administered. Methods of identification include: checking a photograph attached to the medical record; calling resident by name (except in residents with cognitive impairment); having the resident verify his/her last name; if necessary, verifying resident identification with other facility personnel. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00154766 and Complaint Number OH00154005.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, medical record review, interview, and review of the manufacture guidelines the facility failed to ensure the glucometer was properly disinfected after use. This affected one resident (Resident #4) of five residents observed for medication administration. The facility census was 46. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #4's medical record revealed an admission date of 11/16/20 with diagnoses including type two diabetes mellitus, unspecified dementia, and anxiety. Resident #4 required assistance from staff to complete activities of daily living (ADL) tasks including obtaining blood glucose readings and medication administration. Review of Resident #4's physician orders dated 04/15/24 revealed an order to obtain blood glucose readings before meals and at bedtime. Observation on 06/27/24 at 7:45 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #200 was completing morning medication administration for Resident #4. LPN #200 removed the glucometer from a drawer in the medication cart and placed it on the top of the medication cart (the glucometer was stored loosely in the drawer with blood glucose monitoring supplies including alcohol pads, glucometer testing strips and lancets). LPN #200 then gathered the supplies needed to obtain Resident #4's blood glucose (sugar) reading (a lancet to pierce the residents finger, a test strip and alcohol pad) and entered the resident's room. LPN #200 placed the supplies, including the glucometer, on Resident #4's bedside table without a barrier between the glucometer and the resident's bedside table. LPN #200 donned gloves and obtained the blood sample by piercing the resident's finger with the lancet and placing a sample of blood on the test strip that was inserted into the glucometer. LPN #200 exited the room and placed the glucometer directly on the top of the medication cart without a barrier between the glucometer and the medication cart. LPN #200 removed the test strip from the glucometer and disposed of the test strip in the sharp's container and then doffed their gloves. LPN #200 unlocked the medication cart and placed the glucometer back into the drawer of the medication cart without cleaning or sanitizing the glucometer following the use for Resident #4. Interview and observation on 06/27/24 at 8:05 A.M. with LPN #200 confirmed the glucometer was not disinfected prior to or following use for Resident #4. LPN #200 stated the glucometer should have been cleaned prior to and following the use of the glucometer. During the interview with LPN #200, the LPN was observed to remove the glucometer from the drawer of the medication cart and obtain an alcohol pad, opened the alcohol pad, and without donning gloves, began to partially wipe the glucometer with the alcohol pad. LPN #200 then placed the glucometer back into the drawer of the medication cart and disposed of the alcohol pad in the trash can on the medication cart. After completion, LPN #200 confirmed the glucometer had been partially wiped with an alcohol pad instead of the approved disinfecting wipes and the LPN verified gloves were not worn during the procedure. Review of the manufacturer guidelines for Assure Prism multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System dated 12/17 revealed, Guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting the Assure Prism multi: Always wear appropriate protective gear, including disposable gloves; open disinfectant package; Wipe the entire surface of the meter using the disinfectant wipe at least three times vertically and three times horizontally to clean blood and other body fluids from the meter.; Dispose the disinfectant wipe; Allow the exterior to remain wet for one minute, then wipe the meter dry using a dry cloth.
