Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to determine if residents were safe to self-administer medications for one of 27 residents
reviewed (Resident 28).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's self-administration of medications policy, dated March 13, 2024, indicated that if a resident
desired to self-administer medications they would require a physician's order. The facility's medication
administration policy, dated March 13, 2024, indicated that the nurse must stay with the resident until
medication is taken.
An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 28, dated January 30, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact,
required extensive assistance from staff with care, had impaired movement of one side of upper and lower
extremities, and had diagnoses that included hemiplegia (the inability to move one side of the body).
Current physician's orders included an order for the resident to receive 1 gram of Carafate (a medication
used to treat and prevent ulcers in the intestines) by mouth four times daily. The resident's record contained
no documented evidence that an evaluation was completed to determine if the resident was capable of
self-administering medications and no evidence of a physician's order for self-administering medications.
Observations during medication administration on May 1, 2024, at 10:48 a.m. revealed that Licensed
Practical ([NAME]) prepared a 1 gram tablet of Carafate in a cup, placed the cup on Resident 28's bedside
table, and left the room.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 1 on May 1, 2024, at 10:49 a.m. confirmed that she left the
Carafate with Resident 28 and should not have.
Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on May 1, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. confirmed that there was no
assessment completed to determine if Resident 28 was safe to self-administer medications and no
physician's order for self administration. She also confirmed that Licensed Practical Nurse 1 should not
have left the Carafate tablet with Resident 28.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan related to the use of anticoagulant medication for
one of 27 residents reviewed (Resident 40).
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding care plans, dated March 13, 2024, indicated that an individualized
comprehensive care plan will be developed by the interdisciplinary team within 21 days of admission for
each resident. The care plan will include focus issues, problems and needs (social, emotional,
psychological, physical, behavioral, rehabilitation, cultural, spiritual, nutritional, leisure, prevention of decline
in condition, ect.) that have been identified through resident involvement, direct observation, coordination of
discipline observations and assessment. As each issue, problem or need is added to the care plan, a date
will be recorded with the issue to document the specific time when the issue was identified.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 40, dated March 19, 2024, revealed that the resident had clear speech, was
understood and could understand, was severely cognitively impaired, required assistance from staff for
daily care needs, and had diagnoses that included pulmonary embolism (blood clot in lungs) requiring
long-term use of anticoagulant (blood-thinning medications) medications.
Current physician's orders for Resident 40 included an order for the resident to receive 5 mg of Apixaban
(blood thinning medication) twice a day for a pulmonary embolism.
There was no documented evidence that a care plan was created for the use and risks of anticoagulant
medications.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
ensure that appropriate treatment and services were provided to prevent the development of pressure
ulcers for one of 27 residents reviewed (Resident 39).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 39, dated February 26, 2024, revealed that the resident was usually understood,
could usually understands others, was frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder, had diagnoses that
included Parkinson's disease and dementia, and had one Stage 2 pressure injury (a partial thickness loss
of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red pink wound bed) that was not present upon
admission.
A nursing note for Resident 39, dated February 19, 2024, revealed that the resident was admitted from
another nursing care facility and that the resident had a small red mark to his right posterior thigh from his
brief.
A care plan for Resident 39, dated February 19, 2024, revealed that the resident was at risk for impaired
skin integrity.
A nursing note for Resident 39, dated February 24, 2024, revealed that at 3:05 a.m. the writer received a
call from the licensed practical nurse that this resident had a blister to his leg. There was a 30 centimeter
(cm) by 7 cm water blister to his left upper/inner thigh in the area of where the incontinent brief would
normally be present.
A nursing note for Resident 39, dated February 25, 2024, at 10:56 a.m. and completed as an addendum to
the nursing note dated February 24, 2024, revealed that the serum-filled blister measured 1.5 cm x 3.0 cm
x 0.0 cm. The resident's brief was checked at this time and noted with proper placement. A nursing note at
1:39 p.m. revealed that the serum-filled blister drained when the resident got up to go to the bathroom.
A nursing note for Resident 39, dated February 26, 2024, revealed that the interdisciplinary team review of
the blister to the resident's left leg revealed that the root cause was related to the brief placement, and that
the intervention was to evaluate the placement of the brief and to reposition appropriately for comfort, as
well as apply skin prep (a liquid film-forming dressing that, upon application to intact skin, forms a protective
film to help reduce friction) to the blister.
However, there was no documented evidence that Resident 39's brief was evaluated and/or that preventive
interventions were started when a red mark caused by the brief was identified on February 19, 2024, and
progressed to a blister on February 24, 2024.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on May 1, 2024, at 2:15 p.m. confirmed that there was no
documented evidence that Resident 39's brief was evaluated and/or that preventive interventions were
started when an area of concern was identified on February 19, 2024, and progressed to a blister on
February 24, 2024.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on review of policies, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to store food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding food safety, dated March 13, 2024, indicated that food needs to be stored in
clear plastic containers covered with a lid, labeled with the name of the food, dated with a prepared date,
and a use by date. The item can also be wrapped, dated, and labeled so that the food item was air tight.
Observations in the walk-in freezer on April 29, 2024, at 9:45 a.m. revealed opened and unlabeled bags of
corn with peppers and onions, green beans, hamburger patties, and hash browns that were not in a clear
plastic container. Interview with the Dietary Manager at the time revealed that staff should be using a label
maker to put a sticker on the food item when a new container is opened.
Observations in the walk-in refrigerator on April 29, 2024, at 9:45 a.m. revealed that there was a five-pound
plastic container of cottage cheese opened and unlabeled; a three-pound container of whipped cream
cheese spread opened, undated, and with a best by dated of March 21, 2024; and a 64-ounce container of
almond milk opened, unlabeled, with a best by date of April 15, 2024. Interview with the Dietary Manager at
the time indicated that the dates are best by dates and not expiration dates, and that the containers should
be labeled with the date when opened.
