F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on facility policy review, observation, clinical record review, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to assess a resident's capability to self-administer medications for one of 36 sampled residents. (Resident 121)Findings include: Residents Affected - Few Review of facility policy entitled, Resident Self-Administration of Medication, last reviewed February 13, 2025, revealed that a resident was only to self-administer medications after the facility's interdisciplinary team had determined which medications may be self-administered safely. The resident's preference would be documented on the appropriate form and placed in the medical record. The results of the interdisciplinary team assessment were recorded on the Medication Self-Administration Assessment Form which was placed in the resident's medical record. When the interdisciplinary team determined that bedside or in-room storage of medications would be a safety risk to other residents, the medications of residents permitted to self-administer would be stored in the medication cart or medication room. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 121 had diagnoses that included metabolic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction) and diabetes. Review of the Minimum Data Set assessment, dated December 22, 2025, revealed that Resident 121's cognitive ability was intact and the resident required extensive assistance from staff for activities of daily living. Observations on January 13, 2026, at 10:15 a.m., January 14, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., and January 15, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., revealed a 16-ounce jar of zinc oxide ointment and an antifungal cream unsecured on the bedside table in Resident 121's room. In an interview on January 14, 2026, at 10:15 a.m., Resident 121 stated that she self-administered the antifungal cream daily and that staff applied the zinc oxide to her sacral area after incontinence care. There was no documentation to support that the facility had assessed Resident 121 for the ability to self-administer the antifungal cream. The medications were not secured in her room. In an interview on January 16, 2026, at 9:31 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that Resident 121 was not assessed to self-administer medications, and the medications should not have been in the room. 28 Pa.

Observations on January 14, 2026, at 10:15 a.m., and 1:00 p.m., and January 15, 2026, at 9:49 a.m., revealed that the call bell was not within Resident 14's reach.
