Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) and staff interview, it was
determined the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set Assessments (MDS - a federally mandated
standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) accurately reflected the
status of three residents out of 21 sampled (Residents 59, 66, and 24).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
A review of Resident 59's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses which included dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent loss of
intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and often with
personality change, resulting from disease of the brain).
A review of Resident 59's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed in Section P0100, Physical
Restraints, Resident 59 required a trunk restraint while in a chair documented as Code 1 indicating the
device was used less than daily.
A review of physician's orders for Resident 59 failed to identify any orders for the resident to have a physical
restraint.
An interview with the Director of Nursing on September 11, 2024, at approximately 12:30 PM revealed the
resident has never had any type of physical restraint while residing in the facility.
A review of Resident 66's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], Section N0415 indicated that the
resident received an anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication during the 7-day look-back period.
A review of Resident 66's clinical record revealed the resident was not prescribed anticoagulant therapy
during the month of August 2024.
A review of Resident 24's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], Section N0415 indicated the resident
received antipsychotic and anticoagulant medications during the 7-day look-back period. Further review of
the MDS Section N0450, Antipsychotic Medication Review, indicated the resident did not receive
antipsychotics.
A review of Resident 24's clinical record revealed the resident was prescribed an antipsychotic medication
during the month of August 2024, and received that medication daily during the 7-day look-back period.
Further review of the clinical record revealed the resident did not receive any anticoagulant therapy during
the month of August 2024.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on review of clinical records, select facility policy, and resident and staff interviews it was determined
the facility failed to maintain an environment free of potential accident hazards during medication
administration for one resident of 21 sampled (Resident 39).
Findings include:
A review of facility policy titled Medication Administration, last reviewed by the facility on November 17,
2023, indicated that for each medication, the medication administration record and the label on the
medication container will be checked for the correct name of the resident and medication, time to be
administered, strength, and route of administration. If any discrepancies, check with the physician's order
and the pharmacy before giving the medication. The policy also indicated that residents may self-administer
their own medications unless their attending physician deemed them not capable of doing so.
Review of clinical records for Resident 39 revealed admission to the facility on December 17, 2023, with
diagnosis to include Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disease that destroys memory and other
important mental functions), and glaucoma (an eye condition where the nerve connecting the eye to the
brain is damaged, usually due to high eye pressure).
A quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-standardized assessment completed at specific intervals
to identify specific resident care needs) dated August 21, 2024, indicated the resident was cognitively intact
with a BIMS score of 15 (Brief Interview for Mental Status - a tool to assess cognitive function. A score of
13-15 represents intact cognitive responses).
Review of a physician's order dated January 4, 2024, revealed the resident was not to take her own
medications or administer eye drops without proper assessment. Do not leave medications at bedside.
Review of facility documentation titled Medication Error Report dated July 16, 2024, at 1:24 PM revealed
that Resident 39 was administered the wrong medication via the wrong route (the way by which the
medication in taken into the body- i.e. oral, intravenously, eye, ear, etc.). The report indicated the resident
asked for more applesauce and Employee 1 (licensed practical nurse) placed the resident's medications on
the bedside table and stated she would be right back. Resident 39 placed ear drops into her eyes while the
nurse was out of the room. The report indicated there was no physician's order for the ear drop medication.
Interview with Resident 39 on September 10, 2024, at 12:05 PM confirmed she self-administered drops
into her eyes on July 16, 2024. She stated the nurse put down two bottles of drops and left the room for a
while. I grabbed the bottle and put it in my eyes. Why she brought the ear drops in to clean my ears is
beyond me.
Interview with Employee 1 on September 10, 2024, at 1:50 PM revealed that upon entering the resident's
room, she placed the eye drop bottles on the residents bedside table tray. While giving Resident 39 her oral
medication, the resident requested more applesauce to take with her pills. Employee 1 left the room to get
more applesauce from her medication cart and left the eyedrops bottles on the bedside table tray. She
reported she told the resident I'll be right back. While at her medication cart a facility employee, with a
bleeding hand, approached Employee 1 and asked for assistance.

Employee 1 obtained gauze for the employee and returned to Resident 39's room. Upon re-entering
Resident 39's room, the resident told Employee 1 she self-administered the drops into her eyes and then
realized they were ear drops.
Employee 1 confirmed that resident medications were not to be left at the bedside. She also confirmed that
Resident 39 did not have a current order for ear drops and there was no documentation for Resident 39 to
self-administer her own medications.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on September 11, 2024, at approximately 9:45 AM,
she confirmed that nursing staff are to check the medication label for the correct name of medications
before entering the residents room. She confirmed that medications should not be left at the bedside. The
facility failed to ensure the residents environment was free of accident hazards.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of select facility policy and clinical records, and staff interview it was determined the facility
failed to monitor the nutritional parameters of a resident with an identified significant weight loss and weight
gain for 2 of 21 residents sampled (Resident 25 and Resident 64).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of a facility policy titled Weight Monitoring last reviewed by the facility on November 7, 2023,
revealed the unit manager or designee will notify the clinical dietary department of any 5 pound fluctuation
in weight within 24 hours. Further the physician and responsible party will be notified. If a fluctuation of 5
pounds or greater is noted, the resident must again be weighed immediately to verify accuracy.
A review of Resident 25's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on November 12, 2015, with
diagnoses to include dementia (the loss of thinking, remembering, and reasoning to such an extent that it
interferes with a person's daily life and activities) and severe protein calorie malnutrition (lack of sufficient
nutrients in the body).
A review of the resident's weights noted the following:
June 13, 2024 - 110.8 lbs.
July 3. 2024 - 87.4 lbs. indicating a 23.4 lb. weight loss or 21.1% loss of body weight.
The facility failed to reweigh the resident immediately after the resident had a 23.4 pound weight loss.
There was no documented evidence the facility had notified the physician and resident representative of the
significant weight loss.
Review of a dietary note dated July 9, 2024, at 11:11 AM revealed the dietitian noted the resident's
significant weight loss and questioned the accuracy of the weight. The dietitian further indicated she
requested nursing to do a reweights on the resident three times, but the facility staff failed to do so. There
was no new weight available to review.
Further review of the resident's weights noted the following:
July 11, 2024 - 109.2 lbs.
August 8, 2024 - 102.8 lbs. indicating a 6.4 lb. weight loss or 5.9% loss of body weight.
The facility failed to reweigh the resident immediately after the resident had a 6.4 pound weight loss.
There was no documented evidence the facility had notified the physician and resident representative of the
significant weight loss.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and select facility policy and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to
attempt non-pharmacological interventions to alleviate pain prior to the administration of pain medication
prescribed on an as needed basis for one out of 21 residents reviewed (Residents 24 )
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of a facility policy entitled Pain Management Nursing last revised July 2023, indicated that non drug
interventions should be tried prior to medication administration and as appropriate in conjunction with
medication usage to provide pain relief. Interventions can include positioning, PT/OT (physical
therapy/occupational therapy) modalities, relaxation techniques, and diversional activities.
A review of Resident 24's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included rheumatoid arthritis (chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints. This
results in painful joints, swelling and stiffness in the joints), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (type of
obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term poor airflow. The main symptoms include shortness of
breath and cough with sputum production. COPD typically worsens over time), and hypertension (high
blood pressure).
A review of current physician's orders for Resident 24 revealed an order August 22, 2024, for Oxycodone
HCL 5mg every 6 hours as needed (PRN) for moderate to severe pain (pain scale 6-10).
A review of Resident 24's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated September 2024, revealed that

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to develop and
implement an individualized person-centered plan to render trauma informed care to a resident with a
diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for one out of 18 residents reviewed (Resident 71).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 71 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
The resident's current care plan, in effect at the time of review on September 13, 2024, did not identify the
resident's PTSD symptoms or triggers related to this diagnosis and resident specific interventions to meet
the resident's needs for minimizing triggers and/or re-traumatization.
The facility failed to develop and implement an individualized person-centered plan to address, this
resident's diagnosis of PTSD according to standards of practice to promote the resident's emotional
well-being and safety.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on September 13, 2024, at 10:00 AM confirmed the facility
was unable to demonstrate that the facility provided culturally competent, trauma-informed care in
accordance with professional standards of practice and accounting for resident's experiences and
preferences to eliminate or mitigate triggers that may cause re-traumatization of the resident.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on review of select facility policy and controlled drug shift count records, observations, and staff
interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement pharmacy procedures for the reconciliation
of controlled drugs on one of four medication carts (A2 Cart E even).
Finding include:
A review of the Shift Change Checks sheet for September 2024, for the medication cart on A2 Cart E even
September 12, 2024, at approximately 9:00 a.m., revealed that the on-coming nurse and/or off-going nurse
failed to sign the sheets during shift change on the following dates to verify completion of the task to count
the controlled drugs in the respective medication cart on:
September 1, 2024, off-going 11p.m. to 7a.m. shift
September 2, 2024, off-going 7a.m. to 3p.m. shift
September 9, 2024, on-coming 7a.m. to 3p.m. shift
September 10, 2024, on-coming and off-going for the 3p.m. to 11p.m. shift
September 12, 2024, on-coming 7a.m. to 3p.m. shift.
Interview with Employee 4 (LPN), on September 12, 2024, at approximately 9:00 a.m., confirmed the
observation and acknowledged the licensed nurse signatures are expected to be signed at change of shift
to confirm inventory of narcotics.
Interview with Employee 5 (RN Unit Manager), on September 12, 2024, at approximately 9:15 a.m. further
confirmed that nursing staff must count controlled medications at the end of each shift and both the
on-coming and off-going nurses must sign that the narcotic inventory is correct.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on September 13, 2024, at approximately 1:10 p.m.,
confirmed that it is her expectation that nursing staff signs the Control Substance logs, Inter Shift Drug
Record, at change of shift to demonstrate that they completed the count of the controlled drugs to identify
potential discrepancies.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, select facility policy, and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to
adequately indicate the need for an opioid pain medication for one resident out of 13 residents reviewed
(Resident 9).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of facility policy titled, Pain Management, last revised July 2023, revealed it is facility policy to
evaluate and manage pain for all residents. The policy indicates pain management orders should always
have parameters using the numerical scale to be given for a pain of Mild 1-3, Moderate 4-6, or Severe 7-10.
A clinical record review revealed Resident 9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
include unspecified psychosis (a condition that indicates the presence of psychosis but with inadequate
information to make the diagnosis of a specific psychotic disorder) and major depressive disorder (a mental
health disorder characterized by a persistently low or depressed mood, decreased interest in pleasurable
activities, feelings of worthlessness, lack of energy, poor concentration, appetite changes, sleep
disturbances, or suicidal thoughts).
A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-a federally mandated standardized
assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated November 6, 2024, revealed that
Resident 9 BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status-a tool to assess cognitive function) is coded as 99 (a
score of 99 indicates that the resident was unable to provide or did not provide answers to complete this
section). The assessment indicated Resident 9's cognitive skills for daily decision-making are severely
impaired.
Further review of the clinical record revealed a physician order for Resident 9 to receive morphine sulfate
(concentrate) oral solution 20 mg/ml with direction to give 0.25 ml by mouth every three hours as needed
for pain initiated on December 22, 2022.
An additional physician's order indicating to administer as needed a dose of morphine. 0.25 ml every three
hours as needed. Thursdays prior to bath initiated on December 22, 2022.
A medication administration record dated November 2024 revealed Resident 9 was administered morphine
sulfate (concentrate) oral solution 20 mg/ml on the following dates:
November 7, 2024, at 5:57 PM for a pain level of 0 out of 10
November 21, 2024, at 4:11 PM for a pain level of 0 out of 10
During an interview on November 27, 2024, at approximately 1:00 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was
unable to provide documented evidence for the clinical rationale for Resident 9 to receive Morphine Sulfate
(concentrate) oral solution 20 mg/ml on November 7, 2024, or November 21, 2024. The DON confirmed
that Resident 9 was administered morphine sulfate (concentrate) oral solution 20 mg/ml twice in November
with a pain level of zero out of 10. The DON confirmed that it is the facility's responsibility to adequately
indicate the need for an opioid pain medication.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure adherence to
medication expiration/use by dates on one of six medication carts (A2/Cart E even) and failed to ensure
biologicals were properly dated when opened and available for use for one of 21 residents reviewed.
(Resident 14).
Findings include:
A review of manufacturer instructions for storage of Lantus Solostar Insulin Pen revealed that the pen
should be stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Once the insulin pen is taken out of refrigerator for
use, it may be used for up to 28 days.
Observation of the medication cart on A2 identified as Cart E even, on September 12, 2024, at 9:08 a.m.,
in the presence of Employee 4, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) revealed two opened Lantus insulin
pen(medication to treat diabetes) in individual pharmacy labeled bags. Further review of the insulin pens
revealed that neither pen was dated when opened or had an expiration/use by date indicated on the
packaging.
Additional observation of the undated insulin pens revealed that each individual plastic bag was labeled for
Resident 72. A Lantus insulin pen identified for another resident was found in one of Resident 72's
pharmacy labeled insulin pen plastic storage bag.
Employee 4 confirmed the insulin pens were not dated when opened or had an expiration/use by date
identified. Employee 4 further confirmed the insulin pens were not stored accordingly as evidenced by
another resident's insulin pen being stored in Resident 72's pharmacy labeled packaging.
During an interview with the DON (Director of Nursing) on September 13, 2024, at approximately 1:30 PM it
was confirmed the insulin pens should have been dated when opened and put into use, to ensure the
medication did not exceed the expiration/use by date.
Clinical record review revealed Resident 14 was admitted to the facility May 27, 2016, with diagnoses which
included Multiple Sclerosis, peripheral vascular disease, and heart disease and had an unstageable
pressure ulcer on his right gluteus.
A review of current physician orders revealed an order dated September 6, 2024, to cleanse the
wound with NSS (normal saline solution), pat dry, apply Santyl ointment (ointment used to remove
damaged tissue) to wound base, cover with ABD (absorbent dressing) pad daily.
Observation of Resident 14's room on September 10, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. revealed an opened, undated
500 mL bottle of normal saline solution containing approximately 200 mL on the resident's nightstand.
Repeat observation on September 12, 2024, at 9:35 a.m. revealed that same opened, undated 500 mL

Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop
corrective plans of action.
Based on a review of the facility's plan of correction from the survey ending September 13, 2024, the
results of the current revisit survey on November 27, 2024, observation, and staff interviews it was
determined the facility's Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee failed to correct
quality deficiencies and identify ongoing deficient practices related to storage and use by dates of multi-use
medications and controlled substance accountability.
Findings include:
As a result of the deficiencies cited under the requirements related to the acceptable storage and use by
dates of multi-use medications, and pharmacy procedures to promote accurate controlled medication
records during the survey of September 13, 2024, the facility developed a plan of correction to serve as
their allegation of compliance, which included a quality assurance monitoring component to ensure
solutions were sustained. The corrective plan was to be completed and functional by October 31, 2024.
However, during the survey ending November 27, 2024, continuing deficient facility practice was identified
with these same requirements.
According to the facility's plan of correction for the deficiency cited on September 13, 2024, relating to
implementation and adherence to procedures to ensure acceptable storage and use by dates for multi-dose
medications, procedures implemented to ensure deficient practice was corrected included (1) pharmacy
replacing insulin pens for Resident 14 and assured that each pen is in its own resident specific labeled bag
and properly dated when opened/expires, (2) all remaining carts audited for correct storage and labeling of
medications,
(3) random audits of medication carts to monitor labeling and storage will be done weekly x 4 weeks and
then monthly to monitor compliance, and (4) audits will be reviewed at QAPI to assess need for revision,
increased education, and/or continuation.
The results of the revisit survey conducted on November 27, 2024, revealed that the facility's QAPI
committee failed to successfully implement their plan to ensure multi-use medications were audited for
correct storage and labeling.
According to the facility's plan of correction for the deficiency cited on September 13, 2024, relating to
accountability of controlled medication records, procedures implemented to ensure deficient practice was
corrected included (1) medication count for the controlled substances in the A2 Even cart verified as
correct. Narcotic sheet for A2 Even cart audited and nurses contacted/re-educated on handling of
controlled substance, (2) all licensed nursing staff educated on handling of controlled substances policy
and procedure, (3) random audits of narcotic count shift to shift sign off sheets will be done weekly x 4
weeks and then monthly to monitor compliance, (4) audits will be reviewed at QAPI to assess need for
revision, increased education, and/or continuation.
The results of the revisit survey conducted on November 27, 2024, cited under, revealed the facility's QAPI
committee failed to successfully implement their plan to ensure that controlled medications were accounted
for.
