Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, clinical record review, review of facility documentation and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to adhere to acceptable standards of nursing practice related to
medication administration for three of six residents observed during medication administration (Residents
R13, R83, R88). The Pennsylvania Code, Title 49, Professional and Vocational Standards, State Board of
Nursing, 21.11(b), General Functions of the Registered Nurse (RN), and 21.14(a), Administration of Drugs,
indicated that the RN is fully responsible for all actions as a licensed nurse and is accountable to patients
for the quality of care delivered, and administers medication ordered for the patient in the dosage and
manner prescribed. The Pennsylvania Code, Title 49, Professional and Vocational Standards, State Board
of Nursing, 21.145(a)(b), Functions of the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), indicated that the LPN functions
as a member of the health-care team by exercising sound nursing judgement based on preparation,
knowledge, experience in nursing and competency, and administers medication ordered for the patient.On
February 2, 2026, at 9:53 a.m., observed that Employee E12, a Licensed Nurse, decanted Colace
(Docusate) 100MG, two capsules; and Aspirin Chewable 81MG, one tablet for Resident R13. E12 crushed
the Aspirin Chewable 81MG tablet in a plastic pouch. E12 opened the Colace (Docusate) capsules and
poured the medication into a dispenser- cup. E12 poured the crushed Aspirin Chewable 81MG tablet into
the same dispenser cup which had the Colace medication. E12 mixed all the medications with one and half
teaspoon of apple sauce and administered half of the mixture to R13 by mouth; and quickly discarded the
remaining medications in the dispenser-cup, by throwing it away into the trash can, in R13's room, before
being prevented from discarding the half quantity of the medications for R 13.On February 2, 2026, at 9:59
a.m., observed that Employee E12, the Licensed Nurse, decanted Aspirin Chewable tablet 81MG, one
tablet; Sertraline HCl tablet 25 MG, three tablets; and Losartan Potassium tablet 100 MG, one tablet. E12
crushed all the medications in a plastic pouch and poured the medications into a plastic dispenser cup and
mixed all with one and a half teaspoon of Apple sauce.E12 administered, half of the mixture to R83 by
mouth; and initiated to throw away the remaining medications into the trash can in R83's room, but
immediately being prevented from discarding the remaining medications, and enquired why did E12 want to
discard half the quantity of medications without administering it to R 83; then only E12 did administer the
remaining medications to R83.On February 2, 2026, at 10:07 a.m., reviewed the physician order for R13. It
revealed an order dated August 30, 2018, to administer Aspirin Chewable tablet 81MG, one tablet. Review
of physician order indicated an order dated August 7, 2024, to administer Colace (Docusate) 100MG, two
capsules, do not crush or open Colace (Docusate) capsules, switch to tablets if crushing is
needed.Reviewed literature, and it indicated as follows:Opening the Docusate Sodium capsule is not
recommended due to the potential for throat irritation and the medication's unpleasant taste. Additionally,
altering the capsule's form could affect the medication's absorption and efficacy. If the physician has
ordered not to open the Colace Capsule, the nurse should follow this instruction to ensure patient safety
and medication effectiveness. If the nurse intends to crush the Docusate use tablet form, they should
consult with a healthcare provider for guidance on safe usage and potential alternatives.Administering only
half the quantity of Docusate sodium to a patient can lead to insufficient stool softening, resulting in harder
stools that may cause straining or fecal impaction. The medication's primary function is to soften stool,
making it easier to pass, and if not enough is administered, it may not achieve the desired effect, potentially
causing discomfort and complications. Therefore, it is crucial for nurses to ensure that the correct dosage is
administered to prevent these consequences.Administering only half the quantity of Aspirin 81 can lead to
reduced effectiveness in preventing

heart attacks and strokes. Aspirin works by reducing blood clot formation, and a lower dose may not
provide the same protective benefits. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the correct dosage is
administered to avoid adverse effects and maintain the medication's therapeutic efficacy.At the time the
finding the same was confirmed with E12.On February 2, 2026, at 10:11 a.m., reviewed the physician order
for R83. It revealed an order dated March 18, 2025 to administer by mouth Aspirin Chewable tablet 81MG,
one tablet, related to Cerebral Infraction; an order dated March 4, 2025, to administer by mouth, Sertraline
HCl tablet 25 MG, three tablets, for Major Depressive Disorder; and an order dated May 8, 2023, to
administer by mouth, Losartan Potassium tablet 100 MG, one tablet, related to Hypertension.Reviewed
literature, and it indicated as follows:Administering only half the quantity of Aspirin 81 can lead to increased
risk of bleeding and reduced effectiveness in preventing heart attacks and strokes. Aspirin works by
reducing blood clot formation, and a lower dose may not provide the same protective benefits. Therefore, it
is crucial to ensure that the correct dosage is administered to avoid adverse effects and maintain the
medication's therapeutic efficacy.Administering only half the quantity of Sertraline HCl can lead to
inadequate treatment of symptoms, such as depression or anxiety. It can also cause increased risk of side
effects, including gastrointestinal issues, sleep disturbances, and mood changes. It is crucial for healthcare
providers to ensure that patients receive the appropriate dosage of their medications to avoid these
consequences.Administering only half the prescribed dosage of losartan can lead to ineffective
antihypertensive treatment, which may result in high blood pressure and increase the risk of stroke. The
reason for this consequence is that losartan is a first-line treatment for hypertension, and its effectiveness is
directly related to the dosage. Administering a lower dose than prescribed can compromise the
medication's ability to lower blood pressure effectively, potentially leading to serious health risks.At the time
the finding the same was confirmed with E12.On February 3, 2026, at 8:20 a.m., reviewed the physician
order for R88.The physician order dated January 21, 2026, indicated an order to administer Insulin Aspart
Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Aspart), Inject 15 unit subcutaneously with meals related to Type 2
Diabetes Mellitus Without Complications; administer within 15 minutes of meals. The physician order dated
August 30, 2025, indicated to administer Insulin Aspart Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Aspart),
Inject as per sliding scale: if 150 - 200 = 2 units; 201 - 250 = 4 units; 251 - 300 = 6 units; 301 - 350 = 8
units; 351 - 400 = 10 units, subcutaneously with meals for Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM),
administer within 15 minutes of meals.On February 3, 2026, at 8:27 a.m., observed that E13, a Licensed
Nurse checked the Blood Sugar (BS) level of R88, and the BS was 218. E13 stated that R88 would get 15
units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution, and additionally per the sliding scale order, four units of Insulin
Aspart Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML totaling 19 units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution. On February 3,
2026, at 8:29 a.m., observed that E13 drew Insulin Aspart Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML. E13 was going
to inject the drawn Insulin Aspart Injection Solution to R88, but prevented before injecting it, requested E13
to recheck how many units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution were drawn in the syringe. E13 rechecked
the syringe and found that only 16 units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution was drawn in the syringe
instead of the ordered 19 units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution. Then, E13 redrew additional 3 units of
Insulin Aspart Injection Solution to make the total drawn unit of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution as 19
units.On February 3, 2026, at 8:31 a.m., reviewed literature and it indicated that underdosing Insulin Aspart
(administering 16 units instead of the ordered 19 units) primarily results in hyperglycemia (high blood
sugar), because the patient is receiving less fast-acting medication than needed to manage their glucose
levels, particularly around mealtimes. And it may cause increased thirst, frequent

Review of information dated January 12, 2026, submitted by the facility revealed the resident R 71s
daughter alleged that the resident's right lower extremity wound care was not completed as ordered and
that the resident did not receive consistent assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).
Review of the resident R71's physician wound care orders revealed an order to cleanse the right lateral
shin wound with normal saline solution (NSS), apply calcium alginate, and cover with bordered gauze, to be
completed every evening shift.
Review of the facility's investigation revealed that during an interview conducted on January 14, 2026, a
licensed nurse admitted she documented completion of wound care for the resident's right lower extremity
on January 13, 2026, during the 3:00 PM–11:00 PM shift but did not perform the wound care.
Personnel documentation of licensed nurse employee E10 revealed the licensed nurse received discipline
action of a verbal warning on January 14, 2026, for documenting completion of a treatment that was not
performed. The warning was acknowledged and signed by both the employee and the Director of Nursing.
Further review of the facility's investigation concluded the allegation of neglect was unsubstantiated, stating
the resident missed one day of wound care due to nurse error, and that no negative outcome was
identified.
During an interview conducted on February 2, 2026, at 10:40 AM, the resident stated that her wound care
had been missed on multiple occasions and was not performed consistently. The resident stated she
reported the issue to nursing staff and administration, and the issue continued. The resident further stated
wound care was typically completed during the evening shift.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, review of clinical records, and interviews with facility staff, it was determined that
the facility failed to ensure that it was free of medication error rate of five percent or greater for three of six
residents observed during medication administration (Resident R13, R83, R88).On February 2, 2026, at
9:53 a.m., observed that Employee E12, a Licensed Nurse, decanted Colace (Docusate) 100MG, two
capsules; and Aspirin Chewable 81MG, one tablet for Resident R13. E12 crushed the Aspirin Chewable
81MG tablet in a plastic pouch. E12 opened the Colace (Docusate) capsules and poured the medication
into a dispenser- cup. E12 poured the crushed Aspirin Chewable 81MG tablet into the same dispenser cup
which had the Colace medication. E12 mixed all the medications with one and half teaspoon of apple sauce
and administered half of the mixture to R13 by mouth; and quickly discarded the remaining medications in
the dispenser-cup, by throwing it away into the trash can, in R13's room, before being prevented from
discarding the half quantity of the medications for R 13.On February 2, 2026, at 9:59 a.m., observed that
Employee E12, the Licensed Nurse, decanted Aspirin Chewable tablet 81MG, one tablet; Sertraline HCl
tablet 25 MG, three tablets; and Losartan Potassium tablet 100 MG, one tablet. E12 crushed all the
medications in a plastic pouch and poured the medications into a plastic dispenser cup and mixed all with
one and a half teaspoon of Apple sauce.E12 administered, half of the mixture to R83 by mouth; and
initiated to throw away the remaining medications into the trash can in R83's room, but immediately being
prevented from discarding the remaining medications, and enquired why did E12 want to discard half the
quantity of medications without administering it to R 83; then only E12 did administer the remaining
medications to R83.On February 2, 2026, at 10:07 a.m., reviewed the physician order for R13. It revealed
an order dated August 30, 2018, to administer Aspirin Chewable tablet 81MG, one tablet. Review of
physician order indicated an order dated August 7, 2024, to administer Colace (Docusate) 100MG, two
capsules, do not crush or open Colace (Docusate) capsules, switch to tablets if crushing is
needed.Reviewed literature, and it indicated as follows:Opening the Docusate Sodium capsule is not
recommended due to the potential for throat irritation and the medication's unpleasant taste. Additionally,
altering the capsule's form could affect the medication's absorption and efficacy. If the physician has
ordered not to open the Colace Capsule, the nurse should follow this instruction to ensure patient safety
and medication effectiveness. If the nurse intends to crush the Docusate use tablet form, they should
consult with a healthcare provider for guidance on safe usage and potential alternatives.Administering only
half the quantity of Docusate sodium to a patient can lead to insufficient stool softening, resulting in harder
stools that may cause straining or fecal impaction. The medication's primary function is to soften stool,
making it easier to pass, and if not enough is administered, it may not achieve the desired effect, potentially
causing discomfort and complications. Therefore, it is crucial for nurses to ensure that the correct dosage is
administered to prevent these consequences.Administering only half the quantity of Aspirin 81 can lead to
reduced effectiveness in preventing heart attacks and strokes. Aspirin works by reducing blood clot
formation, and a lower dose may not provide the same protective benefits. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure
that the correct dosage is administered to avoid adverse effects and maintain the medication's therapeutic
efficacy.At the time the finding the same was confirmed with E12.On February 2, 2026, at 10:11 a.m.,
reviewed the physician order for R83. It revealed an order dated March 18, 2025 to administer by mouth
Aspirin Chewable tablet 81MG, one tablet, related to Cerebral Infraction; an order dated March 4, 2025, to
administer by mouth, Sertraline HCl tablet 25 MG, three tablets, for Major Depressive Disorder; and an
order dated May 8, 2023, to administer by mouth, Losartan Potassium tablet 100 MG, one tablet, related to
Hypertension.Reviewed literature, and it indicated as

follows:Administering only half the quantity of Aspirin 81 can lead to increased risk of bleeding and reduced
effectiveness in preventing heart attacks and strokes. Aspirin works by reducing blood clot formation, and a
lower dose may not provide the same protective benefits. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the correct
dosage is administered to avoid adverse effects and maintain the medication's therapeutic
efficacy.Administering only half the quantity of Sertraline HCl can lead to inadequate treatment of
symptoms, such as depression or anxiety. It can also cause increased risk of side effects, including
gastrointestinal issues, sleep disturbances, and mood changes. It is crucial for healthcare providers to
ensure that patients receive the appropriate dosage of their medications to avoid these consequences.
Administering only half the prescribed dosage of losartan can lead to ineffective antihypertensive treatment,
which may result in high blood pressure and increase the risk of stroke. The reason for this consequence is
that losartan is a first-line treatment for hypertension, and its effectiveness is directly related to the dosage.
Administering a lower dose than prescribed can compromise the medication's ability to lower blood
pressure effectively, potentially leading to serious health risks.At the time the finding the same was
confirmed with E12.On February 3, 2026, at 8:20 a.m., reviewed the physician order for R88.The physician
order dated January 21, 2026, indicated an order to administer Insulin Aspart Injection Solution 100
UNIT/ML (Insulin Aspart), Inject 15 unit subcutaneously with meals related to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Without Complications; administer within 15 minutes of meals. The physician order dated August 30, 2025,
indicated to administer Insulin Aspart Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Aspart), Inject as per sliding
scale: if 150 - 200 = 2 units; 201 - 250 = 4 units; 251 - 300 = 6 units; 301 - 350 = 8 units; 351 - 400 = 10
units, subcutaneously with meals for Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM), administer within 15
minutes of meals.On February 3, 2026, at 8:27 a.m., observed that E13, a Licensed Nurse checked the
Blood Sugar (BS) level of R88, and the BS was 218. E13 stated that R88 would get 15 units of Insulin
Aspart Injection Solution, and additionally per the sliding scale order, four units of Insulin Aspart Injection
Solution 100 UNIT/ML totaling 19 units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution. On February 3, 2026, at 8:29
a.m., observed that E13 drew Insulin Aspart Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML. E13 was going to inject the
drawn Insulin Aspart Injection Solution to R88, but prevented before injecting it, requested E13 to recheck
how many units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution were drawn in the syringe. E13 rechecked the syringe
and found that only 16 units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution was drawn in the syringe instead of the
ordered 19 units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution. Then, E13 redrew additional 3 units of Insulin Aspart
Injection Solution to make the total drawn unit of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution as 19 units.On February
3, 2026, at 8:31 a.m., reviewed literature and it indicated that underdosing Insulin Aspart (administering 16
units instead of the ordered 19 units) primarily results in hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), because the
patient is receiving less fast-acting medication than needed to manage their glucose levels, particularly
around mealtimes. And it may cause increased thirst, frequent urination, headache, blurry vision, fatigue,
and drowsiness etc.At the time of the finding the same was confirmed with E13.The facility incurred a
medication error rate of 21.43%.Pa Code:211.12(d)(1)(2)(5) Nursing Services.

half of the mixture to R83 by mouth; and initiated to throw away the remaining medications into the trash
can in R83's room, but immediately being prevented from discarding the remaining medications, and
enquired why did E12 want to discard half the quantity of medications without administering it to R 83; then
only E12 did administer the remaining medications to R83.
On February 2, 2026, at 10:07 a.m., reviewed the physician order for R13. It revealed an order dated
August 30, 2018, to administer Aspirin Chewable tablet 81MG, one tablet. Review of physician order
indicated an order dated August 7, 2024, to administer Colace (Docusate) 100MG, two capsules, do not
crush or open Colace (Docusate) capsules, switch to tablets if crushing is needed.
Reviewed literature, and it indicated as follows:
Opening the Docusate Sodium capsule is not recommended due to the potential for throat irritation and the
medication's unpleasant taste. Additionally, altering the capsule's form could affect the medication's
absorption and efficacy. If the physician has ordered not to open the Colace Capsule, the nurse should
follow this instruction to ensure patient safety and medication effectiveness. If the nurse intends to crush the
Docusate use tablet form, they should consult with a healthcare provider for guidance on safe usage and
potential alternatives.
Administering only half the quantity of Docusate sodium to a patient can lead to insufficient stool softening,
resulting in harder stools that may cause straining or fecal impaction. The medication's

primary function is to soften stool, making it easier to pass, and if not enough is administered, it may not
achieve the desired effect, potentially causing discomfort and complications. Therefore, it is crucial for
nurses to ensure that the correct dosage is administered to prevent these consequences.
Administering only half the quantity of Aspirin 81 can lead to reduced effectiveness in preventing heart
attacks and strokes. Aspirin works by reducing blood clot formation, and a lower dose may not provide the
same protective benefits. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the correct dosage is administered to avoid
adverse effects and maintain the medication's therapeutic efficacy.
At the time the finding the same was confirmed with E12.
On February 2, 2026, at 10:11 a.m., reviewed the physician order for R83. It revealed an order dated March
18, 2025 to administer by mouth Aspirin Chewable tablet 81MG, one tablet, related to Cerebral Infraction;
an order dated March 4, 2025, to administer by mouth, Sertraline HCl tablet 25 MG, three tablets, for Major
Depressive Disorder; and an order dated May 8, 2023, to administer by mouth, Losartan Potassium tablet
100 MG, one tablet, related to Hypertension.
Reviewed literature, and it indicated as follows:
Administering only half the quantity of Aspirin 81 can lead to increased risk of bleeding and reduced
effectiveness in preventing heart attacks and strokes. Aspirin works by reducing blood clot formation, and a
lower dose may not provide the same protective benefits. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the correct
dosage is administered to avoid adverse effects and maintain the medication's therapeutic efficacy.
Administering only half the quantity of Sertraline HCl can lead to inadequate treatment of symptoms, such
as depression or anxiety. It can also cause increased risk of side effects, including gastrointestinal issues,
sleep disturbances, and mood changes. It is crucial for healthcare providers to ensure that patients receive
the appropriate dosage of their medications to avoid these consequences.
Administering only half the prescribed dosage of losartan can lead to ineffective antihypertensive treatment,
which may result in high blood pressure and increase the risk of stroke. The reason for this consequence is
that losartan is a first-line treatment for hypertension, and its effectiveness is directly related to the dosage.
Administering a lower dose than prescribed can compromise the medication's ability to lower blood
pressure effectively, potentially leading to serious health risks.
At the time the finding the same was confirmed with E12.
On February 3, 2026, at 8:20 a.m., reviewed the physician order for R88.
The physician order dated January 21, 2026, indicated an order to administer Insulin Aspart Injection
Solution 100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Aspart), Inject 15 unit subcutaneously with meals related to Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus Without Complications; administer within 15 minutes of meals. The physician order dated August
30, 2025, indicated to administer Insulin Aspart Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Aspart), Inject as
per sliding scale: if 150 - 200 = 2 units; 201 - 250 = 4 units; 251 - 300 = 6 units; 301 - 350 = 8 units; 351 400 = 10 units, subcutaneously with meals for Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM), administer
within 15 minutes of meals.

On February 3, 2026, at 8:27 a.m., observed that E13, a Licensed Nurse checked the Blood Sugar (BS)
level of R88, and the BS was 218. E13 stated that R88 would get 15 units of Insulin Aspart Injection
Solution, and additionally per the sliding scale order, four units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution 100
UNIT/ML totaling 19 units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution.
On February 3, 2026, at 8:29 a.m., observed that E13 drew Insulin Aspart Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML.
E13 was going to inject the drawn Insulin Aspart Injection Solution to R88, but prevented before injecting it,
requested E13 to recheck how many units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution were drawn in the syringe.
E13 rechecked the syringe and found that only 16 units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution was drawn in the
syringe instead of the ordered 19 units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution. Then, E13 redrew additional 3
units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution to make the total drawn unit of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution as
19 units.
On February 3, 2026, at 8:31 a.m., reviewed literature and it indicated that underdosing Insulin Aspart
(administering 16 units instead of the ordered 19 units) primarily results in hyperglycemia (high blood
sugar), because the patient is receiving less fast-acting medication than needed to manage their glucose
levels, particularly around mealtimes. And it may cause increased thirst, frequent urination, headache,
blurry vision, fatigue, and drowsiness etc.
At the time of the finding the same was confirmed with E13.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, review of facility policy and procedure and interviews with staff, it was determined that the
facility failed to maintain an effective infection control program related to hand hygiene, on one of the six
Medication Administration Reviews, and Enhanced Barrier Precautions on one of the one Wound Treatment
Observations.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident R3's Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS), a federally mandated assessment tool for all
residents, dated November 23, 2025, revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Diagnoses included peripheral vascular disease (PVD), a condition involving narrowing of the blood vessels
that reduces blood flow to the limbs; diabetes mellitus, a chronic condition affecting how the body
processes blood glucose; and a Stage IV pressure ulcer of the sacral region, indicating full-thickness tissue
loss with extensive tissue destruction over the tailbone area.
Observation of wound care being performed on Resident R3 on February 4, 2026, at approximately 4:45
p.m., revealed that Licensed Nurse Employee E8, assisted by Nursing Assistant Employee E9, provided
wound care to the resident's sacral region. The wound care included cleansing the wound with appropriate
solution, applying dressings to maintain a moist wound environment, and ensuring the area was protected
from further injury and potential bacterial contamination. During the procedure, licensed nurse employee E8
and nursing aid Employee E9 were observed wearing gloves; neither staff member wore the required
enhanced barrier precaution gown in accordance with facility policy and infection control standards.
Interview conducted on February 4, 2026, following the observation, licensed nurse Employee E8, and
nursing aid employee E9, both acknowledged that an enhanced barrier precaution gown should have been
worn during the wound care procedure.
