Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) Users Manual, clinical record review, and
staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to timely complete a quarterly Minimum Data Set
(MDS) assessment for one of 28 sampled residents. (Resident 119)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The Long-Term Care Facility RAI User's Manual, which provides instructions and guidelines for completing
required MDS assessments (mandated assessments of a resident's abilities and care needs), revised
October 2023, indicates that quarterly assessments must be no more than 92 days after the Assessment
Reference Date (ARD) of the most recent assessment, and the assessment was to have a completion date
that was no later than the ARD plus 14 calendar days.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 119 had a quarterly MDS assessment completed on February
18, 2024. There was no evidence that any MDS assessment, including a quarterly assessment, had been
completed until August 16, 2024.
In an interview on October 8, 2024, at 11:21 a.m., the Director of Nursing stated that the MDS quarterly
assessment had not been completed in a timely manner as required by the RAI manual.

Based on observation, clinical record review, and review of manufacturer's drug usage recommendations, it
was determined that the facility failed to maintain a medication error rate of less than five percent (%) for
two of four residents observed on medication administration. (Residents 28, 47)

instructions for use of the inhaler revealed that users of the inhaler were to rinse their mouth with water
after inhalation to help reduce the risk of developing an infection in the mouth or throat. Observation of the
medication pass on October 6, 2024, at 9:40 a.m., revealed that Resident 28 was not directed to rinse her
mouth after using the inhaler.

breath. A review of physician's order dated February 5, 2024, revealed that staff were to administer one puff
of a fluticasone furoate (Arnuity Ellipta) inhaler. A review of the manufacturer's prescribing information
revealed that users were to rinse their mouth with water after using the inhaler to help reduce the chance of
getting an infection in the mouth or throat. Observation of the medication pass on October 6, 2024, at 9:50
a.m., revealed that Resident 47 was not directed to rinse her mouth after using the inhaler.
