**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, clinical record reviews and interviews with staff, it was determined that the facility
failed to establish a baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission/readmission for three of five residents
(Resident R301, R307 and R312).
Findings include:

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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, observations, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to make
certain that medications and medication supplies were properly stored and/or disposed of in one of three
medication rooms (Second-floor medication room) and two of seven medication carts (Second-floor
medication cart for rooms 211-225 and Second-floor medication cart for rooms 241-255).
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy Storage and Expiration Dating of Medications, Biologicals dated [DATE],
indicated:
-Facility should ensure that all medications and biologicals, including treatment items, are securely stored in
a locked cabinet/cart or locked medication room that is inaccessible by resident and visitors.
-Facility should ensure that medications and biologicals that: (1) have an expired date on the label; (2) have
been retained longer than recommended by manufacturer or supplier guidelines; or (3) have been
contaminated or deteriorated, are stored separately from other medications until destroyed or returned to
the pharmacy or supplier.
-Facility staff may record the calculated expiration date based on the date opened on the pharmacy
medication container.
-If a multidose vial of an injectable medication has been opened or accessed (e.g., needle-punctured), the
vial should be dated and discarded within 28 days unless the manufacturer specifies a different (shorter or
longer) date for that open vile.
-When an ophthalmic solution or suspension has a manufacturer shortened beyond use date once opened,
facility staff should record the date opened and the date to expire on the container.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
facility policy, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to make
certain that a pneumococcal immunization was offered to two of five residents (Resident R101 and R119).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy Pneumococcal Vaccination dated 1/18/24, indicated the facility will provide the
opportunity to receive the appropriate pneumococcal vaccine to all patients/residents. The policy further
stated the facility will offer the PCV20 (pneumococcal conjugate) vaccine to adults 19-[AGE] years of age
with underlying medical conditions.
Review of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) document, Pneumococcal Vaccination: Summary of Who
and When to Vaccinate last reviewed 1/24/22, indicated that CDC recommends pneumococcal vaccination
for all adults 65 years or older, and for adults 19 through [AGE] years old who have certain chronic medical
conditions or other risk factors. Included in this list were: alcoholism, chronic liver disease, chronic lung
disease, chronic renal failure, cigarette smoking, diabetes, and heart failure.
Review of the admission Record indicated that Resident R101 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Minimum Data Set (MDS-periodic assessment of care needs) dated 3/28/24, included diagnoses
of a chronic osteomyelitis (inflammation of bone or bone marrow, usually due to infection), high blood
pressure, and chronic kidney disease (gradual loss of kidney function). Section O0300 Pneumococcal
Vaccine indicated Resident R101 was not offered the pneumonia vaccine.
Review of the clinical record failed to include documentation of education provided to Resident R101 and/or
their representative of the risks and benefits of the pneumonia vaccination.
Review of the admission Record indicated that Resident R119 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. At the
time of the survey, Resident R119 was less than [AGE] years old.
Review of MDS dated [DATE], included diagnoses of a coronary artery disease (damage or disease in the
heart's major blood vessels), hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body), and history of a stroke.
Section O0300 Pneumococcal Vaccine indicated Resident R101 was not offered the pneumonia vaccine.
Review of the clinical record failed to include documentation of Resident R119 being offered the pneumonia
vaccination.
