Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that
residents are free of significant medication errors for one of four residents reviewed (Resident 4).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 4 revealed nursing documentation dated October 26, 2024, at 1:38 PM,
noting Employee 1 (licensed practical nurse) went into the resident room to administer medications to
Resident 3 in bed A. Documentation revealed Resident 3 was being assisted to the bathroom by staff.
Documentation further noted Employee 1 put Resident 3's medications on her bedside table when Resident
4 (resident in bed B) requested a pain pill, and she left the room to obtain the pain medication from the
medication cart. When Employee 1 returned with the pain medication, Resident 4 had ingested the
medications she put on Resident 3's bedside dresser. The registered nurse notified the on call provider and
received a new order to check vital signs every shift for 24 hours.
Nursing documentation dated October 26, 2024, at 3:52 PM noted the registered nurse supervisor was
notified of Resident 4's most recent blood pressure reading of 74/34 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). The
registered nurse was in the room and took a manual blood pressure with systolic (pressure in the arteries
when the heart beats) pressure of 76 and she was unable to hear diastolic (pressure in the arteries when
the heart is at rest between beats). Documentation revealed the on-call provider was notified immediately
and the facility received a new order to send Resident 4 to the emergency department for further
evaluation.
Review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (an assessment completed at specific intervals to determine
resident care needs) dated October 24, 2024, noted staff assessed Resident 4 as independent in his
wheelchair. The assessment indicated that Resident 4's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status, which
indicates cognition) score was 15, which indicated he was cognitively intact.
Review of facility documentation revealed Resident 4 took the following medications in error:
Amlodipine (medication to treat high blood pressure) 10 milligram (mg), one tablet
Ferrous Sulfate (iron supplement) 325 mg, one tablet
Lisinopril (medication used to treat high blood pressure) 20 mg, two tablets
Magnesium Oxide (medication to treat heart burn) 400 mg, one tablet

Review of hospital documentation dated October 26, 2024, revealed Resident 4 presented to the
emergency department for hypotension (low blood pressure) and altered mental state secondary to
accidental medication administration. Resident 4 was treated with intravenous fluids and observed in the
emergency department for four hours.
Further review of Resident 4's clinical record revealed nursing documentation dated October 27, 2024, at
12:29 AM noting Resident 4 was hypotensive again so on call provider was called and ordered intravenous
fluids. Attempts to gain intravenous access was unsuccessful, and Resident 4's blood pressure was
rechecked and was 104/59 mmHg. The physician was notified and ordered a subcutaneous button (a small
needle inserted into the fatty tissue beneath the skin) access for fluids. Documentation revealed access
was obtained and fluids running.
During an interview with Employee 1 on October 30, 2024, at 12:05 PM confirmed she left Resident 3's
medications unattended on her bedside table while Resident 3 was in the bathroom. Employee 1 stated she
left the room to obtain a pain pill for Resident 4 and when she reentered the room, she noticed that
Resident 4 had taken all Resident 3's medications. Employee 1 confirmed Resident 4 is independent in his
wheelchair and able to wheel himself in the room.
The facility failed to ensure that Resident 4 was free of a significant medication error.
