Based on clinical record review, staff interview, and observations, it was determined that the facility failed to implement physicians' orders for two of 12 sampled residents. (Residents 4 and 159)
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include: In an interview on June 26, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., the Director of Nursing stated that once a medication is administered, it should be recorded onto the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR). If a dose of regularly scheduled medication is withheld, refused, or given at an other time other than what is scheduled, the reason should be documented on the MAR. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 4 had diagnosis of hypertension (high blood pressure). On June 11, 2025, the physician ordered staff to administer a blood pressure medication (hydralazine hydrochloride) three times a day. Staff was not to administer the medication if the resident's systolic blood pressure (SBP, the first measurement of blood pressure when the heart beats and the pressure is at its highest) was less than 100 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Review of Resident 4's MAR for June 2025, revealed that staff administered the medication on June 19, 2025, when the SBP was less than 100 mmHg. On June 17 and 25, 2025, there was no documented evidence that the medication was offered to Resident 4 at 2:00 p.m., as scheduled. On June 12, 2025, the physician ordered staff to administer a blood pressure medication (amlodipine besylate) one time a day. Staff was not to administer the medication if the resident's SBP was less than 110 mmHg. Review of Resident 4's MAR for June 2025, revealed that staff administered the medication on June 21, 2025, when the SBP was less than 110 mmHg. On June 12, 2025, the physician ordered staff to administer a blood pressure medication (lisinopril) one time a day. Staff was not to administer the medication if the resident's SBP was less than 110 mmHg. Review of Resident 4's MAR for June 2025, revealed that staff administered the medication on June 21, 2025, when the SBP was less than 110 mmHg. On June 12, 2025, the physician ordered staff to administer a blood pressure medication (metoprolol) one time a day. Staff was not to administer the medication if the resident's heart rate (the number of times a heart beats in one minute) was less than 60. Review of Resident 4's June 2025 MAR revealed that staff administered the medication on June 15, 2025, when the resident's heart rate was less than 60. In an interview on June 26, 2025, at 10:02 a.m., the Director on Nursing confirmed that the medications were administered outside of established parameters and that staff should have documented on the MAR when the medication was offered to the resident. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 159 had diagnoses that included a history of traumatic brain injury and left elbow contracture. A physician's order dated June 23, 2025, directed staff to keep a left palm guard with finger separators in place on the resident's left hand at all times except for removal for hygiene tasks and skin checks every shift. Review of Resident 159's June 2025 MAR revealed that the palm guard was not in place on June 23 and 24, 2025. Observations of the resident's left hand on June 24, 2025, at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and on June 25, 2025, at 11:09 a.m., revealed that the left palm guard was in place, but his fingers on the left hand were contracted and were overlapping one another. The finger separators were not in place. In an interview on June 26, 2025, at 1:51 p.m., the Administrator confirmed that the finger separators should have been in place, per the physician's order.
