Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy and records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide
adequate supervision that resulted in an resident elopement resident exits to an unsupervised or
unauthorized area without the facility's knowledge) for one of three residents reviewed (Resident R64). This
was identified as past non-compliance for one resident (Resident R64).
Findings include:
A review of the facility policy Elopement, reviewed 9/27/23, indicated the residents are assessed upon
admission, quarterly, and change in condition by staff members to determine if they are at risk for
elopement. The following may be used for residents identified as high risk for elopement: frequent
monitoring of resident ' s whereabouts, individual to maintain interest level, environmental controls such as
secure units with appropriate Code Alert device, alarmed doors, and restricted window openings.
A review of the facility document Code Alert Procedure for the Secured Unit (Second Floor) reviewed
9/27/23, indicated the elevator on the second floor is equipped with an electronic system that will prevent a
resident with a special alert bracelet (code alert) from exiting the unit via elevator. When a resident with the
code alert bracelet appears in proximity to the elevator, the elevator will not close the doors unless a special
code is entered into the keypad next to the elevator.
The Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual, which provides
instructions and guidelines for completing required Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments (mandated
assessments of a resident's abilities and care needs), dated October 2019, indicated that a BIMS (Brief
Interview of Mental Status) is a brief screener that aids in detecting cognitive impairment. Scores from a
BIMS assessment suggests the following distributions:
13 - 15: cognitively intact
8 - 12: moderately impaired
0 - 7: severe impairment
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included high blood pressure, dementia (loss of cognitive functioning, thinking, remembering, and
reasoning, to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities), and right hip fracture
(partial or complete break in the bone).

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of facility policies, observation, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to maintain a medication error rate of less than five percent for one of four residents
(Resident R242).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy Medication Administration Guidelines dated 9/27/23, indicated Only medications
that are crushable can be crushed. (See list Medications That Cannot Be Crushed).
Review of the facility provided document Meds That Should Not Be Crushed dated 02/2023 indicated
Crushing extended-release meds can result in administration of a large dose all at once. Crushing
delayed-release meds can alter the mechanism designed to protect the drug from gastric acids or prevent
gastric upset. This list included:
-Bupropion SR (sustained release)
-Metoprolol succinate ER (extended release)
-Potassium chloride
The observations listed below revealed three medication errors out of 25 opportunities resulting in a
medication error rate of 12.00%.
Review of a physician's orders dated 10/24/23, indicated Resident R242 received:
-10 mEq (milliequivalents) of potassium chloride, once daily.
-200 mg (milligrams) of Bupropion SR, once daily.
-12.5 mg of Metoprolol ER, once daily.
During a medication administration observation on 10/31/23, at 8:24 a.m. Registered Nurse (RN) Employee
E1 placed the above listed three medications in a crushing envelope. Just prior to RN Employee E1 pulling
the handle to crush the medications, the surveyor stopped RN Employee E1, and instructed her that
potassium chloride cannot be crushed. RN Employee E1 removed the potassium and crushed the
remainder of the medications.
During a review of Resident R242's physician's orders to verify accuracy of the remaining medications
provided, it was noted that the metoprolol and the Bupropion were extended release medications.
During an interview on 11/2/23, at 1:30 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing
confirmed the facility failed to maintain a medication error rate of less than five percent for one of four
residents.
