Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed
to provide care and services to prevent and treat pressure injuries in accordance with professional
standards for one of three residents reviewed for pressure injuries (Resident 9).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident 9's clinical records revealed diagnoses that included dementia (progressive, irreversible
degenerative brain disease that results in decreased contact with reality and decreased ability to perform
activities of daily living) and end stage renal disease (severely compromised ability of the kidneys to filter
toxins from the blood).
Review of Resident 9's physician orders revealed an active order which stated, Monitor dry blisters on toes
- if drainage noted, apply Mepilex transfer and [dressing] and schedule to change [Monday, Wednesday,
Saturday and as-needed], dated July 6, 2022.
During a treatment observation on May 29, 2024, at approximately 11:41 AM, Resident 9 was observed to
have an open blister to the outer aspect of her right fifth toe. The area appeared to be approximately 0.5
centimeters (cm - metric unit of measure) in width and 0.5 cm in length, with no depth. There was a small
amount of loose skin and the characteristics of the area were consistent with a stage II pressure injury
(shallow open area of the skin that does not present with slough/eschar [dead cells/skin] caused by
pressure over a bony prominence). After the observation, Employee 3 revealed that Resident 9 had a fluid
filled blister and confirmed that the blister had become an open area.
Review of Resident 9's clinical record revealed no documentation of the open area, to include progress
note from nursing staff regarding the formation of a pressure injury, notification of the physician of the open
area on the right fifth toe, wound assessment(s) including dimensions and characteristics of the wound, nor
a care plan for the pressure injury. It was also revealed that there was no evaluation of the area by the
wound team or physician.
Review of Resident 9's weekly skin checks revealed no skin check identified the area observed on Resident
9's right fifth toe.
During a staff interview on May 29, 2024, at approximately 1:30 PM, Director of Nursing (DON) revealed
that the order for a treatment and dressing, reviewed above, was from an unrelated skin condition that was
not pressure injuries.
Review of a wound assessment conducted on May 29, 2024 at 7:54 PM, confirmed the observations as the
facility assessed the wound as a 0.6 cm by 0.5 cm pressure injury.
During a staff interview on May 30, 2024, at approximately 12:30 PM, DON revealed that, due to the lack of
documentation and/or assessments, the facility was unable to determine the exact date that the pressure
injury first presented.
During a staff interview on May 30, 2024, at approximately 12:45 PM, Nursing Home Administrator (NHA)
revealed it was the facility's expectation that new wounds are reported to the attending physician and the
facility wound team for care, services, and treatment. During the interview, NHA revealed the facility was
unable to locate a policy regarding notification of the attending physician

across most situations).
Review of Resident 7's May 2024 MAR (Medication Administration Records - forms used to document
physician orders as well as when and how medications are administered to a resident) revealed an order
for Aripiprazole (antipsychotic medication) one time a day for mood related to major depressive disorder
and generalized anxiety disorder, effective April 18, 2023.
Further review of the MAR revealed that it was not documented that Aripiprazole was administered to
Resident 7 on May 1-3, 2024.

the cart, will reorder; on May 2, 2024 - Not available in the cart, will reorder; and on May 3, 2024 - Not
available at this time. Pharmacy aware. Medication ordered.

Review of Resident 154's progress notes revealed staff documented that the medications were not received
by the pharmacy.
During a staff interview on May 30, 2024, at approximately 12:30 PM, Director of Nursing (DON) revealed
that when staff initially entered Resident 154's medication orders into the electronic health record, an error
was made causing the pharmacy to not send the medication. During the interview, DON stated that facility
staff contacted pharmacy regarding the lack of medication, but that the pharmacy computer system showed
that delivery was not needed for the medications. During the interview, DON revealed it was expected that
orders are entered correctly.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on clinical record review, policy review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed
to ensure that the drug regimen of each resident was reviewed at least monthly by a licensed pharmacist,
that irregularities were reported to the appropriate parties, and that these reports were acted upon for two
of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Residents 7 and 41).
Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled Medication Regimen Review - Pharmacy, revised August 10, 2017, revealed
that the medication regimen of each resident is reviewed by a licensed pharmacist according to federal,
state, and local regulations. The pharmacist must report any irregularities to the attending physician, the
facility's medical director, and the Director of Nursing (DON), and that these reports must be acted upon in
a manner that meets the needs of the residents. Upon receipt of the written consultant pharmacist report
for non-urgent recommendations, the DON or designee shall provide the report to the attending physician
or their designee within 7 days, and the attending physician or designee should ideally respond within 7
days of the pharmacist's review date, but no later than the next regularly scheduled physician visit.
Review of Resident 7's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included anxiety disorder (mental disorder
characterized by feelings of worry about future events and/or fear in reaction to current events) and major
depressive disorder (mental disorder characterized by at least two weeks of low mood that is present
across most situations).
Review of pharmacist note dated November 1, 2023, revealed the following recommendation: Medications
reviewed. Please consider ordering a CBC [Complete Blood Count - blood test used to monitor or diagnose
health conditions] to monitor this resident's SSRI [Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors - medications
that treat depression by increasing levels of Serotonin in the brain] therapy. See recommendation form.
Further review of Resident 7's clinical record failed to reveal any evidence that this recommendation was
reviewed or acted upon.
During an interview with the DON on May 30, 2024, at 1:32 PM, she revealed the facility received an email
from the pharmacist on November 1, 2023, regarding pharmacy reviews for that month. Attached to the
email was a blank recommendation form, so the facility assumed no recommendations were made. The
DON also revealed that the facility was unaware that the pharmacist was entering notes into the Resident's
electronic health record, so did not look there to see if any recommendations had been made.
Review of Consultant Pharmacist Recommendation to Physician form dated February 27, 2024, revealed
the pharmacist made the following recommendations after reviewing Resident 7's medication regimen:
Please verify that the following PRN [as-needed] orders are still required and NOT considered for routine
therapy .1. Baclofen [skeletal muscle relaxant] (not used in >60 days) 2. Chloraseptic [relieves sore throat
and mouth pain] (not used in >60 days) 3. Hydrocortisone [used to reduce pain, swelling and
allergic-type reactions] ( not used in >60 days) 4. Lactulose [laxative] (not used in >60 days) 5. Miralax
[laxative] (not used in >60 days) 6. Nystatin [antifungal] (not used in

Review of Consultant Pharmacist Recommendation to Physician Form dated March 24, 2024, revealed the
same recommendation that was made on February 27, 2024, was again made on that date.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 7's clinical record failed to reveal evidence that the recommendation made on February
27, 2024, was reviewed or acted upon between that date and the date of the pharmacist's next medication
regimen review on March 24, 2024.
During an interview with the DON on May 30, 2024, at 1:32 PM, she revealed the expectation that the
February 2024 recommendation should have been reviewed and acted upon timely.
Review of Resident 41's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included anxiety disorder, bullous
pemphigoid (a skin condition that causes large, fluid-filled blisters), and protein calorie malnutrition (PCM an imbalance between the nutrients your body needs to function and the nutrients it gets).
Review of Resident 41's clinical record on May 29, 2024, at 9:50 AM, failed to reveal pharmacy medication
regimen review notes for the months of January 2024 through March 2024.
Review of select facility forms from the pharmacy, containing a list of residents who had no
recommendations made for January 2024 through March 2024, failed to include Resident 41.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on May 30, 2024, he revealed they are doing
ongoing staff education on a new process since the building has switched pharmacy services as of
December 2023. It was revealed that the recommendations get faxed over from the pharmacy and put in
the physician folder for review, the physician should be signing off on any recommendations made, and
then implemented and scanned into the resident's medical record accordingly.
Interview with the DON on May 30, 2024, at 1:38 PM, revealed she is unable to locate Resident 41's
pharmacy reviews with physician responses for the aforementioned months, and she would expect them to
be available and reviewed by the physician.
