Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
I, [ADON D], was the LVN working the floor on 2 Central today. I clocked in at 0610 (6:10AM) and came to
get report from the night nurse. When I arrived on the floor, the night nurse .was gone and [ADON K] had
my medication cart keys and stated she had taken over all the carts on the floor and sent the night nurse
home. When I walked around the corner to get my keys from the ADON, she was in the narcotic box on my
cart. I asked her what she was doing. She stated she was getting a Tylenol 3 out for [Resident #57]. After
she had administered the medication to the resident, I counted the cart to take over the shift and then
noticed [Resident #57's] card and count sheet were not in the count. I asked the ADON about the narcotic
for [Resident #57] and why it was not on the cart anymore and she stated, He doesn't use it enough, so I
am going to discontinue it and I am going to give it to [DON]. She had the narcotic medication and the count
sheet in her hand and took it to her office. I then looked at the documentation
Residents Affected - Few
and saw that the narcotic that the [ADON K] allegedly gave to [Resident #57] was not signed off on the
EMAR, but I had no sheet to verify the count. I notified the DON of the situation immediately. Later that day
the ADON pulled me into her office and told me, They are looking for [Resident #57's] narcotic medication.
Don't tell them l have it. I walked out of the office and immediately reported the situation to the DON. The
statement was signed by ADON D and dated 8/23/23.
A written statement by LVN L included in the report reflected:
8/23/23
I, [LVN L] clocked in and went to get report. [ADON K] was at the nurses'
station and had the keys to the medication cart. She stated that the night nurse was sent home and she
would be giving me report and counting with me. I counted with her and noticed that a narcotic card and
sheet were missing from the shift from the previous day. I asked the ADON
where the narcotic card and sheet were. She stated that she was going to discontinue them and give them
to the DON, l advised her that was not the procedure that was to be followed. I reminded her that only the
DON was to receive narcotics that were to be destroyed. I requested that she put the narcotics back on the
cart. She was hesitant to do so and again I asked her to put the narcotics back on the cart for the DON to
pick up. She gave me back the card and sheet to give to the DON for destruction. I gave the DON narcotic
card and sheet for destruction. The statement was signed by LVN L and dated 8/23/23.
A written statement by RN M included in the report reflected:
8/23/23
I, [RN M], clocked in to start my shift. When l arrived to the nurses' station, the night nurse was there. l
asked her if she was ready to count the carts and she stated the ADON had counted the carts and had the
keys. I then called the ADON and asked her to come count with me. She told me over the phone, 'Come get
the keys'. I then walked down to the office and passed her in the hallways. She attempted to give the keys
to me without counting the cart and I advised her that this is not the procedure. I then told her that she
needed to count with me before I took the keys to the cart. We counted the cart and it was correct. The
statement was signed by RN M and dated 8/23/23.

Tylenol #3 medication to the DON back in August. She stated she remembered coming in that morning and
ADON K told her the night nurse had already gone home and she tried to hand her the keys to her
medication cart. She stated she told ADON K she was not accepting the keys until they counted the cart
together. She walked away to put her things away and when she returned, ADON K was in her cart. She
stated ADON K told her she had just given Resident #57 Tylenol #3. ADON D stated the thought that was
odd because he rarely wanted it and was usually fine with regular Tylenol. She stated they counted the cart
together and the counts were correct. ADON D stated was not an ADON at that time and was working as
an LVN. She initially let ADON K take the card and count sheet because, at that time, they were allowed to
turn medications over to the ADONs for destruction and she thought she recalled

the physician talking about discontinuing the medications. ADON D said she checked Resident #57 who
stated he may have received the Tylenol #3 but wasn't sure because the pills looked similar, and his pain
was not bad that morning. ADON D stated she spoke with ADON K and asked if she had given the
medication to the DON yet. She stated ADON K told her, not yet and don't tell her I have them. ADON D
stated she immediately reported the occurrence to the DON. She stated the DON had asked ADON K
about the meds and she denied having them. ADON D explained they typically give the DON medications
for destruction, but ADON K had previously been allowed to accept them as the DON had just started
working there. She stated she had never given any other meds for destruction to ADON K but did that day
because she was already there. She became suspicious when she saw it wasn't signed out on the MAR,
only the count sheet. ADON D could not recall how many pills were left on the card.
An interview with the DON on 11/29/23 at 9:00 AM revealed she just started working in the facility at the
beginning of August 2023. She stated on August 23 she began getting calls from nursing staff around 5:45
AM asking why ADON K was taking keys from the night shift. She began quickly heading to the facility. She
stated she received a call from ADON D who told her ADON K had taken a card and count sheet for Tylenol
#3 for Resident #57. She stated she called ADON K and asked her about the keys but got no real
explanation. She described ADON K as talking around everything. She stated ADON K was not aware she
was already pulling into the facility at that time. The DON stated when she arrived, she went straight to
ADON D's cart, checked it with her, then checked all the other carts. She stated she spoke with LVN L who
told her ADON K had attempted to remove a card of Tylenol #3 from her cart that morning, but she would
not allow it. The DON stated she wanted to give ADON K a little time to turn the meds into her for
destruction. The DON stated, before her arrival that month, ADON K was performing the drug destruction
for the facility so she could see why it did not initially come as a surprise to ADON D. She stated, when
ADON D noticed on the MAR that Resident #57 had continued to periodically request the med and ADON
K failed to sign it out, she called her right away. The DON stated she could not initially locate ADON K in the
building. She checked on Resident #57 who told her he received a white pill that morning but could not tell
the difference between regular Tylenol and #3. He denied being in pain. She alerted the Administrator. The
DON stated when ADON K came to her office, she asked the ADON if she had any medications for
destruction and was told, no. When she asked the ADON why she had taken the keys from the night staff,
she replied she wanted to let them go early. When the DON told her she had never done that before, ADON
K just said, 'ok'. The DON stated she contacted the Administrator and Regional Nurse consultant and
explained the situation and reported ADON D's allegation that ADON K told her not to tell the DON she had
the drugs. The DON stated she and the Administrator pulled ADON K into the office and confronted her.
She said they told her they knew the medications were missing on her watch. The DON stated ADON K
denied everything and was not acting right and she suspected the ADON was under the influence of
something. The DON stated they contacted HR who took ADON K, ADON D and LVN O for a drug screen.
She stated the HR representative rode with them. The DON explained LVN O was only sent because the
Regional Nurse Consultant requested a random night nurse get checked as well, they had no suspicions of
her.
The DON stated ADON K's drug screen returned positive for codeine, and she had no prescription for the
medication. She stated ADON K was suspended immediately and ultimately terminated. They were unable
to recover the medications and ADON K was not allowed to work in the facility while the investigation was
under way. She stated ADON K refused to write a statement. She stated Resident #57's medications were
immediately replaced and he did not miss any doses. The DON stated she believed the overall failure was
they nurses were counting medications and not actual cards as well [6 inch x 9 inch cards with numbered
cavities

containing pills that allow the staff to punch out individual doses]. She stated a full audit had been
completed and the Pharmacy Consultant was involved as well. They did not note any other medications
missing during the time she was assisting with drug destructions. The DON explained she had immediately
written a new procedure and in-serviced all staff. She stated she checked carts daily herself to ensure all
controlled medications are accounted for. The DON did not know how many tablets were remaining on the
missing card containing the acetaminophen with codeine.
During a follow-up interview on 11/29/23 at 10:50 AM, the DON stated the police had been called and
notified by the Administrator, but no one ever came to investigate.
Observation and interview with RN M on 11/29/23 at 11:59 PM she stated she was aware of the drug
diversion that had occurred in August. She stated she remembered clocking in that morning and seeing the
night nurse at the nurses' station. She told the nurse, Let's go count as usual but was told ADON K had
already counted the cart with the night shift nurse, RN M stated that was very unusual and had never
happened before. She stated the night nurse told her it was because she was late and she told them she
was not late, it was 6:05 AM. RN M stated she called ADON K on her cell and was told to come and get the
keys from her. She stated she went to office and ADON K tried to hand her the keys. She stated she
refused to accept the keys and told ADON K, you know better than that, we're going to count the meds. She
stated the two of them counted the cart and everything was correct. She did not believe anything was
missing because she knew her residents well and had very few controlled medications in her cart. She
stated she had never given controlled medications to ADON K before and would only go to the DON if she
needed to. She stated she knew they were without a DON for a bit, but she did not personally have to turn
anything in for destruction during that period. RN M explained the DON had implemented a better system
and they now count the number of cards as well as the individual medications. She stated she had received
training and any discrepancies or questions go straight to the DON.
On 11/29/23 at 6:16 PM, attempt to reach ADON K at a number provided by the facility was unsuccessful. A
voice message was left.
During an interview with the Administrator on 12/1/23 at 8:15 AM, He stated he was surprised when the
drug diversion had occurred, and he had not encountered that issue before. He denied having any previous
concerns with ADON K.
Record review of a facility in-service record on Controlled Medication Procedure dated 08/23/23 revealed
the following:
All Nurses and Medications Aides:
We have implemented the new system for narcotics, and it is the expectation that it will be followed at all
times with no exceptions. This is a VERY serious matter and any violations of the procedure will be
addressed and disciplined immediately .
Use the new narcotic count sheet that was implemented

Worker revealed the resident was given written notice of discharge the same day as the discharge. The
Social Worker revealed he had not put a copy in Resident #228's electronic medical record. The Social

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation and interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an environment as free
of accident hazards as is possible for two of two rooms (storage room and shower room) in the facility's
secured unit, reviewed for accidents and hazards.
The facility failed to ensure the storage room and shower room doors, in the secured unit were locked.
These failures could place residents at risk of accidents, injury, or consuming hazardous personal care
products.
Findings included:
Observation on 11/28/23 at 11:34 AM in the secured unit revealed the storage room door in the secured
unit was unlocked. The door had two locks, a dead bold and a regular lock on the doorknob. Both were
unlocked. The storage room contained oxygen condensers and bottles,, deodorants and wound care
supplies including wound spray labeled, Keep out of reach of children. Shampoo and conditioner, shoes, a
fan, fall mats, hand sanitizer, and alcohol pads were also in the room. The room was observed to be
clustered with these items which made it difficult to move in the room.
Observation on 11/28/23 at 12:23 PM revealed the door to the shower room was unlocked. Inside the
shower room a cabinet containing personal care items was also unlocked with the unpadlocked hanging on
the door. Shampoo, body spray, and lotion were in the shower area of the shower room. A stick deodorant
and shave cream, both with labeling that stated, Keep out of reach of children, was also in the shower area.
A sharps container containing an overfilled sharps bin attached to the wall in the shower room. The lid on
the bin did not close completely due to used razors inside the bin blocking the closing mechanism.
In an interview on 11/28/23 at 12:40 PM, CNA B stated none of the residents in the secured unit wandered
in and out of rooms but both doors should be locked to ensure the safety of the residents in the secured
unit. She said she believed the nurse had the keys to the doors but the locks on both the storage room door
and the shower room door did not work. She said the unlocked doors could be a hazard for residents if they
did get into the rooms. She said residents could get into personal care products and ingest them
accidentally. She said the sharps bin should be changed because it was full and did not close properly. She
said she was not sure where the key to the container was but would ask the nurse. She said she had not
told maintenance about the broken locks but knew she should log maintenance concerns in the logbook at
the nurse's station.
In an interview and observation on 11/28/23 at 12:50 PM, RN C stated the supply closet should be kept
locked because there were items in the room that could ham the residents. She said the clutter alone could
make anyone fall in the room. She said she did not know why the room was not locked and tried to lock it
with keys from her key ring. She said none of her keys worked on the storage room door lock and one of
the locks were broken. She went to the shower room and said the sharps bin should be changed because it
was filled with used razors. She said the Shower Room door should be locked to ensure the safety of
residents. She said personal care items should be secured in the cabinet in the shower room and also
locked. She said she did not know why they were not locked but she expected the Shower room to be
secured. She pointed out that the lock on the shower room was broken did not

allow the door to close properly. She said she did not know it was broken and needed to be logged in the
maintenance logbook at the nurses' stations. She said she expected CNAs to let her know when things
were broken or needed repair so she could follow up with maintenance. She said although the residents in
the secured unit did not have a history of wandering into rooms, the unlocked doors posed a risk of
accidents to the residents because they did have access to the shower room and storage room. She called
the Maintenance Director to repair the locks.
In an interview on 11/29/23 at 11:50 PM, the Maintenance Director said he was called to the secured unit
yesterday to repair broken locks on the storage room and shower room doors. He said he was not aware
the locks were broken. He said he completed the repairs on 11/28/2023 and both doors were secured now.
He said nursing staff were expected to log any maintenance issues in the Maintenance Logbook at the
nurses' station. He said he checked the logs daily and made weekly door rounds to check them for security
but said he had not checked the shower room door or the storage room doors, in the secured unit, recently.
In an interview on 11/29/23 at 11:50 PM, the Administrator stated upon learning of the unsecured storage
room and shower room doors, in the secured unit, he had the Maintenance Director repair them
immediately. He said the repairs were completed on 11/28/2023 when RN C was made aware that they
were not secured. He said he recognized the importance of the doors being locked as there were items in
both the shower room and the storage rooms that could pose a risk of harm to residents. He said the facility
did not have a policy related to accidents or hazards, but he said he expected all staff to record any
maintenance issue in the logbooks at the nurses' stations and to notify both the DON and him of the issue.
In an interview on 11/30/23 at 9:49 AM, the DON stated she had been made aware the doors to the
storage room and shower room, in the secured unit, were not locked on 11/28/2023. She said maintenance
repaired the locks the same day. She said there was no history of residents wandering from room to room
and most of the residents had mid-range BIMs Scores (mild cognition impairments). She said the doors still
needed to be secured to ensure the safety of the residents and minimize any possibility of accident or
hazard. She said the facility did not have a policy directing accident and hazards but expected all staff to
ensure resident safety. She said it was her and the Administrator's roll to train staff on resident safety and
minimizing accidents and hazards.
In an interview on 12/01/23 at 4:40 PM the COO stated he was not sure why the facility did not have a
policy directing procedures to minimize accidents and hazards. He said he expected the Administrator and
DON to train staff on safety procedures and resident safety in the Secured Unit.
Record review of the maintenance logbook dated 07/12/23, through 11/28/23, at the nurses' station,
reflected no documentation of broken locks on the shower room or storage room doors in the secured unit.
Record review of the facility's, Call light and door check log, dated 11/2/23-11/27/23 reflected no
documentation of checks on the Secured Unit's indication storage room or shower room doors.

F 0695
Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needs respiratory
care is provided such care consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #1)
reviewed for respiratory care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to perform routine bi-pap (bilevel positive airway pressure is a machine that helps you
breathe) maintenance.
This failure has the potential to affect residents who use bi-pap machines in the facility.
Findings included:
Resident #40 Face Sheet Record Review revealed the resident was a [AGE] year-old male admitted
[DATE]. Resident#40 face sheet revealed a BIMS score of 14 indicating the resident was cognitively intact.
Resident #40's MDS revealed a diagnosis of Arthritis and Alzheimer's disease.
Observation of resident in resident's room on 11/28/23 at 12:04 PM revealed a yellow sediment in the
bottom of the water reserve of the ci-pap/bi-pap machine on the resident's bedside table. Revealed no date
on the ci-pap/bi-pap tube. The bi-pap tube had tape wrapped around the tube in various places.
Interview on 11/29/23 at 02:45 PM with nurse LVN F revealed the resident is on a bipap that connects to his
oxygen that he uses at 2300 or when he goes to bed. LVN F revealed the bipap was cleaned weekly at
11pm and the tubing changed weekly. LVN F indicated if the bipap is dirty it would be cleaned as needed.
Resident #40's Care Plan dated 06/06/23 reflected the resident refused use of the bipap.
Electronic medical records reflect order that began on 05/12/23 for c-pap/bi-pap nightly per preset settings
starting at 11:00 PM daily for diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that pain management was provided to
residents who required such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the
comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for 1 (Resident #36) of
8 residents reviewed for pain management.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure Resident #36 received her scheduled pain medication every six hours as
ordered when her supply ran out. Resident #36 received no scheduled or PRN pain medication for more
than two days until surveyor inquiry causing her to experience severe pain.
An immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 11/30/23. The IJ template was provided to the facility on
[DATE] at 1:12 PM. While the IJ was removed on 12/1/23, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope
of pattern and a severity level of actual harm because all staff had not been trained on the corrective
systems.
This failure placed residents who require pain management at risk of suffering severe pain.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #36's Face Sheet dated 11/30/23 revealed she was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (stroke),
congestive heart failure, muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of strength), anxiety disorder due to known
physiological condition, pain in right knee, pain in right hip, difficulty walking and muscle spasm.
Record review of Resident #36's most recent MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS
score of 8 indicating she had moderately impaired cognition. She had occasional pain that occasionally
affected her day-to-day activities and made it hard for her to sleep at night. The MDS Assessment also
reflected she received routine and PRN pain medications.
Record review of Resident #36's current Care Plan revealed the following entry dated 5/27/21, revised
6/22/23: Category: Medication. The resident is on Pain medication therapy r/t Diabetes Neuropathy. Goal:

During an observation and interview on 11/30/23 at 8:15 AM, Resident #36 was in her room, in her bed,
she was frowning and asked if state surveyor could check on her medications for her. She stated she had
not been getting her medicine for about four days, the staff kept telling her they were waiting for the
pharmacy delivery. She stated the medication was hydrocodone for her pain. Resident #36 stated her legs,
knees, and feet were very painful and they were not giving her anything for it. She shook her head,
motioned toward her legs and rubbed her thighs. She stated she had been complaining of pain to the staff
for days and they won't do anything! Resident #36 appeared upset and asked state surveyor to please let
me know what is happening because no one will tell me anything! Resident #36's roommate, Resident #22,
stated she had heard Resident #36 complaining of pain for the past couple of days and confirmed the staff
had been telling her they were waiting for the pharmacy. She stated she did not have any medication issues
herself but was worried about her roommate.
During an observation and interview with ADON D and ADON E on 11/30/23 at 8:20 AM, ADON D
confirmed she had cared for Resident #36 that week and stated the resident did not have any hydrocodone
available on 11/29/23 and she had previously called NP J about it who told her she had sent the
prescription to the pharmacy. She stated she called the pharmacy on 11/29/23 and was told it would be on
the next delivery, but it was not. ADON D stated today is day two when asked how long she had been out of
hydrocodone. ADON D stated Resident #36 was receiving scheduled doses of gabapentin and had muscle

relaxers and Tylenol extra strength ordered as needed. When asked about an emergency medication kit
(E-kit), ADON D stated they previously had a box and had recently been switched to a Pyxis (machine that
distributes medication) and stated they were just filling it. ADON D checked a computer and stated
Resident #36's last dose was 11/28/23. She stated she would call the pharmacy and check the E-kit, then
walked away. ADON E was working with a medication cart and confirmed it was the cart that contained
Resident #36's medications. She stated she was just coming on and did not know anything about her
situation. The medication cart was checked with ADON E , and she confirmed there was no hydrocodone
available for her. When asked how often medications were re-ordered for residents, ADON E stated she
usually reordered when a resident was down to about 15 tablets or half a card just to be safe. She stated
she may order them earlier if a resident takes multiple doses per day.
On 11/30/23 at 8:28 AM, ADON D returned and stated she just checked the E-Kit and it only contained
hydrocodone 5 mg and 10 mg tablets, and Resident #36 took 7.5 mg tablets. She stated she would contact
the pharmacy again.
During a follow-up interview and observation with Resident #36 on 11/30/23 at 8:30 AM, she stated she
had not been given anything else for pain. ADON D entered the room during the interview and asked
Resident #36 if she was in pain. Resident #36 stated she was hurting bad and rated her pain 10/10. When
ADON D told the resident she had muscle relaxers and Tylenol available, Resident #36 replied, You know I
don't want that Tylenol, it doesn't do anything! ADON D presented her cell phone and pointed out her text
messages and stated she had texted NP J on Monday (11/27/23), told her about the scheduled
hydrocodone and informed her there was only one tablet left. When asked if that meant she had not
received any doses since Monday, ADON D did not answer, walked away toward her office, and took a
phone call. Once off the phone, ADON D stated she had called NP J again on 11/29/23 (Wednesday)and
told her the medication was not available. She stated she had checked the E-Kit on 11/29/23 as well but did
not inform the pain doctor there were other dose strengths available.
Interview with the DON on 11/30/23 at 9:26 AM revealed she had just been made aware of Resident #36's
lack of available hydrocodone that morning. She stated she had just hung up with NP J and the Medical
Director and they were getting a one-time order for hydrocodone 10 mg and pulling one from the E-kit while
they get the issue resolved. She stated NP J told her she had sent the prescription to the pharmacy earlier
in the week. The DON said she called the pharmacy, and they told her they had not received it. She stated
the Medical Director was in the process of sending one at that time. The DON explained controlled
medications, like hydrocodone, require special triplicate prescriptions. She stated they normally do not
require them for refill order as the physicians will order a six-month supply. The facility has authorized
agents, like herself, who can order refills. She explained, in this instance, Resident #36 did not have any
more refills and required a new prescription. She stated normally either the pharmacy would have notified
her, or the Charge Nurse would have notified the physician. The DON stated ADON D told her she had
notified NP J prior to the medication running out. The DON stated she knew Resident #36 had Tylenol
available as well as muscle relaxers but did not know if any had been administered. She stated she would
not consider Tylenol Extra Strength to be a suitable replacement for hydrocodone but Resident #36 had
muscle relaxers ordered as well and she expected her pain to be managed in some form or fashion. The
DON sated she did not know if Resident #36's pain had been monitored and said it should have been
monitored and documented on the MAR. The DON stated she was aware the E-kit had been stocked but,
unfortunately, did not have the hydrocodone 7.5 mg dose available that had been ordered for Resident #36.
She stated she did not know if anyone had told NP J or the Medical Director there were alternate doses
available in the E-kit. The DON stated, if a resident ran out of pain medication, she expected the nurses to
check the E-kit, look for

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or

Residents Affected - Some
back-up medications or other PRN orders available for the resident. If the medications were not effective,
she expected the nurses to notify the physician. When asked if she was aware this was a scheduled
medication, she stated she was not, but her expectations would be the same. The DON explained
medication reorders were discussed in their stand-up meetings. If a nurse ordered a medication, it was
written on a board and followed for three days. She was not aware of Resident #36's medication. She stated
they had missed their stand-up meeting on 11/28/23 as the survey began that day so that possibly
contributed. She stated there was no facility policy for medication reorders, but she expected her nurses to
use their judgement and order medications three to five days ahead of time. The DON stated pain
monitoring and medication administration were important because she wanted everyone to be comfortable
and pain free for quality of life. She stated, My expectation is for my staff to take care of the patients and
manage their pain appropriately. The DON stated medications could be ordered any time of day. When
asked about other nurses caring for Resident #36 during the last three days, the DON identified LVN G and
LVN I as agency nurses and LVN H as working night shift and PRN. She stated she had the same
expectations for Agency nurses as she had for facility staff. She stated, I would think they would know as
nurses not to let residents go without pain medications. It is very easy to reorder medications in [the
computer software]. She stated the failure was of the nurse who first ordered it to notify her and that did not
happen. The DON stated they try to keep their E-kit stocked with whatever medications residents have
ordered. When it was noted hydrocodone 7.5 mg was not available, they should have tried to contact the
physician for an alternative.
Observation and interview with Resident #36 on 11/30/23 at 11:10 AM revealed she was resting in bed with
her eyes closed and responded to voice. She stated she had received some medication and was feeling
better. She stated she was grateful because I have been asking for days.
During a follow-up interview and observation on 11/30/23 at 11:16 AM, ADON D showed her cell phone
with text messages. She identified the texts as being between herself and NP J. The text was dated
Monday, 11/27/23 at 1:49 PM and reflected, Hey, [Resident #36] has 2 hydrocodone 7.6-325 can you
please reorder? The text response reflected, Ok. ADON D stated she called NP J again today and was told
she was sending the triplicate again.
In an interview on 11/30/23 at 11:30 AM, the Administrator and Regional Operations Manager stated there
was no policy regarding reordering medications. The Administrator said the medications should have been
ordered and they knew the resident had missed 9 doses of regularly scheduled hydrocodone 7.5.mg. They
said the nurse should have informed the ADON or DON and the emergency meds should have contained
the correct dose for the resident. The Administrator said they failed to have the appropriate medications on
hand, in the emergency dispenser, and the staff did not tell anyone they needed to be ordered - they said
this was a concern and placed the resident in harm due to missing their pain medication. The Administrator
and Regional Operations Manager stated the Regional Nurse Consultant was at home and ill, but they
planned to call her.
A telephone interview with the Medical Director on 11/30/23 at 12:08 PM revealed he was Resident #36's
attending physician. He stated he had been made aware of an issue with Resident #36's prescription and
had just stopped by the facility and provided an order for a one-time dose of pain medication for her while
the prescription was sorted out with pharmacy. He stated he was aware she had chronic pain issues which
was why he had previously consulted pain management physician. He stated he had not been notified
before today there was any issues with her medication availability. He stated Resident #36 had bad arthritis.
He stated he had not had any issues or concerns regarding residents receiving their medications.

Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 11/30/23 at 12:12 PM, the DON provided a list of all facility residents receiving pain
medications. She stated she had conducted an audit of all medication carts and ensured all residents
receiving pain medications had medications available.
During an interview on 11/30/23 at 12:16 PM with ADON D stated she should check pain scales when
residents receive pain medications and every shift. She stated she recalled checking Resident #36 on
Tuesday, 11/28/23 and she was sleeping so she coded a 0/10. She could not recall what time she checked
her or if she checked her again during her shift. She did not respond when asked about coding Resident
#36's pain level as a 0 on 11/29/23 and again that morning, even though we had both seen she was in
pain. She stated Resident #36 received her last dose of hydrocodone on Tuesday, 11/28/23. ADON D was
shown Resident #36's MAR and asked to clarify because the last dose was signed out on Monday,
11/27/23 at 7:00 PM. ADON D stated she would check her computer. She stated she contacted the
pharmacy on Wednesday, 11/29/23 and was told the medication had been ordered and was enroute. She
stated when it hadn't arrived at the end of her shift, she let LVN F know the medication was not there. She
confirmed she did not notify the physician the medications were unavailable.
An interview on 11/30/23 at 2:09 PM with LVN H revealed he worked the 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM shift and
had cared for Resident #36. He stated the day shift had reported her hydrocodone was not available. He
stated he discussed the situation with Resident #36 and let her know she had PRN medications available.
LVN H stated Resident #36 would sometimes sleep through her dose hydrocodone on his shift and he did
not recall her complaining of pain during his shift. He stated lately she had been sleeping better since
getting scheduled medications. LVN H stated, if scheduled medications were not available for
administration, he would report the information on the 24-hour report, but Resident #36's information had
already been documented. He stated if she had been acting like she was in pain or throwing a fit he would
have called the physician. When asked about his rating of her pain as 7/10 on her MAR for his shift, LVN H
stated, What they say, may or may not be what's happening. He stated he provided other means for relief
such as repositioning.
In a telephone interview on 11/30/23 at 5:00 PM, NP J confirmed she worked under a pain management
specialist. She stated she had received a request to refill Resident #36's hydrocodone on 11/27/23 and
sent the prescription to the pharmacy the same day. She stated, for some reason, the prescription did not
go through. NP J stated she knew Resident #36 well and she needed her pain medication. She stated the
nurses usually sent the request further ahead of time, two to three days before because the pharmacy
takes a few days to fill it. She stated the nurses knew they should order it at least two to three days ahead.
NP J stated she did not know when Resident #36 received her last dose but when she was told it was still
unavailable, she called the pharmacy right away. She stated she did not know the script never went
through. NP J stated Resident #36 had orders for [muscle relaxer] and Tylenol as well and the nurses could
have administered those. She stated, if the resident was in severe pain, the nurses could have called her for
an E-kit order.
Record review of Resident #36's progress notes revealed the most recent nurse's entry was dated
11/13/2023. The following entries were made after surveyor inquiry:

offered appropriately preceding these identified activities. 7. The resident's pain will be evaluated routinely
each shift. 8. Residents will be re-assessed 30 - 60 minutes after pain management interventions to
determine the effectiveness of the intervention. 9. Nursing staff will evaluate how pain is affecting mood,
activities of daily living, sleep and the resident's quality of life including complications (i.e., falls, gait
disturbance, social isolation). 10. The physician will order appropriate pain medication intervention both
routine and PRN to address the individual's pain. 11. Residents with unrelieved pain will be evaluated by
the nurse and the physician notified. Pain interventions will be adjusted accordingly and may include
non-pharmacological measures.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services (including
procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and
biologicals) to meet the needs of each resident for 1 (Resident #36) of 8 residents reviewed for pharmacy
services.
1. The facility failed to obtain the routine scheduled pain medication for Resident #36, who was to receive it
every 6 hours, for more than two days after her supply ran out. Resident #36 missed 10 doses of her
scheduled pain medication causing her to experience severe pain. The medications were received after
surveyor inquiry.
An immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 11/30/23. The IJ template was provided to the facility on
[DATE] at 1:12 PM. While the IJ was removed on 12/1/23, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope
of pattern and a severity level of actual harm because all staff had not been trained on the corrective
systems.
This failure could place residents who require pain management at risk of suffering severe pain due to lack
of medication availability.
2. The facility failed to prevent an employee with access to controlled medications from diverting an
unknown number of Tylenol #3 tablets (a Schedule III narcotice used to treat pain) belonging to Resident
#57 from a medication cart.
This failure could place residents at risk for unrelieved pain due to his medication not being readily
available.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #36's Face Sheet dated 11/30/23 revealed the resident was re-admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (stroke), congestive heart failure, muscle
wasting and atrophy (loss of strength), anxiety disorder due to known physiological condition, pain in right
knee, pain in right hip, difficulty walking and muscle spasm.
Record review of Resident #36's most recent MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS
score of 8 indicating she had moderately impaired cognition. She had occasional pain that occasionally
affected her day-to-day activities and made it hard for her to sleep at night. The MDS Assessment also
reflected she received routine and PRN pain medications.
Record review of Resident #36's current Care Plan revealed the following entry dated 5/27/21, revised

During an observation and interview on 11/30/23 at 8:15 AM, Resident #36 was in her room, in her bed,
she was frowning and asked if state surveyor could check on her medications for her. She stated she had
not been getting her medicine for about four days, the staff kept telling her they were waiting for the
pharmacy delivery. She stated the medication was hydrocodone for her pain. Resident #36 stated her legs,
knees, and feet were very painful and they were not giving her anything for it. She shook her head,
motioned toward her legs and rubbed her thighs. She stated she had been complaining of pain to the staff
for days and they won't do anything! Resident #36 appeared upset and asked state surveyor to please let
me know what is happening because no one will tell me anything! Resident

#36's roommate, Resident #22, stated she had heard Resident #36 complaining of pain for the past couple
of days and confirmed the staff had been telling her they were waiting for the pharmacy. She stated she did
not have any medication issues herself but was worried about her roommate.
During an interview with ADON D and ADON E on 11/30/23 at 8:20 AM, ADON D confirmed she had cared
for Resident #36 that week and stated the resident did not have any hydrocodone available on 11/29/23
and she had previously called NP J about it who told her she had sent the prescription to the pharmacy.
She stated she called the pharmacy on 11/29/23 and was told it would be on the next delivery, but it was
not. ADON D stated today is day two when asked how long she had been out of hydrocodone. ADON D
stated Resident #36 was receiving scheduled doses of gabapentin and had muscle relaxers and Tylenol
extra strength ordered as needed. When asked about an emergency medication kit (E-kit), ADON D stated
they previously had a box and had recently been switched to a Pyxis (machine that distributes medication)
and stated they were just filling it. ADON D checked a computer and stated Resident #36's last dose was
11/28/23. She stated she would call the pharmacy and check the E-kit, then walked away. ADON E was
working with a medication cart and confirmed it was the cart that contained Resident #36's medications.
She stated she was just coming on and did not know anything about her situation. The medication cart was
checked with ADON E, and she confirmed there was no hydrocodone available for her. When asked how
often medications were re-ordered for residents, ADON E stated she usually reordered when a resident
was down to about 15 tablets or half a card just to be safe. She stated she may order them earlier if a
resident takes multiple doses per day.
On 11/30/23 at 8:28 AM, ADON D returned and stated she just checked the E-Kit and it only contained
hydrocodone 5 mg and 10 mg tablets, and Resident #36 took 7.5 mg tablets. She stated she would contact
the pharmacy again.
During a follow-up interview and observation with Resident #36 on 11/30/23 at 8:30 AM, she stated she
had not been given anything else for pain. ADON D entered the room during the interview and asked
Resident #36 if she was in pain. Resident #36 stated she was hurting bad and rated her pain 10/10. When
ADON D told the resident she had muscle relaxers and Tylenol available, Resident #36 replied, You know I
don't want that Tylenol, it doesn't do anything! ADON D presented her cell phone and pointed out her text
messages and stated she had texted NP J on Monday (11/27/23), told her about the scheduled
hydrocodone and informed her there was only one tablet left. When asked if that meant she had not
received any doses since Monday, ADON D did not answer, walked away toward her office, and took a
phone call. Once off the phone, ADON D stated she had called NP J again on 11/29/23 (Wednesday)and
told her the medication was not available. She stated she had checked the E-Kit on 11/29/23 as well but did
not inform the pain doctor there were other dose strengths available.
Interview with the DON on 11/30/23 at 9:26 AM revealed she had been just made aware of Resident #36's
lack of available hydrocodone that morning. She stated she had just hung up with NP J and the Medical
Director and they were getting a one-time order for hydrocodone 10 mg and pulling one from the E-kit while
they get the issue resolved. She stated NP J told her she had sent the prescription to the pharmacy earlier
in the week. The DON said she called the pharmacy, and they told her they had not received it. She stated
the Medical Director was in the process of sending one at that time. The DON explained controlled
medications, like hydrocodone, require special triplicate prescriptions. She stated they normally do not
require them for refill order as the physicians will order a six-month supply. The facility has authorized
agents, like herself, who can order refills. She explained, in this instance, Resident #36 did not have any
more refills and required a new prescription. She stated normally either the pharmacy would have notified
her, or the Charge Nurse would have notified the physician. The DON stated ADON D told her she had
notified NP J prior to the medication running out.

The DON stated she knew Resident #36 had Tylenol available as well as muscle relaxers but did not know
if any had been administered. She stated she would not consider Tylenol Extra Strength to be a suitable
replacement for hydrocodone but Resident #36 had muscle relaxers ordered as well and she expected her
pain to be managed in some form or fashion. The DON sated she did not know if Resident #36's pain had
been monitored and said it should have been monitored and documented on the MAR. The DON stated she
was aware the E-kit had been stocked but, unfortunately, did not have the hydrocodone 7.5 mg dose
available that had been ordered for Resident #36. She stated she did not know if anyone had told NP J or
the Medical Director there were alternate doses available in the E-kit. The DON stated, if a resident ran out
of pain medication, she expected the nurses to check the E-kit, look for back-up medications or other PRN
orders available for the resident. If the medications were not effective, she expected the nurses to notify the
physician. When asked if she was aware this was a scheduled medication, she stated she was not, but her
expectations would be the same.
The DON explained medication reorders were discussed in their stand-up meetings. If a nurse ordered a
medication, it was written on a board and followed for three days. She was not aware of Resident #36's
medication. She stated they had missed their stand-up meeting on 11/28/23 as the survey began that day
so that possibly contributed. She stated there was no facility policy for medication reorders, but she
expected her nurses to use their judgement and order medications three to five days ahead of time. The
DON stated pain monitoring and medication administration were important because she wanted everyone
to be comfortable and pain free for quality of life. She stated, My expectation is for my staff to take care of
the patients and manage their pain appropriately.
The DON stated medications could be ordered any time of day. When asked about other nurses caring for
Resident #36 during the last three days, the DON identified LVN G and LVN I as agency nurses and LVN H
as working night shift and PRN. She stated she had the same expectations for Agency nurses as she had
for facility staff. She stated, I would think they would know as nurses not to let residents go without pain
medications. It is very easy to reorder medications in [the computer software]. She stated the failure was of
the nurse who first ordered it to notify her and that did not happen. The DON stated they try to keep their
E-kit stocked with whatever medications residents have ordered. When it was noted hydrocodone 7.5 mg
was not available, they should have tried to contact the physician for an alternative.
Observation and interview with Resident #36 on 11/30/23 at 11:10 AM revealed she was resting in bed with
her eyes closed and responded to voice. She stated she had received some medication and was feeling
better. She stated she was grateful because I have been asking for days.
During a follow-up interview on 11/30/23 at 11:16 AM, ADON D showed her cell phone with text messages.
She identified the texts as being between herself and NP J. The text was dated Monday, 11/27/23 at 1:49
PM and reflected, Hey, [Resident #36] has 2 hydrocodone 7.5-325 can you please reorder? The text
response reflected, Ok. ADON D stated she called NP J again today and was told she was sending the
triplicate again.
In an interview on 11/30/23 at 11:30 AM, the Administrator and Regional Operations Manager stated there
was no policy regarding reordering medications. The Administrator said the medications should have been
ordered and they knew the resident had missed 9 doses of regularly scheduled hydrocodone 7.5.mg. They
said the nurse should have informed the ADON or DON and the emergency meds should have contained
the correct dose for the resident. The Administrator said they failed to have the appropriate medications on
hand, in the emergency dispenser, and the staff did not tell anyone they needed to be ordered - they said
this was a concern and placed the resident in harm due to missing their pain

medication. The Administrator and Regional Operations Manager stated the Regional Nurse Consultant
was at home and ill.
A telephone interview with the Medical Director on 11/30/23 at 12:08 PM revealed he was Resident #36's
attending physician. He stated he had been made aware of an issue with Resident #36's prescription and
had just stopped by the facility and provided an order for a one-time dose of pain medication for her while
the prescription was sorted out with pharmacy. He stated he was aware she had chronic pain issues which
was why he had previously consulted pain management physician. He stated he had not been notified
before today there was any issues with her medication availability. He stated Resident #36 had bad arthritis.
He stated he had not had any issues or concerns regarding residents receiving their medications.
During an interview on 11/30/23 at 12:12 PM, the DON provided a list of all facility residents receiving pain
medications. She stated she had conducted an audit of all medication carts and ensured all residents
receiving pain medications had medications available.
During an interview on 11/30/23 at 12:16 PM with ADON D stated she should check pain scales when
residents receive pain medications and every shift. She stated she recalled checking Resident #36 on
Tuesday, 11/28/23 and she was sleeping so she coded a 0/10. She could not recall what time she checked
her or if she checked her again during her shift. She did not respond when asked about coding Resident
#36's pain level as a 0 on 11/29/23 and again that morning, even though we had both seen she was in
pain. She stated Resident #36 received her last dose of hydrocodone on Tuesday, 11/28/23. ADON D was
shown Resident #36's MAR and asked to clarify because the last dose was signed out on Monday,
11/27/23 at 7:00 PM. ADON D stated she would check her computer. She stated she contacted the
pharmacy on Wednesday, 11/29/23 and was told the medication had been ordered and was enroute. She
stated when it hadn't arrived at the end of her shift, she let LVN F know the medication was not there. She
confirmed she did not notify the physician the medications were unavailable.
An interview on 11/30/23 at 2:09 PM with LVN H revealed he worked the 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM shift and
had cared for Resident #36. He stated the day shift had reported her hydrocodone was not available. He
stated he discussed the situation with Resident #36 and let her know she had PRN medications available.
LVN H stated Resident #36 would sometimes sleep through her dose hydrocodone on his shift and he did
not recall her complaining of pain during his shift. He stated lately she had been sleeping better since
getting scheduled medications. LVN H stated, if scheduled medications were not available for
administration, he would report the information on the 24-hour report, but Resident #36's information had
already been documented. He stated if she had been acting like she was in pain or throwing a fit he would
have called the physician. When asked about his rating of her pain as 7/10 on her MAR for his shift, LVN H
stated, What they say, may or may not be what's happening. He stated he provided other means for relief
such as repositioning. LVN H stated medications should be ordered 3-5 days ahead of time to ensure
availability.
In a telephone interview on 11/30/23 at 5:00 PM, NP J confirmed she worked under a pain management
specialist. She stated she had received a request to refill Resident #36's hydrocodone on 11/27/23 and
sent the prescription to the pharmacy the same day. She stated, for some reason, the prescription did not
go through. NP J stated she knew Resident #36 well and she needed her pain medication. She stated the
nurses usually sent the request further ahead of time, two to three days before because the pharmacy
takes a few days to fill it. She stated the nurses knew they should order it at least two to three days ahead.
NP J stated she did not know when Resident #36 received her last dose but when she was told it was still
unavailable, she called the pharmacy right away. She stated she did not

Interviews were conducted on 12/1/23 from 3:40 PM to 4:05 PM with direct care nurses including ADON E,
1 GVN, 1 RN and 2 LVNs. The staff indicated they had been in-serviced on pain management including
assessments, medication administration and documentation. The staff stated they would contact the
attending physician and DON immediately if any medications were unavailable and check the E-kit for
availability. The staff stated medications should be re-ordered one week in advance of the last dose.
In an interview on 12/1/23 at 4:20 PM, ADON D stated she had received in-service training from the
Regional Nurse Consultant. She stated medications should be re-ordered a week ahead of the last dose
available. ADON D stated the failure to administer scheduled medications was a medication error. She
stated residents who did not receive their ordered pain medications are at risk of suffering more from pain.
She stated the resident's physician and DON should be notified of any medication errors.
In an interview on 12/1/23 at 4:18 PM, the DON revealed she had been in-serviced by the Regional Nurse
Consultant and was still in progress in-servicing all staff. She stated medications should be ordered
approximately a week in advance. The DON stated all nurses should be assessing residents for pain every
shift and as needed. She stated residents should also be assessed around the administration of pain
medications and treatments. She stated she was also in-servicing CNAs regarding pain assessments as
well. She had instructed them to report any signs of pain to the charge nurse and to come to her if they felt
the resident's pain was not managed. She stated she had begun auditing pain assessments and will
continue to monitor to ensure completion. The DON stated, if medications were not available, the nurses
should check the E-kit for availability. She stated she printed the inventory and placed it with the E-kit
machine so that nurses could more quickly check availability. If the medication was not available, the nurse
should contact the physician and the DON to obtain an order. The DON stated any medication errors were
to be reported immediately to the physician and herself and monitor the resident. She stated she was
responsible for investigating and documenting the errors. The DON stated all staff currently working had
received their in-service training. All staff not yet trained will receive in-service prior to beginning their next
shift.
During an interview on 12/1/23 at 4:50 PM, the Regional Director of Operations stated he felt all the
problems identified came down to communication. He stated medication issues should start with the nurse
and move up the chain. He stated he had periodically attended the facility stand-up meeting and planned to
attend more regularly a[TRUNCATED]

During an observation and interview on 11/30/23 at 8:15 AM, Resident #36 was in her room, in her bed,
she was frowning and asked if state surveyor could check on her medications for her. She stated she had
not been getting her medicine for about four days, the staff kept telling her they were waiting for the
pharmacy delivery. She stated the medication was hydrocodone for her pain. Resident #36 stated her legs,
knees, and feet were very painful and they were not giving her anything for it. She shook her head,
motioned toward her legs and rubbed her thighs. She stated she had been complaining of pain to the staff
for days and they won't do anything! Resident #36 appeared upset and asked state surveyor to please let
me know what is happening because no one will tell me anything! Resident #36's roommate, Resident #22,
stated she had heard Resident #36 complaining of pain for the past couple of days and confirmed the staff
had been telling her they were waiting for the pharmacy. She stated she did not have any medication issues
herself but was worried about her roommate.
During an observation and interview with ADON D and ADON E on 11/30/23 at 8:20 AM, ADON D
confirmed she had cared for Resident #36 that week and stated the resident did not have any hydrocodone
available on 11/29/23 and she had previously called NP J about it who told her she had sent the
prescription to the pharmacy. She stated she called the pharmacy on 11/29/23 and was told it would be on
the next delivery, but it was not. ADON D stated today is day two when asked how long she had been out of
hydrocodone. ADON D stated Resident #36 was receiving scheduled doses of gabapentin and had muscle
relaxers and Tylenol extra strength ordered as needed. When asked about an emergency medication kit

(E-kit), ADON D stated they previously had a box and had recently been switched to a Pyxis (machine that
distributes medication) and stated they were just filling it. ADON D checked a computer and stated
Resident #36's last dose was 11/28/23. She stated she would call the pharmacy and check the E-kit, then
walked away. ADON E was working with a medication cart and confirmed it was the cart that contained
Resident #36's medications. She stated she was just coming on and did not know anything about her
situation. The medication cart was checked with ADON E and she confirmed there was no hydrocodone
available for her. When asked how often medications were re-ordered for residents, ADON E stated she
usually reordered when a resident was down to about 15 tablets or half a card just to be safe. She stated
she may order them earlier if a resident takes multiple doses per day.
On 11/30/23 at 8:28 AM, ADON D returned and stated she just checked the E-Kit and it only contained
hydrocodone 5 mg and 10 mg tablets, and Resident #36 took 7.5 mg tablets. She stated she would contact
the pharmacy again.
During a follow-up interview and observation with Resident #36 on 11/30/23 at 8:30 AM, she stated she
had not been given anything else for pain. ADON D entered the room during the interview and asked
Resident #36 if she was in pain. Resident #36 stated she was hurting bad and rated her pain 10/10. When
ADON D told the resident she had muscle relaxers and Tylenol available, Resident #36 replied, You know I
don't want that Tylenol, it doesn't do anything! ADON D presented her cell phone and pointed out her text
messages and stated she had texted NP J on Monday (11/27/23), told her about the scheduled
hydrocodone and informed her there was only one tablet left. When asked if that meant she had not
received any doses since Monday, ADON D did not answer, walked away toward her office, and took a
phone call. Once off the phone, ADON D stated she had called NP J again on 11/29/23 (Wednesday)and
told her the medication was not available. She stated she had checked the E-Kit on 11/29/23 as well but did
not inform the pain doctor there were other dose strengths available.
Interview with the DON on 11/30/23 at 9:26 AM revealed she had been just made aware of Resident #36's
lack of available hydrocodone that morning. She stated she had just hung up with NP J and the Medical
Director and they were getting a one-time order for hydrocodone 10 mg and pulling one from the E-kit while
they get the issue resolved. She stated NP J told her she had sent the prescription to the pharmacy earlier
in the week. The DON said she called the pharmacy, and they told her they had not received it. She stated
the Medical Director was in the process of sending one at that time. The DON explained controlled
medications, like hydrocodone, require special triplicate prescriptions. She stated they normally do not
require them for refill order as the physicians will order a six-month supply. The facility has authorized
agents, like herself, who can order refills. She explained, in this instance, Resident #36 did not have any
more refills and required a new prescription. She stated normally either the pharmacy would have notified
her, or the Charge Nurse would have notified the physician. The DON stated ADON D told her she had
notified NP J prior to the medication running out.
The DON stated she knew Resident #36 had Tylenol available as well as muscle relaxers but did not know
if any had been administered. She stated she would not consider Tylenol Extra Strength to be a suitable
replacement for hydrocodone but Resident #36 had muscle relaxers ordered as well and she expected her
pain to be managed in some form or fashion. The DON sated she did not know if Resident #36's pain had
been monitored and said it should have been monitored and documented on the MAR. The DON stated she
was aware the E-kit had been stocked but, unfortunately, did not have the hydrocodone 7.5 mg dose
available that had been ordered for Resident #36. She stated she did not know if anyone had told NP J or
the Medical Director there were alternate doses available in the E-kit. The DON stated, if a resident ran out
of pain medication, she expected the nurses to check the E-kit, look for back-up medications or other PRN
orders available for the resident. If the medications were not

effective, she expected the nurses to notify the physician. When asked if she was aware this was a
scheduled medication, she stated she was not, but her expectations would be the same.
The DON explained medication reorders were discussed in their stand-up meetings. If a nurse ordered a
medication, it was written on a board and followed for three days. She was not aware of Resident #36's
medication. She stated they had missed their stand-up meeting on 11/28/23 as the survey began that day
so that possibly contributed. She stated there was no facility policy for medication reorders, but she
expected her nurses to use their judgement and order medications three to five days ahead of time. The
DON stated pain monitoring and medication administration were important because she wanted everyone
to be comfortable and pain free for quality of life. She stated, My expectation is for my staff to take care of
the patients and manage their pain appropriately.
The DON stated medications could be ordered any time of day. When asked about other nurses caring for
Resident #36 during the last three days, the DON identified LVN G and LVN I as agency nurses and LVN H
as working night shift and PRN. She stated she had the same expectations for Agency nurses as she had
for facility staff. She stated, I would think they would know as nurses not to let residents go without pain
medications. It is very easy to reorder medications in [the computer software]. She stated the failure was of
the nurse who first ordered it to notify her and that did not happen. The DON stated they try to keep their
E-kit stocked with whatever medications residents have ordered. When it was noted hydrocodone 7.5 mg
was not available, they should have tried to contact the physician for an alternative.
Observation and interview with Resident #36 on 11/30/23 at 11:10 AM revealed she was resting in bed with
her eyes closed and responded to voice. She stated she had received some medication and was feeling
better. She stated she was grateful because I have been asking for days.
During a follow-up interview on 11/30/23 at 11:16 AM, ADON D showed her cell phone with text messages.
She identified the texts as being between herself and NP J. The text was dated Monday, 11/27/23 at 1:49
PM and reflected, Hey, [Resident #36] has 2 hydrocodone 7.5-325 can you please reorder? The text
response reflected, Ok. ADON D stated she called NP J again today and was told she was sending the
triplicate again.
In an interview on 11/30/23 at 11:30 AM, the Administrator and Regional Operations Manager stated there
was no policy regarding reordering medications. The Administrator said the medications should have been
ordered and they knew the resident had missed 9 doses of regularly scheduled hydrocodone 7.5.mg. They
said the nurse should have informed the ADON or DON and the emergency meds should have contained
the correct dose for the resident. The Administrator said they failed to have the appropriate medications on
hand, in the emergency dispenser, and the staff did not tell anyone they needed to be ordered - they said
this was a concern and placed the resident in harm due to missing their pain medication. The Administrator
and Regional Operations Manager stated the Regional Nurse Consultant was at home and ill.
A telephone interview with the Medical Director on 11/30/23 at 12:08 PM revealed he was Resident #36's
attending physician. He stated he had been made aware of an issue with Resident #36's prescription and
had just stopped by the facility and provided an order for a one-time dose of pain medication for her while
the prescription was sorted out with pharmacy. He stated he was aware she had chronic pain issues which
was why he had previously consulted pain management physician. He stated he had not been notified
before today there was any issues with her medication availability. He stated Resident #36 had bad arthritis.
He stated he had not had any issues or concerns regarding residents

residents receive pain medications and every shift. She stated she recalled checking Resident #36 on
Tuesday, 11/28/23 and she was sleeping so she coded a 0/10. She could not recall what time she checked
her or if she checked her again during her shift. She did not respond when asked about coding Resident

pain. She stated Resident #36 received her last dose of hydrocodone on Tuesday, 11/28/23. ADON D was
shown Resident #36's MAR and asked to clarify because the last dose was signed out on Monday,
11/27/23 at 7:00 PM. ADON D stated she would check her computer. She stated she contacted the
pharmacy on Wednesday, 11/29/23 and was told the medication had been ordered and was enroute. She
stated when it hadn't arrived at the end of her shift, she let LVN F know the medication was not there. She
confirmed she did not notify the physician the medications were unavailable.
An interview on 11/30/23 at 2:09 PM with LVN H revealed he worked the 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM shift and
had cared for Resident #36. He stated the day shift had reported her hydrocodone was not available. He
stated he discussed the situation with Resident #36 and let her know she had PRN medications available.
LVN H stated Resident #36 would sometimes sleep through her dose hydrocodone on his shift and he did
not recall her complaining of pain during his shift. He stated lately she had been sleeping better since
getting scheduled medications. LVN H stated, if scheduled medications were not available for
administration, he would report the information on the 24-hour report, but Resident #36's information had
already been documented. He stated if she had been acting like she was in pain or throwing a fit he would
have called the physician. When asked about his rating of her pain as 7/10 on her MAR for his shift, LVN H
stated, What they say, may or may not be what's happening. He stated he provided other means for relief
such as repositioning. LVN H stated medications should be ordered 3-5 days ahead of time to ensure
availability.
In a telephone interview on 11/30/23 at 5:00 PM, NP J confirmed she worked under a pain management
specialist. She stated she had received a request to refill Resident #36's hydrocodone on 11/27/23 and
sent the prescription to the pharmacy the same day. She stated, for some reason, the prescription did not
go through. NP J stated she knew Resident #36 well and she needed her pain medication. She stated the
nurses usually sent the request further ahead of time, two to three days before because the pharmacy
takes a few days to fill it. She stated the nurses knew they should order it at least two to three days ahead.
NP J stated she did not know when Resident #36 received her last dose but when she was told it was still
unavailable, she called the pharmacy right away. She stated she did not know the script never went
through. NP J stated Resident #36 had orders for [muscle relaxer] and Tylenol as well and the nurses could
have administered those. She stated, if the resident was in severe pain, the nurses could have called her for
an E-kit order.
Record review of Resident #36's progress notes revealed the most recent nurse's entry was dated
11/13/2023. The following entries were made after surveyor inquiry:
11/29/2023 9:14 AM: [Recorded as Late Entry on 11/30/2023 08:35] This writer spoke with pain

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection
prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to
help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 of 5
residents (Resident #68) observed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure clean linen closets were kept sanitary.
2. ADON D failed to complete hand hygiene while providing wound care to Resident #68
These failures could place residents at risk of cross-contamination resulting in infections.
Findings included:
1. An observation of the Clean Linen Closet in the Secured Unit, on 11/28/23 at 11:48 AM revealed a pair of
white running shoes on the bottom shelf, resting on top of clean linen.
In an interview on 11/28/23 at 12:23 PM, CNA B said the clean linen closet should only contain clean linen.
She stated she did not know why running shoes were in the closet. She said the laundry staff stocked the
closet and all staff were responsible to ensure the closet was kept clean to prevent cross-contamination.
In an interview on 11/30/23 at 9:49 AM, the DON stated she expected laundry staff to ensure only clean
linens were in the Clean Linen Closets. She said running shoes on the shelf along with clean linens posed
a potential risk of cross-contamination.
In an interview on 12/1/23 at 2:41 PM, the Housekeeping/Laundry Supervisor stated only clean linens
should be kept in the Clean Linen Closets. He said the shoes were likely sent to laundry and returned to the
Unit cleaned and placed in the linen closet. He said they should be returned to the resident's room. He said
the shoes in the Clean Linen Closet posed a risk of cross contamination. He stated laundry staff stocked
clean linen in the closet. He said he had done verbal in-services on handling linens but did not have a
record of the time or date.
Record review of the facility's undated Laundry and Linen Storage Policy, policy reflected: Clean laundry
must be handled in such a way that contamination is avoided during transport and storage. Clean linen
should always be stored in a clean, dry designated area, preferably in a purpose-built cupboard. It is the
responsibility of the person disposing of the linen to ensure it is segregated properly.
2. Review of Resident #68's face sheet dated 11/30/2023 reflected the resident had the following
diagnoses, pressure ulcer of unspecified heel Stage 4, pressure ulcer of right heel Stage 4, chronic kidney
disease, Stage 4 (severe), lack of coordination and muscle weakness (generalized).
