Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure licensed nurses had the appropriate competencies
and skills sets to provide nursing services to care for residents' needs and ensure resident safety, in
accordance with professional standards of practice necessary for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #1) reviewed
for nursing competencies.
The facility failed to ensure LVN C was competent in medication administration when LVN C failed to ensure
Resident #1 was administered nitroglycerin (medication used to prevent or relieve chest pain caused by
coronary artery disease by relaxing blood vessels), as ordered by the physician on 02/04/24. LVN C
dispensed an entire bottle of nitroglycerin, which consisted of 25 (0.4 mg) tablets, to Resident #1 when the
physician order was for 1 (0.4 mg) tablet resulting in Resident #1 being sent to the emergency room.
Resident #1's initial blood pressure at the ER was 86/42.
The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The IJ began on 02/04/24 and ended on 02/05/24. The facility
corrected the noncompliance before the survey began.
This failure could place residents at risk to medication administration errors, not receiving the intended
therapeutic effects of the medications, and could contribute to adverse reactions resulting in a decline in
health, hospitalization, or death.
The findings included:
A record review of the American Heart Associations' guidance on Understanding Blood Pressure Readings,
last reviewed on 05/30/23, reflected a normal blood pressure reading would be 120/80. Accessed on
02/16/24 from
https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/high-blood-pressure/understanding-blood-pressure-readings
A record review of Resident #1's electronic Face Sheet dated 02/06/24 reflected Resident #1 was a [AGE]
year-old male, who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses that included need for
assistance with personal care, muscle weakness, unsteadiness on feet, and atherosclerotic heart disease
of native coronary artery (caused by plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that supply blood to the
heart).
A record review of Resident #1's Optional State Assessment MDS, dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 had
a BIMS score of 11, which indicated the resident's cognition was moderately impaired.
A record review of Resident #1's Physician Orders, dated 02/04/24, reflected Nitroglycerin
