**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services including procedures that
assured accurate administering of all drugs to meet the needs of residents for 1 of 8 residents (Resident
#1) reviewed for pharmaceutical services, in that:
The facility did not reorder Resident #1's Anastrozole for chemo treatment timely, resulting in Resident #1
missing 3 doses (06/21/24, 06/22/24, and 06/23/24) of Anastrozole.
The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The PNC began on 06/24/2024 and ended on 06/25/2024. The
facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began.
These failures could place residents who receive medications administered by the facility at risk of not
receiving the intended therapeutic benefit of their medication.

06/24/2024 to the home with diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes mellitus (trouble controlling blood
sugar and using it for energy), atrial fibrillation (abnormal electrical impulses), heart failure (heart muscle
does not pump blood), chronic kidney disease stage 3 (less able to filter waste and fluid of your body), and
hemiplegia and hemiparesis (muscle weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the body).
Record review of Resident #1's discharge MDS assessment, dated 06/24/2024, revealed Resident #1 had
a BIMS score of 14, indicating no cognitive impairment.

06/23/24 because the medication was not available.
Record review of Medication Error Report, dated 06/24/2024, revealed the facility DON completed

06/23/24 because the medication was not available, and corrective actions taken were conducting audit
with medications to all residents, counseling with nurses involves, in-services to nursing staff regarding
medication refill on time, and revised daily audit process.
Record review of the facility investigation report, dated 06/25/2024, revealed the facility DON notified
Resident #1's oncologist regarding the resident not receiving Anastrozole for 3 days, and the oncologist
stated missing 3 doses has no harmful side effects and to just continue taking it as scheduled, and the
medication is completely separate from the resident's chemo and no bearing on the resident's ability to
start back up on chemo treatment.
Record review the facility's in-service, dated 06/24/2024, revealed the facility DON completed providing
in-services regarding re-ordering meds, med not available, missing meds and notifying to physician if meds
not available to all nursing staff (nurses, medication aides, and CNAs).
During an interview on 01/10/2025 at 1:39 p.m. with LVN-A, he stated he could not remember what reason
was for not giving Anastrozole to Resident #1 on 06/21/2024 because it was happened almost one year
ago and he did not work the facility anymore. If some medication was not available, LVN-A generally went to
the facility emergency kit and took the medication. If the emergency kit did not have the medication, he
generally called to pharmacy and DON or ADON to ask, but for this particular situation, LVN-A did not
remember.
During an interview on 01/10/2025 at 1:08 p.m. with the facility medical director, he stated he remembered
Resident #1's 3 days missing doses of the resident's Anastrozole because the facility DON called and
reported, and 3 days missing did not affect anything to the resident because the medication (Anastrozole)
was only preventive medication. The main purpose of the medication was prophylactic (intended to prevent
disease) effect. The medical director reviewed the correction actions from the facility after this incident
occurred and no issues were noted.
During an interview on 01/10/2025 at 1:00 p.m. with the DON, the DON said that when the DON performed
Resident #1's discharge on [DATE], the DON found the resident did not receive her Anastrozole on
06/21/2024, 06/22/2024, and 06/23/2024 because the medication was not available. The DON talked to
nurses who worked on those dates, and the nurse was LVN-A. The LVN-A was an agency nurse and did not
report regarding the medication not being available to the DON or ADON. The DON called to the agency
and said the nurse could not work at the facility anymore. The DON also called to the resident's oncologist
and notify it. The oncologist said 3 days missing of the medication did not affect the resident's condition.
Resident #1 did not have any negative or adverse reaction based on the resident's assessment on
06/24/2024. The DON conducted and completed providing in-services regarding re-ordering meds, med not
available, missing meds and notifying to physician if meds not available to all nursing staff (nurses,
medication aides, and CNAs) on 06/24/2024 and 06/25/2024. The DON and ADON also checked all
nursing and medication carts and found all medications were available. The DON conducted spot checks
and audit randomly if nurses followed the directions the DON provided to the in-service, and no issues
noted so far.
Record review of the facility policy, tiled Medication ordering and receiving from pharmacy provider, dated
11/13/2018, revealed Repeat medications (refills) are (written on a medication order from/ordered by
peeling the top label from the physician order sheet and placing it in the appropriate area on the order form)
provided by the pharmacy for that purpose and ordered as follows: a) reorder medication (seven) days in
advance of need to assure an adequate supply is on hand. b) the nurse who reordered the medication is
responsible for notifying the pharmacy of changed in directions for use
