have parameters but would hold if his blood glucose was low. LVN N stated she had not contacted Resident
#51's physician about holding his Lantus. LVN N stated she had used her nursing judgment from the history
she had with Resident #51. LVN N stated her nursing judgement was based on the Texas Board of Nursing.
LVN N stated she had never adjusted the units ordered for Lantus and the physician should have been
contacted if the units were changed. LVN N stated the negative impact to residents for not following
physician orders could have been residents could have been running high blood sugars, high blood sugars
decrease wound healing, blood pressures be altered, could be eating and drinking more because sugars
running high, and could have gone into diabetic coma.
During an interview on [DATE] at 10: 30 AM the DON stated her expectation was that nursing staff follow
physician orders, if they make any changes to medication dosage, they should have contacted the
physician and document conversation with Dr and his recommendations. The DON stated she had been the
DON at the facility for the past 2 years. The DON stated she had received training (when she started at
facility and from her nursing education) and her staff had received training on how to administer insulin. The
DON stated nursing staff were trained as part of their checked off at hire and during the yearly
competencies. The DON stated Lantus was a long-acting insulin. The DON stated the units of Lantus was
based on each resident's needs. The DON stated nurses should have followed the physician's order. The
DON stated if nurse felt they needed to hold Lantus they should have contacted the physician and the
conversation with the physician should have been documented in Resident's progress notes or on the
MAR. The DON stated the standard of practice the facility followed was the Board of Nursing standards of
Practice. The DON stated the negative impact to residents for not following physician orders could have
been not having good control of blood glucose, which could have been hard on the body, that could have
led to detrimental effects if blood glucose was too high or too low

for too long. The DON stated what led to failure of LVN N not contacting physician was LVN N had worked
at facility for several months and knew the physicians orders and parameter and got complacent of what his
normal parameters are and it did not trigger to contact the physician. The DON stated she did not know of
any of her nurses who would have changed medication dosage without speaking to physician first, the
failure happened because staff did not document those conversations. The DON stated changing
medications dosage without speaking with physician would be nurses practicing out of their scope, this
could have caused detrimental effects to residents.
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:27 am the MD stated his expectation was that nursing staff follow
orders and contact him with any changes. The MD stated he did not have an issue with holding Lantus with
a blood glucose below 100. The MD stated the Lantus dosage should not have been altered unless he was
contacted. The MD stated Resident #51 missing the doses of Lantus did not have an adverse effect on
resident.
During an interview on [DATE] at 03:38 PM RN F stated she had adjusted Resident #51's Lantus before
based on his blood glucose and if he was going to eat a snack or not. RN F stated another nurse had told
her it was ok to give him lower dose. RN F stated she did not know if she had messaged the physician or
she failed to document conversation with physician. RN F stated at another facility a resident died because
their blood glucose bottomed out, she stated she guessed that incident skewed her judgement.
During an interview on [DATE] at 8:13 PM the ADMN stated his expectation was nurses should have
contacted physician before holding and/or changing dosage of medication. The ADMN stated residents
could have been affected by infections not getting better, worsen, insulin being held could have caused
them to have extremely low or extremely high blood glucose. The ADMN stated what led to failure was
nurse staff used their judgement because they felt they knew the resident's routine and their blood sugar
ranges. The ADMN stated his expectation was staff's documentation be done accurately, correctly and
thorough. The ADMN stated staff should never assume someone else was going to complete a treatment
and documents for them or you should not click prior to completing a treatment. The ADMN stated what led
to failure was she had gotten busy and forgot to perform the task/treatment. The ADMN stated the effect on
residents could have been treatments missed, infections or wounds could have gotten worse. The DON and
the ADON were responsible for monitoring to ensure staff were performing tasks/treatment.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:18 PM the MDS Coordinator stated that if a resident was PASSAR
positive it should have been incorporated in the Comprehensive care plan. The MDS Coordinator stated
she was responsible for ensuring the comprehensive care plans were complete. The MDS Coordinator
stated she did not have an excuse to why the documents had not been uploaded into the care plan.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:36 PM the DON stated the goal boxes should have been checked in the
blanks and was an oversight the template had not been completed. She stated there were templates that
the MDS applied, with it not being finished. The DON stated the potential for harm possibly could have been
not giving the proper care to residents.
The DON stated the facility protocol was for staff to go look at the Care Plans and should have been caught
by now. She stated the negative impact for residents was staff not knowing exactly what they were
supposed to be working on for them.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:30 PM the ADON stated the DON should have monitored as well as

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
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment remained as
free of accident hazards as possible and each resident received adequate supervision and assistance
devices to prevent accidents for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #28) reviewed for accidents and supervision.
The facility failed to ensure CNA and NA locked (legs MUST BE in the maximum OPENED/LOCKED
position) the Hoyer (mechanical) lift during the transfer of Resident #28.
This failure could place residents at risk of injuries.
Findings included:
Review of Resident # 28's face sheet dated 06/14/2024 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE]
and his latest admission on [DATE].
Review of Resident #28's diagnosis revealed: Hypertension (high blood pressure), Lack of coordination,
and Diarrhea.
Review of Resident # 28's MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed, Section C- Cognitive Behavior a BIMS
score of 15 (cognitively intact). Section H-Bladder and Bowel, resident always incontinent. Section
GG-Functional Abilities and Goals, Dependent - Helper does ALL the effort. Resident does none of the
effort to complete the activity. Or the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete
the activity. Chair/bed-to-chair transfer: The ability to transfer to and from a bed to a chair (or wheelchair).
During an observation on 06/12/2024 at 10:15 AM, CNA L and the NA did not lock the Hoyer (mechanical)
lift while Resident #28 was being transferred from his bed to his WC.
During an interview on 06/12/2024 at 10:28 AM with CNA L, she stated she was supposed to have locked
the Hoyer lift while transferring the resident from the bed to his WC. She stated she had never locked the
Hoyer (mechanical) lift prior to this time as well.
During an interview on 06/12/2024 at 11:00 AM with the ADON, she stated all nursing staff were trained on
the Hoyer (mechanical) lift. She stated CNA L should have applied the brakes on the lift which would have
prevented a possible fall. She stated the brakes should have been locked while lifting the resident from the
bed as well as being placed in his wheelchair during all Hoyer (mechanical) lift transfers. The ADON stated
she checks the CNAs and NAs off on their skilled checkoff sheets with the DON to aid in random checks
when needed. She stated her last trainings for the Hoyer (mechanical) lifts were 02/27-02/29 2024. She
stated not having the Hoyer (mechanical) lift locked, when needed, could have harmed the resident by
tipping over with the resident being hurt. She stated the failure occurred with CNA L not having taken the
time to calm herself as she was being watched. The ADON stated she could not have said why the NA went
in for resident care as she had not assigned her to that hall. She stated her expectations were for the Hoyer
(mechanical) lift to have locked breaks.

tubing to be timed and dated when it was hung. She did not know why tubing was not timed and dated. She
stated the powdered medication in vial should have been activated by popping the seal from IV bag to
powdered vial, then mixing into the solution in IV bag prior to medication being administered. She stated
she had personally checked off LVN A on IV medication administration and did not know why she failed to
mix medication into the bag. She stated that sometimes the pharmacy would send already mixed
medication in solution and LVN A may have thought it was already mixed. She stated not mixing medication
meant that resident did not get antibiotic as ordered and she had instructed LVN A to call physician to notify
of missed dose. The DON stated she monitored IV medication was given correctly.
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:21 a.m., LVN A stated she had administered IV medication that
morning. She stated she hung medication with new tubing but did not label tubing with date or time. She
stated the central line dressing should be intact and tight to skin. She stated she would change the central
line dressing. LVN A stated loose central line dressing could cause resident to have infection and should be
sealed. She stated she did not mix up the medication from vial into IV bag because it was coming
premixed, and she thought medication was in the bag without her having to mix it. She stated not mixing
the medication meant that resident did not get antibiotic dose.
During an interview on [DATE] at 12:28 p.m., the Pharmacy Director with contracted pharmacy the facility
used stated the pharmacy record showed as long as the pharmacy had been filling meropenem (antibiotic)
medication to Resident #7, the facility had received medication in a snap together vial. He stated typically it
was an insurance issue on how the medication was filled. He stated the pharmacy had written instructions
on the bag label to activate vial prior to use but no separate instructions were sent to the facility. He stated
the effect of facility staff not activating vial would interfere with mixing the medication and no antibiotic
would have been infused if it was not activated prior to infusion. He stated the effect on the resident would
be she would have gotten hydration with a little bit of sodium, and it would not have harmed her. He stated
whatever the medication in the vial was prescribed to treat, would not have been treated and could have
interfered with wound healing if Resident #7 missed doses.

During a follow up interview on [DATE] at 02:49 p.m., the DON stated IV Certificate education should
include management of the IV access site including central lines, and administration of IV medication
including how to prepare medication. The DON stated IV Certification education was provided outside of
the facility, but the curriculum matched what the contracted pharmacy had in their training. She stated no
other residents in the facility had IV medication ordered currently that had to be activated prior to
administration currently. The DON stated she talked to the nurse that was responsible for changing the
central line dressing on [DATE]. She stated LVN B told her the central line dressing was not changed by
LVN B due to there was a treatment nurse that day and LVN B assumed the treatment nurse would change
the dressing. The DON stated she expected the nurses signing the MAR to verify that all treatments had
been performed prior to leaving for the day and LVN B had been in-serviced on that. She stated Resident
#7's wound had been healing and the surgeon had been pleased with the progress. She stated Resident #7
continued to have a wound vac in place and no impaired healing had been observed. The DON stated the
facility reached out to Resident #7's attending physician that prescribed medication to notify her of the
delayed meropenem dose and the facility was awaiting response. She stated the Medical Director of facility
had been informed of delayed meropenem dose and new order obtained for medication dose to be
rescheduled for 1300, 2100, and 0500 because of the medication error earlier.
During a follow up interview at [DATE] at 03:30 p.m., LVN A stated it had been over a year ago when she
was certified on IV medication and that she would assume that the IV Certification went over mixing IV
medication. LVN A stated in the last month and a half she had been floating and working in different areas
and times. She stated she usually did not work on the hall Resident #7 resided on and she had filled in 2
nights shifts on that hall. She stated she did notice the central line dressing was loose prior to administering
IV meropenem medication that morning but had not noticed the date on the dressing. She stated the
central line dressing was not secured to the skin and she had planned to change the dressing after
medication had been administered. She stated central line dressing being loose could cause site infection.
She stated she had administered meropenem to Resident #7 previously and medication had been
delivered premixed with no need to activate the vial. She stated she did not feel that any negative outcome
occurred to the resident from central line dressing not being changed or medication error. She stated she
had called the Medical Director when she could not get ahold of the ordering physician, and a new order
was received to administer another dose at 1:00 pm so that Resident #7 did not miss a dose, and then
retime medication every 8 hours after the 1:00 p.m. dose.
During a phone interview on [DATE] at 04:32 p.m., the Medical Director stated he expected staff to follow
pharmacy instructions when administering medications. He stated that he was not familiar with the specifics
of IV medication that had snap together vials but that he expected nurses to be trained on how to prepare
medications that were being administered. The MD stated the effect of not getting meropenem as ordered
for sepsis or infection may aggravate the infection and could have caused a flare up from the infection or
relapse of an ongoing infection. He stated he assumed the nurses and the ADON, and the DON were who
monitored medication was given as directed. He stated he was notified that medication was delayed and he
did give directions to give medication and readjust every 8 hours with new time so that medication would
not be missed. He expected IV tubing to be changed per protocol and not changing tubing could lead to
secondary infection. He stated he expected tubing and medication bag to be labeled with a date because
staff will get busy and may forget when bag / tubing was hung. He stated he expected central line dressings
to be changed every 7 days per protocol and that it would be changed if dressing was compromised. He
expected that dressing be secured to the skin and not changing could lead to secondary infection and

not return call.

During an attempted phone interview on [DATE] at 10:48 a.m., LVN D did not answer the phone and a
message to return the call was left. The LVN D did not return call.
During an attempted phone interview on [DATE] at 10:51 a.m., LVN B did not answer the phone and there
was no option to leave a voice message.
During a phone interview on [DATE] at 10:54 a.m., LVN C stated he had worked for the facility on and off for
the last 3 years. He stated that if medication came with instructions to activate vial prior to use, there was a
blue stem that needed to be snapped to break the seal. LVN C stated after seal broken then he would get
NS into vial and mix with powdered medication. He stated the mixed liquid and medication in the vial would
be drained back into IV bag prior to being administer. He stated he did not remember any of Resident #7's
IV medication being delivered to facility pre-mixed, but the pharmacy had done that in the past for other
residents. He stated when medication is pre-mixed, it is time sensitive so medication would only be
delivered in lesser amounts. He stated he had not noticed medication not being prepared per instructions.
He stated if medications were not mixed prior to administration, the effect on the resident would be that they
only received hydration. He stated central line dressings should be changed once a week and as needed.
He stated central line dressing would need to be changed if it was loose and could become looser with
clothing changes. He stated the effect of not changing central line dressings every 7 days or as needed is
hard to determine because if the dressings were still sealed, he believed the port of entry would not be
exposed in some cases, but it could lead to skin breakdown from skin not being allowed to breath. He
stated he had not changed the central line dressing and that if he had signed that he had performed it was
signed in error. He stated he would sign off on task in MAR prior to performing task and would have made
his best effort to perform the task. He stated the error may have been due to there are a lot of distractions
in the facility and may have forgotten to perform. He felt that the facility had enough staff and was not
shorthanded. He stated that distractions resulted from him trying to make himself available to all residents
and would be approached routinely by residents even if they were not assigned to him and he would
attempt to help them.
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:15 a.m., LVN F stated she had worked at the facility for a little over a
year. LVN F stated she had IV medication training prior to working at the facility and had a refresher on
[DATE]. She stated if the medication label stated activate vial prior to use that meant the nurse must break
seal then mix with the saline prior to IV administration. She stated Resident #7's IV medication had never
come from pharmacy pre-mixed. LVN F stated she had not had any concerns about other nursing staff
related to administering IV medication administration. She stated that not activating vial prior to medication
administration could cause Resident #7 to not get medication, her wound may not have healed quickly, or
the infection to become worse. She stated the central line dressing should be replaced every 72 hours. She
stated nurses should change the central line dressing if dressing was loose, and not changing as ordered
or as needed could cause infection. She stated nurses should document treatment performed in MAR after
the nurse had completed the treatment.
During a phone interview on [DATE] at 11:18 a.m., RN E stated that she was the nurse at the IDP's office.
She stated her expectation would be for central line dressing changes to occur every 7 days

or prn for any soiled, loose, wet dressings. She stated loose meant that insertion cite was exposed by clear
part of dressing becoming compromised. She stated the central line dressing site should be monitored
every shift. RN E stated the effect of not changing the central line dressing routinely and as needed would
cause highly increased risk for central line infection in the blood stream. She stated IDP was using
meropenem to treat an active infection and she expected IV antibiotics to be administered per physician's
orders. She stated IDP should be notified when IV antibiotics were missed, or medication was delayed, and
she had not received any notification from the facility of the medication error. She stated the effect of
missing or delaying doses of meropenem could cause Resident #7's active diagnosis to be not treated
properly, delayed healing, cause the infection to worsen, and risk hurting the resident. Could also cause
prolonged antibiotic treatment, rehospitalization, and incision site failure. RN E stated she was unsure if
missing antibiotic doses would cause any risk for surgery hardware failure. She stated the failure of not
administering antibiotics as ordered could expose residents to extended treatments. RN E stated she had
made two attempts to contact facility requesting lab results as IDP ordered lab CBC w/Diff (a blood test that
measures red blood cell count, white blood cell count and platelet count), CMP (a blood test that measures
the body's fluid balance, electrolytes like sodium and potassium, and how well the kidneys and liver are
working), ESR (a blood test that measures the level of inflammation in the body), CRP (a blood test that
can measure a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation or infection in the body) labs to be
drawn weekly on Monday while on IV therapy. At that time, she stated she had not received any lab results
from the facility and as a result IDP planned on drawing labs in their office during post hospitalization visit.
During a follow up interview on [DATE] at 2:49 p.m., the DON stated the only labs that the facility had drawn
from Resident #7 were done on [DATE]. She stated the facility had gotten a call from IDP office requesting
labs on [DATE] and she did not know that labs had not been performed. She stated the facility should have
drawn labs as ordered and the order would have been found on hospital discharge paperwork. She was
unsure how often the order was for at that time. She stated the facility would be drawing labs when resident
returned from physicians' visits in another town and would send results to IDP office. She stated it was her
expectation that documentation in EMR be done after treatment had been performed. She stated she did
not know why nurses had documented without performing the treatment. She stated nurses should not
document something another nurse had stated they had performed. She stated the effect on the resident
could be missed treatments. She stated that she monitors treatments are done by running EMR reports that
would show when treatment had been missed and observing staff perform treatments.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:51 p.m., LVN B stated she had worked for the facility for 3 years in
[DATE]. She stated she had received IV antibiotic medication administration training. LVN B stated when an
IV was labeled activate prior to use and it was the antibiotic that Resident #7 used, the nurse should have
snapped the connection from IV bag to vial, squeezed solution from IV bag into vial and mixed with powder,
then with bag upside down squeezed bag to allow mixed solution into IV bag to prepare medication prior to
it being infused. She stated she had not remembered seeing any premixed medication in the facility for
Resident #7 after her most recent hospitalization. LVN B stated she had not had any concerns about other
nursing staff not activating IV medication, but she would usually be the nurse who started medication dose
in the morning with fresh tubing, so night nurse would not leave empty medication bag for her to observe.
She stated tubing should be changed every 24 hours. She stated when new IV tubing was used then it
should have a date, time, and nurses initial on it so that other staff know when it was first used. She stated
missing IV antibiotic dose could cause Resident #7 to have longer healing time

and would be considered a medication error. She was unsure what policy stated about central line dressing
frequency but stated that it should be changed as ordered and prn when dressing was loose. LVN B stated
not changing central line dressing when ordered or needed could cause another type of infection and
significant problems by leaving area open for bacteria to get into insertion site. She stated she worked on
[DATE] and she did sign that central line dressing had been changed since the facility had a RN performing
treatments that day and she thought the RN changed the dressing. She stated usually the RN treatment
nurse would let her know treatment had been performed and she would sign that it had been completed.
She stated that she should have verified by observing central line dressing had been changed and did not
remember why she did not verify it prior to signing that it was completed in MAR. She stated she had been
in-serviced about central line dressings yesterday on changing dressing per orders and verifying treatment
done prior to checking off it had been performed. She stated she should not check off treatments she had
not performed.
During a follow up interview on [DATE] at 3:00 PM, the DON stated there were no labs drawn for Resident
#7 since being discharged from the hospital and admitted into facility. She stated she expected the nurse to
look at the EMAR to know when the lab was ordered and that if a nurse signed off the EMAR that lab was
collected after procedure had been performed. She stated the nurse should send lab to the hospital if they
signed off that lab was collected. She stated the order revealed labs were to be drawn by an RN as it was to
be drawn from central line and should have been done weekly. The DON stated it was her as DON that did
the lab trackers and with the nurses being flagged in the EMAR to alert them to draw the labs. She stated
there would be potential harm to the resident based off of her labs not being drawn, which could have
caused the resident to have become septic.
During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 3:26 p.m., LVN D stated she had worked for the facility for four or
five years. She stated she had completed IV class but did not remember the date of original training, but the
DON had a copy of certification. She stated she had received more training in IV administration on [DATE].
LVN D stated when an IV was labeled activate prior to use the seal needed to be broken and medication in
vial mixed with solution from IV bag prior to administration. She stated the pharmacy had only delivered IV
antibiotic medication that needed to be activated for Resident #7 since her most recent surgery. She stated
she had no concerns about other nursing staff not mixing antibiotic medication prior to administering. She
stated the effect of not mixing IV antibiotic could cause resident to not to get medication that she needed,
and medication would not help whatever Resident #7 receiving medication for. She stated she believed the
central line dressing needed to be changed every 7 days but would have to look at facility policy to verify
that information. She stated the central line dressing would need to be changed if it had become loose,
soiled, or damaged to prevent infection by bacteria getting under the dressing. She stated she assessed the
dressing every time she administered IV medication and at least once a shift. LVN D stated she only
documents completion of treatment in MAR when she completed the treatment that was ordered.
During an attempted telephone interview on [DATE] at 3:52 p.m., Resident #7's emergency family member
could not be reached with directions. The phone number dialed was not a working number.
During a follow-up interview on [DATE] at 4:04 p.m., the DON stated Resident #7 was back from the ID
physician's appointment and orthopedic surgeon's appointment. She provided paperwork the facility had
received from ID physician's appointment but stated orthopedic surgeon did not send any additional
paperwork from office visit. She stated that she was not sure why a new order from ID physician for PO
antibiotic after IV antibiotic was completed. She stated Resident #7 was alert and more than likely would be
able to answer basic questions about office visits. The DON stated she had started the afternoon dose of IV
meropenem when the resident

During a follow up observation and interview on [DATE] at 4:09 p.m., Resident #7 sat in wheelchair in her
room with an immobilizing brace on her left leg. IV pump on and alarm beeped with IV tubing connected to
her central line. A staff member entered the room and informed the resident that she had notified the nurse
of the pump alarm, and she was not allowed to touch the pump. IV meropenem had been pre-mixed prior to
infusion and tubing labeled with paper tape. Resident #7 stated that she had a plastic surgeon appointment
scheduled for [DATE] and that appointment was made prior to her ID physician and orthopedic surgeon's
appointments. She stated she did not know why ID had ordered oral antibiotic in addition to IV antibiotic.
Resident #7 stated that the orthopedic surgeon did not think that the wound vac had been healing her left
knee surgical wound and that was why she was scheduled to see plastic surgeon tomorrow to discuss
surgical options. She stated she was nervous about having another surgery since she almost died during
the last surgery. The call light was in reach.
Residents Affected - Some
Record review of summary of infectious disease physicians visit dated [DATE] revealed: Complete IV
antibiotic on 6/20 as scheduled and we will send orders to remove PICC line. Start Levaquin 500mg PO
daily on 6/21. Follow up with orthopedic surgeon in 6 weeks .next appointment [DATE].
During a follow up interview on [DATE] at 11:12 a.m., the DON stated she did not think that increased WBC
lab value on [DATE] had anything due to IV antibiotic administration and stated there was no way of proving
Resident #7 had any missed doses just the delayed dose on 6/10. She stated she thought the WBC lab
could have been related to Resident #7's emotional distress on [DATE] or how the DON drew the lab. The
DON stated that she may have drawn lab too quickly and she believed that may have affected lab value.
She stated the facility faxed over lab results to IDP office and she would call and speak with RN E at the
clinic to see how IDP interpreted the lab results. She stated at that time she had no information on how IDP
had interpreted the lab value. She stated that she had spoken to the orthopedic surgeon's office who stated
oral antibiotic daily after IV antibiotic would need to be administered for the remainder of resident's life. She
stated she was told that the antibiotic may change to different antibiotic medication, but the resident would
need treatment for the rest of her life.
During a follow up interview on [DATE] at 03:12 p.m., Resident #7 stated she was seen by plastic surgeon
for her left knee wound. She stated during the plastic surgeon's appointment, she was told the surgeon
recommended a skin graft and if the graft did not work then they wanted to amputate. She said that she did
not want an amputation.
During an attempted telephone interview on [DATE] 11:23 a.m. with the MD, the MD did not answer and a
message to return call was left.
During an attempted telephone interview on [DATE] 11:23 a.m. with the IDP nurse, RN E, RN E did not
answer and a message to return call was left.
During an interview on [DATE] at 08:13 p.m., the ADMN stated he expected staff to not sign off on
treatments unless they verified the treatment was done. He stated staff should not sign off on treatments
prior to performing them. The ADMN stated that he expected dressings to be looked at to verify the date on
the dressing and assess the site. He stated he felt the failure occurred due to staff becoming busy and had
intention of performing but then forgot. The ADMN stated ADON monitors that treatments are performed,
and DON was who monitored also. He stated the effect of not performing treatments could lead to infection.

*ACTIVATE VIAL PRIOR TO USE*. In the vial white powder (meropenem 1 gram) was observed and was
dry. No date and time were written on IV tubing or on IV bag and it was being infused at 100 mL/hr using IV
pump. There was approximately 25 mL left of NS in bag. The central line dressing loose, pulled away from
skin toward bottom of the dressing, was not sealed to maintain sterile environment and moved when
Resident #7 lifted shirt. Resident #7 stated she did not know when the dressing had been changed last.
She stated she did not remember if facility staff had ever changed out the dressing. Date observed on
central line dressing to be [DATE].
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:14 a.m., the DON stated the powdered medication in vial should have
been activated by popping the seal from IV bag to powdered vial, then mixing into the solution in IV bag
prior to medication being administered. She stated she had personally checked off LVN A on IV medication
administration and did not know why she failed to mix medication into the bag. She stated that sometimes
the pharmacy would send already mixed medication in solution and LVN A may have thought it was already
mixed. She stated not mixing medication meant that resident did not get antibiotic as ordered and she had
instructed LVN A to call physician to notify of missed dose. The DON stated she monitored IV medication
was given correctly.
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:21 a.m., LVN A stated she had administered IV medication that
morning. She stated she hung medication with new tubing but did not label tubing with date or time. She
stated the central line dressing should be intact and tight to skin. She stated she would change the central
line dressing. LVN A stated loose central line dressing could cause resident to have infection and should be
sealed. She stated she did not mix up the medication from vial into IV bag because it was coming
premixed, and she thought medication was in the bag without her having to mix it. She stated not mixing
the medication meant that resident did not get antibiotic dose.
During an interview on [DATE] at 12:28 p.m., the Pharmacy Director with contracted pharmacy the facility
used stated the pharmacy record showed as long as the pharmacy had been filling meropenem (antibiotic)
medication to Resident #7, the facility had received medication in a snap together vial. He stated typically it
was an insurance issue on how the medication was filled. He stated the pharmacy had written instructions
on the bag label to activate vial prior to use but no separate instructions were sent to the facility. He stated
the effect of facility staff not activating vial would interfere with mixing the medication and no antibiotic
would have been infused if it was not activated prior to infusion. He stated the effect on the resident would
be she would have gotten hydration with a little bit of sodium, and it would not have harmed her. He stated
whatever the medication in the vial was prescribed to treat, would not have been treated and could have
interfered with wound healing if Resident #7 missed doses.
During a follow up interview on [DATE] at 02:49 p.m., the DON stated IV Certificate education should
include management of the IV access site including central lines, and administration of IV medication
including how to prepare medication. The DON stated IV Certification education was provided outside of
the facility, but the curriculum matched what the contracted pharmacy had in their training. She stated no
other residents in the facility had IV medication ordered currently that had to be activated prior to
administration currently. The DON stated she talked to the nurse that was responsible for changing the
central line dressing on [DATE]. She stated LVN B told her the central line dressing was not changed by
LVN B due to there was a treatment nurse that day and LVN B assumed the treatment nurse would change
the dressing. The DON stated she expected the nurses signing the MAR to verify that all treatments had
been performed prior to leaving for the day and LVN B had been

in-serviced on that. She stated Resident #7's wound had been healing and the surgeon had been pleased
with the progress. She stated Resident #7 continued to have a wound vac in place and no impaired healing
had been observed. The DON stated the facility reached out to Resident #7's attending physician that
prescribed medication to notify her of the delayed meropenem dose and the facility was awaiting response.
She stated the Medical Director of facility had been informed of delayed meropenem dose and new order
obtained for medication dose to be rescheduled for 1300, 2100, and 0500 because of the medication error
earlier.
During a follow up interview at [DATE] at 03:30 p.m., LVN A stated it had been over a year ago when she
was certified on IV medication and that she would assume that the IV Certification went over mixing IV
medication. LVN A stated in the last month and a half she had been floating and working in different areas
and times. She stated she usually did not work on the hall Resident #7 resided on and she had filled in 2
nights shifts on that hall. She stated she did notice the central line dressing was loose prior to administering
IV meropenem medication that morning but had not noticed the date on the dressing. She stated the
central line dressing was not secured to the skin and she had planned to change the dressing after
medication had been administered. She stated central line dressing being loose could cause site infection.
She stated she had administered meropenem to Resident #7 previously and medication had been
delivered premixed with no need to activate the vial. She stated she did not feel that any negative outcome
occurred to the resident from central line dressing not being changed or medication error. She stated she
had called the Medical Director when she could not get ahold of the ordering physician, and a new order
was received to administer another dose at 1:00 pm so that Resident #7 did not miss a dose, and then
retime medication every 8 hours after the 1:00 p.m. dose.
During a phone interview on [DATE] at 04:32 p.m., the Medical Director stated he expected staff to follow
pharmacy instructions when administering medications. He stated that he was not familiar with the specifics
of IV medication that had snap together vials but that he expected nurses to be trained on how to prepare
medications that were being administered. The MD stated the effect of not getting meropenem as ordered
for sepsis or infection may aggravate the infection and could have caused a flare up from the infection or
relapse of an ongoing infection. He stated he assumed the nurses and the ADON, and the DON were who
monitored medication was given as directed. He stated he was notified that medication was delayed and he
did give directions to give medication and readjust every 8 hours with new time so that medication would
not be missed. He expected IV tubing to be changed per protocol and not changing tubing could lead to
secondary infection. He stated he expected tubing and medication bag to be labeled with a date because
staff will get busy and may forget when bag / tubing was hung. He stated he expected central line dressings
to be changed every 7 days per protocol and that it would be changed if dressing was compromised. He
expected that dressing be secured to the skin and not changing could lead to secondary infection and
insertion site infection risk.
During an attempted telephone interview on [DATE] at 10:25 a.m., the Attending Physician did not answer
the phone. Left message with office staff to please have her return phone call. The Attending Physician did
not return call.
During an attempted phone interview on [DATE] at 10:48 a.m., LVN D did not answer the phone and a
message to return the call was left. The LVN D did not return call.
During an attempted phone interview on [DATE] at 10:51 a.m., LVN B did not answer the phone and there
was no option to leave a voice message.

During a phone interview on [DATE] at 10:54 a.m., LVN C stated he had worked for the facility on and off for
the last 3 years. He stated that if medication came with instructions to activate vial prior to use, there was a
blue stem that needed to be snapped to break the seal. LVN C stated after seal broken then he would get
NS into vial and mix with powdered medication. He stated the mixed liquid and medication in the vial would
be drained back into IV bag prior to being administer. He stated he did not remember any of Resident #7's
IV medication being delivered to facility pre-mixed, but the pharmacy had done that in the past for other
residents. He stated when medication is pre-mixed, it is time sensitive so medication would only be
delivered in lesser amounts. He stated he had not noticed medication not being prepared per instructions.
He stated if medications were not mixed prior to administration, the effect on the resident would be that they
only received hydration. He stated central line dressings should be changed once a week and as needed.
He stated central line dressing would need to be changed if it was loose and could become looser with
clothing changes. He stated the effect of not changing central line dressings every 7 days or as needed is
hard to determine because if the dressings were still sealed, he believed the port of entry would not be
exposed in some cases, but it could lead to skin breakdown from skin not being allowed to breath. He
stated he had not changed the central line dressing and that if he had signed that he had performed it was
signed in error. He stated he would sign off on task in MAR prior to performing task and would have made
his best effort to perform the task. He stated the error may have been due to there are a lot of distractions
in the facility and may have forgotten to perform. He felt that the facility had enough staff and was not
shorthanded. He stated that distractions resulted from him trying to make himself available to all residents
and would be approached routinely by residents even if they were not assigned to him and he would
attempt to help them.
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:15 a.m., LVN F stated she had worked at the facility for a little over a
year. LVN F stated she had IV medication training prior to working at the facility and had a refresher on
[DATE]. She stated if the medication label stated activate vial prior to use that meant the nurse must break
seal then mix with the saline prior to IV administration. She stated Resident #7's IV medication had never
come from pharmacy pre-mixed. LVN F stated she had not had any concerns about other nursing staff
related to administering IV medication administration. She stated that not activating vial prior to medication
administration could cause Resident #7 to not get medication, her wound may not have healed quickly, or
the infection to become worse. She stated the central line dressing should be replaced every 72 hours. She
stated nurses should change the central line dressing if dressing was loose, and not changing as ordered
or as needed could cause infection. She stated nurses should document treatment performed in MAR after
the nurse had completed the treatment.
During a phone interview on [DATE] at 11:18 a.m., RN E stated that she was the nurse at the IDP's office.
She stated her expectation would be for central line dressing changes to occur every 7 days or prn for any
soiled, loose, wet dressings. She stated loose meant that insertion cite was exposed by clear part of
dressing becoming compromised. She stated the central line dressing site should be monitored every shift.
RN E stated the effect of not changing the central line dressing routinely and as needed would cause highly
increased risk for central line infection in the blood stream. She stated IDP was using meropenem to treat
an active infection and she expected IV antibiotics to be administered per physician's orders. She stated
IDP should be notified when IV antibiotics were missed, or medication was delayed, and she had not
received any notification from the facility of the medication error. She stated the effect of missing or delaying
doses of meropenem could cause Resident #7's active diagnosis to be not treated properly, delayed
healing, cause the infection to worsen, and risk hurting the resident. Could also cause prolonged

antibiotic treatment, rehospitalization, and incision site failure. RN E stated she was unsure if missing
antibiotic doses would cause any risk for surgery hardware failure. She stated the failure of not
administering antibiotics as ordered could expose residents to extended treatments. RN E stated she had
made two attempts to contact facility requesting lab results as IDP ordered lab CBC w/Diff (a blood test that
measures red blood cell count, white blood cell count and platelet count), CMP (a blood test that measures
the body's fluid balance, electrolytes like sodium and potassium, and how well the kidneys and liver are
working), ESR (a blood test that measures the level of inflammation in the body), CRP (a blood test that
can measure a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation or infection in the body) labs to be
drawn weekly on Monday while on IV therapy. At that time, she stated she had not received any lab results
from the facility and as a result IDP planned on drawing labs in their office during post hospitalization visit.
During a follow up interview on [DATE] at 2:49 p.m., the DON stated the only labs that the facility had drawn
from Resident #7 were done on [DATE]. She stated the facility had gotten a call from IDP office requesting
labs on [DATE] and she did not know that labs had not been performed. She stated the facility should have
drawn labs as ordered and the order would have been found on hospital discharge paperwork. She was
unsure how often the order was for at that time. She stated the facility would be drawing labs when resident
returned from physicians' visits in another town and would send results to IDP office. She stated it was her
expectation that documentation in EMR be done after treatment had been performed. She stated she did
not know why nurses had documented without performing the treatment. She stated nurses should not
document something another nurse had stated they had performed. She stated the effect on the resident
could be missed treatments. She stated that she monitors treatments are done by running EMR reports that
would show when treatment had been missed and observing staff perform treatments.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:51 p.m., LVN B stated she had worked for the facility for 3 years in
[DATE]. She stated she had received IV antibiotic medication administration training. LVN B stated when an
IV was labeled activate prior to use and it was the antibiotic that Resident #7 used, the nurse should have
snapped the connection from IV bag to vial, squeezed solution from IV bag into vial and mixed with powder,
then with bag upside down squeezed bag to allow mixed solution into IV bag to prepare medication prior to
it being infused. She stated she had not remembered seeing any premixed medication in the facility for
Resident #7 after her most recent hospitalization. LVN B stated she had not had any concerns about other
nursing staff not activating IV medication, but she would usually be the nurse who started medication dose
in the morning with fresh tubing, so night nurse would not leave empty medication bag for her to observe.
She stated tubing should be changed every 24 hours. She stated when new IV tubing was used then it
should have a date, time, and nurses initial on it so that other staff know when it was first used. She stated
missing IV antibiotic dose could cause Resident #7 to have longer healing time and would be considered a
medication error. She was unsure what policy stated about central line dressing frequency but stated that it
should be changed as ordered and prn when dressing was loose. LVN B stated not changing central line
dressing when ordered or needed could cause another type of infection and significant problems by leaving
area open for bacteria to get into insertion site. She stated she worked on [DATE] and she did sign that
central line dressing had been changed since the facility had a RN performing treatments that day and she
thought the RN changed the dressing. She stated usually the RN treatment nurse would let her know
treatment had been performed and she would sign that it had been completed. She stated that she should
have verified by observing central line dressing had been changed and did not remember why she did not
verify it prior to signing that it was completed in MAR. She stated she had been in-serviced

about central line dressings yesterday on changing dressing per orders and verifying treatment done prior
to checking off it had been performed. She stated she should not check off treatments she had not
performed.
During a follow up interview on [DATE] at 3:00 PM, the DON stated there were no labs drawn for Resident
#7 since being discharged from the hospital and admitted into facility. She stated she expected the nurse to
look at the EMAR to know when the lab was ordered and that if a nurse signed off the EMAR that lab was
collected after procedure had been performed. She stated the nurse should send lab to the hospital if they
signed off that lab was collected. She stated the order revealed labs were to be drawn by an RN as it was to
be drawn from central line and should have been done weekly. The DON stated it was her as DON that did
the lab trackers and with the nurses being flagged in the EMAR to alert them to draw the labs. She stated
there would be potential harm to the resident based off of her labs not being drawn, which could have
caused the resident to have become septic.
During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 3:26 p.m., LVN D stated she had worked for the facility for four or
five years. She stated she had completed IV class but did not remember the date of original training, but the
DON had a copy of certification. She stated she had received more training in IV administration on [DATE].
LVN D stated when an IV was labeled activate prior to use the seal needed to be broken and medication in
vial mixed with solution from IV bag prior to administration. She stated the pharmacy had only delivered IV
antibiotic medication that needed to be activated for Resident #7 since her most recent surgery. She stated
she had no concerns about other nursing staff not mixing antibiotic medication prior to administering. She
stated the effect of not mixing IV antibiotic could cause resident to not to get medication that she needed,
and medication would not help whatever Resident #7 receiving medication for. She stated she believed the
central line dressing needed to be changed every 7 days but would have to look at facility policy to verify
that information. She stated the central line dressing would need to be changed if it had become loose,
soiled, or damaged to prevent infection by bacteria getting under the dressing. She stated she assessed the
dressing every time she administered IV medication and at least once a shift. LVN D stated she only
documents completion of treatment in MAR when she completed the treatment that was ordered.
During an attempted telephone interview on [DATE] at 3:52 p.m., Resident #7's emergency family member
could not be reached with directions. The phone number dialed was not a working number.
During a follow-up interview on [DATE] at 4:04 p.m., the DON stated Resident #7 was back from the ID
physician's appointment and orthopedic surgeon's appointment. She provided paperwork the facility had
received from ID physician's appointment but stated orthopedic surgeon did not send any additional
paperwork from office visit. She stated that she was not sure why a new order from ID physician for PO
antibiotic after IV antibiotic was completed. She stated Resident #7 was alert and more than likely would be
able to answer basic questions about office visits. The DON stated she had started the afternoon dose of IV
meropenem when the resident returned to facility after she had drawn blood from central line for lab work.
During a follow up observation and interview on [DATE] at 4:09 p.m., Resident #7 sat in wheelchair in her
room with an immobilizing brace on her left leg. IV pump on and alarm beeped with IV tubing connected to
her central line. A staff member entered the room and informed the resident that she had notified the nurse
of the pump alarm, and she was not allowed to touch the pump. IV meropenem had been pre-mixed prior to
infusion and tubing labeled with paper tape. Resident #7 stated that she had a plastic surgeon appointment
scheduled for [DATE] and that appointment was made prior to her ID physician and orthopedic surgeon's
appointments. She stated she did not know why ID had ordered oral

antibiotic in addition to IV antibiotic. Resident #7 stated that the orthopedic surgeon did not think that the
wound vac had been healing her left knee surgical wound and that was why she was scheduled to see
plastic surgeon tomorrow to discuss surgical options. She stated she was nervous about having another
surgery since she almost died during the last surgery. The call light was in reach.
Record review of summary of infectious disease physicians visit dated [DATE] revealed: Complete IV
antibiotic on 6/20 as scheduled and we will send orders to remove PICC line. Start Levaquin 500mg PO
daily on 6/21. Follow up with orthopedic surgeon in 6 weeks .next appointment [DATE].
During a follow up interview on [DATE] at 11:12 a.m., the DON stated she did not think that increased WBC
lab value on [DATE] had anything due to IV antibiotic administration and stated there was no way of proving
Resident #7 had any missed doses just the delayed dose on 6/10. She stated she thought the WBC lab
could have been related to Resident #7's emotional distress on [DATE] or how the DON drew the lab. The
DON stated that she may have drawn lab too quickly and she believed that may have affected lab value.
She stated the facility faxed over lab results to IDP office and she would call and speak with RN E at the
clinic to see how IDP interpreted the lab results. She stated at that time she had no information on how IDP
had interpreted the lab value. She stated that she had spoken to the orthopedic surgeon's office who stated
oral antibiotic daily after IV antibiotic would need to be administered for the remainder of resident's life. She
stated she was told that the antibiotic may change to different antibiotic medication, but the resident would
need treatment for the rest of her life.
During a follow up interview on [DATE] at 03:12 p.m., Resident #7 stated she was seen by plastic surgeon
for her left knee wound. She stated during the plastic surgeon's appointment, she was told the surgeon
recommended a skin graft and if the graft did not work then they wanted to amputate. She said that she did
not want an amputation.
During an attempted telephone interview on [DATE] 11:23 a.m. with the MD, the MD did not answer and a

During an interview on [DATE] at 08:13 p.m., the ADMN stated he expected staff to not sign off on
treatments unless they verified the treatment was done. He stated staff should not sign off on treatments
prior to performing them. The ADMN stated that he expected dressings to be looked at to verify the date on
the dressing and assess the site. He stated he felt the failure occurred due to staff becoming busy and had
intention of performing but then forgot. The ADMN stated ADON monitors that treatments are performed,
and DON was who monitored also. He stated the effect of not performing treatments could lead to infection.
