Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure the stop date and diagnosis and/or indication for use was appropriate prior to administering Rocephin, an antibiotic. This failure could place residents receiving medications at risk of a possible adverse drug reaction or hospitalization. Findings included: Record review of Resident #122's face sheet (undated) revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to facility on 02/10/2023. Her diagnoses included hepatic encephalopathy (a nervous system disorder brought on by severe liver disease). Record review of Resident #122's admission MDS dated [DATE] did not mention the BIMS score. Record review of Resident #122's baseline care plan dated 02/10/2023 revealed: Problem: Impaired skin integrity; Goal: Skin integrity impairment risk stabilized, decreased chances of skin breakdown; Implementation: Assess for adverse effects of medications. Resident was not care planned for receiving antibiotics. Record review of Resident #122's physician orders dated 02/11/2023 revealed an order for Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 1 gram daily at 9:00am.

F 0757 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete In an interview on 02/13/2023 at 9:30 a.m., this Surveyor reviewed Resident #122's physician order with the DON. The DON said the order for the ABT was missing the diagnosis and the stop date. She said she did not know why the resident was receiving the ABT. In a later interview on 02/13/2023 at 9:50 a.m., she said she texted Resident #122's doctor and he said the ABT was for hepatic encephalopathy. She said the doctor said he would come and add the stop date today. She said the system was when a resident was admitted to the facility the admission orders go to the physician electronically. The physician then noted agreement/changes/discontinued orders. Then the orders were sent to the pharmacy electronically. The pharmacy printed the medications on the MAR and medications were sent to the floor. They should always put a diagnosis for medications. This should have been caught by the pharmacy or the nurse. They would be responsible for ensuring the medications are correct. She said there was no direct policy or protocol for receiving orders for medications.
