Nurse (LN 1) confirmed the two DuoNeb vials in Resident 51's drawer and stated, they shouldn't be there,
and that the resident was not allowed to administer the breathing treatments himself.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/6/25 at 1:39 p.m., DON stated that an IDT
meeting is required to determine whether a resident can safely self-administer medications, along with a
physician order. DON acknowledged there was no IDT meeting for the authorization for Resident 51 to
self-administer medications.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Self- Administration of Medications,
revised February 2021, the P&P indicated, 1. As part of the evaluation comprehensive assessment, the
interdisciplinary team (IDT) assesses each resident's cognitive and physical abilities to determine whether
self-administering medications is safe and clinically appropriate for the resident.

irreversible damage to the airways and air sacs in the lungs causing breathing difficulties), and a
tracheostomy (an incision on the front of the neck to open a direct airway to breathe).
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 3/04/25 at 10:40 a.m. with Resident 27, Resident 27 stated the Acetylcysteine was
not administered on the night of 3/03/25 and in the morning (3/04/25). Resident stated, I need that
medication, I have breathing problems.
During an interview on 3/04/25 at 3:29 p.m. with RT1, RT1 stated Resident 27 received the acetylcysteine
twice on 3/03/25 during the 7 a.m. -7 p.m. shift but was unaware if the third treatment of acetylcysteine was
given by the nocturnal shift. RT1 acknowledged not being able to administer the acetylcysteine the morning
of 3/04/25 because there was no more acetylcysteine left. RT1 stated the medication refill was received on
3/04/25 in the afternoon.
During a review of Resident 27's Medication Administration Record (MAR, a legal record of the drugs
administered to a patient), dated March 1, 2025 - March 31, 2025, the MAR indicated, Resident 27 did not
receive acetylcysteine on 3/04/25 at 09:00 a.m. as scheduled. Further review of the electronic MAR notes

Resident 27 the Acetylcysteine Inhalation Solution 20 % that had just been received from the pharmacy.
After administering the inhalation medication, RT1 reviewed the MAR. The MAR indicated acetylcysteine
was administered at 1300 and the next scheduled dose was at 5:00 p.m. RT1 stated the acetylcysteine was
not given at 1300 because the resident prefers to have it done at 4:00 p.m. RT1 stated it was documented
as given in the electronic medical record so the MAR doesn't flag in red.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Policy and Procedure in Medication Administration, dated
January 2024, the P&P indicated in part, 1. Drugs must be administered in accordance with the written
orders of the attending physician .12. Medications must be immediately charted following the administration
by the licensed nurse that administers the medication .13. All medications will be administered following the
scheduled medication administration for medication for routine medications unless otherwise specified by

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
inspection of the facility's Medication storage room on Unit 3, interview with the facility's IP, and review of
the facility's policy and procedures the facility failed to: 1. follow their policy and procedure for sharps waste,
2. ensure that Emergency Drug supplies (E-Kits), had not been opened for more than 72 hours as outlined
in the facility's policy and procedure, 3. ensure that no expired medications were available for use, 4. ensure
that medications were administered in accordance with the hospital's policies and procedures and 5.
ensure that medications are immediately documented in the Medication Administration record (MAR) after
the administration of medications to a resident.
Findings include:
1) Inspection of the facility's Blue and white (non-controlled) waste containers (which were open, and not
closed or sealed), the surveyor found three syringes full of drugs with needles still attached to the syringes.
One syringe contained the dilutant for Glucagon (1 ml) and the other two syringes contained (Enoxaparin
40mg/0.4 ml). Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin (also known as an anticlotting drug).
During an interview with the facility's Infection Prevention Nurse (IP) on 3/4/2025 at 10:35 am, the IP stated
that the facility's P & P indicates that sharps (needle syringes) are not to be put into these containers
(non-controlled waste bins), which were open and not locked. [NAME] indicated that the facility's policy and
procedure labeled syringe and needle disposal, dated 1/2025 read: Policy, used syringes and needles are
disposed of safely and in accordance with applicable state laws and safety regulations .Immediately after
use, syringes and needles are placed into a puncture resistant, one-way containers specifically designed
for that purpose .the disposal containers are fitted with a lid that prohibits reaching into the container.
2) Further inspection of the medication storage room on Unit 3 revealed an Antibiotic Emergency drug kit
(E-Kit). This E-kit had been opened on 2/24/2025 at 5:00 pm when one of the facility's nursing staff had
retrieved Metronidazole 500mg capsules for unsampled resident 65. This emergency drug kit had not been
replaced since it had originally been opened on 2/24/2025. This E-Kit had not been replaced, as outlined in
the facility's policy and procedure for 8 days, after opening. Review of the facility's policy and procedure
entitled: Emergency Kit (E-Kit) Use, dated 1/2025, read: 6. The pharmacy is to be notified as soon as
possible that the E-Kit has been opened so that it can be replaced within 72 hours (3 days).
Additional inspection of the facility's Narcotic E-Kit on station 3, revealed that this E-Kit had been opened by
facility staff for the removal of Alprazolam 0.25 mg tablets on 2/20/2025 at 1:00 am for one resident. The
Narcotic E-Kit had been opened for 12 days, without being replaced, contrary to the facility's policy and
procedure above.
3) Inspection of the Director of Nurse's medication storage room on 3/4/2025 at 2:55 pm, revealed one
case of Ceftazidime 2-gram vials for reconstitution and injection (a total of 10 vials), with an expiration date
of 7/2024 (almost 8 months beyond the drug manufacturer's expiration date).
4) Interview with the medication Nurse on the facility's subacute station on 3/5/2025 and 3/6/2025 between
8:25 am and 11:00 am, revealed that these medication nurses (LVNs 1 & 3), indicated that all

Residents Affected - Some
of the medication Nurses, on all of the Nursing units within the facility, have to start passing their
medications to the residents, as early as 7:20 am and/or as late as 7:40 am (for medications which are due
at 9:00 am according to the physician orders), in order for the nurses to finish their medication
administration tasks in the morning, around 11:00 or 11:15 am. Concurrent interviews with Nursing staff on
Stations 1, 3, and 4 confirmed that they all have to start passing medications every morning about 7:20 am.
When these Nurses were asked why they had to start medication pass every day outside of the facility's
policy and procedure which is entitled: Policy and procedure in Medication Administration, dated 1/2025,
read: 4. Medication must and administered within one hour before or after administration time per M.D.
order. The 1 hour before or 1 hour after policy and procedure means that the medication nurse could start
passing their medications to the residents at 8:00 am and they must complete their medication pass by
10:00 am. The facility's policy and procedure above also read: 13. All medications will be administered
following the scheduled medication administration for routine medication unless otherwise specified by M.D.
which is different from the routine medication administration schedule. Review of the current physician's
orders revealed that, no physician orders had been written which specified any different times for the
administration of any medications.
All of the Nurses indicated that it was impossible for them to pass all of the morning medications timely, for
the following reasons: 1. each medication Nurse was also responsible for administering all of the treatments
on their station, 2. these medication Nurses were also responsible for any admissions which came onto the
unit, 3. medication Nurses were responsible for addressing any resident falls which occurred on their units,
4. Receiving and accepting any new medications and emergency drug kits which are being delivered to the
facility, these are just a few examples why these Medication Nurses are unable to provide the morning
medications to the residents. Further interview the Medication Nurses revealed that if the Medication
Nurses had additional help with some of these tasks, that they may be able to get the residents their
medications timely every day.
5) During an interview with Medication Nurse LVN 1, on 3/5/2025 at 11:15 am she acknowledged that she
goes back after giving her medications in the morning and signs for these medications, after she finishes
her medication passing the morning. She stated that: she does this in part because when she starts
passing medications before 8:00 am and if she enters these medication administrations into the facility's
computer then, these medications which had been given before 8:00 am, would get flagged by the
computer for these administration entries. This practice is also contrary to the facility's policy and procedure
entitled: Policy and procedure in Medication Administration, dated 1/2025, read: 12. Medications must be
immediately charted following the administration by the license Nurse who administered the medication.
This medication Nurse failed to follow this policy and procedure.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on Medication Pass observation, review of the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR)
and Physician's orders, Two out of two medication nurses observed for a total of 45 medication pass
opportunities. Out of these 45 medication pass opportunities, there were a total of 8 medication errors
which were observed. These 8 medication errors resulted in an overall medication error rate of 17.7% for
the facility.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
This LVN 3 administered medications to sample Resident 29 on 3/6/2025 at 9:00 am, which included
Divalproex DR 250 mg tablet. The medication nurse proceeded to crush all of this resident's medications
including this resident's Divalproex which had the designation of DR on the label of the bubble pack. Review
of the manufacturer's package insert for this medication read: .The tablets should be swallowed whole and
can be taken with or without food, Divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are intended for oral
administration. Divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets should be swallowed whole and should not be
crushed or chewed, based on the drug manufacturer Aidarex Pharmaceuticals LLC.'s package insert.
The DR on the product label stands for Delayed Release. By crushing this DR formulation, the Nurse
altered the delivery of this making it immediate release rather than delayed release, which this product had
been designed to be delivered. This resulted in one medication error.
During a medication pass observation on 3/5/2025 at 8:27 am with LVN 1, this nurse passed medications to
sampled Resident 63, this Medication Nurse administered 10 medications to this resident, with Cranberry
juice and Ready Care (Med Pass). Upon review of Resident's Physician's orders and Resident 63's
Medication Administration Record (MAR), the following 9:00 am medications had not been administered to
this resident as ordered by the resident's physician: 1. Cetizine HCL 10 mg, 2. Magnesium Oxide 400 mg,
3. MiraLAX 3350 Powder, 4. Thera tears Ophthalmic Solution 1 drop in both eyes, and 5. Cranberry Oral
tablet 450 mg. During an interview on 3/5/2025 at 11:15 am with the medication Nurse (LVN 1), this nurse
acknowledged that her medication process is to give all of her medications to the residents first and then go
back later to sign off all of the medications that she had previously given. The medication Nurse during the
interview on 3/5/2025 at 11:15 am was asked if she had given this resident any other medications to this
resident outside of the time that the surveyor had observed medication pass and the medication Nurse
indicated that she had only given Resident 63 medications when the surveyor had been present for that
morning. The medication Nurse had also been asked if she could recall giving any of the five medications
above to resident 63 on the morning of 3/5/2025 and the nurse confirmed that she did not remember giving
any of these medications to resident 63 that morning.
Medication Nurse (LVN 1) had also been observed during the medication pass, administering medications
to sampled Resident 27. The medication Nurse was observed administering Testosterone Gel 1.62 % to
Resident 27. Two pumps of the Testosterone had been administered to Resident 27, yet during a review of
the physician's order indicated that this resident should have only been administered 1 pump of
Testosterone. Resident 27 also received Diclofenac Sodium cream (approximately 1 inch in total)
[non-steroidal anti-inflammatory cream), which had been administered to both sides the resident's neck.
Review of the Physician's order, written on 8/28/2024 read: .apply 2 inches to affected area. The medication
Nurse only administered half of the dose of the Diclofenac to this resident. The culmination of these 8
medication errors resulted in this facility's medication error rate of 17.7%.

procedure.
Findings include:
Inspection of the facility's Medication refrigerator temperature logs for station 3 on 3/4/2025 at 4:10 pm
revealed that on 12/4/2024 the refrigerator temperature had been recorded as 35-degree Fahrenheit (which
was below the facility's policy range). Review of the facility's policy and procedure entitled: Policy and
Procedure on medication refrigerator temperature, date 1/2025, read: Per regulations, the Medication
refrigerator temperature range should be between 36 degrees Fahrenheit and 46 degrees. Further review
of the facility's refrigerator logs revealed that on 2/19/2025, that no temperature had been documented on
the facility's refrigerator temperature logs, so the facility was unable to indicate what the actual temperature
of the refrigerator was on that date.

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 maintain infection control practices when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Respiratory care equipment was not stored properly after use by Residents (4 and 27)
2. Oxygen plastic tubing and nasal cannula were not labelled according to the facility's policy for one of four
residents (Resident 27).
3. Personal protective equipment (PPE) was not available prior to entering resident rooms on contact
precautions in rooms [ROOM NUMBERS].
These facility failures had the potential to result in cross-contamination (the transfer of harmful bacteria)
that could impact residents' health and safety and cause preventable Healthcare Associated Infections
(HAI) for residents with compromised condition.
Findings:
1. During review of Resident 4's, admission Record (AD), the AD indicated diagnoses including
gastrostomy (an opening into the stomach from the abdominal wall used to insert a tube to provide a route
for tube feeding), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) following a cerebral infarction (blood flow to the brain is
interrupted), type 2 diabetes mellitus (chronic condition where the body does not use insulin properly or
does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels) with hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and
neuropathy (numbness, weakness, and pain from nerve damage), hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the
body) affecting the right dominant side.
During an observation on 3/04/25 at 10:02 a.m. in Resident 4's room, a nebulizer (a device that converts
liquid medication into a fine mist, allowing it to be inhaled directly into the lungs) with attached nose mask
and tubing were observed on top of a nightstand exposed and not covered.
During an interview on 3/05/25 at 08:20 a.m. with respiratory therapist (RT), RT stated that oxygen masks
and tubing must be stored inside a plastic bag with the resident's name when they are not in use.
During an observation and interview on 3/05/25 at 8:50 a.m. with the assistant director of nursing (ADON),
the ADON stated the facility's policy is to store nebulizer, ventilator, and oxygen equipment inside a plastic
bag when not in use. The ADON acknowledged resident 4's nebulizer mask was not stored appropriately
per facility policy.
2. During review of Resident 27's, admission Record (AD) the AD. indicated diagnoses including acute and
chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (difficulty breathing and not getting enough oxygen in the blood),
pseudomonas (bacteria that causes infections in people with weakened immune systems), chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (progressive and irreversible damage to the airways and air sacs in the
lungs causing breathing difficulties), methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus infection (bacterial infection
that is resistant to many common antibiotics), and tracheostomy (an incision on the front of the neck to
open a direct airway to breathe).
During an observation on 3/04/25 at 10:40 a.m. in Resident 27's room, oxygen tubing was wrapped

Keep all essential equipment working safely.
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 the exhaust hoses of the portable air
conditioning units (PACU) were properly installed as directed (not duct taped to the window frames) and
filters were routinely cleaned according to manufacturer's guidelines (MFU) in 12 of 12 PACU's found inside
Rooms 15, 20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,30, and 32.
Residents Affected - Some
This failure had the risk for entrapment in the event of a fire secondary to the windows becoming inoperable
due to exhaust hoses duct taped to the window frames, with the potential for poor air quality as filters were
not cleaned as directed.
Findings:
During an observation on 3/04/25 at 10:40 a.m. the slider kits (plastic frame where exhaust hoses are
attached) of the PACUs, inside Rooms 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, and 32 were noted to be
short in length, horizontally installed, and card boards were used to fill in the gaps in the windows. The
sliders were then duct taped to the window frames, preventing the windows to be opened when needed.
During a review of the PACUs MFU titled, Keystone KSTAP14B, indicated in part, the window slider kit can
be fixed with a bolt. Further review of the MFU, showed a window diagram of a window that can still be
closed and opened once the slider is fixed or bolted, with foam cut according to the slide kit's length and
placed/attached to the sliding window edge.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/06/25 at 3:40 p.m., with the facility's Maintenance
Supervisor (MS) was asked how often the air filters were cleaned, and why the exhaust hoses were duct
taped to the window frames preventing the windows to be opened, the MS stated the air filters on the
PACUs are cleaned every three months. The MS was not able to present any documentation or a tracking
method for the cleaning of air filters. The MS further stated, the slider kits the PACUs came with were for
smaller windows and not for the facility windows size/type.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 03/07/25 at 9:49 a.m. with the MS inside room [ROOM
NUMBER], the PACU's MFU was reviewed with the MS. Under the section for Care and Maintenance, the
MFU stated, Clean the air filter at least once every two weeks to prevent inferior fan operation because of
dust .This unit has two filters. Take the upper filter out .Remove the lower filter .Wash the air filter by
immersing in gently warm water (about 40 degrees Celsius/104 degrees Fahrenheit) with a neutral
detergent. Rinse the filter and dry it in a [NAME] place. The MS stated he was unaware the PACU's had two
filters or that cleaning had to be done every two weeks.
