Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure medications were administered according to
professional standards of practice for one of six sampled residents (Resident 1), when Resident 1 was not
administered medication metformin (medication used for the treatment of diabetes a condition in which
there is too much sugar in the blood), enoxaparin (medication used as a blood thinner to prevent blood
clots), and nystatin powder (medication used to treat a fungal infection) according to physician orders due
to medication unavailability in the facility.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in medication ineffectiveness resulting in blood clots that could have
led to stroke (interruption in blood supply to the brain) or death, high blood sugar or uncontrolled blood
sugar, and worsening of active fungal infection for Resident 1.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR- a summary of information regarding a resident
which includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family contact
information and other pertinent information), the AR indicated, Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnosis for cerebral infarction (condition in which blood flow to the brain is blocked, causing
brain tissue to die), diabetes (elevated blood sugar), seizures (uncontrolled jerking, loss of consciousness,
blank stares caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain), aphasia (disorder that affects a persons
ability to communicate).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set [MDS a resident assessment tool used to identify
cognitive (mental processes) and physical functional level assessment] dated 4/23/2025, the MDS
indicated, Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS screening tool used to assess resident
cognitive level) score was 15 out of 15 (0 - 7 indicated severe cognitive impairment [memory loss, poor
decision making skills] 8-12 moderate cognitive impairment, (13 -15) cognitively intact) which indicated
Resident 1 cognitively intact.
During a telephone interview on 6/5/25 at 11:49 a.m. with family member (FM) 1, FM 1 stated the facility did
not have enough medication enoxaparin to administer to Resident 1. FM 1 stated she did not have specific
dates but recalled the incident occurred in May 2025. FM 1 stated she recalled an incident when the facility
placed Resident 1 medication Enoxaparin on hold because they did not have enough of a supply to
administer. FM 1 stated there were other incidents with other medications not being administered by the
facility because of the lack of supply.
During a review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated May 2025, the MAR

(both) groin, scrotum, topically every 2 hours for fungal infection . The MAR indicated Resident 1 did not
receive medication enoxaparin on 5/28/25 and 5/31/25 per physician order. The MAR also indicated,
Resident 1 did not receive treatment order for medication nystatin powder, on 5/13/25 due to medication
unavailability. RN 1 stated medication enoxaparin was not administered on 5/28/25 & 5/31/25 because
medication was not available in the facility. RN 1 stated the medication nystatin powder was not
administered on 5/13/25 due to the medication not being available in the facility. RN 1 stated the reason for

process for reordering medications from the pharmacy was for the facility nurses to identify when the
medication had at least three days worth of doses and reorder medication at that point. The DON stated it

The DON stated the expectation was for the nurses to submit the pharmacy request and follow up with the
pharmacy to ensure request was received.
During a telephone interview on 6/6/25 at 1:37 p.m. with licensed vocational nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated
the facility process for reordering medications was for the nurse in charge of resident, to reorder
medications when there were two or three days worth of doses left. LVN 1 stated it was not acceptable to
wait to reorder medications when there were no doses left and then not administer medication to residents.
LVN 1 stated the importance of reordering medications and having enough to administer was to avoid
disruption of medication regimen and to ensure effectiveness of treatment.

minutes prior to or after scheduled time unless otherwise ordered by physician .
During a review of a professional reference (PR) titled, National Library of Medicine, dated 2025, the PR
indicated, . Right Time - administering medications at a time that was intended by the prescriber. Often,
certain drugs have specific intervals or window periods during which another dose should be given to
maintain a therapeutic effect or level. A guiding principle of this right is that medications should be
prescribed as closely to the time as possible, and nurses should not deviate from this time by more than
half an hour to avoid consequences such as altering bioavailability or other

2 had previous attempts of elopement from the facility. CNA 1 stated there was concern for Resident 2 due
to the unavailability of a facility monitoring system for residents at risk for elopement. CNA 1 stated the

process for monitoring Residents at risk for elopement was to observe residents every 15 minutes and
complete a head count every six hours. LVN 1 stated Resident 2 was the only resident who was assigned a
1 on 1 staff for monitoring. LVN 1 stated the facility would have benefited from other interventions to
effectively monitor residents as there were multiple residents in the facility at risk for elopement.

AA stated the back door of the dining room was observed unlocked and without an alarm when opened.

6 a.m. when opened. The RST stated the facility had an available receptionist Monday through Friday. The
RST stated the facility entrance door was monitored by the facility staff present on the weekends.
During an interview on 6/5/25 at 12:44 p.m. with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated there was a lack of monitoring in the

exit doors, but the system had been removed. CNA 2 stated, when Resident 2 eloped from the facility on
6/1/25, none of the facility door alarms sounded to alert staff that Resident 2 was leaving the facility and
