- The facility shall ensure the resident's rights are not violated and copy of these rights and pertinent
policies are made available to the resident and to any representative of the resident. These rights, under

refuse treatment; (2) Consent to or to refuse any psychotherapeutic drugs; and (3) participate in care
planning;
- Physician's orders related to the use of psychotherapeutic drugs shall not be initiated until informed
consent is obtained from the physician or his/ her agent.
- The disclosure of material information and obtaining informed consent is the responsibility of the
physician, however, it can be coordinated with other care professionals. The material information is provided
to the resident or surrogate so they can make an informed choice and then consent to the
psychotherapeutic drugs;
- Informed consent is the voluntary agreement of a patient or a representative of an incapacitated resident
to accept treatment or procedure after receiving the material information.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Use of Psychotropic Drugs revised date 11/13/23, showed the residents
and/or representatives shall be educated on the risks and benefits of psychotropic drug use, as well as
alternative treatments/ non-pharmacological interventions.

record review for Resident 52 was initiated on 9/11/24. Resident 52 was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
and readmitted on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 52' H&P examination dated 3/26/24 showed Resident 52 had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 52's Order Summary Report for September 2024 showed a physician order dated
9/9/24, to administer clonidine hydrochloride (a medication used to treat high blood pressure) 0.1 mg one
tablet by mouth every eight hours as needed for hypertension if systolic blood pressure greater than 160
mmHg.
Review of Resident 52's MAR for September 2024 showed clonidine hydrochloride 0.1 mg one tablet was
given on 9/11/24 at 0541 hours, to Resident 52 and was documented effective; however, the documentation
failed to show the BP readings documented to show why the medication was given and effective.
Review of Resident 52's progress notes on 9/10/24, failed to show the resident's response to the clonidine
hydrochloride 0.1 mg given on 9/10/24 at 0541 hours.
On 9/12/24 at 1536 hours, an interview and concurrent record review was conducted with the IP. The IP
stated the licensed nurse should have followed up by checking Resident 52's BP.
On 9/13/24 at 1533 hours, an interview with the DON was conducted. The DON was informed and
acknowledged the above findings.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide
services to attain or maintain the highest practicable well-being for two of 18 final sampled residents
(Residents 37 and 52) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 621).
* LVN 3 failed to follow the physician's order to give furosemide (medication to treat fluid retention) 30
minutes before spironolactone-hydrochlorothiazide (medication to treat high blood pressure and fluid
retention) to Resident 621.
* Resident 37's physician's order was not followed when the physician was not notified of Resident 37's
weight changes.
* The licensed nurse failed to document the resident's BP when administered the as needed BP medication
to evaluate the effectiveness of medication.
These failures had the potential to compromise the health and safety of these residents.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Administration revised 2/13/17, showed the nurse shall read
and follow precautionary or additional instructions available on the prescription label (i.e., Shake Well, Give
on an Empty Stomach).

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
observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to provide the pharmaceutical services to ensure accurate reconciliation and disposal of medications.
* The facility failed to ensure the removed controlled medications for Resident 31 was documented in the
controlled drug record.
* The facility failed to ensure the discontinued controlled medication for Resident 670 was removed from the
current medication supply in Medication Cart B.
These failures had the potential for drug diversion of the controlled medications, and potential for
medication errors.
Findings:
According to Taylor's Fundamentals of Nursing, Seventh Edition, under Handling Controlled Substances
Safely, a record must be kept for each narcotic that is administered. Healthcare agencies provide forms for
keeping such records, and these forms are kept with the narcotics. Although the forms differ, the following
information usually is required: name of the resident receiving the narcotic, amount of the narcotic used,
hour the narcotic was given, name of the physician who prescribed the narcotic, and name of the nurse
who administered the narcotic. The nurse has a secure identification code that provides access into the
system, identifies the resident by name or identification number, and verifies the count for each drug as it is
removed.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Storage dated 11/29/23, showed for unused medications: the
pharmacy and all medication rooms are routinely inspected by the consultant pharmacist for discontinued,
outdated, defective, or deteriorated medications with worn, illegible, or missing labels. These medications
are destroyed in accordance with the destruction of unused drugs policy.
On 9/11/24 at 1115 hours, a concurrent inspection of Medication Cart B, interview, and medical record
review was conducted with LVN 3. Upon inspection of Medication Cart B, the following was observed:
a. A bubble pack of morphine (narcotic analgesic) 60 mg for Resident 31 was observed with 10 tablets.
Review of Resident 31's Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record for the morphine medication showed one
tablet of morphine medication was removed on 9/10/24 at 0900 hours, and the last count was 11 tablets of
morphine medication.
b. A bubble pack of oxycodone/ acetaminophen (narcotic analgesic) 10- 325 mg medication for Resident 31
was observed with 103 tablets.
Review of Resident 31's Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record for the oxycodone/ acetaminophen
medication showed one tablet of oxycodone/acetaminophen medication was removed on 9/11/24 at 0600
hours,

management; and
- To administer Percocet (brand name for oxycodone/acetaminophen) 10-325 mg one tablet by mouth six
times a day for pain management.
Review of Resident 31's MAR for Resident 31 showed the resident was administered the morphine
medication on 9/11/24 at 0900 hours, and Percocet medication on 9/11/24 at 1000 hours.
c. A bubble pack of hydrocodone/acetaminophen (narcotic analgesic) 5-325 mg medication with four tablets
for Resident 670 was observed inside the narcotic medications drawer with the current supply of
medications of other residents.
Medical record review for Resident 670 was initiated on 9/10/24. Resident 670 was readmitted to the facility
9/5/24.
Review of Resident 670's list of medications showed the hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg
medication was discontinued on 9/8/24.
LVN 3 verified the above findings. When asked about Resident 31's morphine and
oxycodone/acetaminophen medications, LVN 3 stated she administered the morphine and
oxycodone/acetaminophen medications to Resident 31. LVN 3 stated she did not sign the controlled drug
record after removing the medications from the bubble pack, nor the MAR after administering the
medications, but she usually signed the controlled drug record and MAR towards the middle of her shift.
When asked about Resident 670's hydrocodone medication, LVN 3 stated the medication was already
discontinued and should not be in the medication cart.
On 9/13/24 at 1338 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. When asked about documentation on
the controlled drug record and MAR, the DON stated the nurses should sign the controlled drug record as
soon as they removed the controlled medication from the bubble pack, then administered the medication to
the resident. After administering the medication, the nurses should sign the MAR. When asked about the
discontinued medication, the DON stated the medication should be removed by the nurses at the end of
their shift, and the medication should be brought to the DON. If the medication was discontinued on a
weekend, the nurses should have removed the discontinued medication from the medication cart on the
following weekday.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of five final
sampled residents reviewed for unnecessary medication (Resident 43) was free from unnecessary
psychotropic drugs.
* The facility failed to ensure the side effects were monitored for Resident 43 related to the use of
alprazolam (antianxiety medication). This failure posed the potential to negatively impact the resident's
well-being.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Use of Psychotropic Drugs revised date 11/13/23, showed the resident's
response to the medication(s), including progress towards goals and presence/absence of adverse
consequences, shall be documented in the resident's medical record.
Medical record review for Resident 43 was initiated on 9/10/24. Resident 43 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 43's Initial H&P evaluation dated 8/8/24, showed Resident 43 had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 43's Order Summary Report dated 9/12/24, showed a physician's order dated 9/6/24,
to administer alprazolam 0.5 mg one tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for anxiety manifested by
verbalization of feeling anxious for 14 days.
Review of Resident 43's MAR for September 2024 showed Resident 43 was administered the alprazolam
medication on 9/11/24 at 1836 hours.
Review of Resident 43's plan of care showed a care plan problem to address the resident's anxiety
manifested by verbalization of feeling anxious. The interventions included to monitor behaviors and monitor
side effects every shift.
Further review of Resident 43's medical record did not show documented evidence for the monitoring of the
side effects related to the use of alprazolam medication.
On 9/12/24 at 0835 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 43 was
conducted with RN 1. RN 1 verified the above findings. When asked about the monitoring for Resident 43's
behavior related to the use of alprazolam medication, RN 1 stated the monitoring of behavior was
conducted when the resident received the medication, which meant when the resident verbalized feeling
anxious, he received the medication. When asked about monitoring the side effects for Resident 43 related
to the use of alprazolam medication, RN 1 verified there was no documented evidence the side effects
were monitored for Resident 43 related to the use of alprazolam medication.

is at its best. Although it is a guide for quality, it could be based on food safety reasons. It is recommended
that food establishments consider the manufacturer's information as good guidance to follow to maintain the
quality (taste, smell, and appearance) and salability of the product. If the product becomes inferior
quality-wise due to time in storage, it is possible that safety concerns are not far behind.

ensure the facility's P&P titled Use of Food Brought Into the Facility was updated to address the use and
storage of foods brought to the residents by the family or visitors. In addition, the facility failed to ensure the
visitors were educated on safe food handling of outside food.
Residents Affected - Few
These failures had the potential to cause foodborne illnesses to the medically vulnerable resident
population who consume food brought from outside sources.
Findings:
1. Review of the CMS S&C-09-39 dated 5/29/09, showed the residents have the right to choose to accept
food from visitors, family, friends, or other guests according to their rights to make choices.
Review of the State regulations dated 2/3/23, showed the facility must have a policy regarding use and
storage of foods brought to the residents by family and other visitors to ensure safe and sanitary storage,
handling, and consumption.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Use of Food Brought Into the Facility revised 7/2023 showed it is the right
of the residents of this facility to have food brought in by family or other visitors, however, the food must be
handled in a way to ensure the safety of the resident. The P&P further showed all food items that are
already prepared by the family or visitor brought in must be for immediate consumption.
On 9/10/24 at 0940 hours, an interview with the RD was conducted. The RD stated the facility did not have
a resident refrigerator. The RD further stated the food brought from outside were for immediate
consumption.

food from visitors, family, friends, or other guests according to their rights to make choices. The CMS
guideline further shows the facility has the responsibility under the food safety regulation to help visitors to
understand safe food handling practices such as not holding or transporting foods containing perishable
ingredients at temperatures above 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
Further Review of the facility's P&P titled Use of Food Brought Into the Facility revised 7/2023 showed no
documented evidence of safe food handling instructions provided to the visitors or family bringing food from
outside.
On 9/12/24 at 1015 hours, an interview was conducted with the RD. When asked if the RD provided the
visitors information on safe food handling including proper hand hygiene, the RD verified she did not. The
RD stated the visitors were informed that the food brought from outside sources would be for the residents'
immediate consumption; however, the RD stated the visitors were not educated on the safe food handling.

rails for 16 of 53 residents with bed rails (Residents 1, 4, 8, 10, 16, 27, 37, 43, 52, 53, 56, 57, 320, 569,
620, and 669). These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents resulting in possible
entrapment, serious injury, and death.
Findings:
According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment, the
term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the
space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapments may result in deaths
and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the
bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot
boards. The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those
who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body
