Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to give one of three closed record sample residents
(Resident 205) the Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary Notice (SNF ABN/CMS 10055) (a form
which gave the choice to continue services under private pay if Medicare did not provide payment), with the
appeal contact information.
Residents Affected - Few
As a result, Resident 205 did not have the choice to appeal the decision or have knowledge of the costs to
continue treatment in the facility.
Findings:
Review of admission record indicated Resident 205 was admitted to the facility in March 2021 and was her
own responsible party.
Resident 205 was given a Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) letter on 4/13/21 and was signed
by Resident 205 on 4/13/21. The last covered date of Medicare Part A service designated in the letter was
4/15/21.
Review of the facility record titled, 2022 BENEFICIARY LIST_ RESIDENTS discharged WITHIN THE LAST
SIX MONTHS/MEDICARE PART A, indicated Resident 205 remained at the facility for 4 months and 11
days after the last covered day of Medicare part A service. The SNF ABN form was not given to Resident
205.
During an interview on 1/13/22, at 2:10 p.m., the Business Office Manager (BOM) stated Resident 205 had
65 remaining skilled days after last Medicare Part A service covered date 4/15/21. The BOM stated the
Minimum Data Set (MDS) nurse was responsible to issue the NOMNC and SNF ABN notices to the
residents.
During an interview on 1/13/22, at 2:15 p.m., the MDS nurse stated she was only giving NOMNC notice to
the residents. She added she did not know when to give the SNF ABN notice to the residents and who was
responsible to give the SNF ABN notice.
During an interview on 1/13/22, at 2:17 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) was not aware of the SNF ABN
form. She did not know who was responsible to issue the SNF ABN form to the residents and when.
During an interview on 1/13/22, at 2:24 p.m., the BOM stated as per their facility consultant the SNF ABN
form needed to be issued to the residents when they had remaining skilled days and they stayed in the
facility after last Medicare part A covered day. The BOM verified the SNF ABN form was not given to
Resident 205. She stated the SNF ABN notice should have been provided to Resident 205.

not conducted. She stated the facility must complete a significant change of condition status assessment
for a resident who transitions to hospice within 14 days. The MDS nurse further stated the MDS significant
change in status assessment should have been completed by 11/2/21 after Resident 7 elected hospice
services on 10/19/21.
During an interview on 1/13/22 at 10:14 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated an MDS significant
change in status assessment should have been done when Resident 7 elected hospice services. The DON
stated MDS assessments should be done timely as per CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid

concurrent interview and record review on 1/13/22, at 9:56 a.m., with the DON, Resident 14's Weights and
Vitals Summary and most current MDS were reviewed. The DON confirmed Resident 14's weight record
showed a 20.9 percent weight loss over 6 months on 10/3/21. A review of Resident 14's quarterly MDS,
dated [DATE], section Weight Loss, was marked as 0 which indicated Resident 14 did not have a significant
weight loss in the last 6 months. The DON confirmed the quarterly MDS was not accurate and should have
reflected Resident 14's significant weight loss.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services document titled, Long-Term Care Facility
Resident Assessment Instrument [RAI] 3.0 User's Manual, dated 10/19, indicated, .The RAI process has

the resident's status .
(https://downloads.cms.gov/files/mds-3.0-rai-manual-v1.17.1_October_2019.pdf)
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident assessments accurately
reflected a resident status for two out of fifteen sampled residents (Resident 4 and Resident 14) when the
quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool) were not accurate for Resident 4 and Resident
14.
These failures had the potential to negatively affect the care and services provided to Resident 4 and
Resident 14, due to the inaccurate assessment of their strengths, needs, and health status.
Findings:
1a. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/12/22, at 11:59 a.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 4's Weights and Vitals Summary was reviewed. The DON confirmed Resident 4's weight
record showed a 10.7 percent weight loss over 6 months on 11/7/21 and a 12.6 percent weight loss over 6
months on 12/5/21.
During a concurrent interview and record review on, 1/13/22, at 10:46 a.m., with the DON, Resident 4's
quarterly MDS section Swallowing/Nutritional Status, dated 12/19/21 was reviewed. The DON confirmed
the section Weight Loss was marked as 0 which indicated No . Loss of 5% or more in the last month or loss
of 10% or more in last 6 months . The DON stated the no answer was not accurate because Resident 4 had
more than a 10 percent weight loss in the last 6 months.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement a care plan for use of a
high-risk psychotropic medication (mind altering drug) for one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 48).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for Resident 48's needs to be unmet for safe and effective monitoring and
prevention of recurrent falls and injury.
Findings:
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident 48 was admitted to the facility in late 2021 with diagnosis of
fall with fracture of left radius (large bone in the forearm), weakness, and major depressive disorder.
A record review of Resident 48's physician order dated 12/28/21, indicated .Diazepam (mind altering
sedative drug) Tablet 5 MG (milligram-unit of measure) Give 1 tablet by mouth as needed for MUSCLE
SPASPMS [sic] TWICE DAILY .
Review of Resident 48's medical record titled Medication Administration Record (or MAR where doctor's
orders were tabulated electronically as a drug chart and serves as a legal record of the drugs
administered), with date range of 1/1/2022 to 1/31/22, the MAR indicated Diazepam was administered
three times on 1/2/22, twice on 1/3/22, once on 1/4/22, once on 1/5/22, once on 1/8/22, twice on 1/9/22,
once on 1/10/22, and once on 1/12/22. The MAR further indicated no monitoring of side effect or behavior
monitoring for the medication Diazepam.
A subsequent record review of Resident 48's care plan (provides direction on the type of nursing care the
resident may need based on their health and medication needs), with date range of 12/29/21 to 12/31/21,
the care plan did not indicate any nursing guidelines to monitor for safety precautions and adverse effects
of the diazepam, a high-risk psychotropic medication.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/12/22, at 4:12 p.m., in the DON's office, the
DON acknowledge a care plan should have been initiated because diazepam could contribute to risks of fall
due to its effect on causing unsteady gait and mental confusion.
During an interview with Resident 48 on 1/13/22, at 8:44 a.m., Resident 48 stated she was taking diazepam
at home for relief of anxiety [not for muscle spasms].
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION-GENERAL
GUIDELINES, dated October 2019, the policy indicated, Monitoring of side effects or medication-related
problems occurs continually, but particularly after medication administration.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, MEDICATION MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT,
dated October 2019, the policy indicated, Facility staff monitor the resident for possible medication-related
adverse consequences, including mental status and level of consciousness.

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and revise a comprehensive nutrition
care plan which included measureable goals and interventions related to weight loss for one of fifteen
sampled residents (Resident 14).
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 14's nutritional needs not being met.
Findings:
A review of Resident 14's nutrition assessment, dated 4/5/21, indicated Resident 14 was admitted to the
facility with a feeding tube (a tube placed in the stomach to deliver nutrition and hydration) and weighed 163
pounds. The Registered Dietician (RD) documented the goal for Resident 14 was to maintain a consistent
weight of plus or minus five pounds (158-168 pounds).
During an interview on 1/11/22, at 2:58 p.m., the RD confirmed Resident 14 was admitted with a feeding
tube but was upgraded to a pureed, low sugar, oral diet with nectar thick liquids on 4/26/21.
On 7/4/21, Resident 14 weighed 150 pounds which was a thirteen-pound weight loss in two months, and a
7.98 percent overall significant weight loss in two months.
A review of Resident 14's nutrition comprehensive care plan, not implemented until 7/25/21, indicated
Resident 14 was at risk for alteration in nutrition and hydration due to a Recent weight loss of 5 LBS
[pounds] in a week.
A review of an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a group of healthcare professionals) weight change review,
dated 7/28/21, indicated Resident 14 now weighed 141 pounds and had a five-pound weight loss in one
week, and had lost a total of 22 pounds since admission. Resident 14 remained on a pureed, low sugar diet
with nectar thick liquids and received a high calorie drink three times per day. The new recommended
interventions for the significant weight loss included to fortify (adding extra fats/calories) the current diet and
serve Resident 14 larger portions at mealtimes.
A review of Resident 14's comprehensive nutrition care plan revealed the new recommendations
implemented on 7/28/21, were never added to the care plan and the overall weight loss of 22 pounds was
not mentioned.
A review of an IDT weight change review, dated 8/6/21, indicated Resident 14 now weighed 137 pounds
and had a four-pound weight loss in one week. Resident 14 lost a total of 26 pounds since admission and a
16 percent significant weight loss since admission. The form indicated Resident 14 consumed 79 percent of
her meals on average, and 0-100 percent of her high calorie drink daily. The IDT did not recommend any
new interventions for Resident 14 and the comprehensive nutrition care plan was not revised.
On 9/5/21, Resident 14 weighed 133 pounds which was now a thirty-pound weight loss since admission,
and an 18 percent significant weight loss since admission. On 9/19/21, Resident 14 was sent to the hospital
and returned to the facility on 9/24/21, with a diagnosis of COVID-19 and pneumonia. When weighed upon
return to the facility Resident 14 weighed 131 pounds.

A review of a nutrition assessment, dated 9/24/21, indicated Resident 14's diet had returned to a pureed,
low sugar diet with nectar thick liquids without the large portions. The form indicated Resident 14's appetite
was fair eating less than 50 percent of her meals on average and no longer had the high calorie drink
ordered. The RD recommended to resume the high calorie drink and to fortify the diet for Resident 14. The
RD's documented goal for Resident 14 was to maintain a consistent weight of plus or minus five pounds.
Residents Affected - Few
Resident 14 weighed 129 pounds on 10/3/21, 127 pounds on 11/7/21, and 126 pounds on 1/2/22. This was
a cumulative weight loss of 37 pounds in nine months, and a 22.7 percent significant weight loss in nine
months.
A review of Resident 14's clinical record revealed the comprehensive nutrition care plan initiated on
7/25/21, was cancelled on 9/20/21, and was never implemented or revised when Resident 14 returned from
the hospital.
During an interview on 1/11/22, at 2:58 p.m., the DON stated her expectation was for nursing to initiate
resident care plans when a change in condition happened which included weight loss.
During an interview on 1/12/22, at 4:00 p.m., the DON confirmed the RD was responsible for updating the
nutrition care plan with any new recommendations and interventions.
During an interview on 1/13/22, at 9:57 a.m., the DON confirmed a resident care plan was important
because it outlined the current plan of care for each resident.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Care Plans-Comprehensive Person Centered, revised
2016, indicated, .A comprehensive, person-centered care plan .is developed and implemented for each
resident .the Interdisciplinary Team must review and update the care plan .when there has been a
significant change in the residents condition .when the desired outcome is not met .when the resident has
been readmitted from a hosptital stay .

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of fifteen sampled
residents (Resident 7) who entered the facility with a urinary catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder to
drain or collect urine) received an assessment for the removal of the catheter as soon as possible unless
the resident's clinical condition indicated that catheterization was necessary. This failure had the potential
for Resident 7 to develop urinary tract infections.
Findings:
Review of Resident 7's admission record indicated Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in early
September 2021 with diagnoses including encounter for palliative care (specialized care focused on
providing relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness to improve quality of life), urinary tract
infection, acute kidney failure (when kidneys suddenly become unable to filter waste products from the
blood) and overactive bladder (a frequent and sudden urge to urinate that may be difficult to control).
admission record indicated Resident 7 had a family member as her designated representative.
During an observation on 1/10/22, at 9:28 a.m., Resident 7 had a urinary catheter.
During an interview on 1/10/22, at 2:34 p.m., the Resident Representative (RR) stated he did not know why
Resident 7 had the urinary catheter. The RR stated Resident 7 got the urinary catheter at the hospital when
she went there in October 2021 from the facility.
Review of Resident 7's records indicated there was no physician order for the urinary catheter, no catheter
care plan and no record of indication for catheter use.
Review of nurses' progress notes dated 10/15/21, indicated, .Resident came from the hospital .16 FR
[French: unit of tube measurement] Foley [urinary] catheter is in place .
During an interview on 1/12/22, at 10:21 a.m., Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 verified Resident 7 had urinary
catheter. LN 1 stated she needed to review Resident 7's record to check the medical indication for catheter
use. After concurrent review of Resident 7's physical and electronic records, LN 1 verified Resident 7 did
not have a physician order for urinary catheter and record of clinical indication for catheter use. LN 1 stated
she did not know what was the indication for Resident 7's catheter use. LN 1 stated she believed Resident
7 came back with urinary catheter when she went to hospital in October 2021.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/12/22, at 10:42 a.m., the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON) verified Resident 7 came back from the hospital with urinary catheter on 10/15/21. The
ADON stated the facility protocol was to evaluate the resident for the need of catheter use when the
resident came with a urinary catheter from the hospital, if there was no valid medical indication then
catheter was to be discontinued. The ADON verified Resident 7 was not evaluated when she came back
from hospital with the urinary catheter on 10/15/21 for a medical indication for catheter use or removal of
catheter in the absence of appropriate medical indication. The ADON stated Resident 7 should have been
assessed for removal of the urinary catheter unless there was a medical condition that required
catheterization. She verified Resident 7 did not have a physician order for catheter and catheter care plan.
She stated based on Resident 7's records she did not need a urinary catheter,

it should have been discontinued. The ADON further stated Resident 7 was placed at risk of infections due
to unnecessary catheterization.
During an interview on 1/13/22, at 10:02 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated if a resident came with
a urinary catheter from the hospital, the resident needed to be assessed for the necessity of catheter use.
She stated, A lot of times when residents come from the hospital they come with foley [urinary catheter],
hospital puts everyone on foley who does not even need it. The DON stated the resident will be at
increased risk for urinary infection if the catheter is placed unnecessarily, especially elderly resident.
Review of the facility policy titled, Orders for Indwelling urinary catheters and Catheter Care revised
September 2017, indicated, .Physicians shall order indwelling urinary catheters only for appropriate
indications .Staff shall limit the use of indwelling catheters and try to discontinue them whenever possible
.Residents/patients will not have an indwelling urinary catheter unless medically necessary .Assess to
Identify Indications .The physician will document a valid medical reason for initiating or continuing an
indwelling catheter .Periodically, the physician and staff will reassess the need to continue an indwelling
catheter and discontinue it when no longer indicated .

DON reviewed Resident 14's clinical record and confirmed there was not a documented discussion with the
family, or among the IDT, regarding a feeding tube or an appetite stimulant medication.
During an interview on [DATE], at 4:00 p.m., the DON was asked if snacks or any other dietary
interventions were offered to Resident 14. The DON stated at one point a high calorie ice cream might have
been offered but was unable to find documentation to confirm. When asked if snacks, extra desserts, or a
high calorie ice cream could have been an option for extra calories, the DON stated yes. The DON
confirmed Resident 14's physician never addressed the weight loss again after [DATE], but should have.

During a concurrent interview and record review, on [DATE], at 11:59 a.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 4's Weights and Vitals Summary, WEIGHT VARIANCE REPORT TO PHYSICIANS, and
care plans were reviewed. The DON confirmed Resident 4's weight record showed a 10.7 percent weight
loss over 6 months on [DATE], a 12.6 percent weight loss over 6 months on [DATE], and a 13.7 percent
weight loss over 6 months on [DATE]. The DON confirmed Resident 4's care plan indicated to notify the
physician when there was a weight loss of greater than 10 percent in 6 months. The DON confirmed there
was no WEIGHT VARIANCE REPORT TO PHYSICIAN reported for the greater than 10 percent weight loss
which occurred on [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE]. The DON stated, in January of 2022 a weight loss of 4
pounds in a month was reported to the physician. The DON explained the physician would not have the full
picture (admission weight not recorded on the form), would just see the 4 pound weight loss over 1 month
and maybe would not seem like that big of a deal. The DON explained, the licensed nurses get a report that
only show 1 month weight loss, not 3 months or 6 months. The licensed nurses are responsible for faxing
the WEIGHT VARIANCE REPORT TO PHYSICIANS, but the RD should also be responsible for notifying
the physician with a weight change.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide respiratory care consistent
with professional standards of practice for one of fifteen sampled residents (Resident 204) when, Resident
204's physician orders of Oxygen (O2) flow rate and to use O2 humidification (provides moisture to prevent
drying out of the airways) were not followed. These deficient practices had the potential to cause health
decline and respiratory distress for Resident 204.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of Resident 204's admission record indicated Resident 204 was admitted to the facility in late
December 2021 with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia (a medical condition
in which body has low oxygen and too much carbon dioxide), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD - a lung disease that blocks airflow and makes it difficult to breathe), emphysema (a lung condition
that causes shortness of breath), and dependence on supplemental oxygen.
On 1/10/22 at 11:03 a.m., Resident 204 was observed in bed with oxygen via O2 face mask (used when
patients require a high percentage of O2) at O2 flow rate 9 liters per minute. The O2 humidification
container was observed on top of the bedside drawer and was not connected to the O2 concentrator
(oxygen delivery device).
Review of Resident 204's physician orders dated 12/23/21, indicated, CHANGE HUMIDIFIER. every night
shift every Sun [Sunday] .OXYGEN VIA SIMPLE MASK AT 8LPM [Liters per minute] CONTINUOUSLY .
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/10/22, at 12:58 p.m., Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 verified
Resident 204 was receiving O2 at flow rate of 9 liters per minute and O2 humidification container was not
connected to the O2 concentrator.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/22, at 1:00 p.m., LN 1 verified Resident 204's
physician orders were to administer O2 at 8 liters per minute and to use O2 humidification. LN 1 stated, It
[Resident 204's oxygen rate] supposed to be at 8 liters. LN 1 stated O2 humidification container should
have been connected to the O2 concentrator. LN 1 stated giving oxygen at higher rate than ordered can
cause O2 poisoning and can affect resident's brain negatively. LN 1 stated O2 from concentrator was dry
and can cause nose bleeding when O2 humidification was not used.
During an interview on 1/13/22, 10:36 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated O2 should be
administered at the rate physician prescribed. The DON stated O2 humidification should be used if O2 is
administered at greater rate than 4 liters per minute. She stated giving O2 at higher rate than prescribed
can cause higher carbon dioxide levels especially in COPD residents. She stated it was important to use
O2 humidification because it can cause nose dryness and bleeding.
Review of the undated facility policy titled, OXYGEN THERAPY indicated, .It is the policy of this facility that
oxygen therapy is administered as ordered by the physician .Humidifier (for O2 flow>4 liters/min.)
.Connect humidifier to outlet of flowmeter, if oxygen liter flow> 4 l/min [liters per minute] .

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure Drug Regimen Reviews (or
DRR- review of all medications the residents were using in order to optimized therapy, identify any potential
drug reactions, ineffective drug therapy or duplicate drug therapy) by the Consultant Pharmacist ( or CP, a
pharmacist with specialized training to review safety aspects of medication use) were acted upon on
monthly basis with census of 50 residents. This failure could results in not addressing medication safety
irregularities in a timely manner and/or help optimize the drug therapy.
Findings:
During a review of the facility's document titled Drug Regimen Review (DRR) dated with monthly sections
for the year 2021, the document included a printout of recommendations by Consultant Pharmacist (CP)
with no follow-through markings.
Further review of the DRR documents in a binder for the date range from 4/8/21 to 12/15/21, indicated the
following number of recommendations to Medical Doctors (MD) and nursing staff by CP:
12/15/21: 26 notes to MD; 41 notes to nursing
11/11/21: 13 notes to MD; 31 notes to nursing
10/14/21: 9 notes to MD; 39 notes to nursing
09/12/21: 6 notes to MD; 41 notes to nursing
8/17/21: 11 notes to MD; 50 notes to nursing
7/12/21: 11 notes to MD; 54 notes to nursing
6/2021: Empty slot in the DRR binder
5/9/21: 10 notes to MD; 43 notes to nursing
4/8/21: 22 notes to MD; 43 notes to nursing
In an interview with Director Of Nursing (DON) on 1/11/22 at 4:51 PM, the DON stated Consultant
Pharmacist's notes to Medical Doctors (MD) were placed in the chart and/or faxed to doctor's office for their
review. The DON stated that she or her staff did not routinely go through the DRR packet to address
nursing recommendations.
In a telephone interview with the Consultant Pharmacist (CP) on 1/12/22 at 5:15 PM, the CP stated DRR
document were emailed to DON on a monthly basis. CP stated the notes to the MD's were printed on a
separate single sheet for MD to review or address. CP added, the majority of the notes to the nursing staff
were medication administration recommendations and were formatted as a list of individual residents for
nursing to address with follow-through comments section. CP stated, that he had noticed that some
recommendations were not addressed and he had to keep repeating them for consideration.

1. High risk anticoagulant medications (or blood thinners) were monitored for side effects (adverse effect of
medication) on a regular basis for two out of 15 sampled residents (Resident 34 and Resident 48).
2. The medication side effects were effectively monitored and addressed by medical provider for one out of
15 sampled residents (Resident 11).
These failures could result in unsafe medication use for Residents 34, 48 and 11.
Findings:
1a. During a review of Resident 34's medical record titled Medication Administration Record (or MAR, a
legal drug chart where nurse documented medications administration), dated January 2022, the MAR

In an interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/12/22 at 4:51 PM, the DON stated if the medication
care plan required any type of nursing monitoring, it should be forwarded into the MAR for nurses to
document it in each shift. The DON stated the night shift nurses performed skin assessment every day and
this information was shared with other shifts. If a nurse administered a high risk blood thinner medication
they should have looked at the skin assessment sheet. DON acknowledged with nursing workload during
medication administration, it was a safer approach to have a specific monitoring line in the MAR to
document the serious side effects.
Review of the facility's policy titled Medication Monitoring and Management, last updated on 10/2019, the
policy indicated The facility employs a system to assure that medication usage is evaluated .when a

to the anticholinergic (anticholinergic is a group of side effects on the brain and body where nerves in the
brain controled the body's response to medication) property of the three medications such as benztropine,
Cyclobenzaprine and Oxybutynine. The product labeling for oxybutynine indicated If a patient experiences
anticholinergic CNS (means Central Nervous System- or brain/nerve issues) effects, dose reduction or drug
discontinuation should be considered.

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.
Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure psychotropic medications (mind altering
medication) were effectively monitored, had a specific documented diagnosis, dosage adjustments or a
signed consent when perscribed for two out of 15 sampled residents (Resident 2 and Resident 11).
This failure could result in unsafe medication use in the facility.

1. During a review of the Resident 2's medical record titled Order Summary Report (means a list of doctor's
orders for medication and therapy), dated 1/6/22, the report indicated a doctor's order for Zyprexa, a mind
altering medication as follows:
Zyprexa (or Olanzapine, a mind altering medication) Tablet 5 mg (mg a unit of measure) (OLANZapine-generic name for Zyprexa); Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for PSYCHOTIC DISORDER ( Psychotic
disorders were a group of illnesses that affect the mind)
M/B (Manifested By) HALLUCINATIONS.- start date 11/24/20.
Further Review of Resident 2's medical record titled Medication Administration Record (or MAR- a drug
chart for nursing staff to document and monitor medications), with date range of 1/1/2022 to 1/31/22, the
MAR indicated Monitor and record # (number of) psychotic behavior manifested by hallucinations (an
experience involving the apparent perception of something not present; like seeing or hearing things) every
shift- Start date 11/23/20.
Review of the Resident 2s MAR documents for Zyprexa behavior monitoring indicated the following

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure medication error rate was
less than 5% during medication administration. The facility had a total of two errors out of 30 opportunities
which resulted in a facility wide medication error rate of 6.7%. Medication observations were conducted
over multiple days, at varied times, in random locations throughout the facility. The two medication errors
identified were as follows:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Licensed Nurse 3 (LN 3) opened sealed phenytoin capsules (or Dilantin - a medication used to prevent
or treat seizure) for oral (by mouth) administration for one resident ( Resident 3) out of 15 sampled
residents. This practice could have resulted in lower than expected medication level to protect against
seizure.
2. LN 2 administered Metformin pill (a Medication used to treat blood sugar in diabetes) belong to another
resident (Resident 13) when the medication supply could not be located for one (Resident 12) out of 15
sampled residents. This practice could pose medication safety risk for residents.
Findings:
1. During a medication pass observation on 1/10/22 at 10:43 AM with LN 3 in the Central unit, LN 3 opened
up two sealed capsules of phenytoin for Resident 3 and mixed them up with apple sauce for oral
administration.
Review of Resident 3's medical record titled Medication Administration Record (or MAR where doctor's
orders were tabulated electronically as a drug chart and serves as a legal record of the drugs
administered), with date range of 1/1/2022 to 1/31/22, the MAR indicated the following doctor's order for
phenytoin:
Dilantin (phenytoin sodium extended) Capsule 100 mg ( mg is a unit of measure); Give 2 capsule by mouth
three times a day for seizures; Do Not Crush or Chew; Start Date: 5/31/2021
In an interview with licensed Nurse 3 (LN 3) on 1/12/22 at 2:01 PM at the [NAME] side nursing station, LN 3
stated she did not know not to open the sealed capsule for oral (by mouth) administration. LN 3 stated that
Resident 3 was unable to swallow the capsules and was not aware if other forms of phenytoin could have
been ordered for oral administration.
In an interview with Director Of Nursing (DON) on 1/12/22 at 4:30 PM in her office, DON stated the
phenytoin extended capsule for Resident 3 should have been changed to other forms that was appropriate
for oral administration by a phone call to the medical doctor.
Review of a document kept in a binder on top of the medication cart, titled Medications Not to Be Crushed
dated 12/2010, the list included phenytoin (extended release- means slowly released into the body) with an
explanation that the medication was a time release formulation and should not be crushed.
Review of the facility's policy titled Medication Administration: General Guidelines, last updated on 10/2019,

2. During a medication pass observation on 1/10/22 at 5:04 PM with LN 2 in the [NAME] unit, LN 2 was not
able to locate a medication called Metformin (medication used to treat diabetes) for Resident 12 in the
medication cart. Subsequently, LN 2 found a packet of Metformin medication belonging to another resident
(Resident 13). LN 2 decided to use Resident 13's Metformin and administered an equivalent dose to
Resident 12.
Review of Resident 12's medical record titled Medication Administration Record (or MAR where doctor's

In an interview with LN 2 on 1/10/22 at 5:11 PM, LN 2 stated, she was not sure why Metformin was not
re-ordered from the provider pharmacy. LN 2 stated it was better to give the same medication from another
resident rather than not giving it at all during her shift.
In an interview with Director Of Nursing (DON) on 1/12/22 at 4:35 PM in her office, DON stated it was the
policy and standard of practice not to borrow medication from another resident. DON added, nursing staff
should ask for refill by ordering the product in a timely manner to prevent running out of medication. DON
added the provider pharmacy made medication delivery twice per day and if needed, they could facilitate
the medication delivery through a local pharmacy for urgent needs.
Review of facility's policy titled Unavailable Medications last updated on 8/2019, the policy indicated The
facility must make every effort to ensure that medications are available to meet the needs of each resident.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure professional standards were
maintained for food service safety and storage for a facility census of 50 when;
Residents Affected - Many
1. A bag of frozen chicken breasts were not dated, or labeled as to the contents of the bag in the freezer;
2. Frozen turkey and peeled bananas were freezer burned and available for use in the freezer;
3. Two large serving trays and a twelve-quart clear container used for food preparation and serving were
stacked and put away wet; and,
4. Hand hygiene was not performed after using sanitizer to clean a food preparation area and before
preparing pureed food in a blender for residents.
These failures had the potential to result in chemical food contamination, reduced food quality and taste,
and an environment where bacteria can begin to grow in prepared food and on kitchen food preparation
and serving equipment.
Findings:
1. During the initial tour of the kitchen with [NAME] 1 on 1/10/22, at 8:30 a.m., a clear, sealed plastic bag
was observed out of the original shipping container and contained approximately fifteen of the same frozen
food products. The plastic bag was not labeled with a date, or a description of the bag's contents. When
asked, [NAME] 1 explained the frozen food items were chicken breasts and confirmed they were out of their
original shipping container, and were not labeled with a description or a date.
A review of the facility's procedure titled Procedure For Freezer Storage, dated 2018, indicated, .All frozen
food should be labeled and dated .
2. During the initial tour of the kitchen with [NAME] 1 on 1/10/22, at 8:30 a.m., an opened, resealable plastic
bag was observed in the reach in freezer and was labeled Turkey and dated 1/6/22. The large, single piece
of turkey had a thick layer of ice over most of the surface area as well as ice flakes coating the inside of the
bag. Further observation revealed a resealable plastic bag labeled Bananas, and dated 12/21/21, with
approximately eight peeled bananas inside. The bananas had a thick layer of ice covering all visible surface
areas as well as ice flakes coating the inside of the bag. When asked, [NAME] 1 stated all stored food in the
freezer should be in a sealed bag and should not be freezer burned. [NAME] 1 removed the items and
stated they would be discarded.
A review of the facility's procedure titled Procedure For Freezer Storage, dated 2018, indicated, .Store
frozen foods in an airtight moisure-resistant wrapper .to prevent freezer burn .
An article published by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) titled Freezing and Food
Safety, dated 6/15/13, indicated, .Freezer Burn .Heavily freezer-burned foods may have to be discarded for
quality reasons .
