Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to assess two
nonsampled residents (Residents 113 and 980) for their self-administration of the medications. This failure
had the potential to negatively impact the residents' physiological well-being and could administer the
medications inaccurately.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Resident Self -Administration of Medication revised 12/19/22, showed the
residents have the right to self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team has determined that it is
clinically appropriate and safe for the resident to do so. The IDT teams should at a minimum consider the
following:
- The resident's physical capacity to : swallow without difficulty, open medication bottles, administer
injections;
- The resident's cognitive status, including their ability to correctly name their medication and know what
conditions they are taken for;
- The resident's capability to follow direction and tell time to know when medication needed to be taken for;
- The resident's comprehensions of instruction for the medication they are taking, including dose timing,
and signs of side effects, and when to report to facility staff;
- The resident's ability to understand what refusal of medication is and appropriate steps taken by staff to
educate when this occurs; and,
- The resident's ability to ensure that medication is stored safely and securely.
Further review of the P&P showed the result of the interdisciplinary team assessment are recorded on the
electronic health records and all nurses and aids are required to report to the charge nurse on duty any
medication found at the bedside not authorized for bedside storage. Unauthorized medications were to be
given to the charge nurse for return to the family or responsible party. The family and responsible parties
are reminded of policy and procedures regarding resident's self-administration when necessary.
1. On 10/8/24 at 0952 hours, during a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 113, bottles of

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Medical
record review for Resident 16 was initiated on 10/8/24. Resident 16 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 16's MDS dated [DATE], showed the resident had moderate cognitive impairment.
Review of Resident 16's physician's order dated 9/16/24, showed a laboratory order for CBC with
differential (complete blood count, measures the number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets
in the blood), CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel, a routine blood test to measure the body's fluid
balance, levels of electrolytes like sodium and potassium, and how well the kidneys and liver are working),
magnesium (a mineral in the body to help maintain muscles, nerves and bones) and procalcitonin (a
protein in the blood to help identify bacterial infection and sepsis) on 9/17/24.
Review of Resident 16's medical record did not show the results for the laboratory tests ordered on 9/17/24.

conducted with the DON. When asked about the results of the laboratory tests, the DON stated the results
were received through the electronic health record or via fax. When asked for the results of Resident 16's
laboratory tests on 9/17/24, the DON verified the results were not found on Resident 16's medical record.
The DON stated Resident 16 probably refused to have his laboratory drawn, to which she showed a copy of
the laboratory request form.
Review of Resident 16's laboratory request form dated 9/17/24, showed a request for CBC with differential,
CMP, magnesium and procalcitonin. The Nurse Notification - Submit New Requisition section showed
Resident 16 refused.
Further review of Resident 16's medical records did not show the physician was notified when the resident
refused the laboratory tests ordered on 9/17/24.
The DON verified the above findings.
Based on interview, medical record review, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the
residents' physician was notified when the residents refused laboratory collection of blood for two of five
final sampled residents (Residents 16 and 95) reviewed for unnecessary medication. This failure had the
potential for Residents 16 and 95 not to receive appropriate treatment and could negatively affect residents'
well-being.
Findings:
1. Medical record review for Resident 95 was initiated on 10/8/24. Resident 95 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 95's Physician Order Summary showed an order dated 7/26/24, for potassium chloride

On 10/11/24 at 1757 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. 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 ensure
19 of 20 final sampled residents (Residents 1, 13, 16, 22, 26, 29, 71, 72, 83, 84, 95, 97, 100, 101, 111,
116, 728, 928, and 931) reviewed for side rail use remained free from the accident hazards associated with
the use of elevated side rails.
* The facility failed to ensure the accurate and complete assessments and evaluations for the side rails use
for Residents 1, 13, 16, 26, 71, 83, 84, 95, 97, 100, 101, 116, 928, and 931.
* The facility failed to attempt the alternatives prior to installation of the bed rails for Residents 1, 13, 16, 22,
26, 65, 71, 84, 95, 97, 111, 116, 928, and 931.
* The facility failed to obtain the informed consent for the side rails prior to the installation of the grab bars
for Residents 83, 101, and 928.
* The facility failed to ensure the size of the side rails whether 1/4 or 1/2 side rails were not added after the
informed consent for grab bars were obtained from the residents or their responsible parties for Residents
16 and 72.
* The facility failed to ensure the informed consents related to the use of side rails were accurate for
Resident 95 and Resident 29.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 728's informed consent was specific to the physician's order.
Resident 728's physician ordered 1/4 side rails, but the informed consent was both for grab bars and 1/4
side rails.
* The facility failed to ensure the alternatives measures were provided prior to installation of bilateral 1/4
side rails as enabler to aid bed mobility, positioning, and ADL functioning for Residents 29 and 95. In
addition, the physician order did not specify bilateral side rails for Resident 95 and no physician order for
bilateral side rails for Resident 29.
These failures had the potential to put the residents at risk for entrapment and serious injuries.
Findings:
The FDA issued a Safety Alert entitled Entrapment Hazards with Hospital Bed Side Rails. Residents most
at risk for entrapment are those who are frail or elderly or those who have conditions such as agitation,
delirium, confusion, pain, uncontrolled body movement, hypoxia, fecal impaction, acute urinary retention,
etc., that may cause them to move about the bed or try to exit from the bed. Entrapment may occur when a
resident is caught between the mattress and bed rail or in the bed rail itself. Inappropriate positioning or
other care related activities could contribute to the risk of entrapment.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Informed Consent revised 3/25/24, showed the following:
- It is the policy of the facility to uphold the rights of residents to participate to the planning and
decision-making process concerning their care and treatment. When situations arise that involve

complex decisions, the facility will verify that informed consent has been obtained prior to any medical
intervention or treatment is initiated, including, but not limited to, the prolonged use of a device that may
lead to inability to regain use of a normal body function and for transfer and discharge; and
- Prior to initiating the administration of a device, licensed nursing staff shall verify with the resident or
surrogate decision maker that he/ she has given informed consent for the proposed device to the
prescriber.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Proper Use of Bed Rails dated on 12/19/22, showed the following:
- The resident assessment must include an evaluation of the alternatives that were attempted prior to
installation or use of a bedrails and how this alternative failed to meet the resident's assessed needs.
- The resident assessment should assess the resident's risk of entrapment between the mattress and bed
rail or in the bed rails itself.
- A nurse assigned to the resident will complete reassessments in accordance with the facility's
assessment schedule, but not less than quarterly, upon a significant change in status, or a change in the
type of bed/mattress/rails.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
provide the necessary pharmaceutical services when:
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure all controlled medications were accounted for and documented.
* The facility failed to ensure the licensed nurses followed the facility's process when opening and
dispensing medications from the E-kit (emergency kit).
These failures had the potential for drug diversion.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Storage in the Facility ID3: Controlled Medication Storage
dated August 2014, showed medications included in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
classification as controlled substances are subject to special handling, storage, disposal and recordkeeping
in the facility in accordance with federal, state and other applicable laws and regulations. At each shift
change, a physical inventory of all controlled medications, including the emergency supply is conducted by
two licensed nurses and is documented on the controlled medication accountability record.
Review of the facility's Emergency Kit Pharmacy Log showed intructions for all items used from Emergency
Kit and for all orders where initial dose(s) were used from the emergency kit as follows:
- Call order (including one-time or 'STAT' orders) into pharmacy

licensed nurses on 10/1, 10/2, 10/3, 10/4, 10/5, 10/6, 10/8, 10/9, and 10/10/24.
When asked what the purpose of having the signatures on the Controlled Substances Shift Count was, LVN
2 stated it was to get the key or endorse the key between the oncoming and offgoing licensed nurses, and
both licensed nurses needed to make sure all controlled medication counts were correct. LVN 2 verified all
the above findings.
b. On 10/11/24 at 1814 hours, an inspection of Medication Cart C and concurrent interview was conducted
with LVN 6. The form titled Controlled Substances Shift Count Log dated 10/1-10/11/24, showed the
following missing information:
- No signatures from the Off Going Nurse (7p-7a) on 10/3, 10/4, and 10/7/24.
- No signatures from the Off Going Nurse (7a-7p) on 10/1, 10/3, and 10/6/24.
- No documentation for the total number of cards/count sheet from 10/1-10/11/24.
LVN 6 verified all the above findings and stated the licensed staff' signatures and narcotic card counts
should be completed and documented on the Controlled Substances Shift Count Log every shift.
c. On 10/11/24 at 1814 hours, an inspection of Medication Cart C and concurrent count of the controlled
medications and interview was conducted with LVN 6. A bubble pack of Resident 62's Morphine Sul ER
(Morphine Sulfate Extended release - a pain medication that is slowly released into the body over time) 15
mg tablet showed and verified a total of 17 tablets. However, the Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record for
Resident 62 showed there were 18 tablets remaining.
LVN 6 verified the number of the remaining Morphine Sul ER 15 mg tablets on Antibiotic or Controlled Drug
Record for Resident 62 did not match the number of tablets remaining in the bubble pack. LVN 6 stated the
record sheet was incorrect due to Morphine Sul ER 15 mg being administered to Resident 62 on 10/10/24,
but not documented on the Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record. LVN 6 also stated the night shift LVNs had
performed the change of shift narcotic card count prior to her starting her shift. LVN 6 verified she should

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 (Resident 72) reviewed for unnecessary medications was free from the unnecessary
psychotropic medications (medications affecting brain activity).
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 72 was monitored for the side effects related to the use of bupropion
(antidepressant), escitalopram (antidepressant), and trazodone (antidepressant) medications. In addition,
the facility failed to ensure the documentation of the monitoring of side effects related to the use of
psychotropic medications for Resident 72 in the MAR did not have two different meanings under the chart
codes. These failures had the potential to not identify which medication caused the side effects and would
negatively impact Resident 72's well-being.
Findings:

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**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 implement their infection control surveillance program in accordance with the facility's P&P and
failed to maintain the infection practices to help prevent the development and transmission of diseases and
infection.
Residents Affected - Some
* The facility failed to maintain an accurate infection surveillance program for June, July, August, and
September 2024.
* Resident 47's urinal was found to be hanging by the trash bin.
* LVN 3 wore two pairs of gloves and failed to perform hand hygiene when the top pair of gloves was
removed prior to the administration of G-tube medication for Resident 72.
* LVN 3 failed to sanitize the stethoscope and blood pressure machine with cuff after using for Resident
931.
* LVN 1 failed to perform hand hygiene after removing gloves during medication administration observation
for Resident 829
* LVN 4 failed to perform hand hygiene after removing gloves during medication administration observation
for Resident 26.
These failures posed the risk for not identifying the residents infections and thereby, preventing the
implementation of interventions to control the potential transmission of communicable diseases to other
residents in the facility.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Infection Surveillance dated 12/19/22, showed the infection
preventionist will conduct an ongoing surveillance and nursing staff will monitor the residents for signs and
symptoms that may suggest infection, according to the current criteria and definitions of infections, and will
document and report suspected infections to the charge nurse as soon as possible. The facility will collect
date to properly identify possible communicable diseases or infections before the spread by identifying the
date to be collected, including how often and type of data to be documented the infection site, signs and
symptoms, and resident locations, including the summary and analysis of the number of residents who
developed infections. The CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Long Term Care Criteria,
updated McGeer criteria or other surveillance criteria will be used to define the infections.
Review of the facility's Monthly Infection Control Surveillance Reports for the months of June, July, August,
and September 2024 showed the following residents infection surveillance data for Community Acquired
Infection (CAI) (an infection presents prior to admission to the facility or developed within 48 hours of
admission), Healthcare Acquired Infection (HAI) (an infection developed 48 hours after admission to the
facility), and the total number of infections:
- June 2024: 38 CAI, 7 HAI, and 55 total number of infections.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, facility document, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement the antibiotic
stewardship program.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure two nonsampled residents (Residents 73 and 110) were accurately and timely
reviewed for the appropriate use of antibiotics. This failure had the potential for inappropriate use and
increased risk of drug resistant organisms.
Findings:
According to the CDC, the antibiotics are among the most frequently prescribed medications in nursing
homes, with up to 70% of residents in a nursing home receiving one or more courses of systemic
antibiotics over a year. Studies have shown that 40-75% of antibiotics prescribed in nursing homes may be
unnecessary or inappropriate. Harms from antibiotic overuse are significant for the frail and older adults
receiving care in nursing homes. These harms include risk of serious diarrheal infections from Clostridium
difficile, increased adverse drug events and drug interactions, and colonization and/or infection with
antibiotic-resistant organisms.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Antibiotic Stewardship Program revised 12/19/22, showed the Infection
Preventionist will review antibiotic utilization as part of the antibiotic stewardship program and identify the
specific situations that are not consistent with the appropriate use of antibiotics, including clinical findings
which do not indicate continued need for antibiotics.
1. Review of the Infection Prevention and Control Surveillance Log for September 2024 showed Resident
73 was on levofloxacin 500 mg (antibiotic medication) for pneumonia (an infection in the lungs caused by a
bacteria) for six days.

3. On 10/8/24 at 0909 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with RN 3. Stations A,
B, and C refrigerators for the residents' food was observed with ice buildup in the frozen storage area. RN 3
verified the above observation and stated the above refrigerators needed to be defrosted.
Residents Affected - Few
On 10/11/24 at 1456 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed and
acknowledged above findings.
Based on observation, interview and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure two of two glucometers
(Glucometers A and B) were maintained in safe operating condition. In addition, the facility failed to ensure
the three residents' refrigerator (in Stations A, B, and C) frozen storage area were free of ice buildup. These
failures had the potential for residents requiring blood glucose checks to have inaccurate reading; and the
failure had the potential for the food stored in the freezer area were not kept at the proper temperature.
Findings:
1. On 10/11/24 at 12:40 hours, an interview and concurrent inspection of Medication Cart A was conducted
with LVN 2.
Review of the Daily Quality Control Record log for Medication Cart A dated October 2024 showed the daily
Quality Control Record testing was completed with a glucometer with the serial number K008171N5044.
However, the serial number of the glucometer stored in the medication cart showed a serial number of
K008229N3093. LVN 2 verified there was no other glucometer stored inside the medication cart. Further
review of the log showed the glucometer test strips with lot number WDO8MAQAB were opened on
10/6/24. However, the open date written on the test strips was 10/9/24. LVN 2 verified the findings.
2. On 10/11/24 at 1815 hours, an interview and concurrent inspection of Medication Cart C was conducted
with LVN 6.
Review of the Daily Quality Control Record log for Medication Cart C dated October 2024 did not show the
serial number for Glucometer B being used for the Daily Quality Control Record testing. LVN 3 verified the
log did not have the serial number for the glucometer and the serial number should be written on the log. In
addition, the log for Glucometer B showed test strips with a lot number of WB27MAPCA. However, the test
strips stored in Medication Cart C showed a lot number of WD08MAQAB. LVN 3 verified the findings and
stated the lot numbers should match.

On 10/11/24 at 1011 hours, a concurrent interview and facility document review for Residents 16, 72, 928,
and 931 was conducted with the Maintenance Director and Maintenance Staff. The Maintenance Director
stated the maintenance department was responsible for the bed inspection of all the beds in the facility. The
Maintenance Director stated the bed inspection including checking the bed control, wiring and making sure
the bed was functioning properly was done monthly. The Maintenance Director stated they documented the
monthly bed inspection in the Rooms Monthly Inspection log. When asked about the side rails, the
Maintenance Director stated the maintenance department was responsible for installing the side rails. The
Maintenance Director stated they would get the order from the rehabilitation department via text, or call, or
through the maintenance request log. When asked about entrapment assessment, the Maintenance
Director showed the Bionix safety measuring device to measure the side rails, the gaps between the gaps
in between the mattress, side rails, headboard, and footboard. When asked about the monthly
measurement of the entrapment zones per the residents' plan of care, the Maintenance Director stated they
did not do a monthly measurement of the entrapment zones because the measurements would be the
same. When asked to show the documentation of the results of the entrapment assessment using the
safety measuring device, the Maintenance Director showed the Bed System Measurement Device Test
Results Worksheet.
Review of the facility's document titled Rooms Monthly Inspection dated 9/1/24, showed the following were

curtain track, wall ceiling, wheelchairs, call light, and bedside rails for each bed in the facility.
Review of the facility's document titled Bed System Measurement Device Test Results Worksheet dated
10/6/24, for Residents 16, 72, and 931 showed the entrapment Zones 2, 3, and 4 were marked P, and the
headboard and footboard were marked pass. The worksheet did not show Zone 1 was measured for
Residents 16, 72, and 931.
In addition, review of the facility's document titled Bed System Measurement Device Test Results
Worksheet did not show an entrapment assessment was conducted for Resident 928.
Further review of the residents' medical records and facility documents failed to show a documented
evidence the residents' entrapment assessments were completed, and the measurements were recorded
for Zone 1 during the bed inspection to identify areas of possible entrapment with the use of side rails.
The Maintenance Director verified the above findings.
