Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a copy of the Advance Directive (AD - written
statement of a person's wishes regarding medical treatment) was available in the resident's record and
accessible to staff, for one of three residents reviewed for AD (Residents 15).
This failure had the potential to make Resident 15's AD not readily retrievable by the staff and the
physician, leaving them unaware of and unable to honor the residents' wishes regarding their medical
treatment.
Findings:
On May 8, 2024, Resident 15's record was reviewed. Resident 15 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].

of residents) Score of 12 (moderate impairment in cognition).
A review of Resident 15's Advance Directive Acknowledgement Form, dated February 29, 2024, indicated,
.I do have an Advance Directive .
There was no documented evidence a copy of the AD was provided in Residents 15's medical record.
On May 9, 2024, at 08:47 a.m., during a concurrent interview and review of Resident 15's record with the
Social Service Director (SSD), the SSD stated she is responsible for AD formulation and follow-up. The
SSD further stated if the resident has an AD, copy of the AD is obtained and place in the resident's record.
The SSD stated Resident 15 has an AD, but it was not available in the resident's record. The SSD further
stated, Resident 15's AD should have been available and accessible to the staff and physician.
The facility Policy and Procedure titled, Advance Directives, dated December 2023, indicated, .Prior to,
upon, or immediately after admission, the facility staff will ask residents, and/or their family members about
the existence of any advance directives .Should a resident indicate that he or she has issued advance

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, and document review, the facility failed to ensure medications in
emergency medication supply containers (EKITs) were safely stored, with individual medications placed in
its own space to distinguish one from others.
Two EKITs contained multiple different unit-dose medications in each compartment.
This failure had the potential for delay in locating and administering the needed medication, and to increase
medication errors.
Findings:
On May 7, 2024, at 11:10 a.m., during an inspection of the medication room with the Registered Nurse
Supervisor (RNS), it was noted there were two EKITs, one EKIT contained 48 different medications and the
other contained 40 different medications.
The EKIT labeled, Nonantibiotic EKIT #1 (A-L), had 13 compartments for 48 different medications, each
compartment containing multiple different medications in manufacturer's unit dose packaging, mixed
together.
The EKIT labeled, Nonantibiotic EKIT #2 (M-W), had 17 compartments for 40 different medications, each
compartment containing multiple different medications in manufacturer's unit dose packaging, mixed
together.
The medications were alphabetically placed in the compartments and medications that sounded similar to
each other were placed in the same compartment. Observed in one compartment placed together, were
citalopram, carvedilol, and carbidopa/levodopa.
On May 10, 2024, at 11:25 a.m., during an interview, the Consultant Pharmacist (CP) stated, medications
in EKITs should be compartmentalized, with each medication stored separately in its own compartment.
The CP agreed that having one medication per compartment would be safer for picking the right medication
in the EKIT.
The facility's policy and procedure titled, Medication Storage in the Facility Storage of Medications, dated
December 12, 2023, indicated, .Medications and biologicals are stored safely .Medication storage areas
are .free of clutter .
According to the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP- a nationally recognized organization
devoted entirely to preventing medication errors,) indicated, .ISMP's List of Confused Drug Names contains
look-alike and sound-alike (LASA) name pairs of medications that have been published in the ISMP
Medication Safety Alert!® Acute Care, the ISMP Medication Safety Alert!® Community/Ambulatory
Care, and the FDA and ISMP Lists of Look-Alike Drug Names with Recommended Tall Man Letters .Use
this list to determine which medications require special safeguards to reduce the risk of errors and minimize
harm .
According to ISMP article titled, Adopt Strategies to Manage Look-Alike and/or Sound-Alike Medication
Name Mix-Ups, dated June 2, 2022, indicated, .Store medications with problematic, error-prone,
