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:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Information regarding formulation of Advanced Directive (AD- a written document that indicates a
resident's medical wishes) was provided to the Residents' Representatives (RR), for two of 14 residents
reviewed for AD (Residents 18 and 7); and
2. Resident 11's AD was not readily available in the resident's medical record.
These failures had the potential for the resident/resident representative's current wishes for medical care
not to be honored.
Findings:
1. On July 29, 2024, Resident 18's record was reviewed. Resident 18 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Resident 18's Resident Representative (RR- makes decisions for the resident due to the resident not
having mental capacity to make medical decisions) was his family member (FM).
Resident 18's History and Physical, dated July 10, 2024, indicated a history of alcohol and cocaine use,
post assault, stroke, status post craniotomy (opening in the skull to access the brain for surgery), chronic
respiratory failure requiring tracheostomy (opening into the wind pipe from outside the neck to allow air and
oxygen to reach the lungs). Resident 18 required high complexity medical decision making.
Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool), dated July 16, 2024, indicated Resident 18
had severe cognitive impairment.
Resident 18's Physician's Order for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST), signed by the RR on July 22, 2024,
did not indicate the presence of an AD.
There was no documented evidence information on formulating an advance directive was provided to or
received by Resident 18's RR.
On July 31, 2024, at 11:43 a.m. the Infection Preventionist (IP) was interviewed. The IP stated upon a
resident's admission to the facility, the POLST was to be given to the resident and/or RR and the form was
to be filled up to indicate their medical wishes, then the resident and/or RR and the physician would sign
the form. The IP stated if the resident had an AD, a copy would be requested and

frequent refusals for showers or bed bath.
On July 31, 2024, at 5:01 p.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed. The DON stated there
should have been a plan of care or interventions developed to address Resident 4's skin issues in relation
to her shower refusals. The DON stated, At one point in time, it should have been identified why the issues
keep happening so it can be addressed accordingly.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, INTERDISCIPLINARY CARE PLANS, dated March
2024, indicated, .an individualized plan of care for the resident .should be initiated when a resident is

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 and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of five residents reviewed for unnecessary
medication (Residents 17 and 18) were free from unnecessary psychotropic (drug that affects brain
activities associated with mental processes and behavior) medications when:
1. For Resident 17, the facility did not have the prescriber-documented rationale for extended use of the
as-needed (PRN) lorazepam (a psychotropic medication for anxiety) beyond 14 days;
2. For Resident 18, the facility did not monitor the effectiveness of the antipsychotic (quetiapine medication to treat mental illness).
These failures had the potential to result in unnecessary use of medications.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent interview and record review on July 31, 2024 at 2:50 p.m., with staff pharmacist
(RPH) 1 and Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, Resident 17's electronic medical record was reviewed.
The record indicated a physician's order, dated June 27, 2024, for lorazepam 0.5 milligrams (mg - unit of
measurement), to be administered via feeding tube every six hours as needed for anxiety manifested by
verbalization of feeling anxious, stop on July 4, 2024 (seven days). The record indicated an identical order
for lorazepam dated July 4, 2024 to stop on July 18, 2024 (14 days). The record indicated an additional
identical order for lorazepam dated July 20, 2024 to stop on July 27, 2024 (seven days). The record
indicated a final identical order for lorazepam dated July 27, 2024 to stop on August 10, 2024 (14 days).
RPH 1 and LVN 1 each stated they were unable to find any documentation for the extended use of the
as-needed lorazepam.
During an interview on July 31, 2024 at 4:29 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated the
expectation is for the physician to evaluate the resident when extending orders for as-needed psychotropic
medications. DON stated the expectation is the physician will document the need for the extension. DON
stated there should be documentation of the rationale for extension for Resident 17.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Chemical Restraints, dated, March 2024,
the P&P indicated:
Chemical restraints [antipsychotic/psychotropic medications] are used in the lowest possible dose and are
discontinued when no longer required .

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility had a medication error rate of 9.68% when
three medication errors occurred out of 31 opportunities during medication administration, for two out of
four residents (Residents 2 and 5).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in medications not given according to the prescriber's orders and/or manufacturer's
specifications and had the potential for residents to not receive the full therapeutic effects of medications.
Findings:
1a. During a medication pass observation on July 30, 2024 at 9:34 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1
was observed preparing and administering nine medications to Resident 2. The medications included
tobramycin (to treat eye infections) 0.3% eye drops.
During an observation on July 30, 2024 at 10:03 a.m. in Resident 2's room, LVN 1 administered one drop of
tobramycin into Resident 2's left eye and then one drop into the right eye.
During a review of Resident 2's electronic medical record, the record indicated a physician's order dated
June 3, 2024 for tobramycin sulfate 0.3% eye drops, to be administered as one drop every 12 hours for red
right eye.
During a concurrent interview and record review on July 30, 2024 at 11:19 a.m. with LVN 1, Resident 2's
physician's orders were reviewed. LVN 1 stated she gave Resident 2 one drop of tobramycin in each eye.
When asked to read the physician's orders dated June 3, 2024 for tobramycin eye drops, LVN 1 stated she
accidently gave Resident 2 a drop into the left eye.
During an interview on July 31, 2024 at 4:19 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON) regarding Resident 2's
tobramycin eye drops given to both eyes, DON stated her expectation is that Resident 2 only gets
tobramycin in the right eye as the physician ordered.
1b. During the same medication pass observation on July 30, 2024 at 9:34 a.m., LVN 1 was observed
preparing and administering nine medications to Resident 2. LVN 1 had an additional medication,
fludrocortisone (to treat low blood pressure) set aside. LVN 1 stated the fludrocortisone would be held
because Resident 2's blood pressure (BP) was 107/68 (BP result consists of two numbers: the top number
or systolic blood pressure [SBP] and the bottom number or diastolic blood pressure [DBP]).
During a review of Resident 2's electronic medical record, the record indicated a physician's order dated
June 3, 2024 for fludrocortisone 0.1 milligrams (mg), to be administered via feeding tube (a tube inserted
through the abdomen that delivers nutrition and medications directly to the stomach or small intestine)
twice a day, hold for SBP greater than 110.
During a concurrent interview and record review on July 30, 2024 at 11:19 a.m. with LVN 1, Resident 2's
physician's orders were reviewed. LVN 1 stated to hold the fludrocortisone for SBP less than 110. When
asked to re-read the physician's orders dated June 3, 2024 for fludrocortisone, LVN 1 acknowledged that
the orders indicated to hold for SBP greater than 110 and stated she would clarify the orders.
