Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a care plan
addressing a resident's diagnosis of sleep apnea (blocked airways) and use of a Bilevel Positive Airway
Pressure ([BiPAP] a breathing therapy used to help a person with breathing difficulties) for one out of three
sampled residents (Resident 2). These deficient practices had the potential to place Resident 2 at risk for
device related injury, respiratory distress, and not receiving the necessary care and services. Findings:
During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 2's diagnoses included diabetes mellitus (DM- a disorder
characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and hypertension (HTN- high
blood pressure). During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool),
dated 11/7/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2's cognition (ability to think and process information) was
intact. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required moderate (helper does less than half the effort) assistance
from staff for activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a
person performs daily to care for themselves). During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report,
dated 12/30/2025, the order summary report indicated on 11/21/2025, Resident 2's attending physician
prescribed the use of a BiPAP machine at bedtime for treatment of sleep apnea. During a concurrent
observation and interview on 12/30/2025 at 8:00 a.m., in Resident 2's room, observed Resident 2's BiPAP
machine on the nightstand next to the resident's bed. Resident 2 stated he used the BiPAP machine every
night for sleep apnea. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/30/2025 at 11:15 a.m., with
the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 2's clinical health records including the document titled
Psychiatric Evaluation and Mental Status Examination, dated 11/21/2025, Order Summary Report dated
12/30/2025, and the resident's active care plans, were reviewed. Resident 2's psychiatric evaluation
included a diagnosis of sleep apnea. The order summary report indicated an active physician order dated
11/21/2025, for the use of the BiPAP machine nightly at bedtime to treat the resident's sleep apnea. Upon
review of Resident 2's care plans, the ADON stated there was no care plan created or initiated to address
Resident 2's sleep apnea. The ADON stated there was no care plan initiated for Resident 2's use of BiPAP.
The ADON stated care planning serves as a communication tool among staff to ensure consistent
implementation of goals and interventions, including monitoring of BiPAP use, resident education, and
evaluation of tolerance. The ADON stated that without a care plan the staff would not know how to provide
necessary care and services. The ADON stated this had the potential to place Resident 2 at risk for
inconsistent use of the BiPAP machine and related complications, such as respiratory distress or injuries.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled Care Plans, Comprehensive
Person-Centered, revised 3/2022, the P&P indicated the facility would develop and implement a
comprehensive person-centered care plan which includes measurable objectives and

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the safe storage of medications for
one of three sampled residents (Resident 2). This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 2 at
risk for unsafe medication administration, misuse of medications and overdose. Findings: During a review of
Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Resident 2's diagnoses included diabetes mellitus (DM- a disorder characterized by difficulty in
blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and hypertension (HTN- high blood pressure). During a
review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/7/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 2's cognition (ability to think and process information) was intact. The MDS indicated
Resident 2 required moderate (helper does less than half the effort) assistance from staff for activities of
daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to
care for themselves). During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/30/2025 at 8:00 a.m., in
Resident 2's room, with Resident 2, observed four prescription medications inside the nightstand next to
Resident 2's bed, within reach and not secured. The medication bottles were not labeled for
self-administration and were not stored in a locked medication card or secured drawer. Resident 2 stated, I
take the medications every day whenever I want. The medication bottles included the following:a.
Atorvastatin (medication used to lower high cholesterol) 40 milligrams (mg- metric unit of measurement,
used for medication dosage and/or amount), one tablet daily.b. Torsemide (medication used to treat fluid
retention) 20 mg, two tablets daily c. Fenofibrate (medication used to treat high cholesterol)160 mg, 1 tablet
daily.d. Lisinopril (medication used to treat high blood pressure) 2.5 mg, one tablet daily. During interview on
12/30/2025 at 1:20 p.m., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated the facility did not
permit residents to keep medications at their bedside. The ADON stated the facility did not allow
self-administration of medications unless there was a completed self-administration assessment, and a
documented physician order. The ADON stated Resident 2 was assessed for self-administration of
medication and was determined as not appropriate to self-administer medications. The ADON stated
residents were not supposed to have medications in their rooms or take them on their own. The ADON
stated that was not part of the facility policy or standard practice. The ADON stated the presence of multiple
medications at Resident 2's bedside, and the resident's unsupervised administration, was unacceptable,
unsafe, and should have been addressed by the nursing staff. The ADON stated unsecured access to
antihypertensive and diuretics, such as lisinopril, and torsemide, placed Resident 2's at risk for overdose,
dangerous drops in blood pressure or dehydration, adverse medications interactions or complications.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Medication Labeling and Storage, revised
2023, the P&P indicated the facility would store all medications and biologicals in locked compartments.
The P&P indicated only authorized personnel would have access to keys. During a review of the facility's
P&P titled Administering Medications', revised 4/2019, the P&P indicated medications would be
administered in a safe and timely manner. The P&P indicated only persons licensed or permitted by the
state to prepare, administer and document the administering of medications.
