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
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement the comprehensive
care plan to address the individual care needs for one of one sampled resident (Resident 7) reviewed for IV
antibiotic use.
* The facility failed to develop a plan of care addressing Resident 7's Vancomycin (antibiotic used to treat
and prevent various bacterial infections) treatment given intravenously (giving medicines through a needle
or tube inserted into a vein). This failure had the potential for not providing appropriate, consistent, and
individualized care.
Findings:
According to the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Care Plans revised 12/19/22, showed the facility to
develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with
resident rights, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing,
and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the resident comprehensive assessment.
Medical record review for Resident 7 was conducted on 4/10/24. Resident 7 was readmitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 7's comprehensive care plan initiated on 4/10/22, and revised on 4/10/24, showed a
care plan problem addressing the IV therapy of Rocephin (antibiotic used to treat many kinds of bacterial
infection) related to UTI (urinary tract infection). The intervention included when on Vancomycin, to monitor
the input and output and check for signs of nephrotoxicity which was initiated on 4/10/24.
Review of Resident 7's Order Summary Report for the order dates between 11/1/23 to 4/30/24, showed an
initial order for Vancomycin IV solution dated 3/26/24, to use 1.25 gram intravenously one time a day for
UTI/sepsis until 4/28/24. The order summary repport showed the Vancomycin trough level (to check
inadequacy and an increased risk of developing bacterial resistance) on 3/30/24 at 0830 hours.
Review of Resident 7's IV Administration Report for March 2024 showed Vancomycin 1.25 grams was
intravenously started on 3/28/24.
On 4/10/24 at 1439 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 2.
RN 2 reviewed Resident 7's plan of care and was not able to see a care plan for Vancomycin IV therapy.
The last care plan for IV therapy was resolved on 3/1/23. Furthermore, RN 2 stated no care plan was
developed.
On 4/11/24 at 1305 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 3.
RN 3 stated a care plan should be initiated as soon as the physician had new orders. RN 3 verified the daily
Vancomycin IV was started on 3/27/24, until 4/28/24, and the care plan interventions for the use of
Vancomycin was only initiated on 4/10/24. Furthermore, RN 3 verified Vancomycin was in the intervention
and not as a focused problem.

or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure
the necessary care and services were provided to prevent the development of a wound for one of three
sampled residents observed for wound care (Resident 74).
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to provide skin treatment to Resident 74's right lower leg swelling as ordered by the
physician. This failure had the potential for Resident 74 to develop or worsening of skin breakdown.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Clean Dressing Change revised on 12/19/22 showed to provide wound
care in a manner to decrease potential for infection and or cross contamination. The physician's order will
specify type of dressing and frequency of changes. The policy showed place a barrier cloth or pad next to
the resident, under the wound to protect the linen and other body sites; and apply topical ointments or
creams and dress the wound as ordered.
Review of Resident 74's Order Summary Report dated 4/10/24, showed the following physician's orders:
- for the left lower leg swelling, to clean with soap and water, apply vitamin A and D ointment daily and wrap
with Kerlix (antimicrobial large roll dressing to provide an antimicrobial barrier to prevent microbial
penetration and microbial growth within the dressing) then cohesive bandage every day shift for 14 days
ordered on 4/9/24.
- for the right lower leg swelling, to clean with soap and water, apply vitamin A and D ointment daily and
wrap with Kerlix then cohesive bandage every day shift for 14 days ordered on 4/9/24.
On 4/10/24 at 0828 hours, a wound care observation for the resident's right leg was conducted with LVN 2.
LVN 2 had completed the dressing change to the left leg prior to the observation of the wound care
treatment. LVN 2 was observed having the Derma Klenz (a wound cleanser with zinc that contains no
detergents and facilitates the removal of wound debris) wound cleanser on Resident 74's bed, and Kerlix
dressing and latex flexible cohesive bandage on a metal plate on Resident 74's bedside table. LVN 2 was
observed to spray Derma Klenz on a gauze, cleanse the right leg, applied vitamin A and D ointment, and
wrap with Kerlix dressing then put the cohesive bandage.
On 4/10/24 at 0835 hours, an interview and medical record review was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure
the necessary care and services were provided to prevent the worsening of a pressure ulcer for one of the
three sampled residents observed wound care (Resident 26).
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to provide wound treatment to Resident 26's right hip and right lateral malleolus pressure
injuries as ordered by the physician. This failure had the potential for Resident 26's worsening of existing
pressure ulcer.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Clean Dressing Change revised on 12/19/22, showed the facility to
provide wound care in a manner to decrease potential for infection and or cross contamination. Physician's
order will specify type of dressing and frequency of changes. Policy explanation and compliance guidelines
showed place a barrier cloth or pad next to the resident, under the wound to protect the linen and other
body sites. Apply topical ointments or creams and dress the wound as ordered.
Review of Resident 26's Order Summary Report dated 4/10/24, showed the following physician's orders:
- an order dated 3/22/24, for the right lateral malleolus (a bony projection on either side of the ankle)
pressure injury, to cleanse with Dakin (a mixture of sodium hypochlorite and boric acid diluted in water)
solution ¼ (quarter) strength pat dry, apply Santyl (used to remove damaged tissue from chronic skin
ulcers and severely burned areas) ointment daily, and cover with a dry dressing, then secure with Kerlix
(antimicrobial large roll dressing to provide an antimicrobial barrier to prevent microbial penetration and
microbial growth within the dressing) for 30 days.
- an order dated 4/9/24, for the right hip pressure injury, to cleanse with normal saline (a nontoxic, isotonic
solution that does not damage healing tissues), pat dry, soak a dry gauze on Dakin solution ¼
strength daily, and cover with a dry dressing for 30 days.
On 4/10/24 at 0905 hours, a wound care observation was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 was observed
during the wound care of Resident 26's right lateral malleolus and right hip pressure injuries. LVN 2 was
observed to set up a bedside table covered with the protective drape with the following supplies: Derma
Klenz (a wound cleanser with zinc that contains no detergents and facilitates the removal of wound debris)
spray, a bottle of ¼ strength Dakin solution, dry gauze dressings and Kerlix dressing; and took the
bedside table to Resident 26's bedside. LVN 2 washed hands, donned gloves, and removed the old
dressing of the right malleolus. LVN 2 supported Resident 26's right foot on top of the pillow. LVN 2 washed
hands, then proceeded to spray Derma Klenz on the gauze, and cleansed the right lateral malleolus
pressure injury. LVN 2 washed hands, donned gloves then soaked the dry gauze with ¼ strength
Dakin solution, applied to the right lateral malleolus pressure injury, then wrapped with Kerlix dressing.
However, LVN 2 did not apply Santyl ointment to the right lateral malleolus pressure injury as ordered.
LVN 2 proceeded to perform the right hip pressure injury wound care. LVN 2 washed hands, donned gloves,
rolled up Resident 26's diaper and rolled down the resident's pants then removed the dressing of the right
hip. LVN 2 washed hands, donned gloves, sprayed Derma Klenz to a gauze and cleansed the right hip

back up to the pressure injury site. LVN 2 proceeded to put the gauze dressing soaked with Dakin solution
to the right hip pressure injury and covered with a dry dressing. However, LVN 2 used Derma Klenz instead
of normal saline as ordered.
On 4/10/24 at 0935 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review were conducted with LVN 2.
LVN 2 verified Derma Klenz was used to cleanse the right lateral malleolus and the dressing soaked with
Dakin solution applied to the right lateral malleolus pressure injury, and covered with Kerlix dressing. LVN 2
verified Santyl ointment was not applied to the right lateral malleolus wound as ordered by the physician.
LVN 2 also verified right hip pressure injury was cleansed with Derma Klenz instead of normal saline as
ordered. LVN 2 verified he failed to open the diaper to prevent it from flipping back to the wound bed. LVN 2
verified he did not put any protective pads under the pressure injury sites to protect the body sites. LVN 2
further stated he did not get the wound care treatment supply this morning from the central supply and
used what he had in the treatment cart.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary GT care and
services for one of two sampled residents reviewed for GT care.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 53 was positioned safely at 30 to 45 degrees during the enteral
feeding via GT. This failure posed the risk for developing complications related to GT.
Findings:
According to Taylor's Fundamentals of Nursing seventh edition, Nursing Considerations with Tube Feeding,
to make sure the resident is as upright as possible during feeding. If the resident is in bed during feedings,
elevate the head of the bed at least 30 degrees during feeding and for one hour afterward to prevent reflux
(occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus or the tube connecting your mouth
and stomach) and aspiration.
Medical record review for Resident 53 was initiated on 4/9/24. Resident 53 was readmitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 53's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 3/21/24, to administer
Diabetisource AC 1.2 (a tube feeding formula made with a unique blend of carbohydrates that includes
pureed fruits and vegetables) at 65 ml per hour for 20 hours to provide 1300 ml per day.
On 4/11/24 at 0816 hours, Resident 53 was observed slouched in bed. Resident 53's GT Diabetisource AC
1.2 was observed infusing via a feeding pump at 65 ml per hour.
On 4/11/24 at 0820 hours, an observation for Resident 53 and concurrent interview was conducted with
LVN 1. Resident 53 was observed slouched in bed with the GT feeding pump turned on. LVN 1 verified the
above findings. LVN 1 stated Resident 53 usually slides down the bed, and she would ask the CNAs for
assistance to pull him up, and there should be a pillow on his legs to prevent Resident 53 from sliding
down.
On 4/12/24 at 1410 hours, Resident 53 was observed slouched in bed. Resident 53's GT Diabetisource AC
1.2 was observed infusing via a feeding pump at 65 ml per hour.
On 4/12/24 at 1417 hours, an observation for Resident 53 and concurrent interview was conducted with
LVN 1. Resident 53 was observed slouched in bed with the GT feeding pump turned on. LVN 1 verified the
above findings. LVN 1 stated Resident 53's family members just came out of the room, and they could have
repositioned the resident. LVN 1 could not provide documentation when asked if an education or a training
was provided to Resident 53's family members regarding repositioning the resident while the resident was
receiving a GT feeding.
On 4/12/24 at 1426 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 53 was
conducted with the DON. The DON stated the head of the bed of the resident receiving feeding via GT
should be at least 45 degrees. The DON stated she was not aware if Resident 53 sliding down the bed. The
DON stated if Resident 53's family members repositioned the resident, they should be educated to keep
Resident 53's head of the bed elevated while the GT feeding was on.

or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure two of two sampled residents (Residents 59
and 61) reviewed for dialysis services were monitored for fluid restriction as ordered. This failure posed the
risk of the residents' not receiving appropriate care.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
1. On 4/10/24, medical record review was initiated for Resident 59. Resident 59 was readmitted to the
facility on [DATE], and discharged to the acute care hospital on 4/11/24.
Review of Resident 59's physician's progress note dated 12/8/23, showed Resident 59's diagnoses
included end stage renal disease with dialysis.
Review of Resident 59's nutritional assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 59's albumin level was
trending downward.
Review of Resident 59's April 2024 Order Summary Report showed an order dated 12/22/23, for
Novasource 275 ml (nutritional supplement) three times daily; and an order dated 12/5/23, for a breakdown
of Resident 59's daily fluid restrictions provided by nursing: a daily total of 780 ml.
Review of Resident 59's April 2024 intake and output record completed by the nursing staff showed
Resident 59's total daily fluid intake was ranging between 920 to 1260 ml, exceeding the 780 ml daily fluid
restriction provided by the nursing.
On 4/11/24 at 1552 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review of Resident 59's Intake and
Output Record for April 2024 was conducted with LVN 5. When asked about documenting the specific
amount consumed by Resident 59 for his Novasource, LVN 5 stated the amounts documented on Resident
59's Intake and Output Record were just the total fluids intake, and LVN 5 was not sure of any specific fluid
total amount or how much of the documented amounts were water or the resident's Novasource, or other
liquid. LVN 5 stated the nursing staff gave the resident the nutritional supplement and documented as
given, but not how much of the supplement was consumed by the resident. LVN 5 stated the daily total
tallied on the document could be from the dietary or nursing.
On 4/12/24 at 1033 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review was conducted with the RD.
When asked about the order of the daily fluid intake for Resident 59's (780 ml daily fluid restriction provided
by nursing and 720 ml daily fluid restriction provided by the dietary) and the amounts documented on
Resident 59's April Intake and Output Record, the RD stated she did not audit the total of fluid intake
provided by the nursing staff. According to the RD, the nursing staff was in charge of tallying the amounts of
liquids consumed by Resident 59. When asked about Resident 59's Novasource, the RD stated the nursing
staff would verbally inform her if Resident 59 drank his Novasource or not.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the nursing services were
provided by the appropriate staff (four of four CNAs) as evidenced by:
* Two CNAs (CNAs 9 and 10) applied the oxygen tubing and set the residents' oxygen rate.
* The facility failed to ensure CNAs 1 and 2 were provided training on the implementation of the enhanced
barrier precautions. CNAs 1 and 2 were observed not wearing a gown while transferring Resident 35 on
enhanced barrier precautions.
These failures posed the risk of the residents not receiving appropriate care.
Findings:
1. On 4/9/24 at 1220 hours, CNA 9 was observed grabbing Resident 61's oxygen tubing and placing it into
Resident 61's nostrils. CNA 9 was observed asking Resident 61's sitter whether Resident 61 was on two
liters of oxygen. CNA 9 was then observed setting the dial on Resident 61's oxygen tank.
On 4/9/24 at 1227 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 9. When asked about setting the dial on
Resident 61's oxygen tank, CNA 9 verified he set Resident 61's oxygen to two liters per minute. CNA 9
verbalized he was taught by a nurse as to how to set the number on the resident's oxygen tank and
cylinder.
Review of Resident 61's April 2024 Order Summary Report showed Resident 61 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE], with diagnoses, including acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, asthma, and anxiety disorder.
Further review the orders showed Resident 61 had an order dated 3/9/24, for oxygen via nasal cannula at
two liters per minute, may titrate oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation level greater or equal to 92%.
2. On 4/10/24, medical record review for Resident 49 was initiated. Resident 49 was readmitted to the
facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including COPD exacerbation and acute hypoxic respiratory failure.
Review of Resident 49's physician's orders showed an order dated 3/21/24, for oxygen via nasal cannula
three liters per minute, may titrate to keep oxygen saturation level at 92% or higher.
On 4/10/24 at 1512 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 10. When asked about caring for the
residents on oxygen, CNA 10 verbalized he would put the resident's oxygen tubing on, would sometimes
put on the oxygen humidifier on the resident's oxygen concentrator, and would set the oxygen levels. When
asked about setting the resident's oxygen rate, CNA 10 verbalized most residents were on two to three
liters of oxygen. When asked how he knew what number to set the oxygen setting for Resident 61, CNA 10
stated he would check with the nurse.
On 04/10/24 at 1606 hours, the DSD verified the CNAs were not to touch the residents' oxygen.

to Prevent Spread of MDROs, showed MDRO transmission is common in long-term care facilities such as
nursing homes, contributing to substantial resident morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare costs.
Many residents in nursing homes are at increased risk of becoming colonized and developing infections
with MDROs. Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) refer to an infection control intervention designed to
reduce transmission of MDROs that employs targeted gown and glove use during high-contact resident
care activities. EBP are used in conjunction with standard precautions and expand the use of PPE to
donning of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for
transfer of MDROs to staff hands and clothing.
On 4/10/24 at 0927 hours, an Enhanced Barrier Precautions sign was observed posted outside Resident
35's room alerting anyone to perform hand hygiene before entering and when leaving the room. The sign
also alerted the providers and staff to wear gloves and a gown for high-contact resident care activities. A
number 6 was observed beside Resident 35's name by the door. A cart containing gowns was observed
inside the room. CNAs 1 and 2 were observed assisting Resident 35 transfer from bed to wheelchair. CNAs
1 and 2 were wearing gloves but not wearing gowns.
On 4/10/24 at 0941 hours, an observation for Resident 35 and concurrent interview was conducted with
CNA 1. CNA 1 verified the above findings. CNA 1 verified the Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign placed
outside Resident 35's room, with a number 6 besides Resident 35's name by the door. CNA 1 verified she
transferred Resident 35 from bed to wheelchair, with CNA 2. CNA 1 verified they were only wearing gloves,
and not gown while transferring Resident 35. When asked if they had received any inservice training on
EBP, CNA 1 answered yes, but did not remember when the last training was.
On 4/11/24 at 1539 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the IP.
The IP stated when an Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign was placed by the door and the resident's name
was marked with a number 6, the staff who provided the high-contact care activities should wear gloves
and a gown, in addition to hand hygiene. The IP stated high-contact resident care activities included
transferring, or mobility assistance and preparing the resident to leave the room. When asked if she had
provided inservice training to the facility staff regarding EBP, the IP stated she had provided an inservice
training to all the staff, including the CNAs, licensed nurses, therapists, and students, to which she showed
the inservice training records.
Review of the Inservice Training Report dated 4/1/24, for the Implementation of ESP (Enhanced Standard
Precaution)/ EBP for all staff did not show CNAs 1 and 2 were provided an inservice training on ESP/ EBP.
The IP verified the above findings.

licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide
the pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of the residents when:
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure all controlled medications were accurately documented for one of 19 final
sampled residents (Resident 61) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 46).
* The facility failed to ensure the oral and IV E-Kit(s) for Nursing Station A were refilled/replaced by
pharmacy within 72 hours of opening the E-Kit(s).
These failures posed the risk for diversion of the controlled medications and medication administration
errors; and timely replacement of medication for emergency use.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Controlled Substance Administration and Accountability revised 6/5/23,
showed it is the policy of this facility to promote safe, high quality patient care, compliant with state and
federal regulations regarding monitoring the use of controlled substances. The facility will have safeguards
in place in order to prevent loss, diversion or accidental exposure. All controlled substances (Schedule II,
III, IV, V) are accounted for in one of the following ways: All controlled substances obtained from a
non-automated medication cart or cabinet are recorded on the designated usage form. Written
documentation must be clearly legible with all applicable information provided.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Preparation and General Guidelines IIA7: Controlled Substance revised
10/2019, showed when a controlled substance is administered, the license nurse administering the
medication immediately enters the following on the accountability record and/or medication administration
records (MAR):
- Date and time of administration (MAR, Accountability record)
- Amount administered (Accountability record)
- Remaining quantity (Accountability record)
- Signature of the nurse administering the dose on the accountability record at the time the medication is
removed
from supply.
- Initials of the nurse administering the dose.
1. On 4/11/24 at 1230 hours, an interview and concurrent medication cart inspection of Medication Cart C
was conducted with LVN 3. During the inspection of Medication Cart C, the Controlled Medication Count
sheets were reviewed with LVN 3. The form titled Antibiotic Or Controlled Drug Record showed a count of
eight tablets remaining for lorazepam (medication to relieve anxiety) 0.5 mg for Resident 61. The form
showed the last written entry for Count #9 with the month of 4 (April), untimed, and

with staff signature. However, review of Resident 61's medication bubble pack/card containing lorazepam
0.5 mg tablet showed nine tablets remaining. LVN 3 verified the controlled count sheet and the medication
supply on hand did not match. LVN 3 stated he popped the medication out of the bubble pack; however, the
lorazepam was not due; and he signed it but left it in the bubble pack. LVN 3 further stated Resident 61
were to receive the lorazepam every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; and he had signed it by mistake.
When asked for the facility's process when an error occurred pertaining to controlled medications, LVN 3
stated he should have crossed out the entry right away in the Controlled Drug Record to correct the error
he made.
2. On 4/11/24 at 1232 hours, an interview and concurrent medication cart inspection of Medication Cart C
was conducted with LVN 3. During the inspection of Medication Cart C, the Controlled Medication Count
sheets were reviewed with LVN 3. The form titled Antibiotic Or Controlled Drug Record showed a count of
six tablets for clonazepam (medication to relieve anxiety or control seizures) 2 mg for Resident 46. The form
showed a last written entry for Count #7 on 4/11/24 at 0900 hours, with staff signature. However, review of
Resident 46's medication bubble pack/card containing clonazepam 2 mg showed seven tablets remaining.
LVN 3 verified the Controlled Medication Count sheet and the medication supply on hand did not match.
When LVN 3 was asked if he performed a count today with the previous shift for the controlled medications,
LVN 3 stated yes. LVN 3 further verified he signed the clonazepam out for 4/11/24 at 0900 hours; however,
he did not take the medication out of the bubble pack and did not administer the medication to Resident 46
because the resident had been sleeping since 0900 hours.
3. Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Ordering and Receiving from Pharmacy IC5: Emergency
Pharmacy Service and Emergency Kits dated 8/2014, showed if exchanging kits, the used sealed kits are
replaced with the new sealed kits within 72 hours of opening.
On 4/9/24 at 1023 hours, an inspection of Medication Room A and concurrent interview was conducted
with the DSD. The oral E-kit showed a fill date of 4/4/24, and the IV E-kit showed a pack date of 4/8/24. The
DSD verified the fill date/pack date for the oral and IV E-Kit(s).
Review of the oral E-kit log showed showed oxycodone (controlled pain medication) 5 mg was taken out on
3/27/24 at 1130 hours.
Review of the IV E-Kit Pharmacy Log showed Flagyl (an antibiotic to treat infection) 500 mg was taken out
of the E-kit on 3/31/24.
On 4/10/24 1156 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the DON.
When asked about the process of removing a medication from the E kit, the DON stated the facility must
first obtain authorization from the pharmacy to open the E-kit before opening the E-Kit and the nurses were
supposed to log each time a medication was pulled from the E-Kit. The DON verified the oral and IV
E-Kit(s) were not replaced within 72 hours. The DON further stated either the medications removed from
the E-Kit(s) were not being logged accordingly on the E-Kit log or the E-Kit replacement was not ordered on
time.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**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 the Pharmacy
Consultant's recommendations were acted upon for one of five unnecessary medication sampled residents
(Resident 23).
* The facility failed to follow-up on the Pharmacy Consultant recommendation to monitor for CNS (central
nervous system) and respiratory depression for Resident 23 who was taking routine gabapentin (nerve pain
medication), methadone (opioid narcotic analgesic), and Dilaudid (opioid narcotic analgesic) medications.
In addition, the facility failed to follow-up on the Pharmacy Consultant recommendation to place hold
parameters for gabapentin medication for Resident 23.
These failures had the potential to put the resident at risk for adverse consequences related to the
medications.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Regimen Review revised date 12/19/22, showed medication
regimen review (MRR) or drug regimen review, is a thorough evaluation of the mediation regimen of a
resident, with a goal of promoting positive outcomes and minimizing adverse consequences and potential
risks associated with the medication. The facility staff shall act upon all recommendations according to
procedures for addressing medication regimen review irregularities.
Medical record review for Resident 23 was initiated on 4/9/24. Resident 23 was readmitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 23's Order Summary Report showed the following physician's orders dated:
- On 3/22/24, to administer methadone 15 mg by mouth two times a day for moderate to severe pain;
- On 3/28/24, to administer gabapentin 800 mg one tablet by mouth three times a day neuropathy (a
condition that affects the nerves outside the brain or spinal cord); and
- On 3/28/24, to administer hydromorphone (Dilaudid) four mg one tablet by mouth as needed for moderate
pain for 60 days.
Review of the Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regimen Review for Resident 19 dated 3/26/24, showed
to monitor for CNS and respiratory depression, and to clarify order for the gabapentin medication to hold if
the respiratory rate less than 10 breaths per minute. Resident 23 was receiving routine gabapentin,
methadone, and Dilaudid. This combination can potentiate the effects of the opiate on respiration, CNS
depression, sedation, and hypotension. Under the Follow-Through section showed a handwritten note
showing as per resident, she was taking before, doesn't want to change.
On 2/8/24 at 1001 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 23 was
conducted with RN 2. RN 2 verified the above findings. RN 2 stated she was responsible for following up on
the pharmacy consultant's recommendations. When asked about the pharmacy consultant's
recommendations for Resident 23, RN 2 stated she wrote on the follow-through section that Resident 23
did not

rate was below 5%. The facility's medication error rate was 24%. Two licensed nurses (LVNs 1 and 4) who
were observed during the medication administration were found to have made errors.
Residents Affected - Few
* LVN 1 failed to check Resident 53's heart rate prior to administering metoprolol (blood pressure
medication) per the physician's orders. In addition, Resident 53 received partial dose for one medicaiton
when residual of the medication was left in the medication cup.
* Resident 72 received partial doses for three medications when residual of the medications were left in the
medication cups.
These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents' health status and well-being.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Administration- General Guidelines dated October 2017
showed the medications are administered as prescribed in accordance with good nursing principles and
practices.
1.a. On 4/10/24 at 0915 hours, a medication administration observation for Resident 53 was conducted with
LVN 1. LVN 1 prepared and administered Resident 53's medications which included the following:
- one tablet of apixaban 5 mg (medication to treat and prevent blood clots)
- one tablet of aspirin 81 mg (medication use to treat pain, headache, inflammation and reduce the risk of a
heart attack)
- 35 units of Basaglar insulin (medication use to treat diabetes)
- one tablet of metoprolol tartate 100 mg (medication use to treat high blood pressure)
- five ml of multivitamin with mineral (supplement)
- one tablet of vitamin C (supplement).
LVN 1 was observed pouring water into the medication cup containing the crushed metoprolol tablet. LVN 1
was then observed reaching for the GT syringe, however, LVN 1 was immediately instructed to stop and
step away from the resident. When LVN 1 was asked if she knew why she was instructed to stop the
medication administration, LVN 1 stated she did not know. LVN 1 stated she needed to check Resident 53's
pulse rate first prior to administering the metoprolol medication but forgot. LVN 1 was then observed
checking Resident 53's pulse rate and administering the metoprolol via GT.
Review of Resident 53's Order Summary Report dated 4/11/24 showed a physician's order to administer
metoprolol tartate 100 mg one tablet via GT two times a day for HTN (hypertension), hold if SBP (systolic
blood pressure) less than 110 mmHg or HR (heart rate) less than 60 beats per minute.

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** 5. Review of
the facility's P&P titled Medication Storage in the Facility dated 4/2008 showed to ensure medications are
stored safely, securely and properly, only licensed nurses, pharmacy personnel and those lawfully
authorized are allowed to access to medications.
On [DATE] at 0848 hours, during an observation in the hallway near Station 2, a zinc oxide ointment was
placed on top of the Treatment Cart, unattended by the licensed nurse.
On [DATE] at 0849 hours, an interview was conducted with RN 3. RN 3 stated the zinc oxide ointment
medication should be stored inside the Treatment Cart and not left unattended.
On [DATE] at 1307 hours, an interview was with LVN 2. LVN 2 stated it was his honest mistake. The
licensed nurses should not leave any medication on top of treatment cart and that some residents may be
confused , might take it and use it in different way.
On [DATE] at 1440 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the zinc oxide
ointment should not be left unattended on top of the Treatment Cart and should be stored properly in the
Treatment Cart.
Based on observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the medications were
stored and labeled properly and failed to ensure the drugs and biologicals were stored in a safe manner
when:
* One of two medication rooms (Medication Room A) had one opened, unsealed package of IV Statlock
PICC Plus (a device to secure an IV catheter from kinking which could lead to blockage of fluids going
through the vein).
* The facility's Central Supply Room was observed to contain artificial tears, earwax softener drops, dry eye
relief, muscle rub cream, and enema bottles stored on the same shelf next to the oral medications such as
calcium, omeprazole, sodium chloride, and fish oil.
* The facility's treatment cart was observed to contain the expired dressings, topical creams with labels not
readable; and the treatment supplies and cart were not maintained in a sanitary condition.
* Two of three medication carts (Medication Carts A and C) contained the medication bottles with sticky
residue, and Medication Cart A had an expired medication inside the medication cart.
* The facility failed to ensure zinc oxide ointment medication was safely stored in the Treatment Cart. The
zinc oxide was observed on top of the Treatment Cart unattended by a licensed staff.
These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents' well-being and unauthorized persons
having access to the medications.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 6. Review of
the facility's document titled Enhanced Standard Precautions (undated) showed everyone must perform
hand hygiene before entering the room. The document also showed anyone who participate in any of the
six moments must also don gown, and gloves. The six moments included morning and evening care,
toileting and changing incontinence briefs, caring for devices and giving medical treatment, cleaning the
environment, wound care, and mobility assistance and preparing to leave the room.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of the CMS QSO-24-08-NH dated 3/20/24, for Enhanced Barrier Precautions in Nursing Homes to
Prevent Spread of MDROs, showed MDRO transmission is common in long-term care facilities such as
nursing homes, contributing to substantial resident morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare costs.
Many residents in nursing homes are at increased risk of becoming colonized and developing infections
with MDROs. Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) refer to an infection control intervention designed to
reduce transmission of MDROs that employs targeted gown and glove use during high-contact resident
care activities. EBP are used in conjunction with standard precautions and expand the use of PPE to
donning of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for
transfer of MDROs to staff hands and clothing.
On 4/10/24 at 0927 hours, an Enhanced Barrier Precautions sign was observed posted outside Resident
35's room alerting anyone to perform hand hygiene before entering and when leaving the room. The sign
also alerted the providers and staff to wear gloves and a gown for high-contact resident care activities. A
number 6 was observed beside Resident 35's name by the door. A cart containing gowns was observed
inside the room. CNAs 1 and 2 were observed assisting Resident 35 transfer from bed to wheelchair. CNAs
1 and 2 were wearing gloves but were not observed wearing gowns.
On 4/10/24 at 0941 hours, an observation for Resident 35 and concurrent interview was conducted with
CNA 1. CNA 1 verified the above findings. CNA 1 verified the Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign placed
outside Resident 35's room, with a number 6 besides Resident 35's name by the door. CNA 1 verified she
transferred Resident 35 from the bed to wheelchair with CNA 2. CNA 1 verified they were only wearing
gloves, and not gown while transferring Resident 35.
Medical record review for Resident 35 was initiated on 4/9/24. Resident 35 was readmitted to the facility
11/12/19.
Review of Resident 35's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 4/3/24, for enhanced
barrier precaution to prevent the spread of infections for specific care activities such as morning and
evening care, toileting and changing incontinent briefs, caring for devices and giving medical treatments,
wound care, mobility assistance and preparing to leave the room, and cleaning and disinfecting the
environment every shift for indwelling medical device.
On 4/11/24 at 1539 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 35 was
conducted with the IP. The IP verified the above findings. The IP stated when an Enhanced Barrier
Precaution sign was placed by the door and the resident's name was marked with a number 6, the staff
who provided the high-contact care activities should wear gloves and a gown, in addition to hand hygiene.
The IP stated high-contact resident care activities included transferring, or mobility assistance and
preparing the resident to leave the room.

Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure one glucometer
(Glucometer C) from one of five medication carts (Medication Cart C) was maintained in safe operating
condition. This failure had the potential for residents requiring glucose checks to have inaccurate readings.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the Assure Platinum Blood Glucose Monitoring System Instruction Manual, under Quality
Checks, showed to use Assure Dose Control Solutions to check if the meter and test strips are working
correctly as a system, and if the test is correct. A control solution test is performed when a new bottle of
test strips is opened.
On 4/11/24 at 1245 hours, Medication Cart C inspection was conducted with LVN 3. One glucometer
(Glucometer C) was observed inside the top drawer of Medication Cart C. The bottle of Assure Platinum
Blood Glucose Test Strips was observed with an open date of 4/11/24, and Lot No. 012523B. A bottle of
control solution was observed with the control solution range for Level 1 was 84-105 mg/dl, and the control
solution range for Level 2 was 203-253 mg/dl.
On 4/11/24 at 1246 hours, an interview and concurrent review of the Assure 3 Blood Glucose Monitoring
System: Daily Quality Control Record for Glucometer C was conducted with LVN 3. The Daily Quality
Control Record for April 2024 showed the quality control checks for the glucometer was checked every day.
However, the information on the log for Glucometer C with the date of 4/11/24, did not match the test strips
Lot No. and the control solution ranges on the control solution bottle. The log for Glucometer C dated
4/11/24, showed the test strips Lot No. was 120623A, Level 1 control range was 84-104 mg/dl, and Level 2
control range was 201-251 mg/dl. LVN 3 verified the findings and also verified there was no other bottle of
the glucose test strips inside Medication Cart C to match the documentation dated 4/11/24, in the Assure 3
Blood Glucose Monitoring System: Daily Quality Control Record for Glucometer C. LVN 3 stated the
glucometer quality control was done by the night shift (2300-0700 hours) licensed nurse. LVN 3 verified and
acknowledged the findings. LVN 3 further stated the quality control checks must be done whenever a new
bottle of test strips was opened.
