F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure professional standards were followed when nursing staff failed to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) while handling hazardous medication (medications that can cause serious effects including cancer, organ toxicity, fertility problems, genetic damage, and birth defects if not handled appropriately).This failure had the potential to result in unwanted exposure to hazardous medications leading to health complications. Findings:During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Administration General Guidelines, dated 1/24, the P&P indicated, Medications are administered as prescribed in accordance with manufacturers specifications, good nursing principles and practices and only by persons legally authorized to do so. Personnel authorized to administer medications do so only after they have familiarized themselves with the medication.A review of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 's current recommendations for addressing the health and safety hazards faced by healthcare workers titled, Controlled Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Drugs, indicated, IV. Work Areas. B. Administration of Drugs to Patients: Administration of hazardous drugs (HDs) to patients is generally performed by nurses or physicians. The potential for occupational exposure exists for every route of drug administration. Drug Administration: HDs are administered through many different routes, in several types of settings, and for numerous disease states, Safe handling is required for all HDs no matter how they are used. (https://www.osha.gov/hazardous-drugs/controlling-occex; accessed 1/22/26)During a medication pass observation on 1/13/25 at approximately 8:30 am with Licensed Nurse 4 (LN 4), LN 4 was observed preparing three medications for Resident 23, including phenytoin (a medication to treat seizures) 100 milligrams (mg, a unit of measurement), 2 capsules. The pharmacy label affixed to the bubble pack indicated the medication was hazardous. LN 4 prepared the medications without wearing gloves or any other personal protective equipment.During an interview on 1/13/25 at 9:05 am with LN4, LN 4 stated the expectation is to use gloves when handling phenytoin and confirmed they did not wear any during the medication preparation or administration.During an interview on 1/13/25 at 2:43 pm with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated that proper precautions, including the use of gloves, were expected during medication administration.

Two controlled medications were signed out of the Controlled Drug Record (CDR, an inventory sheet that keeps record of the usage of controlled medications) but were not accurately documented on the Medication Administration Record (MAR) to indicate they were administered to the resident.This failure resulted in the facility being unable to ensure accurate accountability of controlled medications and had the potential for diversion or misuse, unavailability of emergency medications when needed, and failure to meet the resident's therapeutic needs, placing the resident at risk for worsening of their medical conditions.Findings:A review of Resident 16's medical record indicated Resident 16 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included anxiety, high blood pressure, and fracture of thoracic vertebra (a break in the bones of the middle back.)Resident 16 had a physician's order dated 7/1/24, for tramadol (a medication to treat pain) 50 milligrams (mg, a unit of measure), 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for moderate to severe pain. The CDR indicated 1 tablet was signed out on 8/11/25 at 5 pm, 12/20/25 at 8:15 am, 12/24/25 at 7:30 am, and 12/31/25 at 7:30 am. The MAR did not indicate tramadol was administered to Resident 16 for these dates and times.Resident 16 had a physician's order dated 9/23/25, for Ativan (a medication to treat anxiety) 0.5 mg, 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for anxiety. The CDR indicated 1 tablet was signed out on 10/1/25 at 5 am. The MAR did not indicate Ativan was administered to Resident 16 on this date.During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/13/26 at 2:43 pm with Director of Nursing (DON), DON confirmed the CDRs and MARs for Resident 16's tramadol and Ativan were not accurate. The DON stated that when a controlled medication is administered, it is signed out of CDR and the MAR, and the dates and times must reconcile between the two records.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Medication Administration General Guidelines, dated 01/24, indicated, the individual who administers the medication dose, records the administration of the residents MAR immediately following the medication being given. In no case should the individual who administered the medication report off duty without first recording the administration of any medications.

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of five sampled residents (Resident 9 and Resident 29) were free of significant medication errors when both residents received latanoprost eye drops (a medication to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension) multiple times (doses) past the expiration date.This failure had the potential for ineffective use of the latanoprost eye drops, placing the residents at risk for worsening of their medical conditions.Findings: During a concurrent record review and inspection of Medication Cart 1 on 1/12/26 at 1:25 pm alongside Licensed Nurse 3 (LN 3), two bottles of latanoprost eye drops opened 11/14/25 for Resident 9 and 29, were identified. LN3 reviewed the manufacturer's labeling on the bottle which indicated, Opened bottle may be stored at room temperature for 6 weeks. LN 3 confirmed both eye drops had expired on 12/26/25. She stated nursing staff had continued to administer the eye drops to Resident 9 and 29 beyond their expiration date, and confirmed that medication can be less effective when used beyond the expiration date.A review of Resident 9's medical record indicated a physician's order for latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005%, instill 1 drop in both eyes at bedtime for glaucoma, dated 11/20/25.A review of Resident 9's December 2025 and January 2026 Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated latanoprost was administered to Resident 9 sixteen times past the expiration date.A review of Resident 29's medical record indicated a physician's order for latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005%, instill 1 drop in both eyes at bedtime for glaucoma, dated 11/25/25.A review of Resident 29's December 2025 and January 2026 MAR indicated latanoprost was administered to Resident 29 sixteen times past the expiration date.During an interview on 1/13/26 at 2:43 pm with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated nursing staff were expected to check the expiration date of a medication prior to administration. He stated that if there was an earlier expiration date after first use, that was to be added to the medication label. The DON stated this was to ensure the effectiveness of the medication.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Medication Administration General Guidelines, dated 1/24, the policy indicated that nursing staff are required to place a date opened label on applicable medications and document the date opened. The policy further indicated that certain medications, including multidose vials and ophthalmic drops, have shortened beyond use dates once opened to ensure medication purity and potency, and the manufacturer recommendations for beyond use dating are to be followed.A review of the manufacturer's labeling for latanoprost, revised 8/2011, the labeling indicated, . Once a bottle is opened for use, it may be stored at room temperature up to 25 C (77 F) for 6 weeks.According to an article dated 10/31/25 by the United States Food and Drug Administration, Expired medical products can be less effective or risky due to a change in chemical composition or a decrease in strength. Certain expired medications are at risk of bacterial growth and sub-potent antibiotics can fail to treat infections, leading to more serious illnesses and antibiotic resistance. Once the expiration date has passed there is no guarantee that the medicine will be safe and effective. If your medicine has expired, do not use it.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure opened multi-dose medications and biologicals were dated with an open and discard date to ensure they were not used beyond the discard date, and expired medications were not available for resident use.This failure had the potential for residents to receive medications or biologicals with unsafe and reduced potency from being used past their discard date, and incorrect medications from inadequate labeling.Findings:During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Administration General Guidelines, dated 1/24, the P&P indicated, medication expiration dates must be checked, expired medication will not be administered to a resident, the nurse is to place a date opened label on applicable medications and document the date, and the manufacturer recommendations for beyond use dating are to be followed.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Medication Storage - Storage of Medication, dated 1/24, the P&P indicated, Insulin vials and pens are to be labeled with the date when initially opened. Outdated medications are to be immediately removed from inventory, disposed of, and documented with the pharmacy when a current order exists.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Medication Brought to the Facility by the Resident/Family, undated, the P&P indicated, when a medication brought from outside the facility is determined to be necessary for the resident, the DON and nursing staff, with support from the physician and pharmacist, are responsible for ensuring the medication is properly labeled in accordance with the facility policy and the contents have been verified by a licensed pharmacist.During an inspection of medication cart 3 on 1/12/26 at 12:50 pm alongside Licensed Nurse 5 (LN 5), one Trelegy (an inhaler used for the treatment of asthma) 100 micrograms (mcg, a unit of measurement) /62.5 mcg/25 mcg inhaler, and one Anoro (an inhaler used for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) 62.5 mcg/25 mcg inhaler both opened and unlabeled with an opened date were identified. Also, one Lantus Solostar (an insulin to treat diabetes) 100 units/milliliter (u/ml) insulin pen opened and unlabeled with an open date was identified. LN 5 confirmed the medications were available for use but lacked labels indicating the date opened. LN 5 confirmed the medications expire after a specified period once opened, which would be reflected by an open-date label, and stated they believed the insulin pen is stable for only 28 days at room temperature. During an inspection of Medication Cart 1 on 1/12/26 at 1:25 pm alongside Licensed Nurse 3 (LN 3), two bottles latanoprost (used to lower high fluid pressure within the eye) 0.005% eye drops, opened on 11/14/25 were identified. LN 3 reviewed the manufacturer's labeling on the package which indicated, Opened bottle may be stored at room temperature for 6 weeks. LN 3 confirmed both medications expired on 12/26/25. Also identified was one albuterol inhaler expired 1/2025. LN 3 confirmed the finding and stated it should not have been available in the medication cart for administration. During an interview on 1/13/26 at 2:43 pm with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated nursing staff were expected to check the expiration date of a medication prior to administration. He stated if there was a date that a medication should be disposed of before the expiration date, it should have been added to the medication label. DON stated the identified albuterol inhaler that expired 1/2025 may have been a medication the resident brought from home. The DON stated home medication was not permitted in the medication cart unless approved by the physician and labeled by the pharmacy. He stated an unlabeled medication brought from home was not permitted in the medication cart.
