Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident receive the necessary care and
treatment to prevent and treat allergic reactions, for one of four residents reviewed (Resident A) when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Resident A's allergy to aspirin (medication to treat pain, fever, headache, and inflammation. It can also
reduce the risk of heart attack) was not listed in the allergy list. Aspirin was administered to Resident A from
June 3 to 17, 2024, and June 19 to 22, 2024 (total of 19 days); and
2. Resident A did not receive medication to treat signs and symptoms of allergic reaction.
These failures resulted in Resident A to be transferred to the general acute hospital and acquired toxic
epidermal necrolysis (a rare, life-threatening skin reaction, usually caused by a medication. It's a severe
form of [NAME]-[NAME] syndrome [SJS- a rare, serious disorder of the skin and mucous membranes
usually a reaction to medication that starts with flu-like symptoms, followed by a painful rash that spreads
and blisters]).
Findings:
On July 18, 2024, at 9 a.m., an unannounced visit to the facility was conducted to investigate a complaint of
quality of care.
On July 18, 2024, at 11:05 a.m., an interview was conducted with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1. LVN
1 stated he took care of Resident A when she developed a whole-body rash. LVN 1 stated he called the
doctor, and orders were given to watch her closely and treat the rash with medicine.
On July 18, 2024, at 12:25 p.m., an interview was conducted with Resident A's family member (FM). The
FM stated Resident A developed allergies to the medications she was being given and she developed
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. The FM stated Resident A was being given medications she was allergic to
and her skin was peeling off. The FM stated Resident A had been allergic to aspirin and penicillin (an
antibiotic medicine for bacterial infections) for a long time. The FM stated when Resident A was hospitalized
with difficulty breathing when the resident was young, when she took aspirin, Tussin
(guaifenesin-medication for chest congestion), and penicillin (antibiotic to treat infections). The FM stated he
asked the staff why Resident A was receiving aspirin when she was allergic to it. The family stated when
Resident A came back from the hospital on June 17, 2024, he asked the facility, why Resident A's allergy to
penicillin was not listed on her chart, it was added, and the aspirin was still missing from the allergy list. The
family stated Resident A was already discharged to home and was having post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD- having a difficult time recovering from a terrifying event) symptoms (anxiety, difficulty sleeping) from
her allergic reaction experience.

On July 19, 2024, at 8:45 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nurses (DON). The DON
stated Resident A was admitted with allergies to aspirin and guaifenesin, the admission nurse's report
indicated the two medications were allergies, only the guaifenesin was put into the electronic medical
record for the resident. The DON stated she did not know why the allergy for aspirin was not included in the
allergy list. The DON stated the allergy list should have been reviewed closer and aspirin should have been
added. The DON stated Resident A was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and was prescribed aspirin
81mg daily. The DON stated Redsident A was prescribed Cipro for five days after she returned from the
hospital on June 21, 2024. The DON stated the cipro and aspirin were discontinued on June 22, 2024, after

effect or a true allergy. The RN stated the physician would need to be contacted to verify the medication list
and allergies, discuss the resident's reaction to

medications in the past, and determined if it is a true allergy. The RN stated it was important to educate the
resident and family on medication reactions and other medications in the same class of drugs, which may
result in similar symptoms. The RN stated when a resident does have an allergic reaction, stop the
medication, notify the doctor, order some type of antihistamine (medication used to treat allergies) or cream
to treat symptoms (rash/hives).
Residents Affected - Few
On July 24, 2024, at 3:30 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Medical Doctor (MD). The MD stated
Resident A did have aspirin listed as an allergy, when she was admitted to the facility, and upon review of
her records from the hospital, it was determined the discharging provider from the hospital had prescribed
her aspirin, for Resident A's stroke. The MD stated it was decided the benefits outweighed the risks, and
the aspirin was continued to be given. The MD stated allergies can be more of an intolerance, and not a
true allergy, when she spoke with Resident A, she was told Resident A had tingling on the tongue, and that
is considered an intolerance. The MD stated Resident A had a UTI and was placed on multiple antibiotics
for treatment. The MD stated she was aware Resident A had developed a rash, had tingling to her lips, and
a reddened tongue, another provider was covering for her that weekend. The MD stated she was aware of
the change in medication recommendations, and when the resident developed symptoms of tachycardia (a
fast heart rate) and hypoxia (not enough oxygen in the body), IV (intravenous- giving a medicine or other
substance through a tube inserted into a vein) fluids and oxygen were ordered. The MD stated Resident A
could have been prescribed an antihistamine (medication given for allergies) to help with the allergic
reaction symptoms, the on-call provider wanted to send the resident to the emergency room, however the
family felt she was dehydrated and wanted the resident to receive the fluids, at the facility. The MD stated
she came to see Resident A, Resident A was having an allergic reaction and the rash had advanced
rapidly, the rash began to blister and open up, and Resident A was sent to the hospital. The MD stated it
was protocol for staff to call the physician about allergies versus the medication orders to clarify before
having medications filled from the pharmacy, she does not remember if the staff at the facility had called
her about Resident A's order for aspirin. The MD concluded Resident A did develop an allergic reaction to
the medications given, she is not sure if it was the aspirin or the antibiotics, which caused Stevens-Johnson
Syndrome to develop.
On July 29, 2024, Resident A's hospital medical records were reviewed. Resident A's ED (emergency
department) to Hospital Admission, dated June 25, 2024, indicated, .Reason for visit w/ (with) Dx
(diagnoses) .chief complaint: Rash .TENS (toxic epidermal necrolysis-a severe skin reaction, a
life-threatening condition, causes peeling and blistering over the body, including the mouth, eyes and
genitals - it is the most severe form of [NAME]-[NAME] syndrome-caused by a reaction to medications)
.drug reaction .Reason for admission to the Hospital .Pt (patient) was transferred from (name of hospital)

tongue with ASA, pt. switched to Plavix (blood thinner) on 6/23 (June 23) .On 6/21 (June 21) pt began to
