Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to appropriately administer medication
when one of 35 sampled residents (Resident 414) was self-administering medication without being
appropriately assessed and approved for self-administration.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for Resident 414 to aspirate (choking, the accidental inhalation of food, liquid,
or other material into the lungs) from improperly administered medication.
Findings:
Review of Resident 414's History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/8/22, indicated Resident 414 had diagnoses
including impaired mobility, impaired activities of daily living, left hemiparesis (weakness or the inability to
move on one side of the body) and dysphagia (difficulty of swallowing).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/29/25 at 11:02 AM with Resident 414, a half full cup of
thick, dark orange colored liquid was seen on top of Resident 414's bedside table. Resident 414 drank it
and stated, It's orange juice that tastes like Metamucil (a medication for constipation), when asked what it
was.
During an interview on 4/29/25 at 11:22 AM in Resident 414's room, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4
acknowledged the thick, dark orange colored liquid found on Resident 414's bedside table was Metamucil
mixed with orange juice.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/29/25 at 11:25 AM with LVN 4, Resident 414's
electronic medical record was reviewed. The record indicated on 4/29/25 at 8:25 AM, Resident 414's
prescribed and scheduled Metamucil was administered. LVN 4 acknowledged Resident 414 was not
observed taking the medication in full amount since the resident prefers to consume the Metamucil at his
own pace. LVN 4 further stated, nursing staff to stay and observe the resident and to ensure the resident
has taken the medication in whole amount when asked regarding the expectation during medication
administration.
During an interview on 4/30/25 at 10:27 AM, LVN 4 stated, Resident 414 couldn't open the packet
(medication) on his own and does not consume the Metamucil in a timely manner, LVN 4 further stated,
Resident 414 is not capable to self-administer medication.
During an interview on 4/30/25 at 11:40 AM, Nurse Manager (NM)1 acknowledged she was made aware of
Resident 414 not consuming his Metamucil in a timely manner and medication was left at bedside without
the resident taking the full dose. NM 1 stated, I just found out yesterday after the nurse was asked about it.
NM 1 further added, self-administration assessment was done after that and the resident failed.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/30/25 at 11:45 AM with NM 1, Resident 414's
electronic health record was reviewed. The record indicated the facility had not conducted an assessment
to determine whether Resident 414 was capable and appropriate for self-administration. There was no
physician's order authorizing Resident 414 to self-administer Metamucil. Additionally, there was no care
plan addressing self-administration, nor were there interdisciplinary team (IDT) notes indicating Resident
414 can safely self-administer Metamucil on the day the resident was observed in doing so. When asked
about the risk of Resident 414 self-administering Metamucil at the bedside, NM 1

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the baseline care plan was developed within 48
hours of admission for one of 35 sampled residents (Resident 879) on ADL (Activities of Daily Living) for
oral care.
This failure had the potential to result in inadequate care and services rendered to Resident 879.
Findings:
Review of Resident 879 admission record indicated, Resident 879 was admitted on [DATE] , indicated
during admission, diagnoses including Stroke, Dysphagia (trouble swallowing), Heart Failure, Aphasia
(unable to speak), Systemic lupus erythematosus (a chronic condition where the body's immune system
attacks its own tissues).

assessment is usually done during admission and within 48 hours. NM 2 confirmed baseline care plan was
not developed within 48 hours after admission.
During an interview on 04/30/25 9:50 AM with Patient Care Assistant1 (PCA 1), PCA 1 stated for a new
admit resident we have to check the basic care plan for the patient on ADL on what to do and what the
resident do every day. If it's not on the care plan we won't do it

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to meet professional standards of quality
when:
Residents Affected - Few
1.One out of two sampled residents (Resident 183) received oxygen therapy outside the prescriber's order.
This failure could potentially result in negative outcomes for Resident 183 like shortness of breath, fatigue
and confusion.
2.Two residents out of 42 sampled residents reviewed for medication administration (Resident 44 and
Resident 155) received medication outside the prescriber's order and parameters. These failures resulted in
Resident 44 receiving prescription medication Glipizide (a medication to treat high blood sugar) 10 mg
tablet for type 2 diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar) outside prescribing parameters and Resident 155
receiving incorrect application of Lidocaine 5% patch for pain outside the prescriber's order.
These failures have the potential for Resident 183, Resident 44, and Resident 155 to receive inadequate
care.
Findings:
1.Review of Resident 183's MDS (minimum data set - a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 4/7/25, indicated Resident 183 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a lung disease that makes breathing hard) and had a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, MDS tool that measures resident cognition) score of 15, indicating intact
cognitive function.
During an observation on 4/29/25 at 10:26 AM, Resident 183 was observed breathing through his mouth
while receiving oxygen (O2) at 1 liter per minute (lpm, unit that express flow rate) via nasal cannula (a
medical device that provides supplemental oxygen to a resident through the nose) connected to the wall
oxygen.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/29/25 at 10:46 AM with Registered Nurse (RN) 5 in
Resident 183's room, Resident 183 was receiving oxygen at 1 lpm via nasal cannula connected to the wall
oxygen. RN 5 increased the oxygen to 2 lpm and stated, It should be at 2 lpm, as ordered by the doctor.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/29/25 at 10:50 AM with RN 5, Resident 183's
electronic health record was reviewed. The physician's order, in the record, dated 12/20/23, indicated
oxygen at 2 1pm via nasal cannula to maintain an oxygen saturation level (O2 sat, a measurement of how
much oxygen the blood is carrying as a percentage) above 92% as needed (PRN) for COPD/ history of
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, a condition when breathing stops and starts during sleep due to a blockage
in the throat). When asked about the oxygen saturation of Resident 183 for that day, RN5 stated, No oxygen
saturation was charted this morning. The last recorded oxygen saturation was on 4/27/25 at 10:13AM, two
days ago.
During an interview on 4/30/25 at 11:08 AM, Nurse Manager (NM)1 acknowledged being aware of

Resident 183's physician order for PRN oxygen at 2 lpm, which was not followed. NM 1 also confirmed the
oxygen saturation was taken but not documented in the electronic health record. NM1 stated, Resident
183's oxygen saturation was 95% the previous morning. NM 1 further stated, Resident 183 did not require
PRN oxygen based on the reading.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/1/25 at 1:04 PM with NM1, Resident 183's electronic
health record was reviewed. The record indicated on 4/29/25 at 8:31 AM, Resident 183's oxygen saturation
was 95%. However, it was not documented whether the resident was on oxygen or room air at the time of
the reading. NM1 stated, staff are expected to check oxygen saturation while the resident is on room air
especially when a PRN oxygen order is in place to determine whether supplemental oxygen is needed.
Review of Resident 183's care plan titled Problem: Respiratory-Adult, dated 3/23/22, indicated .On PRN

2. During concurrent observation, interview, and record review, the observation of Medication
Administration on 04/30/2025 showed RN6 gave Resident 44 Glipizide 10 mg tablet at 10:16 AM. Record
review of the electronic health record (EHR), for Resident 44 revealed Glipizide 10 mg tablet was ordered
for every morning before breakfast. Interview of RN6 provided confirmation that Glipizide 10 mg tablet was
administered after breakfast instead of before breakfast, at the incorrect time. RN6 confirmed breakfast for
Resident 44 was completed at 8:30 AM. RN6 confirmed order for Glipizide 10 mg tablet requires
administration every morning before breakfast.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/30/25 at 10:16 AM, RN 6 acknowledged Resident 44
did not receive Glipizide 10 mg tablet before breakfast according to the prescriber's order.
During concurrent observation, interview, and record review, the observation of Medication Administration
on 04/29/25 at 10:06 AM showed that LVN3 gave Resident 155 an application of two Lidocaine 5% patches
to the mid-lower back area and to the area over the right lower ribs. Record review of the EPIC EHR for
Resident 155 revealed the order parameters for the two Lidocaine 5% patches requires application of the
Lidocaine 5% patches to the right shoulder and to the right rib area for pain. Interview of LVN3 provided
confirmation that one Lidocaine 5% patch was incorrectly applied to the mid-lower back area, instead of the
right shoulder. LVN3 confirmed that the order parameters for Lidocaine 5% patch requires administration of
the two Lidocaine 5% patches to the right shoulder and to the right rib area for pain. LVN3 confirmed
applying one of the Lidocaine 5% patches incorrectly to the mid-lower back area. After acknowledging the
error, LVN3 corrected the error by removing the Lidocaine patch on the mid-lower back and placing it on the
right shoulder of Resident 155. Resident 155 did not receive the correct application of one Lidocaine 5%
patch to the correct location of the right shoulder according to the order parameters.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately dispose of and record disposal of
controlled drugs for one of one sampled resident reviewed for safe and secure disposal and recording
methods for controlled medications (Resident 332).
This failure could result in Resident 332 receiving an inaccurate dose or diversion of the controlled
medication.
Findings:
During an observation of Medication Room on 04/30/2025 at 10:31 AM revealed an Omnicell receipt dated
04/30/2025 with time 10:03 AM for Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/ 5mL Cup, with the names of RN3 and
RN4 noted on the receipt for Resident 332, and with an administration amount noted as 90 mg and a waste
amount noted as 10 mg.
Methadone is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, which means it is recognized for its medical
use but has a high potential for abuse and addiction. This classification indicates that even though
methadone can be prescribed for certain conditions, such as for pain management, it must be carefully
regulated to prevent misuse (UpToDate 2025).
Interview of NS2 on 04/30/2025 at 10:31 AM revealed that all Omnicell receipts are reviewed by the
Licensed Nurses (LN) at the end of the day and then discarded. NS2 confirmed RN3 was the witness for
RN4 regarding the 10 mg waste amount noted on the Omnicell receipt dated 04/30/2025 with time 10:03
AM for Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/ 5mL Cup for Resident 332.
Interview of RN3 on 04/30/2025, shortly after interviewing NS2, confirmed RN3 was the witness for the
disposal of Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/ 5mL Cup for Resident 332 on 04/30/2025 with time 10:03 AM.
RN3 was asked to verbalize the process of disposing 10 mg of the Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/ 5mL.
RN3 noted that 10 mg of Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/5 mL was first measured using a measuring cup.
RN3 noted that both the 10 mg liquid of Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/ 5mL Cup and the measuring cup
that the liquid was in, was then disposed of together in the black container with signage attached to the
front of the container that indicates PHARMACEUTICAL WASTE/DISPOSAL FOR ALL
NON-CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WASTE, because it did not fit in the PRO SERIES RX Destroyer with
signage attached to the front of the container that indicates FOR CONTROLLEDSUBSTANCE
WASTE/DISPOSAL.
Interview of NS2 on 04/30/2025, immediately after interview of RN3, confirmed correct process for disposal
of 10 mg of Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/5 mL that should start with pouring the liquid into the PRO
SERIES RX Destroyer FOR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WASTE/DISPOSAL and disposal of the cup into

Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition
service.
Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure that one out of
one kitchen staff was competent when testing sanitizer (a substance or product that reduces or eliminates
microorganisms such as bacteria on surfaces to a safe level) strength used to sanitize food contact
surfaces.
This failure had the potential to result in compromising infection control and resident safety.
Findings:
During an observation and interview on 4/28/25 at 1:45 PM with Food Service Supervisor (FSS)1, FSS1
stated he was responsible for testing the sanitizer strength for the sanitizer used in the red buckets
(sanitizer used to test food contact surfaces). FSS1 demonstrated how he tested the sanitizer strength.
FSS1 held a sanitizer test strip in the sanitizer solution inside a red bucket for 20-21 seconds then
immediately compared the color of the strip to the color chart on the test strip packaging to determine the
concentration. When FSS1 was asked how many seconds the test strip was to be held in the solution,
FSS1 stated for about 10 seconds.
Review of the manufacturer's label on the test strip container showed to immerse the strip in solution for 5
seconds, then evaluate the color 10 seconds after removing the test strip from the sample. Match the
center of the test strip pad to the color chart to determine concentration.
During a facility document review of Food & Nutrition Services Department In-Service: Three Bucket
Sanitizing Method, dated December 2024, the Department In-Service indicated FSS1 was in attendance.
Furthermore, included in the Department In-Service documents of December 2024, titled Policies &
Procedures: 1.165 General Cleaning and Sanitizing work Surfaces and Kitchen or Galley Equipment 16) It
is important to follow the policy and procedure on testing the concentration of Sink & Surface Cleaner
Sanitizer. This will be done by Chef, Supervisor or team-Leader twice daily to ensure that the chemical is
being effective.
During an interview on 5/1/25 at 11:15 AM, the Food Service Manager (FSM) stated she conducted the
In-Service training for the Three Bucket Sanitizing Method on December 2024, but the training did not
include how long to immerse the test strip in the solution.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure (P & P) titled, 1.80 Testing of correct titration for Sanitizer,
revised 8/24, was to ensure that the department approved chemical used for sanitizing food service work
equipment and surfaces are at the correct titration . Procedure: 1. Twice a day (AM and PM) the Supervisor,
Chef, or designee will test titration with proper testing strips to ensure that it's at appropriate Parts Per
Million (PPM) for sanitizing the work surface area and food service equipment.

food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure that food stored in
a resident refrigerator located in a great room (great room is the large resident dining area on each
unit/floor) were stored according to professional standards for food service safety when:
1.
Lunch meat was not discarded according to manufacturer's instructions; and
2.
Food items intended to be stored frozen were not stored frozen.
The failure to store food according to the manufacturer's instructions for two residents (Resident 1 and
Resident 420) out of 506 residents had the potential to result in food borne illness his practice poses a risk
to residents' health and safety by potentially compromising food quality and safety.

Dispose of garbage and refuse properly.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure one, full, outside
refuse (garbage) container lid was closed, and that outside recycle and compost bins were cleaned.
Residents Affected - Many
This failure had the potential to attract pests such as rodents and insects resulting in the spread of disease
to all residents for a facility census of 506.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview with Food Service Director (FSD) on 4/29/25 at 10:21 AM,
showed two black garbage bins stored against a building across from the kitchen loading dock area. One
garbage bin was filled to the top and the lid was open. Contents of the open garbage bin included used
food containers.
During a concurrent observation outside behind the kitchen across from the loading dock area and
interview on 4/30/25 at 10:21 AM, the Director of Emergency Management (DEM) confirmed the full
garbage bin lid was opened and stated the lid should be closed.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/30/25 at 10:23 AM, with DEM and the Executive
Director of Facility Services (EDFS), showed compost and recycle bins stored on the grounds behind and
off to the side of the back kitchen, loading dock area. There were over 60 bins (blue and green). Flies were
flying around the bins. The majority of the bins had black residue on the outside surface. Three blue recycle
bins lids were opened to observe the contents. Two blue bins were filled with empty food containers. There
was black residue on the inside surface of the bins, including the inside surface of the bin lid. One of the
blue bins was mostly empty with some garbage and empty food containers at the bottom. The inside
surface of the bin was covered in black residue. Four green bins were opened to view the contents. All of
the bins were mostly empty with what appeared to be food residue and pieces of garbage at the bottom
and some black residue on the inside surfaces. In addition, the green bins were wet inside. EDFS stated the
bins were not clean. The DEM stated the bins were emptied once at the end of the day, and pressure
washed once per month.
According to the 2022 Federal Food Code, receptacles for outdoor refuse, recyclables, and returnables, are
to have tight fitting lids and shall be cleaned at a frequency necessary to prevent them from developing a
buildup of soil or becoming attractants for insects and rodents.

An observation and interview in the kitchen on 4/29/25 at 10:00 AM., showed at least 15 small flies on the
ceiling above refuse, recycling bin area. In addition, there were also at least four flies on the ceiling in the
food production/trayline area. The Food Service Director (FSD) confirmed there were flies on the ceiling
and stated he was not aware of the flies in the kitchen. FSD stated the pest company serviced the kitchen
three times a week. FSD stated if staff noticed flies, the staff placed a work order to Facilities and Facilities
notified the pest company. FSD stated it had been a while since a work order was placed for flies in the
kitchen.
During an interview with Food Service Supervisor (FSS) 2 on 5/2/25 at 9:34 AM, FSS 2 stated whenever
she observed flies in the kitchen, she documented on a checklist and placed a workorder.
During consecutive document review and interview with FSS 2 on 5/2/25 at 9:35 AM, the Kitchen &
Café Inspection Checklist dated 4/15/25, and 4/25/25 showed flies were identified by FSS 2.
Checklists dated 4/11/25 and 4/25/25 showed a work order was placed for flies. FSS 2 confirmed she
identified flies in the kitchen on 4/11/25, 4/15/25 and 4/25/25 but she was not sure if a work order was
placed on 4/15/25. FSS 2 stated she often noticed flies in the meat chopper food production area.
Review of Web Request Work Order dated 4/11/25 (work order number 20795), and 4/26/25 (work order
20967) showed the work orders were created by FSS 2 for fruit flies at pot washer area ceiling and meat
chopper ceiling (20795) and at shredder bin area around (20967). Documentation for work order 20794,
showed the work order was placed on 4/11/25 and on 4/14/25, the pest company inspected and vacuumed
25 fruit flies around the chopper area. Documentation for work order 20967 showed the work order was
placed on 4/26/25 and on 4/28/25 the pest company inspected and vacuumed fruit flies.
During an interview with FSD on 5/2/25 at 10:05 AM, FSD stated while the pest company was notified of fly
activity in April 2025 and the pest company conducted their regular pest service in the kitchen, specific
action to eliminate flies was not taken.
According to the 2022 Federal Food Code, premises (physical facility) shall be maintained free from insects
and other pests.
