Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents had the right to
self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team determined that this practice was clinically
appropriate for 1 of 5 resident (Resident #12) reviewed for medication self-administration.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility did not assess Resident #12 for self-administration safety.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving medication as ordered and ingesting an incorrect
amount of medication.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #12's admission MDS, dated [DATE], and revealed a [AGE] year-old female who
was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #12 had diagnoses which included cancer, arthritis (joint
inflammation), Alzheimer's disease (a disease that destroys memory and other mental functions), and
rheumatoid arthritis (inflammatory disorder affecting joints). Her BIMS is 11. Scores between 0-7 indicate
severe cognitive impairment, scores between 8 and 12 indicate moderate impairment, while scores above
13 indicate little to no impairment.
Record review of Resident #12's Order Summary Report revealed an order for 10ml of Storm Wash (liquid
oral medication used for sores in mouth and throat) for mouth before meals and at bedtime for throat
cancer. Swish and swallow 10ml 5 minutes before meals and at bedtime. The start date for the medication
was 03/29/2025 with no end date.
Record review of Resident #12's Care Plan, dated 03/29/2025, did not indicate that self-administration of
medications was care planned. In addition, the care plan did not address the medication. No documentation
in the care plan was found regarding the medication.
Record review of Resident #12's assessments and progress notes, dated from 03/28/2025 to 04/07/2025,
did not reveal the resident had been instructed in the proper use of the bedside medication, which included
demonstrating appropriate use of the medication, and documentation of this education in the medical
record.
Observations on 04/06/2025 at 9:30 AM revealed two unsecured prescription bottles of [NAME] Wash on
Resident #12's nightstand. The label read, [NAME] Wash 1:1:1:1, swish and swallow 10 ml 5 minutes
before meals and at bedtime. No medication measuring cups were noted in the room and no locked boxes
or locked drawers were observed.

Residents Affected - Some
In an interview on 04/15/2025 at 10:02 AM with the Pharmacy Technician revealed [NAME] Wash was a
special compounded medication that consisted of Lidocaine (numbing agent) 2%, Nystatin (antifungal
agent) 100,000 units/ml, anti-gas medication, and simple syrup.
In an interview on 04/06/2025 at 9:30 AM with Resident #12, she reported she was allowed to keep the
medication at her bedside because she took it several times a day. She did not measure the medication
with a measuring cup. She took swigs before she ate. She continued to say she had not received any
education on how to take the medication and stated, the instructions were on the bottle. It says to just drink
it.
In an interview on 04/06/2025 at 9:30 AM with LVN A, she reported Resident #12 had an order to keep the
medication at her bedside. She stated, I've never seen her take it. When I give her medications, she can
only sit up on her elbow to swallow her medication. I don't know if there was an assessment completed
because I wasn't here when she was admitted .
In an interview on 04/07/2025 at 9:22 AM with the DON, she stated Residents should be educated before
self-administering medications. It appears she cannot do it herself. An adverse reaction could be diarrhea,
maybe side effects. We will assess her now. The DON continued to state she did not know if the resident
was assessed prior to allowing her to keep the medication at her bedside.
In an interview on 04/07/2025 at 10:54 AM with the ADON, she stated they need to have a medication
administration assessment. They need an order. We monitor and assess they are actually able to take the
medication. The [NAME] Wash should at minimum be stored in the dresser so there is not easy access to
other residents. Adverse reactions could include allergic reactions and decreased blood pressure if not
stored or taken properly.
In an interview on 04/07/2025 at 11:32 AM, with the Nurse Practitioner, she reported ideally residents
should be following directions on the bottle and should have been assessed prior to ensure they were
capable of taking the medication as prescribed. She felt harm from taking too much [NAME] Wash is
minimal.
Record review, on 04/07/2025, of the facilities policy titled Bedside Medication Storage, dated 09/2018,
revealed in part:

Residents Affected - Some
Bedside storage of medication is indicated on the resident Medication Administration Record (MAR) and in
the care plan for the appropriate medications.
3.
For residents who self-administer medications, the following conditions are met for bedside storage to
occur.
a.
The manner of storage prevents access by other residents. Lockable drawers or cabinets are required only
if unlocked storage is deemed appropriate. Facility management should have copy of the key in addition to
the resident.
4.
The resident is instructed in the proper use of bedside medication, including what the medication is for, how
it is to be used, how often it may be used, properly cleaning of inhalers where applicable, and proper
storage of the medication. The resident should be able to repeat the instructions or demonstrate
appropriate use of the medication, and the necessity of reporting each dose used to then nursing staff. The
completion of this instruction is documented in the resident's medical record. Periodic review of these
instructions with the resident is undertaken by the nursing staff and deemed necessary.
