F 0554 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.

F 0554 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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: -Policy Bedside medication storage is permitted for residents who wish to self-administer medication, upon the written order of the prescriber and once self-administration skills have been assessed and deemed appropriate in the judgement of the facility's interdisciplinary resident assessment team (or equivalent). -Procedures 1.
