F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure that residents were free of significant medication errors for 1 of 2 residents (Residents #1) reviewed for pharmacy. The facility failed to ensure oral antibiotic medication was administered to Resident #1 as ordered, resulting in a medication error. As a result of incorrect medication entry, Resident #1 did not receive 6- days of prescribed oral antibiotic, specifically, (Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim oral table 400-80 MG Bactrim), as ordered following hospitalization for sepsis and ureteral stent placement. This failure does not ensure that residents receive necessary treatment to prevent potential decline or worsening of infection. Findings included: A review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 11/20/2024 revealed he was a [AGE] year-old male initially admitted on [DATE] diagnoses of cerebrovascular disease (conditions affecting the blood vessels in the brain), cystostomy (surgery of the bladder to remove bladder stones, clots, tumors, or other obstruction), cystitis with hematuria, mixed incontinence, urinary stents, calculus of kidney, retention of urine, vascular dementia, anxiety, muscle weakness and difficulty in walking. A review of Resident #1's, quarterly MDS section C dated 10/1/2025, revealed a BIMS score of 14 dated 10/02/2025, which indicated he was cognitively intact. A review of Resident #1's medical records revealed that the resident was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] and discharged back to the facility on [DATE] following treatment for sepsis and the placement of a urethral stent. A review of Resident #1's nurse's re-admission notes dated 09/25/2025 at 7:20 P.M., revealed a clarification of the medication order for Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim oral tablet 400-80 MG, by mouth, twice daily for seven days. The HS (bedtime) dose was administered at the hospital prior to discharge. A Review of Resident #1's physician orders dated 09/25/2025, revealed that the physician order was incorrectly transcribed by LPN A, entering a start date of 10/09/2025 and an end date of 10/02/2025. A review of Resident #1's nurse's notes dated 09/26/2025 during the early morning hours revealed that the resident was sent back to the hospital for replacement of a urinary catheter by a Urologist. The review further indicated that the catheter had not been replaced during the initial emergency room visit. A review of Resident #1's nurse's readmission notes dated 09/26/2025 02:00AM revealed that under Special Care it was documented that the resident was currently on antibiotics, listed as Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim oral tablet 400-80 MG, Bid X7 days. The notes further indicated that the urinary catheter was intact and that the urine appeared clear and yellow in color, with no urinary complaints reported. A further review of the provider's order dated 10/2/2025 revealed: Related diagnosis associated with the antibiotic order: sepsis unspecified organism, urinary retention, and urinary stent placement. A new order for Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim oral tablet 400-80 MG, Bid X 7 days for treatment of sepsis, with a start date of 10/2/205 and an end date 10/9/2025. Documentation indicated that the oral antibiotic was not administered between 09/26/2025 and 10/01/2025. A review of Resident #1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed that the antibiotic was scheduled to begin at 9:00PM on 10/02/2025.
