Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure the call light was within reach for Resident #51 on 10/15/2024 and 10/16/2024. This failure could affect any resident and keep them from calling for help as needed. The findings were: Record review of Resident #51's face sheet, dated 10/18/2024, revealed he was [AGE] years old male and admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included: cerebral infarction (blood flow to the brain is blocked), intracerebral hemorrhage (blood vessel in the brain bursts and bleed), type 2 diabetes mellitus (body does not insulin properly, resulting in high blood sugar levels), heart failure (heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen), muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of muscle tissue and strength), and osteoarthritis (joints to break down over time). Record review of Resident #51's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 09/12/2024, revealed the resident's BIMS score was 0, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. The Quarterly MDS assessment further revealed Resident #51 required setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up) to eating, substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the efforts) to toilet hygiene, shower, lower body dressing, and supervision or touching assistance (helper provides [NAME] clues or touching assistance as resident completes activity) to chair/bed-to-chair transfer and toilet transfer.

Residents Affected - Few Resident #7's oxygen tubing and nasal cannular connected to the oxygen concentrator was not covered in a plastic bag on 10/15/2024 when it was not used.

There was one medication (Cherry Flavor Sore Throat Spray for sore throat) expired on 07/2024 found inside the medication room on 10/16/2024. This failure could place residents at risk of inaccurate drug administration and not having appropriate therapeutic effects. The findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #4's face sheet, dated 10/18/2024, revealed Resident #4 was [AGE] years old male and admitted to the facility 11/24/2003 and re-admitted to the facility 04/25/2017 with diagnoses of cerebral infarction (blood flow to the brain is blocked), gastro-esophageal reflux disease (stomach contents leak back into the esophagus), hemiplegia and hemiparesis (weakness and paralysis on one side of the body), muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of muscle tissue and strength), constipation (infrequent bowel movement), and ataxia (lack of coordination in muscle movement). Record review of Resident #4's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 09/17/2024, revealed the resident's BIMS score was 12, which indicated moderately cognitive impairment. The Quarterly MDS assessment further revealed Resident #4 required setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up) to eating, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, and toilet transfer, and partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the efforts) to shower and personal hygiene. Record review of Resident #4's physician order, dated 06/10/2024, revealed the resident had the order of Geri-Lanta (alum-mag hydroxide-simeth) over the counter suspension 200-200-20 mg per 5 ml give 300 ml by mouth once a day at 8:00 AM for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (stomach contents leak back into the esophagus).

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Interview on 10/17/2024 at 1:10 p.m. with MA-C acknowledged she administered 30 ml of milk of magnesia to Resident #4, but the resident's physician order said, Geri-Lanta (alum-mag hydroxide-simeth) over the counter suspension 200-200-20 mg per 5 ml give 300 ml by mouth once a day at 8:00 AM for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (stomach contents leak back into the esophagus). Further interview with the MA-C stated she thought milk of magnesia and Geri-Lanta (alum-mag hydroxide-simeth) was the same medication for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (stomach contents leak back into the esophagus). That was why MA-C administered milk of magnesia to Resident #4, instead of Geri-Lanta (alum-mag hydroxide-simeth). Interview on 10/17/2024 at 1:07 p.m. with the DON said milk of magnesia and Geri-Lanta (alum-mag hydroxide-simeth) was not the same medication. A milk of magnesia was used for constipation, and it was laxative. However, Geri-Lanta was used for gastro-esophageal reflux disease or heartburn, and it was acid reducer. If MA-C was confused if the two medications were the same or not, MA-C should have asked the charge nurse before giving the medication to Resident #4. DON was responsible for overseeing for medication administrations. The potential harm was the resident might have allergy to milk of magnesia and not have therapeutic effect. Record review of the facility policy, titled Administering Medications, revised 12/2012, revealed . 3. Medications must be administered in accordance with the orders, including any required time frame. 5. If a dosage is believed to be inappropriate or excessive for a resident or a medication has been identified as having potential adverse consequences for the resident or is suspected of being associated with adverse consequences, the person preparing or administering the medication shall contact the resident's attending physician or the facility's medical director to discuss the concerns. 2. Record review of Resident #42's face sheet, dated 10/18/2024, reflected the resident was [AGE] years old male and initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses included: cerebral infarction (blood flow to the brain is blocked), dysphagia (difficulty finding words and speaking slowly), type 2 diabetes mellitus (body does not insulin properly, resulting in high blood sugar levels), heart failure (heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen), dementia (decline in cognitive abilities), and hypertension (high blood pressure). Record review of Resident #42's admission MDS, dated [DATE], reflected his BIMS score was 7 of 15 reflecting he had severe cognitive impairment. Further record review of Resident #42's admission MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident required set up or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up) to eating, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, and toilet transfer. Record review of Resident #42's physician order, dated 07/03/2024, revealed the resident had the order of Insulin aspart pen 100 unit/ml per sliding scale; if blood sugar is less than 70 call medical doctor; if blood sugar is 150 to 200 give 3 units; if blood sugar is 201 to 250 give 6 units; if blood sugar is 251 to 300 give 9 units; if blood sugar is 301 to 350 give 12 units; if blood sugar is 351 to 400 give 15 units; if blood sugar is 401 to 800 give 18 units; if blood sugar is greater than 800 give 18 units and call medical doctor.
