Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents were free of any significant medication errors for 4 (Resident #2, #3, #4, and #5) of 6 residents reviewed for safe administration of midodrine [a medication intended to raise systolic blood pressure], in that:

1. Resident #2 was administered midodrine on 9 instances outside of the parameters established by the Primary Care Physician (PCP) to hold if greater than 120 systolic blood pressure between 4/01/2023-6/30/2023; 2. Resident #3 was administered midodrine on 45 instances outside of the parameters established by the PCP to hold if greater than 100 systolic blood pressure between 4/01/2023-6/30/2023; 3. Resident #4 was administered midodrine on 47 instances outside of the parameters established by the PCP to hold if greater than 120 systolic blood pressure between 4/01/2023-6/30/2023; 4. Resident #5 was administered midodrine on 18 instances outside of the parameters established by the PCP to hold if greater than 120 systolic blood pressure between 4/01/2023-6/30/2023; This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving the intended therapeutic benefit of drugs and biologics, worsening or exacerbation of chronic medical conditions, and place residents at risk for serious injuries up to and including strokes. The findings included: 1. Record review of admission Record , dated 7/02/2023, revealed Resident #2 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE]. Diagnoses included hypotension [low blood pressure]. Record review of quarterly MDS [Minimum Data Set] assessment, dated 5/25/2023, revealed Resident #2's primary reason for admission was debility, cardiorespiratory conditions. Other active diagnoses included: orthostatic hypotension [form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down]. Record review of Resident #2's Care Plan, revised on 2/15/2023, revealed a problem area of, Hypotension; associated interventions included, give medications as ordered, initiated on 2/01/2023. Record review of Resident #2's Order Summary Report, dated 7/02/2023, revealed active orders for: Midodrine HCL [hydrochloride], oral, tablet 5 MG [milligram], give one tablet by mouth three times a day for hypotension, hold for SBP [systolic blood pressure] > [greater than] 120; start date

In an interview on 7/02/2023 at 1:30 PM, LVN G stated she reviewed medications prior to pulling them from the container or blister pack. LVN G stated she would obtain vital signs for the medications as per the PCP orders. LVN G stated midodrine is a medication that helps bring up blood pressure. LVN G stated the medication would be held if the blood pressure were too high. LVN G stated that a resident could have headaches or become hypertensive [high blood pressure] if midodrine were given to a resident when their blood pressure was high. LVN G stated she could not recall which residents received midodrine, she would need to review the MARs or Order Summary for each resident. In an interview on 7/02/2023 at 4:45 PM, LVN A stated midodrine is a medication that is given only to a few of the residents. LVN A stated midodrine is to help residents with low blood pressure. LVN A stated the PCP or pharmacist set the desired parameters. LVN A stated he would hold any medication if the residents' vital signs were out of the PCP's parameters. LVN A stated he could not recall any instance of administering medication out of parameters set by the PCP. LVN A stated he documented the reason code in the MAR when a medication was held or omitted. LVN A stated it was possible he incorrectly documented a medication as given, when the parameters indicated the medication should be held. LVN A stated he could not recall any residents that required midodrine ever having symptoms of high blood pressure after medication administration. LVN A stated he tried to accurately document in the moment, but sometimes the residents' behaviors could be distracting if they were violent, loud, or intrusive . In an interview on 7/02/2023 at 5:50 PM, the DON stated the symbol > indicated greater than and the symbol < indicated less than. The DON stated these symbols were used on the MAR when a medication has parameters to hold if the vital signs or blood sugars are either too high or too low for safe administration of a medication. The DON stated the PCP set the parameters for those medications. The DON stated midodrine was a medication that increase low blood pressure. The DON stated that midodrine should not be administered if the blood pressure or heart rate was already at specified levels as this could put the resident at risk for adverse effects such as stroke. The DON stated each nurse was trained to take the residents vital signs immediately prior to administering medications to the resident. The DON stated the MARs were reviewed each day prior to the morning meeting. The DON
