**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services (including
procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and
biologicals) to meet the needs of 1 resident (Resident #12) of 6 residents observed and reviewed for
medication administration.
-MA A dispensed five medications for Resident #12 and presented them to the resident for administration.
Resident #12 had already received the medications.
-LVN B had administered Resident #12's medications earlier but did not document in the MAR.
The failures placed residents at risk for overmedication and the complications related to overmedication.
Findings include:
Record review of the admission Record for Resident #12 (printed 05/31/2023) revealed he was [AGE] years
old, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He was listed as being his own Responsible Party. Diagnoses
included, but were not limited to, chronic kidney disease with dependence on renal dialysis and
hyperlipidemia (high volumes of water-insoluble molecules).
Record review of the quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #12 scored 15 of 15 on the BIMS,
indicative of intact cognition.
Record review of the Care Plan dated 10/27/2022 revealed one 'Focus' reflected Resident #12 had chronic
renal/kidney failure. The 'Goal' was reflected as the resident would not have any complications related to
fluid deficit or overload. One 'Intervention' was reflected as administering medications as ordered by the
physician.
Record review of the Physician's Order Summary Report (printed 05/31/2023) revealed Resident #12 was
to receive dialysis treatments on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The Orders reflected the resident
was to receive one tablet of enteric coated aspirin (81 mg) daily related to high blood pressure. He was to
receive three tablets of Sevelamer Carbonate (800 mg) on dialysis days for his kidney disease. The Orders
reflected he was to receive Clopidogrel Bisulfate (75 mg) daily related to the acquired absence of one of his
left fingers. The Orders reflected he was to receive Midodrine Hydrochloride (10 mg) on dialysis days to
address low blood pressure during dialysis. In addition, Resident #12 was to receive one tablet of
Multivitamin with minerals.

Observation and interview on 05/31/2023 at 7:14 a.m. revealed MA A outside of Resident #12's room. She
was standing by the medication cart. She said she was going to dispense the morning medications for
Resident #12. MA A entered Resident #12's room. Resident #12 was awake, sitting in a wheelchair. MA A
obtained his blood pressure and pulse. She then returned to the medication cart in the hall. Observation
revealed she dispensed one 81 mg tablet of enteric coated aspirin, three 800 mg tablets of Sevelamer
Carbonate, one 75 mg tablet of Clopidogrel Bisulfate, one tablet of Multivitamin with minerals, and four 2.5
mg tablet of Midodrine Hydrochloride. She acknowledged to the surveyor that she had a total of 10 tablets
in a medication cup. Observation revealed none of the five medications had been signed as been
administered on the electronic MAR for Resident #12. They were highlighted in yellow, indicating they were
within the administration time window, but not yet administered.
Continued observation revealed MA A entered Resident #12's room. She offered the medications to
Resident #12. Resident #12 informed her that LVN B had already administered the same medications. MA
A did not administer the medications. She returned to her medication cart and placed the medication cup
into the drawer. They were later properly discarded.
Observation and interview on 05/31/2023 at 7:25 a.m. revealed LVN B was in an adjacent hallway with a
different medication cart. LVN B said she had administered the same medications to Resident #12 earlier
that morning, because he was going to dialysis. She said she had not initialed in the electronic MAR that
they had been administered. She said that she was not able to initial in the electronic MAR because the
screen was not 'yellow' at the time, which would have indicated the one-hour time frame was in effect. At
that time, LVN B displayed the electronic MAR for Resident #12. The five morning medications were
highlighted in yellow, indicating they were within the administration time window, but not yet administered.
LVN B began initialing the medications as been administered. LVN B again verbalized she had administered
the medications.
Interview on 05/31/2023 at 7:36 a.m. with the DON revealed she said sometimes Resident #12 would ask
for his medications early on dialysis days. She said if LVN B was not able to initial the medications as
administered when she gave them, it would indicate they were given outside of the time frame of the order.
She said that if LVN B would have initialed the medications as been given, MA A would have known they
were already administered. She said the resident could have received extra medication if he was not able to
tell MA A he had already received them.
Record review of the facility policy Administration of Drugs (revised June 2019) revealed .10. The nurse
administering the medication must record such information on the resident's MAR before administering the
next resident's medication. 11. The nurse administering the medications must initial the resident's MAR.

the kitchen and change the filters for the vents. She said she did not notice the dirty hanging vent in the
mini storage area at all until the investigator brought it to her attention. She said if the dirty vent was not
reported it could cause an infection control problem. She said she did notice the gnats flying around in the
mini storage area.
During the Interview on 6/1/23 at 8:41am an Interview with Administrator, she said if the vent was not
cleaned based upon the outcome of the gnats being inside of the mini storage the remanence of the
insects could get inside of the food worst case scenario. She reported there have not been an ongoing
issue of any insects but if so, the pest control person would come out.
