Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure the medication error rate
was not five percent or greater. The facility had a medication error rate of 7.41% based on 2 errors out of 27
opportunities, which involved 2 of 4 residents (Resident #45 and Resident #133) reviewed for medication
errors.
Residents Affected - Few
- LVN C failed to administer medication as ordered to Resident #45 by administering only one 400 mcg
tablet of folic acid (Vitamin B-9, important in red blood cell formation and cell growth) instead of 800 mcg as
ordered.
- LVN C failed to administer medication as ordered to Resident #133 by holding one 12.5 mg tablet of
hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic that lowers blood pressure as well as treat fluid retention) despite an active
order to administer it.
These failures could place residents receiving medication at risk of inadequate therapeutic outcomes.
The findings included:
1. During an observation on 06/18/25 at 8:25 AM, LVN C prepared medications for Resident #45 during
medication pass. LVN C only gathered one 400 mcg tablet of folic acid from the medication bottle. LVN C
only administered one 400 mcg tablet of folic acid to Resident #45. This state surveyor asked LVN C if she
was finished administering medications to Resident #45 and she stated she was finished.
Record review of Resident #45's order summary revealed an active order dated 05/28/25 for Folic Acid Oral
Capsule 0.8 MG (Folic Acid). Give 1 capsule via G tube one time a day for SUPPLEMENT related to
ANEMIA, UNSPECIFIED.
2. During an observation on 06/18/25 at 8:34 AM, LVN C prepared medications for Resident #133 during
medication pass. LVN C did not pop any hydrochlorothiazide tablets out of the blister pack to administer to
Resident #133. LVN C did not administer any tablets of hydrochlorothiazide to Resident #133. This state
surveyor asked LVN C if she finished administering medications to Resident #133 and she stated she was
finished.
Record review of Resident #133's order summary revealed an active order dated 06/10/25 for
hydrochlorothiazide Oral Tablet 12.5 MG (Hydrochlorothiazide). Give 12.5 mg by mouth one time a day for
hypertension [elevated blood pressure] related to ESSENTIAL (Primary) HYPERTENSION.
In an interview with LVN C on 06/18/25 at 11:02 AM, LVN C stated Resident #45 had an active order

for 800 mcg of folic acid 1 time per day. LVN C stated she administered 0.4 mg of folic acid to Resident #45
earlier that day. LVN C stated there were no 0.8 mg tablets in the nurse's cart. LVN C stated she made an
error in only administering 1 400 mcg folic acid tablet to Resident #45. LVN C stated she chose to hold the
hydrochlorothiazide for Resident #133 because her blood pressure was low. LVN C stated Resident #133
had three other blood pressure medications that were all held as well because Resident #133's blood
pressure was below the threshold for administering them. LVN C stated the order for hydrochlorothiazide
stated it was used to treat hypertension, so it should have had the same parameters on it as the other
blood pressure medications. LVN C stated it was important for residents to receive medications as ordered
so their symptoms and conditions did not worsen and harm the resident.
In an interview with ADON 1 on 06/19/25 at 1:28 PM, ADON 1 stated before administering medication,
nurses and med aides should compare what was written in the MAR to what was written on the blister pack
to ensure there were no inconsistencies. ADON 1 stated LVN C should have given 800 mcg of folic acid to
Resident #45 during medication pass. ADON 1 stated LVN C should have administered the
hydrochlorothiazide to Resident #133 because the order was correct as written. ADON 1 stated the order
did not have hold parameters because it was being used primarily to treat edema (excess fluid in the body
tissues). ADON 1 stated the administration of incorrect doses of medications or holding medications
inappropriately could lead to unnecessary changes in the treatment plans of residents leading to harm.
In an interview with the CCS on 06/19/25 at 2:02 PM, the CCS stated if LVN C had questions about
whether to administer the hydrochlorothiazide to Resident #133, she should have called the doctor to
confirm the order. The CCS stated the order did not have hold parameters because it was being used
primarily to treat edema. The CCS stated holding medications when they were supposed to be
administered could harm the residents because it was not what the doctor ordered. The CCS stated errors
in medication administration could lead to unnecessary changes to the treatment plan of residents.
Record review revealed the facility policy titled Medication Administration last reviewed 07/08/24 stated the
following:
.4. Medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame .
10. The individual administering the medication checks the label THREE (3) times to verify the right
resident, right medication, right dosage, right time and right method (route) of administration before giving
the medication.

During an observation on [DATE] at 2:40 PM of the 100-hall nurse cart, this state surveyor found two
opened, undated vials of insulin in the top drawer of the cart inside their original box. The label on the first
vial stated it was Humalog (brand name for lispro) mix 75/25 and was for Resident #133. The label on the
second vial stated it was Lantus and for Resident #10. Neither vial had an opened-on date written on the
vial or box.
In an interview with LVN D on [DATE] at 4:38 PM, LVN D stated she wrote the date an insulin vial was
opened on the vial and its box as well. LVN D stated she was currently the nurse in charge of the 100-hall.
LVN D stated she was unable to find any opened-on date on either of the two insulin vials or boxes found in
the 100-hall nurse cart. LVN D stated she always checked the expiration date on an insulin vial before
administering any insulin to a resident. LVN D stated it was important to write the opened-on date on insulin
vials because they expire after only 28 days. LVN D stated administering expired insulin to a resident may
not be as effective and lead to an elevated blood sugar level.
In an interview with ADON 1 on [DATE] at 1:28 PM, ADON 1 stated nurses write the date an insulin vial
was opened on the sticker attached to the insulin vial. ADON 1 stated nurses checked the expiration date
on the vial before administering insulin to any resident. ADON 1 stated if expired insulin was administered
to a resident, it may not be as effective leading to hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar) or it could have an
unpredictable effect.
In an interview with the CCS on [DATE] at 2:02 PM, the CCS stated nurses wrote the date the insulin vial
was opened on the sticker on the vial. The CCS stated nurses checked the expiration date on the insulin
vial before administering it to a resident. The CCS stated if a nurse found an opened insulin vial that was
not dated, they should inform the DON and then get a new vial if the insulin was determined to potentially
be expired. The CCS stated expired insulin may not have the intended effect on a resident, leading to
possible harm.
Record review revealed the facility policy titled Medication Administration last reviewed [DATE] stated the
following:
.12. The expiration/beyond use date on the medication label is checked prior to administering. When
opening a multi-dose container, the date opened is recorded on the container.

In an interview with DA 1 on 06/17/25 at 9:15 AM, he said the juice gun was cleaned every 4 days and they
used it a lot. He detached the outer nozzle from the inner nozzle of the juice gun exposing clogged holes
where the juice came through. He said he did not know what that was (clogging the holes). He said they
were not dispensing any black drinks through the juice gun. He said the black substance was removable.
He said the black substance might be mold. He said the drinks were getting cross-contaminated and could
make residents sick.
In an interview with the DW on 06/17/25 at 9:20 AM, she said the chem strip (sanitation level) for the
dishwasher should be purple. She said she marked it in the log every day she worked before she started
her shift-it was the first thing she did. When asked to see the log where she documented the sanitation
level, she said, I didn't do it. I didn't test it (the sanitation level). She said she did not know what ppm's were
or why it was important to maintain a specific level in the dishwasher rinse cycle. She demonstrated a chem
strip test during the rinse cycle, the test strip color matched 10 ppm on the container of test strips. She said
she was unaware of the large, printed instructions for using and reading chem strips that were on the front
of the dishwasher. She said the process of washing dishes was to place dishes in a bin, run the bin through
the dishwasher, let them air dry, then put them on the clean rack. She did not understand un-sanitized
dishes and utensils should not be used for service.

In an interview with the DS on 06/17/25 at 9:25 AM, she said the juice gun inner nozzle had mold on it. She
said the juice gun was cleaned after each shift. She said the steam table wells had hard water staining
them. At this time, the DS began to look for the cleaning schedules and temperature logs. She said she
could not find the cleaning schedules. She said all food should be sealed, labeled, and dated. She said she
did not know why the foods, spices, and beverages in the refrigerator, freezer, and dry storage room were
not sealed, labeled, or dated. She said the chem strip for the dishwasher should be 100 ppm (parts per
million). She said she had in-serviced staff regarding the above issues. She said personal items were never
allowed in the kitchen or freezer. She would not say who the cup from a local fast-food establishment
belonged to in the walk-in freezer. She said nothing when asked about the shelf over the range and the
range being dirty. She said the dishwasher was the low temp kind. She said she was responsible for
everything in the kitchen. Policies for dry storage, refrigerated foods, cleaning schedules, dishwasher
sanitation logs, chem logs, in-services/trainings, and the RD were requested at this time.
In an interview with the IADM, on 06/18/25 at 2:32 PM, she said it was important to have logs for the
kitchen for infection control purposes as well as knowing if equipment was in working order and regulations
required them. She said cleaning was really important for the kitchen because it was very susceptible to
bacteria growth-the utensils and everything in the kitchen could harbor bacteria and make the residents
sick if it was not being cleaned regularly and thoroughly. Kitchen policies, logbooks, cleaning schedules,
in-services, and the RD were re-requested at this time.
In an interview with ADON 1 on 06/19/25 at 8:40 AM, she said there were two nutrition rooms and they
each had a designated refrigerator for the residents. She said all staff were responsible for labeling and
dating everything in the nutrition refrigerators.
In an interview with LVN A on 06/19/25 at 8:42 AM, he said the grapes and one of the bottles of water in the
B wing nutrition refrigerator belonged to him. He said the nutrition room refrigerator was designated for the
residents. He said everything in the nutrition refrigerator was supposed to be labeled with the resident's
name, dated, and initialed by the person who received the item. He said the items required names and
dates to make sure the food was still good. He said if staff did not know how old the food was, it could make
the residents sick if consumed. He said food was good for 2 or 3 days. He said all staff were responsible for
labeling and dating all food in the nutrition refrigerators to protect the residents. He said cross
contamination would occur if mingling staff personal items with resident items. He said he had no excuse
for not putting his personal items in the break room refrigerator where it belonged and for not labeling and
dating them.
In an interview with CNA B on 06/19/25 at 8:47 AM, she said the purse in the secure unit nutrition room
belonged to her and she should not have left it there. She said she should have put her purse in the break
room, which just outside the secure unit double doors. She said personal items inside the nutrition room
could cause cross contamination to the residents and make them sick. She said she did not have an
excuse as to why she had her purse in the nutrition room. She said everything in the nutrition room
refrigerator should be labeled with the resident's names and dated.
In an interview with DA 2, DS, and the cook on 06/19/25 at 9:35 AM, DA 2 said she did not notice the
spices were open because she was not looking in that direction. She said she put the brownie mix in the
dry storage area without properly sealing it and did not know why. She said she knew she should have put
the brownie mix away properly, so it did not go bad. The cook said she put the cut onion in the walk-in
Tuesday because she was in a rush. She said not storing foods and beverages properly could be very
dangerous because food could grow mold and bacteria and could poison people. The DS

and the cook said it was everyone's responsibility to keep the kitchen clean and safe. The DS said it was
her ultimate responsibility to make sure the kitchen was operating as it should (meaning the logs were up to
date, tasks were monitored, as well as the staff). The DS said the kitchen staff, usually herself, wiped down
the ice machine inside and out every two weeks. She said the MS cleaned the filters and the inner workings
every two weeks, so that was the schedule she followed for cleaning the ice machine and she did it when
the MS was there, doing his thing. The DS said she could only find the daily cleaning schedules for June
2025. The DS said she did not know why the temperature logs were not consistent. She said she did not
check them like she should have. She said she did not know if the temperatures got mixed up with the
refrigerator or what but would have known had she been checking them.
In an interview with the MS on 06/19/25 at 9:40 AM, he said he did not know when the ice machine was
last cleaned but it was well over a month ago. He said he inspected the ice machine and did maintenance
(cleaned the filter and inner workings around the motor) on it when the electronic reporting system popped
up the task for it every 3 months. He said he defrosted the ice machine and wiped everything down. He said
he ran a chemical through the system that cleaned the water pipes. He said he was the only one that
cleaned the ice machine and was not sure if kitchen staff had anything to do with cleaning the ice machine.
He said the discoloration on the ice chute was a build-up of dust. He said he did not know how dust could
get inside the ice machine. He said the discoloration on the ice chute could be mold. He said he did not
know the manufacturer's instructions or the facility policy for cleaning the ice machine. He said he did not
check the logs in the kitchen. He said he was unaware of the ice build-up in the walk-in freezer. He said he
was not responsible for the kitchen.
During a phone interview with the Regional Lead Dietician on 06/20/25 at 3:30 pm, he said he visited the
facility twice a month and once remotely. He said he had been going to the facility since November 2024.
He said the DS reached out to him once a week or every other week for advice about food substitutions. He
said his visits in April and May 2025 revealed some issues. He said he initiated in-services for sanitation in
general including hairnets, hand washing, dry food boxes on the ground, logs were not filled out such as
refrigerator, and freezer logs-there were several weeks not recorded in April or March 2025. He said he
needed to hold people more accountable and had stressed to the DS that everything had to be clean all the
time. He said there was an issue with kitchen employees having drinks in the kitchen. He said he told them
they could not have personal drinks anywhere at any time inside the kitchen. He said, evidently there was
no follow up after he left, and he needed to do more. He said there was lack of accountability. He said he
also spoke to kitchen staff about having the dumpster lids closed. He said he was going to the facility next
week to address the issues. He said he could not explain why the logs we not completed. Cleaning Policy
requested.
