Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.

interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a nurse aide was able to demonstrate competency
in skills and techniques necessary to care for residents' needs, as identified through resident assessments,
and described in the plan of care for one (CR #2) of five residents reviewed for assistance with meals. -An
unidentified staff supported CR #2's food dish on the staff's lap as she fed the resident. The failure placed
the resident at risk for acquiring food-borne illness.Findings include: Record review of the admission
Record for CR #2 revealed he was [AGE] years old, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), lack of coordination, and muscle weakness. He was discharged from the
facility on 08/08/2025. Record review of CR #2's 5-day admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed,
he exhibited severely impaired cognition. He had impaired range-of-motion to both upper and lower
extremities. He was dependent on staff for eating assistance.In an interview via telephone on 12/17/2025 at
1:23 p.m., CR #2's family member verbalized concern that a staff member fed CR #2's meal while having
the resident's plate of food on her lap. She said she would send a video. The family member gave consent
for the surveyor to show the video to the facility.Review of the video dated 08/02/2025 at 1:11 p.m.,
revealed an unidentified staff member in a chair, next to CR #2's bed. CR #2 was lying in bed and the

with a utensil, the staff fed CR #2. The resident's over-bed table was in front of the staff member.Interview
and record review on 12/17/25 at 3:30 p.m., the DON viewed the video. He said the technique exhibited by
the staff feeding the resident with the resident's plate on her lap was Not OK. He said the plate should not
have been in her lap. He noted that the over-bed table was in front of the staff. He said the technique was
an infection control issue. He did not identify the staff member but did acknowledge CR #2 resided at the
facility on that date and the room was that of the facility.Observation on 12/17/2025 at 12:19 p.m. revealed
CNA G assisting Resident # 3 with her meal. The tray was on the over bed table.Observation on

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
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 (CR #1) of 4 residents reviewed for pharmacy services.-CR #1's hospital discharge
orders were not transcribed properly to the resident's facility admission orders. CR #1 did not receive the
correct dose of Divalproex Sodium.This failure could result in CR #1 not receiving the correct dose of
anti-seizure medication.Findings include: Review of the admission Record for CR #1 revealed she was
[AGE] years old and was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included Localization-related (focal)
(partial) symptomatic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with complex partial seizures (seizure disorder),
cerebral infarction (condition where blood flow to a part of the brain is disrupted, resulting in brain-tissue
death), and hypertension (high blood pressure). She was discharged from the facility on 07/04/2025.Review
of CR #1's 5-day Entry MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident scored 11/15 on the BIMS,
indicative of moderate cognitive impairment. The resident exhibited little or no interest or pleasure doing
things, had difficulty falling or staying asleep (or sleeping too much), and felt tired or had no energy.Review
of CR #1's hospital Discharge Orders dated 06/14/2025 revealed she was receiving Divalproex Sodium ER
(medication to treat Epilepsy/seizures) 1000 mg, twice daily.Review of CR #1's Physician's Order dated
06/14/2025 revealed Divalproex Sodium ER oral tablet Extended Release 24 hour 250 MG. to be
administered every 12 hours for seizures. The order was transcribed by LVN B.Review of CR #1's
Physician's PN dated 06/17/2025 at 08:18 a.m., revealed Physician A documented he saw the resident at
the facility on that date. The PN reflected the resident was receiving 50 mg of Depakote ER (generic form of
Divalproex Sodium ER) twice daily, instead of 1000 mg twice daily as reflected in the hospital discharge
summary or 250 mg every 12 hours, as reflected in the facility Physician Order dated 06/14/2025. The PN
reflected no correction of the Physician Order dated 06/14/2025. Review of CR #1's June 2025 MAR
revealed she received one 250 mg tablet of Divalproex Sodium ER every 12 hours from 06/14/2025 at 9:00
p.m. to 06/30/2025 at 9:00 p.m.Review of CR #1's July MAR revealed she received one 250 mg tablet of
Divalproex Sodium ER every 12 hours from 07/01/2025 to 07/04/2025 at 9:00 a.m. (date of discharge).In an
interview on 12/17/2025 at 2:44 p.m., LVN B said the procedure for new admissions was to call or text the
physician or NP that the resident had arrived and ask them to review medications. If there was a change,
the physician or NP was to notify the nurse via phone, text, or in person. She said the medication orders
were not to be entered into the system without approval. When asked if the verification was to be
documented, she responded there was no protocol, so she did not document in every case. She said she
would have verified the orders with NP C. She said she could not remember if NP C changed any of the
orders. In an interview via telephone on 12/17/2025 at 3:12 p.m., CR #1's family member said when the
resident was discharged , he noticed the facility had been administering one 250 mg tablet of Divalproex
Sodium ER twice daily, instead of 1000 mg twice daily, as reflected in the hospital discharge orders. He said
after the resident was discharged from the facility she would scream ‘Help me!' all day. She was admitted to
a different facility and passed away on 11/22/2025.In an interview on 12/17/2025 at 3:30 p.m., the DON
said there was no set way for the nurses to verify new admission orders, but the nurse could call, text, or
use an app. The nurse was to contact the NP or doctor, give report, and have them reconcile the
medications. He said the nurse should chart that they contacted the physician. The DON said if the
medications were not verified, it could result in a medication error. He said he did not know if NP C changed

order upon admission.In an interview via telephone on 12/17/2025 at 4:42 p.m., NP C said she looked
through her texts and said she received CR #1's medication list from the hospital. She said she told the
nurse to continue with all of the medications. She said she does not review medications but tells the nurse
to continue the hospital medications. When asked what complications could arise from the resident
receiving 250 mg of Divalproex Sodium ER twice daily versus 1000 mg Divalproex Sodium twice daily, she
said she did not want to answer that.In an interview via telephone on 12/17/2025 at 5:15 p.m., Physician A
was asked what complications could arise from the resident receiving 250 mg of Divalproex Sodium ER
twice daily versus 1000 mg Divalproex Sodium twice daily. He said it would depend on what other
medications the resident was on. He said the resident also had low sodium levels, which could have caused
altered mental status. The facility policy admission Orders (Revised 02/01/2023) read, in part, .A physician
must personally approve, in writing, a recommendation that an individual be admitted to a facility. A
physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist must provide written and/or
verbal orders for the residents' immediate care and needs.1. The written and/or verbal orders should
include at the minimum:.b. Medication orders if indicated. Review of the package insert for Divalproex
Sodium (Section 8.5) revealed discontinuation of Valproate was occasionally associated with somnolence
(excessive sleeping) and tremors.
