Record review of Resident #28's nurses notes reflected the resident on 09/06/2024, that the resident slid
off her bed and fell onto the fall mat.
Record review of Resident #28's care plan, not dated, reflected the resident was care planned for falls and
documented to have an actual fall that occurred on 07/28/202, but did not include the intervention of a fall
mat.
Record review of Resident #28's admission MDS, dated [DATE], reflected the resident did not have any falls
since their admission.
In an interview with CNA T on 09/12/24 at 12:00PM, who stated he usually worked often with Residents
#34 and #28. He stated he referenced a chart or kiosk to know who needs a fall mat. He stated Resident
#34 tended to swing herself to the right while sleeping causing her to slide off the bed and Resident #28
would sometimes throw herself off the bed. If the fall mat was not placed for both of the residents, they
could possibly be injured in a fall.
In an interview with LVN E on 09/12/24 at 12:08PM, who stated she worked frequently with Resident #34
who rolled out of her bed. She said they keep a wedge to prevent her from rolling off the bed, kept fall mats
in place and the bed low. She stated Resident #34 did fall on the end of her shift once. She also said
Resident #28 had a history of being confused and rolling herself out of the bed. The fall mat was there
when she fell, and she did not have any major injury as a result. She stated the interventions should be
listed on the care plan, and because she was new, she would not have known if the fall mat if she did not
already see it placed on the floor when she came in. She stated nurses were to at least verbally report
needs of patients to the nursing team and bring up pertinent information such as interventions at the
morning meetings for the MDS or another staff to note and update the care plan. She said without fall mats
residents can experience an increased risk of injury of the head.
In an interview with the DON on 09/12/24 12:41PM, who stated that her and the Administrator were
responsible for updating the care plans to add new information and resolved interventions that are no
longer applicable. Residents can change, they need to keep the care plan interventions updated and they
can also attach the task attached to the [NAME] (desktop file system) for the CNAs to reference it as well.
Fall mats should have been on the care plan. She stated Resident #34 and #28 both need fall mats, or else
they would injure themself in fall.
Record review of the facility's policy on Care Plan Revisions Upon Status Change, not dated, reflected, .
The comprehensive care plan will be reviewed, and revised as necessary, when a resident experiences a
status change . The care plan will be updated with the new or modified interventions .

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure all drugs and biologicals were stored
securely for one of two medication carts reviewed for medication storage.
The facility failed to keep resident medications in their original containers/packaging located in the
medication cart assigned to LVN M. There were 18 loose pills at the bottom of one of the drawers belonging
to unknown residents.
These failures could affect residents receiving medications placing them at risk of receiving the wrong
medication and adverse side effects.
Findings included:
During observation and interview on [DATE] at 2:45PM, the medication aide cart for the skilled unit which
was assigned to LVN M had 18 loose pills of various shapes, sizes, and colors at the bottom of the second
drawer from the left of the cart. The loose pills were underneath the medication blister cards that were
tightly packed together. LVN M stated her role for the day was to administer medications that were usually
assigned to a medication aide. LVN M stated she was responsible to keep the medication cart clean and
ensure there were no expired meds and no loose pills. LVN M stated the potential issues were allergic
reaction to a resident if loose pills fall out onto the floor and a resident takes it. LVN M stated she did not
know but would check with DON on how to dispose of the loose pills.
During an interview on [DATE] at 3:15PM the DON who stated the charge nurses, DON and ADON were
responsible to check med carts. The DON stated the risks to having loose pills would be not knowing
exactly what the pills were for and if a resident were to get a hold of loose pills it could cause side effects, it
could cause harm, vital signs could drop, and heart rate could increase. The DON stated the medication
supply could run out for that resident and a refill order would have to be placed. The Regional Nurse
Consultant stated there would be no extra cost to the resident when reordered. The Regional Nurse
Consultant stated that at times pills tend to fall out of blister cards d/t pharmacy packaging when cards are
removed or replaced back into the cart.
During an interview on [DATE] at 8:30AM, the DON who stated that LVN M did come to her after the loose
pills were found and she instructed LVN M to crush the pills then put them into the sharps container. The
DON stated, during audits, she ensured carts are checked, that over-the-counter medications were dated,
insulins were dated accordingly, blister cards were not ripped, foil intact and made sure liquid medications
were not leaking. She stated the DON would do audits weekly and the pharmacist checked carts monthly.
The DON stated moving forward, she will check carts more often, conduct in-services for the nurses and
medication aides, lift everything out cart and check bottom of drawers for loose pills.
Record review of the undated facility policy and procedures for Medication Storage read in part: .It is the
policy of this facility to ensure all medications housed on our premises will be stored in the pharmacy and
/or medications rooms according to the manufacturer's recommendations and sufficient to ensure proper
sanitation .and security All drugs and biologicals will be stored in locked
