Review of Resident #1's progress notes in his EMR, dated 12/23/23 at 1:15 PM and documented by LVN B,
reflected the following:

administered 3 does of 0.5ml Morphine 15 minutes apart per Hospice physician orders. New order for
Ativan every 4 hours. Continues to remove oxygen. Morphine effective. Resting in bed in fetal position.
During a telephone interview on 01/24/24 at 12:33 PM, HN D stated she admitted Resident #1 for hospice
services on 12/21/23. She stated on that day he was not in any obvious pain but ensured facility staff knew
he had an order for Morphine PRN for pain, shortness of breath, or agitation. She stated the family was
adamant that they wanted palliative/comfort care only for Resident #1. She stated when HN E made her
routine visit on 12/23/23 she found Resident #1 in extreme pain and distress. She stated she would have
expected facility staff to contact them immediately if they were unable to control his pain.
During a telephone interview on 01/24/24 at 12:47 PM, Resident #1's NP stated she last saw him on
12/22/23 and at that time, he appeared comfortable. She stated since Resident #1's order for Morphine was
such a low dose and it had a short half-life., She stated she would expect nurses to assess the resident at
least every hour after administering to assess the effectiveness.
During a telephone interview on 01/24/24 at 12:58 PM, FM A and FM F stated when they walked into
Resident #1's room on 12/23/23 around 10:30 AM, HN E was already there. FM A stated he was writhing in
agony, thrashing in his bed, and pointing to his back. FM F stated HN E looked completely disheveled with
the state Resident #1 was in. FM F stated HN E turned to them and said, He is mouthing 'help me, help me,
help me'! FM F stated HN E stated, Honestly, I am not supposed to say this, but this is not okay. FM F
stated LVN B walked in to the room and was surprised to see the condition Resident #1 was in and stated,
Oh my God, I do not know how this happened and continued to apologize profusely. FM A and FM F
continuously repeated how heart-breaking it was to walk in on their loved one in so much distress and pain.
They both stated they repeatedly told the facility they wanted comfort measures only and felt like they
neglected Resident #1. FM F stated after HN E administered three doses of morphine, Resident #1 finally
looked peaceful and comfortable. FM A stated without the hospice agency, they did not know if Resident #1
would have passed away without pain or his dignity. FM A stated they just wanted to ensure this does not
happen to anyone else's loved one.
During a telephone interview on 01/24/24 at 2:27 PM, HN E stated Resident #1 had an order for morphine
every hour or as needed for shortness of breath or pain since 12/21/23. She stated she was not contacted

such as thrashing his arms, mouth agape, and was extremely anxious. She stated even lightly touching him
made him more agitated. She stated although it was hard to discern, but it did look like he was mouthing
help me. She stated she asked LVN B when she last saw Resident #1 and she told her she administered
morphine a few hours ago. She stated it appeared LVN B seemed to think his current condition at that time
was normal. She stated she was extremely surprised because normally when a resident on hospice
resided at a facility with nurses on staff, they typically do not see that type of situation because nurses are
trained and licensed to know what to look for when it comes to pain and agitation. She stated she would
expect for a resident who was on hospice services and receiving morphine to be assessed at least every
hour if not more frequently. She reiterated she was very shocked at the state he was in and was glad she
arrived when she did.
During an interview on 01/24/24 at 2:44 PM, the ADON stated she saw Resident #1 on 12/21/23 and
12/22/23 and he seemed comfortable. She stated she was not in the building on 12/23/23 and had not
heard of anything unusual happening. She stated it depended on resident's condition as to how often a
resident should be assessed after being administered pain medication. She stated LVN B had administered
Resident #1 morphine a few hours before HN E arrived and a change in condition could have happened
five minutes before she arrived. She stated it could happen quickly especially with Resident #1 continuously
taking his oxygen off. She stated LVN B marked the morphine as being effective. She stated there was no
actual pain assessments in their electronic charting system for the nurses to complete.
During a telephone interview on 01/24/24 at 4:17 PM, LVN B stated she started her shift on 12/23/23 at
6:00 AM. She stated she checked on Resident #1 sometime between 6:30-7:00 AM. She stated at that time
he was restless, looked like he was in pain, grimacing, moving around a lot, and did not want to keep his
oxygen on. She stated she administered morphine at 7:24 AM. She stated she went back assess to see if
the morphine had been effective sometime that morning. She stated, nothing seemed to help and did not
believe the morphine was helping. She was asked why she marked the morphine as being effective and
she stated that must have been a time where he had quieted down. She stated she thought she had
contacted hospice. She stated once HN E arrived, she (HN E) administered three doses of morphine every
15 minutes and that settled Resident #1 and he seemed calm and relaxed. She stated HN E then ordered
scheduled morphine to be administered every four hours and PRN. She stated she was grateful for HN E
as the morphine she administered really seemed to help Resident #1 a lot.
Review of the facility's Pain Assessment and Management Policy, revised March of 2020, reflected the
following:
1. The pain management program is based on a facility-wide commitment to appropriate assessment and
treatment of pain, based on professional standards of practice, the comprehensive care plan, and the
resident's choices related to pain management.
2. Pain management is defined as the process of alleviating the resident's pain based on his or her clinical
condition and established treatment goals.

safety
The Medical Director was notified of Immediate Jeopardy and apprised of interventions and monitoring
initiated with further updates to be given during QAPI meetings. Initiated: 1/24/2024 Completed: 1/24/2024
Residents Affected - Few
The Surveyor monitored the POR on 01/25/24 as followed:
During an interview on 01/25/24 at 12:43 PM, the ADON stated all staff were in-serviced on all of the topics
listed in the POR before the start of their shift. She stated she in-serviced staff the evening prior at 10:00
PM before their 10:00 PM - 6:00 AM shift. She stated a pain assessment was conducted on all residents in
the facility with no concerns.
During interviews conducted on 01/25/24 between 1:18 PM and 2:27 PM, two RNs, two LVNs, and two
CNAs all stated they had been in-serviced prior to working their shift. They were able to describe signs and
symptoms of pain such as moaning, yelling, facial grimacing, agitation, and restlessness. The CNAs stated
if a resident voiced pain or if they noted any residents showing any signs and symptoms of pain, they would
notify their nurse immediately. The nurses stated they needed to document all signs and symptoms of pain,
ensure they re-assessed a resident after administering pain medication within 30 minutes to an hour, and
completing a pain assessment. The nurses stated if the pain medication did not appear to be effective, they
were to document it, and contact the hospice nurse or resident's NP immediately.
During observations and interviews on 01/25/24 between 1:28 PM and 1:56 PM, three communicative
residents stated they were not in pain and their pain was always addressed when they notified a staff
member. Two residents who were sleeping in their rooms were observed and they were showing no signs
or symptoms of pain.
Observation on 01/25/24 at 2:05 PM revealed nurses, medication aides, and CNAs in the dining room
being in-serviced by a hospice agency on signs and symptoms of pain and the importance of addressing
and assessing pain.
Review of all residents' pain assessments (utilized PAINAD for nonverbal residents), dated 01/24/24,
reflected no pain concerns.
Review of an in-serviced entitled Reporting Pain Symptoms, dated 01/24/24 and 01/25/25 and conducted
by the ADM and the ADON, reflected all nursing staff from all shifts were reeducated on the following:
Any staff that notes signs and possible pain or a resident tells staff they are in pain should report this to
their charge nurse. The Charge nurse must assess for pain, treat pain, and record effectiveness.
Communication is the key to proper care of our residents. Signs and symptoms of pain include: moaning,
grimacing, restlessness, voiced pain, and change in behavior.
Review of an in-serviced entitled PRN Pain Medication, dated 01/24/24 and 01/25/25 and conducted by the
ADM the ADON, reflected nurses for all shifts were reeducated on PRN pain medication and monitoring for
effectiveness.

completed the test with the following questions:
1. Pain Assessments should be completed at least every shift for acute pain or significant changes in levels
of chronic pain. (True/False)
2. If upon completion of pain assessment, it is determined that intervention is required, you may:
3. What are signs a resident can display of discomfort or pain?

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
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 did not provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each
resident for one (Resident #1) of four residents reviewed for pharmaceutical services, in that:
The facility failed to follow a changed physician medication order resulting in Resident #1 receiving four
times the intended dose of Erleada (a prescription drug used to treat prostate cancer) for approximately five
days.
This failure was determined to be PNC due to the facility correcting the deficient practice prior (11/17/23) to
the investigation.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk overdose, could result in worsening or exacerbation of
chronic medical conditions, and hospitalization.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's undated face sheet reflected an [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including vascular dementia, prostate cancer, and COPD.
Review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/03/23, reflected a BIMS was not performed.
Review of Resident #1's quarterly care plan, dated 12/21/23, reflected he had prostate cancer with an
intervention of administering medication as ordered.
Review of Resident #1's physician order, dated 06/02/23, reflected the following:
Erleada tablet; 60 mg
Directions: Four tabs (240MG); oral; Once a day
Review of Resident #1's physician order, dated 11/17/23, reflected the following:
Erleada tablet; 240 mg
Directions: ONE; oral; Once a day
Review of Resident #1's NP assessment, dated 11/17/23, reflected the following:
Chief Complaint/Reason for this Visit: Drug overdose/Medication error
.
[FM A] notified me about the mediation error. [Resident #1] was getting Erleada 60mg tabs x 4 previously
but during the last refill the medication was changed to 240mg tabs. [Resident #1] was given Erleada
240mg x 4 tabs instead of Erleada 240mg x 1 tab.

F 0755
Review of Resident #1's NP assessment, dated 11/21/23, reflected the following:
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Chief Complaint/Reason for this Visit: Follow-up on Erleada Overdose
.
Residents Affected - Some
CBC, CMP reviewed and is stable . DON has notified the Urologist about the drug overdose/medication
error. Erleada is on hold since 11/17/23.
During a telephone interview on 01/24/24 at 12:47 PM, Resident #1's NP stated he was administered the
wrong dose of Erleada for 5-6 days before 11/17/23. She stated she was not notified until Resident #1's FM
A informed her. She stated the staff did not review the new order when it came in. She stated it would be
her expectation that physician orders be followed as it was part of the Five Rights of medication
administration (Right patient, Right drug, Right dose, Right route, Right time). She stated labs were ordered
and he was monitored for any signs and symptoms of toxicity and did not believe he was negatively
affected by the medication error.
During a telephone interview on 01/24/24 at 12:57 PM, FM A stated she was called by a staff member from
the facility on 11/17/23 and was notified Resident #1 was almost out of his Erleada. She stated that was
impossible because it had just gotten filled at the beginning of November (of 2023). She stated she was
aware Resident #1 would at times refuse his medications, so it made sense that he had not run out sooner.
She stated she was furious and called the Urologist to find out if it could negatively affect Resident #1.
During a telephone interview on 01/24/24 at 1:51 PM, the UPT stated Resident #1 had been on 60 mg
tablets of Erleada for a while and then the drug manufacturer came out with a 240 mg tablet in September
of 2023 and FM A agreed to switch him to one tablet since he often refused his medications. She stated on
10/02/23 and 11/01/23, the pharmacy refilled his Erleada - 30 240 mg tablets. She stated both refills had a
note on them alerting to the dosage change. She stated FM A called the pharmacy in mid-November (could
not remember the exact date) and asked for another refill. She stated she told her it was too soon for a
refill. She stated once FM A told them (pharmacy) what had happened, they were not sure what toxicity
would look like so she reached out to the drug manufacture to find out what too much of the medication
would cause but did not receive a conclusive answer.
During an interview on 01/24/24 at 2:44 PM, the ADON stated Resident #1 had been receiving four tablets
of Erleada since he was admitted in June (of 2023). She stated apparently in November, his Urologist
changed the dosage but it got missed by his nurse, LVN B. She stated LVN B and whoever else
administered his medication during that timeframe should a have verified the dosage. She stated when LVN
B went to administer it after five or six days and noticed he was almost out of the medication, she called FM
A who realized he had run out too early. She stated she contacted his Urologist to notify him and was
instructed to run labs and monitor him for three days for toxicity concerns. She stated the labs came back
normal and he had not had a change in condition from the medication error.
During a telephone interview on 01/24/24 at 4:17 PM, LVN B stated apparently the doctor changed the
dose and frequency of Resident #1's Erleada medication but did not send a new order, so she followed the
original order in (electronic medical charting system). She stated she knew it was a mistake to not verify the
order on the bottle and she felt horrible about it. She stated all nurses and medication aides were
in-serviced on review each medication that was delivered and updating the MAR as necessary.

During an interview on 01/25/24 at 1:28 PM, LVN G stated when a medication was delivered from the
pharmacy, the nurses were to check the order to ensure the MAR was correct and updated it if the order
had changed. She stated before dispensing medication, all orders should be reviewed.
During an interview on 01/25/24 at 1:36 PM, RN H stated all medications should be reviewed against the
resident's MAR before administering and when delivered to the facility.
During an interview on 01/25/24 at 2:10 PM, MA I stated she always reviewed the medication orders before
administering medications to residents.
Review of an in-service entitled Proper Medication Verification, dated 11/17/23 and conducted by the DON,
reflected nurses and medication aides were in-serviced on the following:
When accepting a medication delivery, you must verify the order on the container with the order in our MAR
and updated our MAR if necessary. When administering medications, you must compare the container to
the order every time! *See attached 10 rights*
10 Rights for Safe Medication Administration: Right Drug, Right Patient, Right Dose, Right Time, Right to
Refuse, Right Knowledge and Understanding, Right Questions or Challenges, Right Response or
Outcomes, Right Advice
Review of the facility's Documentation of Medication Administration Policy, revised April of 2007, reflected
that it did not specifically address following physician orders.
Review of the facility's Medication Orders Policy, dated January of 2020, reflected the following:
Medication orders - When recording orders for medication, specify the type, route, dosage, frequency,
strength, and the reason for administration. The policy did not specifically address following physician
orders.
