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.

F 0697 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few 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.

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.

F 0755 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 .

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.

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.

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.
