F 0755 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 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 interviews and record reviews, 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 each resident for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for pharmacy services. The facility failed to clarify orders for Digoxin regarding the need for parameters and labs. The facility failed to ensure the pharmacist performed a medication review every 30 days. The facility failed to monitor Digoxin levels of Resident #1 because he did not have an order. These failures resulted in the identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 4/26/2024 at 6:05 pm. The IJ template was provided to the facility on 4/26/2024 at 6:05 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 4/28/2024, the facility remained out of compliance at level of potential harm with a scope identified as isolated harm because of the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of their corrective actions. These failures could place residents at risk of a critically low pulse, toxic digoxin blood levels, missed signs and symptoms of illness, hospitalization, and death. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 4/25/2024, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and a readmission on [DATE] with diagnoses which included coronary artery disease(Coronary artery disease (CAD) limits blood flow in your coronary arteries, which deliver blood to your heart muscle.) hypertension(High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is when your blood pressure, the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels, is consistently too high.), unspecified atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm), vascular dementia(A condition caused by the lack of blood that carries oxygen and nutrient to a part of the brain. It causes problems with reasoning, planning, judgment, and memory.), Diabetes Mellitus 2(A metabolic disorder in which the body has high sugar levels for prolonged periods of time.), and history of stroke. Record review of Resident #1's physician orders, dated 2/19/2024, revealed there was no order to monitor the parameters of the Digoxin or to have any labs done for checking the Digoxin level for toxicity. Physician order read: Digoxin 0.25 mg tab po daily. (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

The facility failed to contact the hospice service medical physician or nurse to clarify physician orders for Digoxin to be given with parameters and if lab should be done for Resident #1 . This failure resulted in the identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 4/26/2024 at 6:05 pm. The IJ template was provided to the facility on 4/26/2024 at 6:05 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 4/28/2024, the facility remained out of compliance at level of potential with a scope identified as isolated harm because of the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of their corrective actions. This deficient practice could place residents who receive hospice services at risk of receiving substandard care due to miscommunication between their hospice and facility caregivers. The findings were: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 4/25/2024, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and a readmission on [DATE] with diagnoses which included coronary artery disease(Coronary artery disease (CAD) limits blood flow in your coronary arteries, which deliver blood to your heart muscle.) hypertension(High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is when your blood pressure, the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels, is consistently too high.), unspecified atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm), vascular dementia(A condition caused by the lack of blood that carries oxygen and nutrient to a part of the brain. It causes problems with reasoning, planning, judgment, and memory.), Diabetes Mellitus 2(A metabolic disorder in which the body has high sugar levels for prolonged periods of time.), and history of stroke. Record review of Resident #1's physician orders, dated 2/19/2024, revealed there was no order to monitor the parameters of the Digoxin or to have any labs done for checking the Digoxin level for toxicity.
