F 0760 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Hospice RN arrived at the facility during report, identified the morphine order was transcribed wrong. She said Resident #1 was supposed to have received morphine 1ml (20mg) every 30 minutes not every 3 minutes. She said Hospice RN notified Resident #1's RP and family of the incident and offered Narcan to reverse the effects and/or transfer to the ER for evaluation, but the RP and family denied the treatment. She said Hospice RN assessed Resident #1 with no abnormal findings and directed her and LVN D to hold all medications for 4 hours and assess the resident's vital signs every 30 minutes for 4 hours and to notify hospice with any changes. She said she notified the DON of the incident with Resident #1's morphine dosage, and she was instructed to complete a medication error incident. She said she received 1:1 training from the DON and ADON regarding if orders received did not seem correct or if she was uncomfortable with administering a medication, she needed to contact the DON for clarification before administering. She said she clarified the order with Hospice RN 2-3 times, and Hospice RN was communicating with the physician via text while on the phone with her and she administered what the physician ordered. She said LVN B was at the nurses' station when she received the orders and heard the conversation. She said she was not familiar with the hospice service company providing Resident #1's care and thought the morphine dose was a new pain management treatment plan specific to this hospice. She said she was alarmed with the dosing which was why she clarified the order with the hospice nurse 2-3 times. She said she was aware of signs of overdose of morphine to include decrease respirations, decrease heart rate, drowsiness, and confusion.

She said facility staff was notified to contact hospice of any changes. She said she was contacted by LVN D around 5:00 p.m., indicating Resident #1's respirations were more labored and decreased, and family was requesting hospice to reassess the resident. She said she returned to the facility and completed an assessment on Resident #1 and reported findings of respiratory rate of 6 breaths per minute to the hospice physician. She said she rediscussed the antidote and ER evaluation options and effects if administered and RP declined. She said she provided end of life counseling with RP and family. She said she was contacted around 4:30 a.m. on [DATE] Resident #1 had no signs of life and requested RN to facility and pronounce time of death. Record review of Resident #1's hospice assessment dated [DATE] time in at 2:15 p.m. authored by Hospice RN indicated the resident's facility nurse called indicating the resident was having pain after already receiving Norco 7.5/325 mg two hours ago around 8:00 a.m. and a dose of morphine 1ml (scheduled every two hours) 30 minutes ago at 10:35 a.m., Hospice MD was notified, and new orders were received for morphine 1ml to be given every 30 minutes as needed for pain or shortness of breath until patient was comfortable and then every two hours. LVN A was given new orders and verbalized understanding. LVN A called back and stated Resident #1 would not have enough medication of morphine to last through the day and new orders/directions were sent to pharmacy. The morphine prescription would be picked up and delivered to the facility (by Hospice RN). Upon arriving to the facility, Resident #1's pain status and morphine doses given was verified when LVN A reported she had given 9 doses of morphine and last dose given was at 2:00 p.m. Hospice RN reviewed the resident's Morphine Narcotic Count Sheet and the times it was administered, and morphine had been given every 3 minutes and not every 30 minutes. The note indicated LVN A stated she had transcribed the order incorrectly for every 3 minutes. Resident #1 was assessed (by Hospice RN), and vital signs were taken, and Hospice MD was notified of the medication error and patient status.

Hospice nurse returned to reassess Resident #1. Family members were notified of options at the facility or send the resident to ER since this was not related to the Hospice diagnosis, but for treatment for symptoms from facility nurse giving incorrect frequencies of morphine Hospice RN discussed with Resident #1's family members regarding what happened if Narcan was administered to reverse the medication and the resident's pain could return and pain medications would still be held until patient was stable prior to resuming pain medication or send the resident to ER where they would likely give the Narcan as treatment. Hospice RN informed family members at bedside if Narcan was not given she could very well pass soon. Family member asked why Narcan would be given, and other family member responded because the morphine given was too much. Family members said she looked comfortable and would rather her be comfortable and pass rather than give her medications could cause her to be in pain again. Hospice RN gave direction for family members to contact additional immediate family because with her decreased respirations and pauses between breaths as the resident may soon pass.

During an interview on [DATE] at 12:42 p.m., the Attending NP said she was not contacted regarding Resident #1's morphine accidental overdose/medication error. The Attending NP said if she had been notified of the morphine overdose, she would have ordered for an antidote like Narcan to be administered and to monitor respirations or given an order for Resident #1 to be sent to the hospital due to her being on hospice. The Attending NP said she had never heard of morphine 20mg be given every 3 minutes and a large dose administered would cause respiratory distress or failure leading to death if antidote was not administered. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:30 p.m., RN E said she was the RN supervisor during the previous weekend (time of the incident), and she was not notified of the medication discrepancy until around 2:15 p.m. when she was asked for the DON's phone number to discuss the incident with her.

The DON said if licensed staff received an order that did not seem correct, outside of prescribing guidelines, or if they were not comfortable giving a medication, they should contact her, for further discussion and clarification from the pharmacist and the ordering or attending physician. The DON said the morphine overdose could have caused respiratory depression and death. The DON said Resident #1's RP was offered an antidote but declined. The DON said vital signs would be monitored more often or longer if an order was given by the physician. The DON said she contacted their pharmacist consultant regarding the overdose and was advised to complete a medication error incident report. She said the facility pharmacy consultant scheduled an in-person training for all licensed facility staff next week for continued training and the consultant would be providing staff a resource to have available for narcotic minimal and maximal dosage (not to exceed). The DON said she had provided training on [DATE] to licensed staff about clarification of verbal orders, completed medication pass competency checks with scheduled staff since the incident, and performed a chart audit of all residents on pain medication verifying adequate frequency/duration. The DON said she was performing medication pass review competency checkoffs on the licenses staff as they return to work and will not allow them to work if competency check not passed.
