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.
Record review of Resident #1's Nurse Progress Note dated [DATE] at 3:20 p.m. late entry authored by LVN
A indicated Resident #1 was being fed by sitter at this time, no concerns noted, resident stable, staff will

reassessed and VS WNL. The resident was alert, and the family member fed the resident. Resident #1 had
no verbal complaints of pain/ discomfort or non-verbal signs and symptoms of pain/discomfort. The resident
was resting at this time and the nurse would continue to monitor. At 2:30 p.m., Hospice RN arrived to
deliver Resident #1's Morphine, and assessed the resident indicating the vital signs were WNL. Hospice RN
gave orders to hold all medications for 4 hours and assess vital signs every 30 minutes for 4 hours. Hospice
RN offered Resident #1's family member to administer Resident #1 Narcan or send to the ER for accidental
overdose of morphine and the family member declined.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:22 p.m., Hospice RN said she received a report from LVN A Resident #1
was having a pain crisis and she had already had her Norco 7.5mg/325mg around 7:00 a.m. and a dose of
morphine 1ml (20mg) around 10:30 a.m. She said she contacted the hospice physician with the report and
assessment and was given new orders to administer morphine 1ml (20mg) every 30 minutes until pain
subsides or comfortable and then every 2 hours as needed. She said LVN A repeated back the order and
instead of every 30 minutes she said every 3 minutes and she corrected LVN A and instructed the
medication needed to be provided every 30 minutes not 3 minutes. She said she received a call from LVN A
regarding Resident #1's morphine supply was low. She said when she arrived at the facility around 2:15
p.m. to drop of the morphine prescription and assess Resident #1, during conversation and narcotic count,
she discovered Resident #1 was administered morphine 1ml (20mg) every 3 minutes starting at 11:15 a.m.
through 11:39 a.m. totaling 9 doses (180mg) in 24 minutes and additional morphine 1ml (20mg) given and
12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. She said when she learned of the morphine overdose, she assessed Resident #1

the RP was informed of the potential effects if antidote not given and she verbalized understanding. 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. New orders given for the facility to hold the resident's pain medications for four
hours, to obtain vital signs every 30 minutes, and to call Hospice if any changes occurred. The note
indicated Hospice RN spoke with the resident's family member as well as the facility staff nurse with
additions to the plan of care with verbalization of understanding.
Record review of Resident #1's hospice assessment dated [DATE] time in at 5:00 p.m. authored by Hospice
RN indicated LVN D called around 4:45 p.m. and Resident #1's family member requested for Hospice RN to
return to the facility and assess Resident #1 because her respirations had changed and were more
labored. 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 12:53 p.m., LVN D said she worked the 2-10 p.m. shift on [DATE] and
during shift change she was made aware the Resident #1 had received an accidental overdose of

vital signs every 30 minutes starting around 3:30 p.m. for 4 hours ending around 7:30 p.m. She said she did
contact the hospice RN at the request of Resident #1's family because her respirations were labored and
decreased at around 5:00 p.m. She said Resident #1's alertness and respiratory rate decreased throughout
the shift. She said when she made her last rounds with oncoming nurse LVN C around 10 p.m. Resident
#1's respiratory rate was down to 3 breaths per minute.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of Resident #1's Nurse Progress Note dated [DATE] at 5:05 a.m. authored by LVN C
indicated nurse was called to resident room by Resident #1's sitter and no signs of life was present this

During an interview on [DATE] at 2:18 p.m., LVN C said she worked the 10 p.m.-6 a.m. shift on [DATE] [DATE] and during shift change she was made aware the Resident #1 had received an accidental overdose
of morphine during the morning shift and she was being monitored. She said Resident #1 was not
responding to verbal or tactile stimuli during her assessments and respiratory rate was at 3 -4 breathes a
minute with periods of apnea. She said Resident #1's RP and family was at bedside most of the night. She

During an interview on [DATE] at 2:13 p.m., LVN B said she was present at the nurses' station when LVN A
was receiving the morphine orders for Resident #1, but she only heard LVN A's side of the conversation
and heard her verify morphine 1ml every 3minutes until pain subsided and ask for the nurse's name and
prescribing MD's name. She said she did acknowledge to LVN A this order for morphine seemed to be a lot.
She said she left the nurses' station during the phone call but if she was transcribing the order she would
have questioned the order or contacted the weekend supervisory before administering.
During an interview on [DATE] at 10:20 a.m., the Hospice Physician said Hospice RN called her on [DATE]
at 11:08 a.m. reporting Resident #1 was having a pain crisis and had received Norco 7.5mg and 1ml of
morphine (20mg) over the last 2 hours with no relief. She said she gave orders for Resident #1 to have
Morphine 1ml (20mg) every 30 minutes until her pain subsided or comfortable and then continue Morphine
1ml (20mg) every 2 hours for pain. She said around 2:57 p.m. Hospice RN contacted her and reported
facility nurse (LVN A) transcribed the order incorrectly and had administered Resident #1's morphine 1ml
(20mg) every 3 minutes for 9 doses (total of 180 mg in 24 minutes) instead of every 30 minutes. She said
Hospice RN reported vital signs, assessment, and last dose of morphine 1ml (20mg) was at 2:00 p.m. and
resident's vital signs were stable. She ordered for Narcan to be administered or to transfer the resident to
the ER for evaluation which was declined by RP. She said she ordered for facility staff to continue to monitor
Resident #1 and report to hospice with any changes. She said Hospice RN notified her around 4:30 p.m. of
Resident #1's respiratory rate decreasing, and she returned to the facility to complete an assessment. She
said Hospice RN reported the resident's decrease in responsiveness and respiratory rate. She said she
advised Hospice RN to offer the resident's family the Narcan to be administered or sending the resident to

takes 20-30 minutes to take affect which is why it was ordered every 30 minutes during a pain crisis. She
said the morphine could remain in the body's system for up to 6 hours depending on the body's
metabolism. She said she had never ordered morphine 1ml (20mg) every 3 minutes as it would cause
respiratory distress or failure if multiple doses given which could lead to death.
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. She said if she was
made aware of the medication discrepancy, she would have contacted Hospice RN or the hospice
physician for clarification because the transcribed dose was not within the standard morphine prescribing
guidelines.
During an interview [DATE] at 2:47 p.m., the facility contracted Pharmacist said the effects of morphine
overdose was respiratory depression, confusion, disorientation, fatigue, and sleepiness. She said she had
never heard of morphine 20mg be given every 3 minutes and that was a concerning high dosage. The
Pharmacist said the order should have been clarified before administering.
During an interview on [DATE] at 5:00 p.m., the DON said she was not made aware of the incident with
Resident #1's morphine incorrect dosage until [DATE] around 2:45 p.m. She said she contacted the
consulting pharmacy, had LVN A complete medication error incident, verified hospice was aware, took
statements, interviewed involved staff, and visited with Resident #1 and family. 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. The DON said she expected the licensed
staff to use their professional judgement and not to provide medications they did not feel comfortable
administering or to contact her prior to administering for additional clarification.
