safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services including procedures that
assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing and administering of all routine and emergency drugs
and biologicals for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for pharmacy services.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #1's hospital discharge orders were followed to prevent
rehospitalization due to hypoglycemia.
1.
The facility failed to discontinue Resident #1's metformin and glyburide medications.
2.
The facility failed to implement blood sugar monitoring for Resident #1.
3.
The facility failed to start Resident #1 on the appetite stimulant (Mirtazapine) as ordered.
This failure resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 02/10/2025 at 5:06 PM and an IJ
template was given. While the IJ was removed on 02/11/2025 at 3:45 PM, the facility remained out of
compliance at no actual harm at a scope of pattern that was not immediate jeopardy due to the facility's
need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
These failures could place residents at risk of exacerbation and/or deterioration of their health conditions
which could result in rehospitalization and/or death.
Review of Resident #1's face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old woman re-admitted on [DATE] with initial
admission date of 01/16/2025 with diagnoses of end stage renal disease (a medical condition where the
kidneys have permanently lost their ability to function adequately), type 2 diabetes mellitus with unspecified
complications (a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes where the specific complications are not detailed or
identified), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), dependence on renal dialysis (a condition where a person's
kidneys have permanently lost their ability to adequately filter waste products from the blood, requiring
regular treatments to remove these toxins and maintain life), cognitive communication deficit (a difficulty
with communication caused by an impairment in cognitive processes), and other speech and language
deficits following cerebral infarction (a range of communication impairments that can occur after a stroke).

they could review it then. RN C stated if an order was discontinued, a resident should not have received the
medication unless it was approved by the NP. RN C stated that the harm of receiving a discontinued
medication depended on the type of medication that was received, and that if glyburide or metformin was
given, it may lower the resident's blood sugar and could cause hypoglycemia.

During an interview on 02/10/2025 at 2:47 PM, the NP stated she was a little familiar with Resident #1 as
she was usually out to dialysis. NP stated she received something that there were no changes with
Resident #1's medication and that the hospital did not send paperwork back and she resumed her
medications. NP stated that Resident #1 then went out to the hospital again and they caught that there was
an order to discontinue medication and that they were not discontinued. NP stated she saw Resident #1
when she admitted . NP stated she did not see Resident #1 when she returned from the hospital because
she was not at the facility on Fridays and Resident #1 returned on 1/23/2025. NP stated if a resident returns
during business hours staff will call her and let her know and they would review the medications. NP stated
if a resident return in the evening, the facility staff would have called the on-call person and reviewed
medications to the on-call staff. NP stated if a resident returned without a medication list or discharge
instructions, she could usually call the doctor because he works at the hospital as well and get the doctor to
send the medications. NP stated when she received a call about a resident that was readmitted to the
facility, she would ask the facility staff if there were changes to previous medications and the nurse would
clarify to resume or not. NP stated she would normally check the resident's admission the following day. NP
stated she missed seeing Resident #1 because Resident #1 was either at dialysis or in the hospital. NP
stated that Resident #1 was not a good historian and she did have some cognitive deficits. NP stated that
glyburide and metformin were long-acting diabetic pills and were meant to lower blood sugar. She stated
that if a resident was on an oral medication to control blood sugar, then blood sugar was not checked. NP
stated it may be checked the first few days to get a trend and from there it would be checked every three
months or if the Resident was symptomatic. NP stated that if Resident #1 was not eating, and with dialysis
filtering her blood, it could contribute to her blood sugar lowering. NP stated that she was notified that the
facility did not receive paperwork from the hospital and NP was not going to stop all medications just
because the paperwork was not received. NP stated that normally, the following day, she would see the
resident and reconcile medications, but she was not at the facility on 1/24/2025, and the MD saw her and
they are unable to see a resident on the same day.
Residents Affected - Some

policy used for readmissions and medication reconciliation during readmissions.
During an interview on 2/10/2025 at 3:36 PM, the DON stated the facility was not aware when Resident #1
returned without paperwork from the hospital. She stated LVN A said whoever brought Resident #1 back to
the facility stated there were no changes to her medication, and Resident #1 stated she had no paperwork.
DON stated LVN A tried to call the hospital because the hospital did not call for report. DON stated after
Resident #1 was readmitted , the doctor called and said the medications should have been discontinued.
DON stated she spoke with LVN A, and LVN A stated there was no paperwork. DON stated if a resident
returned from the hospital with no paperwork, the nurse was supposed to call the ER and try to get a
medication list. DON stated LVN A tried to get ahold of the hospital, but she was not able to get through.
DON stated that Resident #1 was alert and orientated, and she said there were no changes. DON stated
that it was the facility's responsibility to ensure there were no changes. DON stated she would have
expected LVN A to document her attempts to try and get the medication list from the hospital, and any
information she received that there were no changes. DON stated LVN A took EMS' word because nothing
