Residents Affected - Some
The facility staff failed to verify Resident #1's allergy to penicillin before administering antibiotic containing
penicillin from 01/07/24 to 01/18/24.
The facility staff failed to recognize or check to ensure the antibiotic Resident #1 was receiving did not have
penicillin in it when some staff knew the resident was allergic to penicillin. Resident #1 expired on 01/19/24.
An IJ was identified on 01/20/24. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 12:15 pm. While
the IJ was removed on 01/20/24, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a
severity level of more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy because all staff had not been
trained on identifying resident allergies and medications including those allergies.
This failure could affect residents with known allergies who received medication that contained the allergy,
putting resident at risk for the potential for severe side effects, injury, or death.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's admission record, dated 01/19/24, revealed the resident was a male [AGE]
year-old resident who was admitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses of heart disease, high

{Amoxicillin (class: Penicillin) & Potassium Clavulanate} Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for UTI for 7
Days. Active date 01/11/24 and End date 01/18/24.
Review of Resident #1's progress notes dated 01/07/24 and 01/11/24, revealed Resident #1 did not provide
a consent stating he knew the risks, and outweighed benefits of taking medication he was allergic to, to
treat his infection. Progress notes did not reveal Resident #1 got education about the antibiotic he was
given, noting his allergy to penicillin.
Review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 01/12/24, revealed Resident #1 was at risk for allergic reaction to
the following: penicillin and tramadol. The goal was for Resident #1 to not have allergic reactions.
Interventions included were: monitor for [signs] and symptoms of possible allergic reactions such as hives,
rash, swelling, watery eyes, wheezing and report finding to MD as indicated. Notify MD if patient has an
allergic reaction to new medications or food.
Interview on 01/19/24 at with CNA A, revealed that Resident #1 was acting funny on 01/18/24 by dropping
his remote on the floor multiple times and he spilled his ice water on his bed. CNA A said that he had to get
him cleaned and got him fresh ice. He said that Resident #1 called multiple times asking for his remote
control. CNA A said the remote was laying on Residents #1's bedside table next to him. CNA A said that he
did not report this because Resident #1 sometimes had intermittent confusion. CNA A said he left facility at
10pm on 01/18/24 without giving report to the oncoming CNA (CNA B).
Interview on 01/19/24 at 03:22pm with CNA B, revealed he worked a double shift on 01/18/24, from 02:00
pm-10:00 pm then again from10:00pm to 06:00am. CNA B said that he did not get report from outgoing
CNA A. He said Resident #1 was already in bed when he checked on him at 11:20 pm. He said at around
11:45pm or 12 midnight LVN C was yelled for him to go and help her in Resident #1's room. CNA B said
Resident #1 was on the floor in a seated position with chin tucked on his chest.
Interview on 01/19/24 at 5:24 pm with LVN C, revealed she worked 10 pm to 6 AM shift, and did not
normally administer any medications to Resident #1 unless it was as needed medication (PRN). She said
when she went to do her rounds in Resident #1's room between 11:30 PM or 11:45 PM on 01/18/24,
Resident #1 was on the floor close to window besides his bedside slumped over and pale. She said she
called for help and called a Code Blue. EMS was called and they arrived within 5 minutes. She said EMS
worked on Resident #1 to try and revive him for 20 minutes before pronouncing him dead.
Interview on 01/20/24 at 3:15 pm with LVN H , revealed that she administered first doses of antibiotic
Augmentin to Resident #1 on 01/07/24. LVN H said she was not aware that Augmentin contained
Amoxicillin which was a penicillin antibiotic. She said if she knew, she would not have administered
Augmentin to Resident #1. LVN H stated she was aware Resident #1 had a penicillin allergy. She said she
monitored Resident #1 the entire shift of 01/07/24. She said Resident #1 had some wheezing before
medication administration, and she gave him a breathing treatment and his shortness of breath and
wheezing stopped. LVN H said the antibiotic was continued because Resident #1 was doing better and did
not show any adverse reactions. She said she normally would send a text to the physician to tell them
about a resident's allergies, but she did not do it for Resident #1. She said the risk of administering a
medication a resident was allergic to could cause signs and symptoms of allergic reaction such as
shortness of breath, rash, low or high blood pressure, dizziness, sweating, and throat swelling.

Interview on 01/20/24 at 4:20 pm with LVN D, revealed she did not know that Resident #1 had a penicillin
allergy. LVN D said she was the charge nurse on the unit on 01/07/24 and LVN E asked her to transcribe
Resident #1 antibiotic order to pharmacy. She said she did not verify Resident #1 allergies prior to
transcribing order to pharmacy. She said she did not know that antibiotic Augmentin contained Amoxicillin,
a penicillin antibiotic. She said that she always double checked the physician orders when someone asked
her to transcribe for them. She said she asked for the original physician order and then transcribed to
pharmacy to fill the medication. She said she did not verify that Augmentin contained penicillin that
Resident #1 was allergic to. She said some risks of allergic reaction are hive, shortness of breath,
hospitalization, anaphylactic shock, and death.
Interview on 01/19/24 at 6:39 pm with DON, revealed she was not aware that Augmentin contained
Amoxicillin a penicillin antibiotic, nor was she aware Resident #1 had a penicillin allergy. She said the
pharmacy would not fill a prescription if a resident had an allergy to it. She said the process was to review a
resident allergy before medication administration especially antibiotics. Risks were adverse reactions and
anaphylactic reactions.
Interview on 01/19/24 at 4:48 pm with Physician I, revealed he was not Resident #1 physician. He said
Augmentin Oral Tablet 500-125 MG was a combination of Amoxicillin & Potassium Clavulanate. Physician I
said Amoxicillin was in the penicillin class of drug. He said that people can have different reactions if they
have a penicillin allergy. Some signs and symptoms are shortness of breath, rash, abdominal pain, and
worst-case reaction is anaphylactic reaction.
Interview on 01/19/24 at 7:04 pm with Physician H, revealed he was Resident #1's attending physician. He
said Augmentin had a mixture of penicillin and other components. He said that it was unlikely for a person
to show an allergic reaction after 2 weeks. The Doctor said that he prescribed the antibiotic for Resident #1.
He said he was aware that Resident #1 received an antibiotic that had penicillin. He said the risk for taking
medication a resident was allergic to was skin rash, hives, reaction with lots of redness, skin issues,
diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, stomach upset. He said skin allergy showed within 12- 24 hours after
exposure and it was unlikely the resident expired due to the medication prescribed since the resident did
not have a reaction.
Interview with the Pharmacist on 01/20/24 at 10:46 AM, revealed she cannot answer specific questions and
would have to send inquires to QA department. She said that if a person was allergic to a medication noted
on the patients' chart, then she would not fill the prescription. She would call facility to clarity and ask facility
to contact physician to verify order or to change the order. The Pharmacist said that if she knew that a
resident had a penicillin allergy, she would not give Augmentin to them.
Interview on 01/20/24 at 10:53 am with Physician H, revealed he was aware that Resident #1 had penicillin
allergy. He said that he would prescribe Augmentin to a Resident with Penicillin allergy because it was not a
pure penicillin medication as it only had 50 % of penicillin and other additives. He said that he uses it in the
hospitals, and it was a good antibiotic.
Review of the facility's Administering Medications policy, revised December 2012, revealed . information
must be checked /verified for each resident prior to administering medications:
