F 0755 *Montelukast 10 mg tablet Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm *Amlodipine 10 mg tablet *Cetirizine 10 mg tablet Residents Affected - Few Continued observation revealed MA A place all 8 of the tablets into a plastic sleeve and crush them with a pill crusher. MA A then poured the crushed medications into a 30 cc plastic cup. MA A opened the capsule of Divalproex Sodium and poured the contents into the cup. MA A then opened a small container of grape jelly. MA A added the jelly to the cup of crushed medications. MA A entered Resident #22's room. MA A administered the medications orally to Resident #22, using a wooden spoon. MA A then gave Resident #22 approximately 200 cc of water. Record review of the facility document entitled 'Medications Not To Be Crushed' (revised December 2014) revealed Metoprolol ER was not to be crushed. The rationale was reflected as the medication formulation was time release.

For patients unable to swallow an intact capsule, alternative administration options are available. In an interview on 02/14/2024 at 08:35 a.m., MA A said she crushed one medication by mistake, the Metoprolol ER. In an interview on 02/15/2024 at 07:45 a.m. the DON said the medications that should not have been crushed may have not had the effect they were intended to have. She said medications should not be crushed together because they could affect each other. In a telephone interview on 02/15/2024 at 3:23 p.m. NP C said she was unaware that medications for Resident #22 were being crushed and mixed. When the surveyor informed her which medications were crushed, she acknowledged some of them should not have been crushed. She said that each crushed medication should be administered individually, not mixed. The facility policy Medication Administration (revised 07/06/2023) read in part .3. Medications are administered in accordance with written orders of attending physicians, manufacturer's specifications, and professional standards of practice.
