Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the medication error rate was not
five percent (5%) or greater. The facility had a medication error rate of 14.28%, based on 4 errors out of 28
opportunities, which involved 1 of 4 residents (Resident #93), and 1 of 4 staff (Medication Aide DD)
reviewed for medication errors.
Residents Affected - Few
-Medication Aide DD failed to administer 4 medications Ferrous Sulfate Tab EC 325 MG (iron supplement
used to treat or prevent low blood levels of iron), Cholecalciferol Tab 50 MCG (2000 Unit) (a fat-soluble
vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus), Gabapentin Cap 100 MG (used to treat
epilepsy. It's also taken for nerve pain, which can be caused by different conditions) and Carbamazepine
Tab 200 MG (an anticonvulsant. It works by decreasing nerve impulses that cause seizures and nerve pain,
such as trigeminal neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy) to Resident #93 according to physician orders.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving therapeutic effects of their prescribed medications
and possible adverse reactions.
Finding include:

difficulty to complete and painful blockage), epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is
disturbed, causing seizures) and dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with
daily functioning).

indicating moderately impaired cognition. Resident #93 was dependent on staff for personal hygiene,
putting on/taking off footwear, shower/bathe self and toileting hygiene.
Record review of Resident #93's Care Plan initiated 11/16/2022 and revised on 10/20/2023 reflected the
following:
Category: Seizures
Goal: Will minimize risk for seizure activity daily and ongoing over the next 90 days.

medications were not observed being administered during med pass 8/19/24 beginning at 7:45a.m.
Record review of Resident #93's nurse's notes for August 2024, reflected no documented evidence found
that the doctor was notified of the missed doses on August 19, 2024 for the medications prescribed.
In an interview on 8/19/24 at 10:37a.m., MA DD stated the medications were scheduled to be administered
at 8 AM and she could have a grace of 1 hour prior and 1 hour post 8 AM to administer medications safely.
MA DD stated she went down the list and documented that she administered the medications without
looking at the name of the medication today (8/19/24) before moving to next resident for med pass. The
surveyor reviewed med pass observation from earlier 8/19/24 beginning at 7:45 am and reviewed Resident
#93's MAR with MA DD. MA DD stated, I forgot to give iron and D3 both were over the counter. MA DD
stated Gabapentin Cap 100 MG was not available on the cart or in the overflow. She stated she faxed to the
pharmacy for it to be delivered today. MA DD stated she remembered giving Carbamazepine Tab 200 MG it
was a big white pill but I gave 1 instead of 2. When asked what could happened if resident missed dose of
prescribed medication. MA DD stated, nothing would happen if missed one day.
In an interview on 8/19/24 at 1:22p.m., the DON and the Administrator, the DON stated the expectation was
for medications to be administered as ordered by the physician and standards of practice. The DON stated
the risk to residents could have been a possible reduction in therapeutic efficacy of the medications. The
DON stated iron could affect hemoglobin., D3 was supplement and gabapentin was to treat pain. She
stated Medication Aide had their competency check off upon hire and annually. The DON stated gabapentin
was in pyxis (an automated medication dispensing system). The DON stated MA DD did not have access to
pyxis but she could let the nurse know to pull and administer.
In an interview on 8/19/24 at 3:16p.m., with LVN E, she stated gabapentin 100mg and 300mg were
available in the pyxis. She stated MA DD did not notify her of Resident#93 missed medications.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility did not maintain an infection prevention program
designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment to help prevent the development and
transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 of 4 Staff (CNA BB) reviewed for infection
control.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure CNA BB followed proper hand hygiene during incontinent.
These deficient practices could affect residents and place them at risk for infection, and reinfection.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #10''s annual MDS assessment, dated 07/06/24, reflected a [AGE] year-old
female with an admission date of 10/16/18 and was re-admitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included acute
cystitis without hematuria (sudden inflammation of the bladder caused by a bacterial infection, also known
as a urinary tract infection), cerebrovascular disease ( stroke, brain aneurysms and cerebral
arteriovenous/blood clots) and lack of coordination due hemiplegia ( one-sided muscle paralysis or
weakness).
Record review of Resident #10's annual MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS score of 11/15
(moderately cognitively intact). She required extensive assistance of one-to-two-persons with all ADLs and
was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
Record review of Resident #10's care plan, dated 3/31/24, reflected, . The resident has an ADL self-care
deficit .Interventions .Personal hygiene and Toilet use- Resident is totally dependent
An observation on 08/20/24 at 09:29 a.m. revealed CNA BB entered Resident #10's room preparing to
provide incontinence care. CNA BB washed her hands and put on double gloves, she picked up Kleenex
from the floor and discarded it in the trash, did not change gloves, using the same gloved hands, picked up
the clean wipes from the container on the bedside table and unfastened Resident #10's brief soiled with
urine and had large bowel movement, CNA BB assisted the resident to roll on her left side. CNA BB took a
peri-wipe and wiped in-between residents' rectal area and did not wipe around the buttocks. With the same
gloves, CNA BB applied barrier cream to a chafed area on the resident buttocks and then removed the
soiled brief and placed a clean brief under the resident and assisted her to roll back onto her back and
fastened the brief. CNA BB removed her gloves and washed her hands.
Review of CNA BB's skill checks dated 07/29/24 reflected she was competent in performing peri-care and
hand hygiene.
In an interview with CNA BB on 08/20/24 at 10:15 a.m. she stated she was supposed to wash her hands
before and after performing incontinent care and change her gloves when she finished. She stated she
knew the importance of properly cleaning a resident and by not doing so, placed them a risk of infections.
In an interview with DON on 08/21/24 at 02:00 p.m., the DON said CNA BB should wash or sanitize her
hands when soiled and she should not use double gloves. The DON said CNA BB would be retrained
before working with incontinent residents.
