Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the comprehensive assessment of a resident, the facility must ensure that
residents receive treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the
comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' choices for 1 of 5 residents (CR #1) reviewed
for quality care.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure CR #1 did not receive Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen (Norco) after it was
discontinued after her hospital visit on [DATE] but was not discontinued in her chart. CR #1 received Norco
more frequently than the order that remained in her chart on [DATE]. She experienced lethargy, nausea,
vomiting, and decreased response to stimuli and expired at the hospital later that evening.
An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on [DATE] at 4:33 p.m. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed
on [DATE], the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and a severity level of no actual
harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to
evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
These failures could place the resident at risk for not receiving medications as ordered resulting in serious
injury, decline in health, and death.
Findings included:
Record review of CR #1's admission record dated [DATE] revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included hypotension (low blood pressure), muscle
weakness, type 2 diabetes, end stage renal disease, dependence on renal dialysis, other abnormalities of
gait and mobility, need for assistance with personal care, and chronic embolism and thrombosis of other
specified veins (conditions involving persistent blood clots that can obstruct blood flow).
Record review of CR #1's Discharge MDS assessment-return anticipated dated [DATE] revealed her
cognitive skills for daily decision making were moderately impaired. She required assistance from staff with
ADL care.
Record review of CR #1's care plan dated [DATE] revealed the resident was full code (providing chest
compressions in the event of cardia arrest). Interventions were to monitor for decrease in change of
condition and report to the MD and responsible party.
Record review of CR #1's Nursing note dated [DATE] written by LVN G read in part, During morning

administered the same medication within 2 hours instead of 6 hours. She said the Norco was scheduled for
every 6 hours. She said the facility notified MD R and he said it was not a problem and ok to give the
medication sooner and to just keep an eye on her. She said she could not recall if CR #1 had an order for
the Norco. She said CR #1 was a little sleepy but was herself and they monitored her. She said CR #1 was
in and out of the hospital very frequently and did not remember if she went out to the hospital that day. She

In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:16 a.m. LVN D said she did not remember a possible overdose
and did not remember sending CR #1 to the hospital.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:38 a.m. MD R said CR #1 went to the hospital on 3/22-23/24 due
to generalized weakness. He said if the Norco was supposed to be stopped the facility should reconcile with
the MD and it should be stopped but said he was not sure if it was discontinued because he did not see the
DC in the hospital records. He said the ED recommended to stop CR #1's Norco due to weakness, not from
overdosing. He said he was unsure if he was notified of the Norco overdose (on [DATE]). He said the risk of
a Norco overdose would depend on the patient and monitoring was important. He said CR #1 had ESRD
and should be monitored pretty closely.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 12:02 p.m. MD G said she did not recall the incident and was not
notified of anything regarding CR #1. She said if the Norco order was for every 6 hours she did not know
why it was administered in 2 hours. She said Norco could upset the stomach and lethargy could happen if
Norco was given too early.
In an interview on [DATE] at 12:15 p.m. the Regional Nurse said she was unsure of when the facility
stopped using nursing agencies. She said she was unsure of anything that happened to CR #1, only what
was in the chart. She said the expectation was for nurses to document when giving the medication to the
residents and they should follow the order as prescribed. If there was a change in condition the resident
should be assessed, and the physician notified and documented. If the physician did not respond, staff
should call back and if no response, the medical director is to be called. Depending on the status of the
resident, if the resident was in respiratory distress or vital signs too low or high, staff could use nursing
judgement for the resident's safety. For medication pass, it is documented on the eMAR and the narcotic
count book/log. If doing medication pass, both the eMAR and narcotic book should be reviewed before
administering the medication. When residents return from the hospital the discharge summary is reviewed
by the nurse who is accepting the resident. The nurse will then input the discharge summary into PCC.
They are checking the medications are input correctly into PCC. They are to verify the orders with the
attending doctor to ensure they agree for the resident's care. If a resident is given discontinued medication,
they did not follow the MD orders and the resident could be at risk. She noticed when the resident came
back from the hospital, the nurse wrote D/C Norco, but it was not discontinued. She did not review the
discharge hospital summary. She also read that the resident received extra Norco. Per the notes, the
resident was lethargic and not as responsive. She did know she had cardiac arrest and passed away. She
did not believe the extra Norco caused CR #1's death. She was unsure if the resident was to be on the
Norco but noticed that it was discontinued, and did not know why. She did read the resident asked to go to
the hospital previously to get Morphine.
Record review of the discontinued medications policy, states the nurse documents the order to discontinue
the medication in the resident's record. The Physician's order sheet (POS) and the medication
administration record (MAR) are updated to indicate that the order is discontinued. Alternatively, the
discontinuation order is entered into the facility's EHR system.
Record review of the general guidelines for medication administration policy, states always employ the MAR
during medication administration. Prior to the administration of any medication, the medication and dosage
schedule on the resident's MAR are compared with the medication label. The individual who administers
the medication dose records the administration on the resident's MAR directly after the medication is given.
At the end of each medication pass, the person administering the medications reviews the MAR to ensure
that necessary doses were administered and documented. In no case

medication error, she would notify the DON right away, go through the steps of what happened, do an
investigation, notify the MD, assess the resident for adverse reactions, and monitor them very closely for
any issues. She would monitor vital signs, alertness, cognition and compare to baseline. For hospital
discharge orders she would verify the medications from the hospital with the MD and enter the medication
in properly. She said if a medication was discontinued, she would discontinue medication from the system,
put in a progress note, and remove medication from the cart. She said she had to do a medication pass
with a staff member. She said the MD order would say how often you can administer the medication; she
would go in the computer to see when it was last administered and to see if it was too soon or not. She said
she also checked the narcotic book just in case it was not documented in the eMAR.
In an interview on [DATE] at 1:32 p.m. RN B said the 5 rights of medication pass were to ensure the right
person, route, dose, medication, and time. She said a medication pass was conducted. For change in
condition, she would document and notify the MD, get a timely response and follow up, send the resident
out to the hospital if necessary and report to MD and oncoming shift for follow up. She said she could also
reach out to the DON and Administrator and follow up with the Medical Director on what needs to get done.
If severe enough send out resident to 911. For hospital discharge orders she said she would reconcile the
medication and compare what is new and notify MD who does the final reconciliation. For a change in
condition she would assess for new pain, assess the vital signs, check alertness/change in cognition, notify
findings to MD and follow orders. She would always do a progress note and look for a change in condition
form. If there was a medication error, she would complete an incident report, document, and notify
superiors, MD, RP, assess the patient for changes, adverse effects, signs and symptoms to watch for, and
continue to monitor the resident. When administering prn narcotics, she would document the prn narcotic in
PCC and narcotic log because they do not serve the same purpose. She said PCC showed when the
medication was given last, and the narcotic log count sheet purpose was to obtain a proper count.
In an interview on [DATE] at 1:52 p.m. LVN F (6 a.m. - 6 p.m.) said she was trained on documenting in the
MAR and narcotic book when administering a prn medication so that you do not overdose but give the
proper dosage. If there was a change in condition, she would notify the MD and if they did not respond
within 2 hours she would go to the medical director, if emergent call 911, don't wait. She would document
the change in condition under assessments with option for change in condition. She would determine the
symptoms, if new or chronic, which body system did it pertain to, most recent vitals, and situation. She
would monitor the resident and implement intervention. If the intervention did not work, she would notify the
doctor again. For discharge hospital orders she said if a medication was not on the discharge list you could
not give it and could not just go back to what they had prior to the hospital. She said she would reconcile
the orders with the MD. She said the 5 rights of medication administration were - right patient, right dosage,
right form, route, and time. She said every medication should have the right time if not, question the doctor.
She said for a medication error she was trained to alert whoever was in charge, start monitoring for side
effects such as respiratory depression, and notify the MD. She said she would monitor the resident for at
least 24 hours depending on the drug.
In an interview on [DATE] at 2:13 p.m. MA J (2 p.m. - 10 p.m.) said the 5 rights of medication administration
were the right patient, medication, dose, time, and route. She said she was trained to follow MD orders. She
said if the resident asked for pain medication that was already given, she would notify the nurse that it was
already given. She said narcotic medication should be documented on the narcotic book and on the
computer.

In an interview on [DATE] at 7:46 p.m. LVN E said she had recent in services on medication administration,
5 rights of medication, identifying the patients, when to send residents out, and many others. When
administering medications, she would first look up the patient and go over the eMAR, verify the order is
correct, and current, then she would locate the medication and ensure the order is what she is supposed to
give. She would do hand hygiene, identify pt by photo and by confirming with pt. then she would verify
medication at bedside, check expiration date, look over eMAR, make sure it's the right medication, then
administer medication. She would document the medication on the eMAR. As soon as she realized she
gave the wrong medication, she would contact provider, get baseline set of vitals and monitor condition and
mental status and continue to monitor for any change in condition. She would contact 911 if change in
condition or if doctor orders her to send pt out.
In an interview on [DATE] at 7:55 p.m. LVN C said she had in services on medication administration, when

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**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 drugs and biologicals to meet
the needs of each resident for 1 of 5 residents (CR #1) reviewed for pharmacy services in that:.
The facility failed to ensure CR #1 did not receive Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen (Norco) after it was
discontinued after her hospital visit on [DATE] but was not discontinued in her chart. CR #1 received Norco
more frequently than the order that remained in her chart on [DATE]. She experienced lethargy, nausea,
vomiting, and decreased response to stimuli and expired at the hospital later that evening.
An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on [DATE] at 4:33 p.m. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed
on [DATE], the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and a severity level of no actual
harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to
evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
These failures could place the resident at risk for not receiving medications as ordered resulting in serious
injury, decline in health, and death.
Findings included:
Record review of CR #1's admission record dated [DATE] revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included hypotension (low blood pressure), muscle
weakness, type 2 diabetes, end stage renal disease, dependence on renal dialysis, other abnormalities of
gait and mobility, need for assistance with personal care, and chronic embolism and thrombosis of other
specified veins (conditions involving persistent blood clots that can obstruct blood flow).

Record review of CR #1's nursing note dated [DATE] at 8:18 p.m. written by LVN D read, Upon attempting
to administer patient scheduled medication, patient appears to have increased lethargy. O2 level obtained
at 90% on RA upon assessment. Patient sternal rubbed and minimally responsive to stimuli. EMS Service
contacted for acute care transport to ED. Pt assessed via 6 EMS transport to (hospital).

Observation and Interview on [DATE] at 8:15 a.m. revealed that one tablet of Senna 8.6 mg was
administered by MA G to Resident #59 and Folic Acid was not administered to Resident #59. MA G said
that the medication was not available and came from the pharmacy.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 10:38 a.m. the previous DON said the night nurse administered
Norco to CR #1 prior to leaving her shift and documented it in the narcotic book but did not document it in
the eMAR. She said the morning nurse arrived and the resident asked for pain medicine, and he
administered the same medication within 2 hours instead of 6 hours. She said the Norco was scheduled for
every 6 hours. She said the facility notified MD R and he said it was not a problem and ok to give the
medication sooner and to just keep an eye on her. She said she could not recall if CR #1 had an order for
the Norco. She said CR #1 was a little sleepy but was herself and they monitored her. She said CR #1 was
in and out of the hospital very frequently and did not remember if she went out to the hospital that day. She
said she in serviced LVN J who was an agency nurse and did not allow him to come back to the facility. She
said staff should document administered narcotics in both the eMAR and narcotic book because there
could be a risk of double dosing the resident.
In an interview on [DATE] at 10:53 a.m. CR #1's family member said the resident admitted to the facility for
rehabilitation. He said hospital staff informed him a few times that CR #1 was overmedicated with pain
medication. He said when he visited her at the facility, she was not all the way there, she was in and out,
more quiet, exhausted, and not there at all. He said she deteriorated at the facility and was never like that
before. He said on [DATE] he went to the facility to check on her and she was particularly out of it that day.
Her body was cold, she was responsive but was in and out. He said she vomited on herself around 11:30
a.m. - 12:30 p.m. He reported it and staff arrived but did not ask about the vomiting. He said she went to
sleep and later that evening around 10:45 p.m. the facility called another family member to inform her she
was at the local hospital and her oxygen was low, but blood pressure was fine. He said when he arrived at
the ER he was met with an empty room and a body bag on top of the gurney.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:16 a.m. LVN D said she did not remember a possible overdose
and did not remember sending CR #1 to the hospital.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:38 a.m. MD R said CR #1 went to the hospital on 3/22-23/24 due

he did not see the DC in the hospital records. He said the ED recommended to stop CR #1's Norco due to
weakness, not from overdosing. He said he was unsure if he was notified of the Norco overdose (on
[DATE]). He said the risk of a Norco overdose would depend on the patient and monitoring was important.
He said CR #1 had ESRD and should be monitored pretty closely.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 12:02 p.m. MD G said she did not recall the incident and was not
notified of anything regarding CR #1. She said if the Norco order was for every 6 hours she did not know
why it was administered in 2 hours. She said Norco could upset the stomach and lethargy could happen if
Norco was given too early.
In an interview on [DATE] at 12:15 p.m. the Regional Nurse said she was unsure of when the facility
stopped using nursing agencies. She said she was unsure of anything that happened to CR #1, only what
was in the chart. She said the expectation was for nurses to document when giving the medication to the
residents and they should follow the order as prescribed. If there was a change in condition the resident
should be assessed, and the physician notified and documented. If the physician did not respond, staff
should call back and if no response, the medical director is to be called. Depending on the status of the
resident, if the resident was in respiratory distress or vital signs too low or high, staff could use nursing
judgement for the resident's safety. For medication pass, it is documented on the eMAR and the narcotic
count book/log. If doing medication pass, both the eMAR and narcotic book should be reviewed before
administering the medication. When residents return from the hospital the discharge summary is reviewed
by the nurse who is accepting the resident. The nurse will then input the discharge summary into PCC.
They are checking the medications are input correctly into PCC. They are to verify the orders with the
attending doctor to ensure they agree for the resident's care. If a resident is given discontinued medication,
they did not follow the MD orders and the resident could be at risk. She noticed when the resident came
back from the hospital, the nurse wrote D/C Norco, but it was not discontinued. She did not review the
discharge hospital summary. She also read that the resident received extra Norco. Per the notes, the
resident was lethargic and not as responsive. She did know she had cardiac arrest and passed away. She
did not believe the extra Norco caused CR #1's death. She was unsure if the resident was to be on the
Norco but noticed that it was discontinued, and did not know why. She did read the resident asked to go to
the hospital previously to get Morphine.
Record review of the discontinued medications policy, states the nurse documents the order to discontinue
the medication in the resident's record. The Physician's order sheet (POS) and the medication
administration record (MAR) are updated to indicate that the order is discontinued. Alternatively, the
discontinuation order is entered into the facility's EHR system.
Record review of the general guidelines for medication administration policy, states always employ the MAR
during medication administration. Prior to the administration of any medication, the medication and dosage
schedule on the resident's MAR are compared with the medication label. The individual who administers
the medication dose records the administration on the resident's MAR directly after the medication is given.
At the end of each medication pass, the person administering the medications reviews the MAR to ensure
that necessary doses were administered and documented. In no case should the individual who
administered the medication report off-duty without first recording the administration of any medications.
Record review of Change in condition policy, states that once the nurse has notified the physician for a
change in condition the resident/patient will be monitored for 1 hour until the physician has responded. The
monitoring will include vital signs, pulse ox, and finger stick blood sugar if

hospital discharge orders she would verify the medications from the hospital with the MD and enter the
medication in properly. She said if a medication was discontinued, she would discontinue medication from
the system, put in a progress note, and remove medication from the cart. She said she had to do a
medication pass with a staff member. She said the MD order would say how often you can administer the
medication; she would go in the computer to see when it was last administered and to see if it was too soon
or not. She said she also checked the narcotic book just in case it was not documented in the eMAR.
In an interview on [DATE] at 1:32 p.m. RN B said the 5 rights of medication pass were to ensure the right
person, route, dose, medication, and time. She said a medication pass was conducted. For change in
condition, she would document and notify the MD, get a timely response and follow up, send the resident
out to the hospital if necessary and report to MD and oncoming shift for follow up. She said she could also
reach out to the DON and Administrator and follow up with the Medical Director on what needs to get done.
If severe enough send out resident to 911. For hospital discharge orders she said she would reconcile the
medication and compare what is new and notify MD who does the final reconciliation. For a change in
condition she would assess for new pain, assess the vital signs, check alertness/change in cognition, notify
findings to MD and follow orders. She would always do a progress note and look for a change in condition
form. If there was a medication error, she would complete an incident report, document, and notify
superiors, MD, RP, assess the patient for changes, adverse effects, signs and symptoms to watch for, and
continue to monitor the resident. When administering prn narcotics, she would document the prn narcotic in
PCC and narcotic log because they do not serve the same purpose. She said PCC showed when the
medication was given last, and the narcotic log count sheet purpose was to obtain a proper count.
In an interview on [DATE] at 1:52 p.m. LVN F (6 a.m. - 6 p.m.) said she was trained on documenting in the
MAR and narcotic book when administering a prn medication so that you do not overdose but give the
proper dosage. If there was a change in condition, she would notify the MD and if they did not respond
within 2 hours she would go to the medical director, if emergent call 911, don't wait. She would document
the change in condition under assessments with option for change in condition. She would determine the
symptoms, if new or chronic, which body system did it pertain to, most recent vitals, and situation. She
would monitor the resident and implement intervention. If the intervention did not work, she would notify the
doctor again. For discharge hospital orders she said if a medication was not on the discharge list you could
not give it and could not just go back to what they had prior to the hospital. She said she would reconcile
the orders with the MD. She said the 5 rights of medication administration were - right patient, right dosage,
right form, route, and time. She said every medication should have the right time if not, question the doctor.
She said for a medication error she was trained to alert whoever was in charge, start monitoring for side
effects such as respiratory depression, and notify the MD. She said she would monitor the resident for at
least 24 hours depending on the drug.
In an interview on [DATE] at 2:13 p.m. MA J (2 p.m. - 10 p.m.) said the 5 rights of medication administration
were the right patient, medication, dose, time, and route. She said she was trained to follow MD orders. She
said if the resident asked for pain medication that was already given, she would notify the nurse that it was
already given. She said narcotic medication should be documented on the narcotic book and on the
computer.

In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 10:38 a.m. the previous DON said the night nurse administered
Norco to CR #1 prior to leaving her shift and documented it in the narcotic book but did not document it in
the eMAR. She said the morning nurse arrived and the resident asked for pain medicine, and he
administered the same medication within 2 hours instead of 6 hours. She said the Norco was scheduled for
every 6 hours. She said the facility notified MD R and he said it was not a problem and ok to give the
medication sooner and to just keep an eye on her. She said she could not recall if CR #1 had an order for
the Norco. She said CR #1 was a little sleepy but was herself and they monitored her. She said CR #1 was
in and out of the hospital very frequently and did not remember if she went out to the hospital that day. She
said she in serviced LVN J who was an agency nurse and did not allow him to come back to the facility. She
said staff should document administered narcotics in both the eMAR and narcotic book because there
could be a risk of double dosing the resident.
In an interview on [DATE] at 10:53 a.m. CR #1's family member said the resident admitted to the facility for
rehabilitation. He said hospital staff informed him a few times that CR #1 was overmedicated with pain
medication. He said when he visited her at the facility, she was not all the way there, she was in and out,
more quiet, exhausted, and not there at all. He said she deteriorated at the facility and was never like that
before. He said on [DATE] he went to the facility to check on her and she was particularly out of it that day.
Her body was cold, she was responsive but was in and out. He said she vomited on herself around 11:30
a.m. - 12:30 p.m. He reported it and staff arrived but did not ask about the vomiting. He said she went to
sleep and later that evening around 10:45 p.m. the facility called another family member to inform her she
was at the local hospital and her oxygen was low, but blood pressure was fine. He said when he arrived at
the ER he was met with an empty room and a body bag on top of the gurney.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:16 a.m. LVN D said she did not remember a possible overdose
and did not remember sending CR #1 to the hospital.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:38 a.m. MD R said CR #1 went to the hospital on 3/22-23/24 due
to generalized weakness. He said if the Norco was supposed to be stopped the facility should reconcile with
the MD and it should be stopped but said he was not sure if it was discontinued because he did not see the
DC in the hospital records. He said the ED recommended to stop CR #1's Norco due to weakness, not from
overdosing. He said he was unsure if he was notified of the Norco overdose (on [DATE]). He said the risk of
a Norco overdose would depend on the patient and monitoring was important. He said CR #1 had ESRD
and should be monitored pretty closely.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 12:02 p.m. MD G said she did not recall the incident and was

not notified of anything regarding CR #1. She said if the Norco order was for every 6 hours she did not
know why it was administered in 2 hours. She said Norco could upset the stomach and lethargy could
happen if Norco was given too early.
In an interview on [DATE] at 12:15 p.m. the Regional Nurse said she was unsure of when the facility
stopped using nursing agencies. She said she was unsure of anything that happened to CR #1, only what
was in the chart. She said the expectation was for nurses to document when giving the medication to the
residents and they should follow the order as prescribed. If there was a change in condition the resident
should be assessed, and the physician notified and documented. If the physician did not respond, staff
should call back and if no response, the medical director is to be called. Depending on the status of the
resident, if the resident was in respiratory distress or vital signs too low or high, staff could use nursing
judgement for the resident's safety. For medication pass, it is documented on the eMAR and the narcotic
count book/log. If doing medication pass, both the eMAR and narcotic book should be reviewed before
administering the medication. When residents return from the hospital the discharge summary is reviewed
by the nurse who is accepting the resident. The nurse will then input the discharge summary into PCC.
They are checking the medications are input correctly into PCC. They are to verify the orders with the
attending doctor to ensure they agree for the resident's care. If a resident is given discontinued medication,
they did not follow the MD orders and the resident could be at risk. She noticed when the resident came
back from the hospital, the nurse wrote D/C Norco, but it was not discontinued. She did not review the
discharge hospital summary. She also read that the resident received extra Norco. Per the notes, the
resident was lethargic and not as responsive. She did know she had cardiac arrest and passed away. She
did not believe the extra Norco caused CR #1's death. She was unsure if the resident was to be on the
Norco but noticed that it was discontinued, and did not know why. She did read the resident asked to go to
the hospital previously to get Morphine.
Record review of the discontinued medications policy, states the nurse documents the order to discontinue
the medication in the resident's record. The Physician's order sheet (POS) and the medication
administration record (MAR) are updated to indicate that the order is discontinued. Alternatively, the
discontinuation order is entered into the facility's EHR system.
Record review of the general guidelines for medication administration policy, states always employ the MAR
during medication administration. Prior to the administration of any medication, the medication and dosage
schedule on the resident's MAR are compared with the medication label. The individual who administers
the medication dose records the administration on the resident's MAR directly after the medication is given.
At the end of each medication pass, the person administering the medications reviews the MAR to ensure
that necessary doses were administered and documented. In no case should the individual who
administered the medication report off-duty without first recording the administration of any medications.
Record review of Change in condition policy, states that once the nurse has notified the physician for a
change in condition the resident/patient will be monitored for 1 hour until the physician has responded. The
monitoring will include vital signs, pulse ox, and finger stick blood sugar if diabetic (one time only). A
physical assessment should be completed relative to the symptoms present and a pain assessment. If
resident/patient condition appears emergent transfer to local ER may occur without physician order.
On [DATE] at 4:33 p.m. the regional nurse and administrator were informed that an Immediate Jeopardy
situation was identified due to the above failures and a Plan of Removal was requested.

change in condition, she would document and notify the MD, get a timely response and follow up, send the
resident out to the hospital if necessary and report to MD and oncoming shift for follow up. She said she
could also reach out to the DON and Administrator and follow up with the Medical Director on what needs
to get done. If severe enough send out resident to 911. For hospital discharge orders she said she would
reconcile the medication and compare what is new and notify MD who does the final reconciliation. For a
change in condition she would assess for new pain, assess the vital signs, check alertness/change in
cognition, notify findings to MD and follow orders. She would always do a progress note and look for a
change in condition form. If there was a medication error, she would complete an incident report, document,
and notify superiors, MD, RP, assess the patient for changes, adverse effects, signs and symptoms to
watch for, and continue to monitor the resident. When administering prn narcotics, she would document the
prn narcotic in PCC and narcotic log because they do not serve the same purpose. She said PCC showed
when the medication was given last, and the narcotic log count sheet purpose was to obtain a proper
count.
In an interview on [DATE] at 1:52 p.m. LVN F (6 a.m. - 6 p.m.) said she was trained on documenting in the
MAR and narcotic book when administering a prn medication so that you do not overdose but give the
proper dosage. If there was a change in condition, she would notify the MD and if they did not respond
within 2 hours she would go to the medical director, if emergent call 911, don't wait. She would document
the change in condition under assessments with option for change in condition. She would determine the
symptoms, if new or chronic, which body system did it pertain to, most recent vitals, and situation. She
would monitor the resident and implement intervention. If the intervention did not work, she would notify the
doctor again. For discharge hospital orders she said if a medication was not on the discharge list you could
not give it and could not just go back to what they had prior to the hospital. She said she would reconcile
the orders with the MD. She said the 5 rights of medication administration were - right patient, right dosage,
right form, route, and time. She said every medication should have the right time if not, question the doctor.
She said for a medication error she was trained to alert whoever was in charge, start monitoring for side
effects such as respiratory depression, and notify the MD. She said she would monitor the resident for at
least 24 hours depending on the drug.
In an interview on [DATE] at 2:13 p.m. MA J (2 p.m. - 10 p.m.) said the 5 rights of medication administration
were the right patient, medication, dose, time, and route. She said she was trained to follow MD orders. She
said if the resident asked for pain medication that was already given, she would notify the nurse that it was
already given. She said narcotic medication should be documented on the narcotic book and on the
computer.
In an interview on [DATE] at 7:46 p.m. LVN E said she had recent in services on medication administration,
5 rights of medication, identifying the patients, when to send residents out, and many others. When
administering medications, she would first look up the patient and go over the eMAR, verify the order is
correct, and current, then she would locate the medication and ensure the order is what she is supposed to
give. She would do hand hygiene, identify pt by photo and by confirming with pt. then she would verify
medication at bedside, check expiration date, look over eMAR, make sure it's the right medication, then
administer medication. She would document the medication on the eMAR. As soon as she realized she
gave the wrong medication, she would contact provider, get baseline set of vitals and monitor condition and
mental status and continue to monitor for any change in condition. She would contact 911 if change in
condition or if doctor orders her to send pt out.
