Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that residents are free of any
significant medication errors for 1 (Resident #1) of 6 residents reviewed for pharmacy services.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure staff ordered and administered Resident #1's antibiotic medication when he
returned from the hospital on [DATE] after being diagnosed with sepsis (a life-threatening condition that
occurs when the body's response to an infection damages its own tissues and organs) from a prostate
infection. Resident #1 was sent back to the hospital by EMS on 03/22/25 due to no improvement in his
condition. Resident #1 was readmitted to the hospital and diagnosed with Severe Sepsis.
An IJ was identified on 05/02/25. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 6:15 p.m. While
the IJ was removed on 05/03/25, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and a
severity of potential for more than minimal harm because of the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness
of the corrective systems.
These failures could place residents at risk of further decline, infection, dehydration, and hospitalization.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #1's admission Record, dated 05/02/25, reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged to the hospital on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses
including mild cognitive impairment, generalized muscle weakness, hemorrhage (loss of blood from blood
vessels) of anus and rectum, type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications, and acute respiratory failure
with hypoxia (a serious condition where the lungs are unable to deliver enough oxygen to the blood).
Review of Resident #1's admission and Modified MDS, dated [DATE], reflected he had a BIMS score of 10,
which indicated he had moderate cognitive impairment. Resident #1's MDS assessments did not indicate
that he had any infections and taking any high risk antibiotics during the last seven days or since
admission/entry. Resident #1 required partial/moderate assistance with toileting. Resident #1 was always
incontinent with urinary and bowel movements.
Review of Resident #1's Care Plan, initiated 01/22/25, reflected he required 2-person assistance with all
care and ADLs. Resident #1 had an ADL self-care performance deficit and required CNAs to assist him
with using the toilet. Resident #1 also had bladder incontinence and required CNAs to provide incontinent
care at least every two hours and report to the charge nurse any foul smelling urine or if the urine was any
color other than yellow.

believed the unknown facility staff told her that one of the pages to Resident #1's hospital discharge orders,
which illustrated his medication changes, was missing. The surveyor showed to the MD Resident #1's
hospital discharge orders provided to the facility from EMS on 03/18/25. The MD stated the unknown facility
staff notified her on 03/22/25 that they found the missing page and that Resident #1 was supposed to be
started on a few medications when he returned from the hospital. The MD stated she believed one of
Resident #1's medications that was supposed to be started on 03/18/25 was an antibiotic. The MD stated
the unknown facility staff notified her on an unknown date that Resident #1's Ciprofloxacin medication was
not started on 03/18/25 and could not recall the reason she was provided as to why the medication was not
started. The MD stated FAM could not decide what treatment she wanted Resident #1 to have and decided
to send him to the hospital on [DATE]. The MD stated the unknown facility staff notified her on an unknown
date that that Resident #1 was placed on hospice services and sent home from the hospital on an unknown
date.
During an interview on 05/05/25 at 10:02 a.m., FAM stated a Hospitalist called the unknown facility staff on
an unknown date and was told by the facility staff that Resident #1 received his antibiotic medication.
During an interview on 05/06/25 at 11:33 a.m., LVN E stated charge nurses were responsible for obtaining
and reviewing residents' hospital discharge orders and updating residents' orders when residents readmit
to the facility. LVN E stated she would review the residents' hospital discharge orders, put in the orders into
the residents' order summary report, which would directly go to the facility's pharmacy, and notify the MD
within 24 hours of any medication changes. LVN E stated the DON oversaw to ensure charge nurses
reviewed residents' hospital discharge orders and updated residents' orders in their EHR upon residents'
readmission to the facility daily. LVN E stated she knew the importance of reviewing residents' hospital
discharge orders, updating readmitted residents' orders, and said, We have to maintain resident's
continuation of care from the hospital. Very important. LVN E stated she was in-serviced on
admission/readmission process a few months ago by the former DON. LVN E stated she learned the
hospital orders must be reviewed, updated in residents' EHR, and completed upon residents' readmission
to the facility from the hospital. LVN E stated she did not readmit Resident #1 to the facility on [DATE]. LVN
E stated she knew the importance of antibiotic medication, residents receiving their antibiotic medication,
and said, To get rid of infection. Residents could get worse if they did not receive their antibiotic medication.
LVN E stated she could not recall administering Resident #1's Ciprofloxacin medication to his because she
did not believe she was assigned to his hallway. LVN E stated she was not notified that Resident #1 did not
receive his Ciprofloxacin medication before the surveyor visited the facility on 05/02/25.
Review of the facility's in-services, from 03/01/25 through 05/02/25 , reflected no in-services related to
admission/readmission process and medication orders process.
Review of the facility's Medication Orders policy, dated 2003, reflected,

B. The following steps are initiated to complete documentation:
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
-Clarify the order
Residents Affected - Some
-Call (or fax) the medication order to the provider pharmacy
-Enter the orders on the medication order and receipt record
-Transcribe newly prescribed medications on the MAR or treatment record. When a new order changes the
dosage of a previously prescribed medication, discontinue previous entry by writing A DISCONTINUED on
the MAR. Enter the new order on the MAR as a separate entry with arrows drawn to the start date.
3. Specific Procedures for the four types of medication orders
A. NEW HANDWRITTEN ORDERS signed by the prescriber. The charge nurse on duty at the time the
order is received, notes the order and enters it on the physician order sheet if not written there by the
prescriber. If necessary, the order is clarified before the prescriber leaves the nursing station whenever
possible.
C. WRITTEN TRANSFER ORDERS (SENT WITH A RESIDENT BY A HOSPITAL OR OTHER HEALTH
CARE FACILITY). Implement a transfer order without further validation if it is signed and dated by the
resident's current attending physician, unless
the order is unclear or incomplete or the date signed is different from the date of admission.
If the order is unsigned or signed by another prescriber or the date is other than the date of admission, the
receiving nurse verifies the order with the current attending physician before medications are administered.
The nurse documents verification on the admission order record by entering the time, date, and signature.
Example: A Order verified by phone with Dr. [NAME]/M. [NAME], R.N.
Review of the facility's Admission/readmission policy, dated 2003, reflected,
readmission to a facility occurs after a hospitalization or therapeutic leave. readmission involves a review of
the initial admission data with reinforcement where needed and an update of information regarding health
status.
Procedure:
2. Review the medical diagnoses and physician orders. admission orders should include as applicable:
.orders for medications (prn orders will state specific use), orders for treatments, code status, and other
orders as specified by the physician.
3. Inquire about any immediate needs and facilitate handling of those needs.
