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
observation, interviews, and record review the facility failed to accurately and safely provide or obtain
pharmaceutical services, including the provision of routine and emergency medications and biologicals for
1 of 1 resident (Resident #1) reviewed for pharmacy services and procedures in that:
The facility failed to ensure medication administered to a resident #1 was properly administered and not left
in the room.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving their physician ordered medications resulting in a
decreased quality of life.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 06/27/24 revealed an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with a diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease-unspecified (brain disorder that causes problems with
memory, thinking, and behavior), Parkinson's disease (disorder that affects the nervous system and causes
movement problems), unspecified psychosis (condition of the mind that results in difficulties determining
what is real and what is not) not due to a substance or know physiological condition, other schizophrenia (a
mental disorder characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thoughts, speech and behavior),
COPD (chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructive airflow to lungs), and primary
hypertension (high blood pressure).
Review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed BIMS section C0100: should
resident interview be conducted was marked No. (resident is rarely/ never understood) Section I of the MDS
assessment for active diagnosis was checked for psychotic disorder (other than schizophrenia) and
Schizophrenia.
Review of Resident #1's care plan last revised 03/28/2024 revealed I will have no injury related to
medication usage/side effects with interventions: I need my medications as ordered. I want my pharmacy
consultant to review my medications monthly. Refer me to psych services as needed.
Review of Resident #1's physician orders revealed an order start date of 02/21/23 for Depakote ER 250 MG
tablet, give 3 tablets = 750 MG PO at HS. Indication of use was for schizoaffective disorder.
An observation and interview on 06/25/24 at 10:28 AM in Resident #1's room, a white pill was observed on
the floor next to his dresser. An attempt was made to interview Resident #1, but he was not able to
communicate clearly (refer to BIMS section of quarterly MDS assessment review). The pill was taken to the
DON and in an interview with the DON he identified the medication as Depakote. The DON stated he was
not sure how the medication ended up on the floor. The DON said it would have been the night MA who
would have administered that medication to Resident #1. The DON said it was his expectation that when
administering medication that staff wait and check to ensure oral medication was swallowed by the
resident. The DON said a potential negative outcome to leaving medication unattended would be another
resident could pick it up.
An interview on 06/27/24 at 01:05 PM with MA D he stated that he was the aide that administered the
medication to Resident #1 on the night shift and remembers administering the Depakote to Resident

#1 on the night of 06/24/24. MA D stated he waits and makes sure each resident takes their medications
before he walks away to ensure they do not choke. MA D said medication should never be left

reaction to it. MA D said he was not certain how the medication was left behind and denied leaving it.

medication in a safe manner.
