Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
In a record review and interview on 10/28/21 at 10:00 AM with the MDS Coordinator after she reviewed
Resident # 86's completed PASRR Level 1 Screening and diagnoses, she said Resident #86's PASRR was
coded incorrectly. She said Resident #86 had a diagnosis of mental disorder and Resident #86 was not
coded correctly for it. The MDS Coordinator stated the hospital completed the PL1, but the Social Worker
was responsible for reviewing the PASRR's and making corrections when needed. She said they should
have caught the error during the quarterly care plan review because the resident had to be assessed for
services that would help with her level of functioning.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 10/28/21 at 10:15 AM the Social Worker said Resident # 86's PASRR was coded incorrectly,
she said the MDS coordinator was responsible for confirming information on the PASRR. The Social Worker
said they had to send a referral to [NAME] County whenever they get a positive PASRR so they can do an
assessment at the facility. She said she was not sure why no one caught the incorrect PASRR code for
Resident #86, but it should have been corrected when she was admitted because of the services she might
have been entitled to and could have helped with her level of functioning if needed.
In an interview on 10/28/21 at 10:33 AM the DON said when residents are admitted to the facility they had
to meet their needs and get the PL1 from the facility where they had been discharged from. The DON said
the MDS Coordinator was responsible for following up on PASRR screenings. She said she was not sure
why there was a gap in services, but she was going to make sure they addressed it going forward. The
DON said the risk of not having a PASRR screening coded correctly is that the resident would not receive
services to help with their level of functioning.
Interview on 10/28/21 at 10:42 AM the Administrator said they are working on a process for identifying
residents who need PASRR services.
Record review and interview on 10/28/21 10:52 AM the Social Worker said there was no facility policy for
PASRR Screening the facility uses the State Guideline. The pathway read in part; Use this pathway for a
resident who has or may have a serious Mental Disorder (MD), Intellectual Disability (ID) or a Related
Condition to determine if facility practices are in place to identify residents with one of these conditions and
to determine if Level 1 PASRR screening has been conducted and referrals have been made to the
appropriate state- designated authority for Level II PASRR evaluation and determination .

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 residents were free of significant
medications errors for one of four residents (Resident #26) reviewed for medications, in that;
Residents Affected - Few
Med Aide B crushed and administered Resident #26's Potassium Chloride ER 10 mEq medication without
MD order to crush the tablet.

readmission on [DATE]. She was [AGE] years old. Her diagnoses included in part; cerebral infarction
(decreased blood flow to brain), chronic atrial fibrillation (irregular, rapid heart rate), heart failure (heart
unable to pump blood well), and presence of cardiac pacemaker (small device implanted in chest to help
control heartbeat), Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing foods or liquids).
Record review of Resident #26's admission MDS assessment, dated 10/13/21 revealed Resident #26
required 1-2-person assistance with her activities of daily living, which included: bathing/showering,
dressing, grooming, personal hygiene, toileting, medication administration and mobility.

Crushed Potassium Chloride Extended Release 10 mEq tablet, poured the contents into a 30-cc cup,
added vanilla pudding, stirred and administered the medication to Resident # 26. Med Aide B stated There
are MD orders to crush all medications for Resident #26 except her gel capsules. Med Aide B further said
that she needed to crush Resident #26's Potassium Chloride Extended Release tablet because Resident
#26 was not able to swallow the medication whole.
In an interview on 10/27/21 at 1:09 PM the DON said she was not aware that Resident #26's Potassium
Chloride Extended Release 10 meq tablet was being crushed. She said Potassium Chloride Extended
Release should never be crushed because the risk was it could cause decreased or increased effects of
the Potassium medication that could also affect the cardiac (heart) function. The DON said we must obtain
a different formulation order if Resident #26 was unable to swallow the whole pill. She said had to do some
re-education about the Do Not Crush Medication list with the nurses.
