F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure a resident has a right to personal privacy and confidentiality of his or her personal and medical records for 2 of 3 computers (LVN T and LVN C). Residents Affected - Few The facility's computers were left open and unattended at the nurse's station with residents' personal medical information was visible to anyone who passed by on, 05/29/2025 while the user of the computer was on the hallway. The failure could place residents at risk of having their private information changed, viewed and not kept secure. Findings include: Observation on 05/29/2025 at 2:51pm reflected that LVN T and LVN C left the computers unlocked/opened and unsupervised, vaguely visible in an open area for resident and other individuals/guest of the facility passing by the nurse's station from inside of the nurses station and outside of the nurses station. Interview on 05/29/2025 at 2:52pm LVN T stated she briefly walked away from the computer and forgot to lock the computer before leaving the nurses station, because she was not going to be gone too long. LVN T stated she was only going to be gone for a second and the computers did not have privacy screens, where residents information could visibly be seen on the screen with the view of PCC (Electronic Medical Record). LVN T stated that it was important to lock the computer before leaving any working area due to HIPAA violation and resident information. The risk of the patient information being visible to others could possibly be used improperly if it was exposed and not secured. LVN T did lock the computer before leaving the nurse's station after the brief interview. Interview on, 05/29/2025 at 3:03pm LVN C stated they did use the computer at the nurses station and would use it off and on throughout that day. LVN C stated they had been logging out before walking away from the computer. LVN C stated CNAs would use the computers at the nurses station, because everyone did have their own individual log in. LVN C did state they were with a resident at the time of the computers being discovered unlocked. LVN C stated it was important to lock the computers to maintain the resident's information, HIPAA, as anyone could view what was visible on the screen. LVN C did state there was a risk of the resident's rights and privacy to be visible to anyone who could be passing by, and it was the facility's staff responsibility when opening the chart to always maintain safety and logging out of the resident's medical records and locking the computer. Interview on, 05/29/2025 at 3:39pm the DON, stated if residents' information was exposed and the (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

She said chewable Aspirin was fast acting and delayed release worked over a period of time. 2. Record review of Resident #30's face sheet, dated 5/29/25, revealed an [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included cerebral infarction (stroke), schizophrenia (a serious mental health condition that affects how people think, feel and behave), delusional disorders (an unshakable belief in something that's untrue), type 2 diabetes, and hemiplegia (a symptom that involves one-sided paralysis) and hemiparesis (one-sided muscle weakness).

Record review of Resident #39's Physician's orders for May 2025 revealed orders for Cholecalciferol tablet 1000 Units give 2 tablets by mouth one time a day for Vitamin D deficiency, order date 5/1/25, Divalproex Sodium Delayed Release 125 mg give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for mood disorder, order date 5/22/25. There was no order for Divalproex 250 mg. Record review of Resident #39's Order Audit Report dated 5/29/25 revealed Divalproex 250 mg (Depakote) was discontinued on 5/22/25. In an observation on 5/29/25 at 8:26 a.m. revealed MA C prepared 10 pills for Resident #30 which included Divalproex 250 mg - 1 tablet, Vitamin D 1000 IU - 1 tablet, Divalproex 125 mg - 1 tablet, Gabapentin 300 mg - 1 tablet, Metoprolol 25 mg - 1 tablet, Nuedexta - 1 tablet, Sertraline 100 mg - (2) 50 mg tablets, Sertraline 50 mg - 1 tablet, Zetia 10 mg - 1 tablet, and eye drops. She entered the room and administered the medications to Resident #30. MA C returned to the medication cart and completed documentation of the administration. After documentation was complete, observation of the eMAR for Resident #30 revealed Divalproex 250 mg was not listed and the order for Vitamin D 1000 IU indicated two tablets. In an interview on 5/29/25 at 8:49 a.m. MA C said she administered 1 Vitamin D 1000 IU tablet to Resident #30 instead of 2 because she did not read the directions and it was an oversight. She said she administered both Depakote tablets (250 mg and 125 mg) and did not see the 250 mg on the MAR. She said the medication package would not normally be on the cart if it was discontinued. She said when preparing medication, she normally went through each pill and reviewed the date, time, and medication but this time she just handed the Surveyor the medication (to observe). She said Resident #30 was on Depakote for mood disorder. In an interview on 5/29/25 at 1:00 p.m. the MD said Resident #30 had a dose change for Depakote due to a gradual dose reduction and was informed by the facility that she received both doses. She said a one-time extra dose should not have any adverse effect, but the facility would check her Depakote level. She said Depakote could cause increased sedation. She said the facility would educate staff to match the MAR to the medication. In an interview on 5/29/25 at 3:51 p.m. the DON said she expected nursing staff to always follow the six rights (medication, patient, dose, time, diagnosis, and route) of medication administration and compare the MAR to the medication being given. She said the facility completed a medication error, and a CBC (a blood test that measures amounts and sizes of your red blood cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells and platelets) and Depakote level would be obtained on Resident #30.

She said nursing staff do medication skills checks annually, random, and as needed. In an interview on 5/30/25 at 4:21 p.m. the Administrator said she expected nursing staff to compare the medication packet to the MAR to ensure it matches the MAR. Residents Affected - Few Record review of www.bayeraspirin.com accessed on 6/9/25 revealed in part, What does safety coating or enteric coating mean? Enteric coating is a delayed-release safety coating that provides added stomach protection. It is designed to allow the aspirin tablet or caplet to pass through the stomach to the small intestine (duodenum) before dissolving. This delayed release coating means that it will take longer for the aspirin to be absorbed. For this reason, products with enteric coating are not recommended for quick pain relief or use during a suspected heart attack. Enteric coated aspirin is most often used by patients who are on an aspirin regimen under their doctor's supervision or recommendation . Record review of the facility's undated Administering Medications policy read in part, .Medications shall be administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed . 3. Medications must be administered in accordance with the orders . 7. The individual administering the medication shall follow the three rights of medication administration: right resident; right dose; right time .
