The facility failed to ensure LVN A did not sedate Resident #1 with a medication not prescribed for her. This failure could place the residents at risk of injury or death.

Record review of Resident #1's annual MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 8, which indicated she had moderate cognitive impairment. Her Functional Status indicated she required assistance with all of her ADLs. Record review of Resident #1's care plan revealed she was resistive to care, demonstrated physical behaviors of anger by hitting staff, and pulling the fire alarm, she was at risk for falls with a history of falls, and was on psychotropic medications to help with her behaviors.

Resident #1 was yelling at staff, going up and down the hallway yelling at residents, and causing quite a disturbance. The family member asked LVN A if she was given her sedating medication, and LVN A stated she was given it, but it was not working. The family member asked if there was anything else that could be done and LVN A stated there was. LVN A returned to the room with a syringe of liquid, asked if the resident had anything to drink because the medicine did not taste good. LVN A squirted the medication into Resident #1's mouth and gave her water to drink. The family member stated she thought LVN A had brought the resident's gel medication at first, but when he squirted it in the resident's mouth she knew something was not right.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment remained as free of accident hazards as possible for 8 of 10 sharp containers reviewed for accidents and hazards. Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to ensure staff changed sharps containers prior to them becoming overfilled and becoming a hazard. This failure could place residents at risk of injury or exposure to needles contaminated with unknown biological agents. Findings included: Observation on 10/14/23 from 5:30 AM to 6:00 AM of rooms on 200, 300, and 500 Halls revealed sharps containers located inside resident rooms 211, 212, 213, 305,310, 502, 506, and 507 were over filled to the point the safety lid would not operate. Interview on 10/14/23 at 6:45 AM with LVN B revealed all nursing staff were responsible for changing out sharps containers before they were overfilled. LVN B stated overfilled sharps containers posed a risk to anyone trying to introduce another sharps into the container.

Over filled containers could cause anyone trying to place another sharps in them to be poked with a dirty needle and being contaminated with unknown biological agents. The DON stated the facility did not have a policy that addressed sharps containers directly.
