she had not received any reports of Resident #41 refusing showers in the past month she had been
working in the facility. LVN G stated she had been trained to report to DON if there was a pattern of shower
refusals on any residents. LVN G stated if this was a pattern for Resident #41 would be something that
should be addressed in his care plan for proper monitoring and set goals addressing his history of refusing
showers. LVN G opened Resident #41 care plan on PCC and stated there was nothing addressing
Resident #41's refusal in care. LVN G stated all nurses had access to updating care plans.
Interview on 03/15/23 at 3:38 PM, the DON stated CNAs had been trained upon hire regarding shower
refusals, they were expected to report to their charge nurse and document on residents POC. The DON
stated nurses were trained upon hire to follow up on residents who CNAs reported refused showers to offer
different options and to see why they did not want to shower. The DON stated if there was a pattern of at
least 3 showers refused consecutively the charge nurse was trained and required to report to nursing
administration for further assistance. The DON stated she had not received reports regarding Resident #41
refusing so many showers. The DON stated Resident #41's pattern in refusing showers was something that
would need to be care planned to address and monitor his ADLs. The DON did not have reason for refusal
in care not being included in Resident #41 care plan.
Record review of Care Plan policy dated 2/8/21 revealed It is the policy of the facility to promote seamless
interdisciplinary care for our residents by utilizing the interdisciplinary plan of care based on assessment,
planning, treatment, service, and intervention. It is utilized to plan and manage resident care as evidenced
by documentation from admission through discharge for each resident. The care plan will contain
information about the physical, emotional/psychological, psychosocial, spiritual, educational, and
environmental needs as appropriate. It is our purpose to ensure that each resident is provided with
individualized, goal directed care, which is reasonable, measurable, and based on residents' needs. The
care plans will be modified when needed to meet the residents' current needs, problems, and goals. Any
revision, additions, or deletion to the care plan will be dated.

#51 without checking for residuals or tube feeding placement. LVN D was checking residuals, by seeing
how much of the tube feeding is in the stomach.
In an interview with LVN D on 03/15/23 at 8:58 AM, she revealed she was nervous, and had forgotten to
check for residuals and tube placement prior to medication administration. She said she had been trained
to check for residuals and tube placement before administering medications through the feeding tube. She
said she had been trained during orientation about tube feeding medication administration. LVN D said the
risk of not checking for residuals or placement before administering medications could place the resident at
risk of aspiration or the tube could be dislodged and not in the stomach.
In an interview with ADON #1 on 03/15/23 at 3:56 PM, she revealed since she had been hired in November
2022, there had not been training on tube feeding administration. She said the nurses had to check for
placement of the feeding tube and check for residuals before giving any medication. ADON #1 also stated if
the placement of the tube was not checked and the tube was not in the correct place, it could cause harm
to the resident.
In an interview with DON on 03/15/23 at 4:19 PM, she revealed it was Nursing 101 to check for residuals
and tube placement before administering medications to residents with a feeding tube. DON said she had
started an in-service on 03/15/23 and could not remember the last training to nurses on tube feeding
medication administration. The process for administering medications through a feeding tube was to always
check for placement and residuals. The risk of not doing so was the feeding tube could be out of place.
Record review on 03/13/23 at 11:21 AM, revealed narcotic count sheet for 200 Northside Hall was missing

Record review on 03/13/23 at 3:22 PM, revealed narcotic count sheet for 200 Southside Hall had nurse
signature for On-shift and Off-shift.
In an interview on 03/13/23 at 4:50 PM with LVN E, she revealed she was new to the facility and had only
been working for 3 weeks. She said she would sign the On-shift section when she did narcotic count at the
beginning of her shift with the nurse that was leaving for the day. LVN E said that she would then sign
Off-shift at the end of her shift when she did narcotic count with the nurse that was coming in for night shift.
She stated that on 3/13/23 she had signed both the On-shift and Off-shift spots on the narcotic sheet prior
to counting narcotics at the change of shift. LVN E stated she was trained to count narcotics at the change
of shift with the on-coming nurse and at the end of the shift with off-going nurse.
In an interview 3/13/23 at 4:58 PM with ADON #2, revealed she was notified by charge nurse of blanks in
documentation on the narcotic sheet on March 9th the 6PM shift going and exiting, March 12th on the 6 AM

significant medication errors for 1 resident (Resident #51) of 4 reviewed for medication administration in
that:
Residents Affected - Few

of 02/15/23.

PEG-Tube two times a day for tremors. Hold medication if blood pressure less 110/60 and pulse less 55.
Review of Resident #51's MAR for March 2023 revealed medication was administered 9 times without
checking the blood pressure and pulse prior to medication administration according to physician's orders.
Review of Resident #51's vital signs for March 2023 revealed for the 9 times he received the medication; his

order had blood pressure parameters. She said she did not check his blood pressure before giving the
medication and said he usually ran low. She said his latest blood pressure from the morning was 105/62. At
this time, she looked at the order for Propranolol that read Hold if BP is <110/60. She said she should
have not given him the medication because his blood pressure was low and less than the parameter. She
said the risk for that would be to drop his blood pressure even more. She said she had been trained on
medication administration during on-hire training.
In an interview on 03/15/23 at 10:40 AM with NP, revealed the Propranolol was a beta-blocker type of

blood pressure reading before administering medication. He stated the risks of not doing so could be the
blood pressure would drop even more.
In an interview on 03/15/23 at 3:49 PM with ADON #1, stated the nurses had been trained in medication
administration but could not recall the day. ADON #1 said the process for medication administration was to
check the physician orders and ensure they were correct before administering the medication. She stated
she was aware that LVN D had administered the medication without checking the blood pressure according
to the physician order. She stated LVN D should not have given the medication because Resident #51's
blood pressure was lower than the blood pressure parameters, and he could suffer from hypotension.
In an interview on 03/15/23 at 4:19 PM with DON, she said LVN D should have checked the medication
order and not administered it to Resident #51 because his blood pressure had been out of the parameters.
DON could not recall when the nurses had been trained last in medication administration.
