person obtaining permission was not signed. The document did not indicate who the consent was signed
by. The document did not determine whether consent was given as no box was checked to determine if the
resident or representative agreed with treatment or refused treatment.
On 7/25/24 at 11:17 AM an interview was conducted with the DON regarding the psychoactive medication
consent for trazodone for Resident #72. She stated, I don't know what could have happened. She stated
nursing staff were responsible for ensuring that the consents were complete. She stated, The (consents)
book is supposed to be audited. We try to do it quarterly. She added that she expected the staff to have
completed the consents. Regarding the possible risk to residents, she stated, For us not much of an affect.
We call the family first before giving any psychoactive meds. It is paperwork (issue).
During an interview on 7/25/24 at 12:10PM with the DON, she verified the consents for Resident #8 for
Trazodone and Lorazepam did not exist, the facility had not attempted to complete the consents. The DON
verified with Surveyor the consent for Resident #222 was not complete; the consent was missing the
signature of the staff who obtained the consent and whether the consent was provided for treatment by the
resident or representative via a signature. The DON stated the nurse obtaining the medication order is
responsible for obtaining the complete consent for psychotropic medications. She stated all staff had been
trained on obtaining consents. She stated human error is the cause for the missing and incomplete
consents. She stated the potential negative outcome was incomplete paperwork.
During an interview on 7/25/24 at 12:28PM, the ADM stated the admitting nurse or the nurse receiving the
order for the psychotropic medication is responsible for obtaining the consent for the psychotropic
medication from the resident or their responsible party on the same day it is received from the physician.
The ADM stated the consent should have been obtained prior to the residents being given psychotropic
medications. The ADM stated the nurses have all been trained on medication consents. The ADM stated
human error was the reason for the lack of consents and the incomplete consents. The ADM stated a
potential negative outcome to the residents was the resident's family would not receive notification of the
medication being administrated.

to treat a specific condition. Psychotropic medication is any medication that affects brain activity associated
with mental processes. Psychotropic medications include anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety,
and hypnotics. Residents, families and/ or the representative are involved in the medication management

The findings include:
On 7/24/24 at 9:02 AM an observation was made of the central bath on the Mauve Hall which included
rooms 32 through 43. The door to the bath was not locked. There was a spray bottle of Disinfectant Cleaner

Cleaner and Deodorizer was labeled, Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes or clothing.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling . The upper cabinets in the bath were locked. One of 2
cabinets had spray bottles of Virex Plus, a spray bottle of pink liquid, and an aerosol can of End [NAME] II
spray disinfectant located on the upper shelf. The spray bottle of pink liquid was hand labeled Hand
sanitizer MSD (Material Safety Data) sheet at nurse station. The aerosol can of End [NAME] II spray
disinfectant was labeled, Causes substantial but temporary eye injury . These spray bottles of
cleaners/disinfectants were stored on a shelf above an open container of razors, hand and body lotion, hair
conditioner, shampoo, and deodorant. Two CNAs, A and C, entered and left the room but did not move the

central bath. She stated she had worked in the facility previously and yesterday (7/23/24) was her first day
back. CNA A was shown the unlocked cabinet containing the cleaners stored above and with resident
toiletries. She stated, the cabinet may have been left unlocked by the night shift and staff were supposed to
lock the cabinets. She added she felt the cleaners were stored in the cabinet, so they were convenient to
clean the shower chairs. She also stated that she did not know why the shampoo was stored next to the
cleaners. She then moved the bottle of shampoo away from the spray bottles of cleaners and put it with the
other toiletries stored on the shelf beneath the cleaners. Regarding any training on storage of chemicals
and baths, she stated there had been nothing mentioned about not storing chemicals above toiletries and
with resident items. She further stated that if a (chemical) bottle had a hole, it could leak and get in the
resident bottles.

items could not be stored together and the doors on the cabinets should be locked. She stated chemicals
should not be stored above resident items and razors. She stated this issue occurred due to people not
being careful. She stated, We (Nursing staff) do rounds. We look for these types of things (unsafe chemical
storage). We have a checklist; I do not know if it is always used. She stated chemicals could spill on
resident items and these items could not be used as a result of unsafe chemical storage. She also stated
she expected staff to keep chemicals stored safely.

conducted walking rounds to ensure that chemicals were stored safely in bathing areas. She stated the
unsafe storage of chemicals could have a negative effect on residents. The negative effect could be
anything. It depends on the resident. It could cause harm.

substances in the diet (e.g., Sodium or potassium), or to provide mechanically altered food when indicated.
Other delegated providers may include a nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, or physician assistant,
or a qualified dietitian, or other clinically qualified nutrition professional. However, the medical professional
retains responsibility for the order. The delegated provider criteria is also applicable to the ordering of
nutritional supplements, such as TwoCal HN (supplement), boost, Ensure, Glucerna, and ProSource Liquid
Protein .
Good nutrition is necessary for all residents in the healthcare facility and is an important part of their
medical treatment. Our residents have various medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes,
heart problems, or kidney disease to name a few; that is why it is important to follow the guidelines that
have been ordered for them .

Record review of Resident #72's Emar (May 2024 thru July 2024) revealed that she was administered
trazodone from 5/14/24 through 5/19/24 and that the order was open ended and PRN. There had been a
hold of the medication for the period of 7/11/24 through 7/ 17/24. Resident #72's PRN trazodone order was
still active on 7/23/24.
Record review of the June 2024 pharmacy consultant report revealed there were no recommendations for
Resident #72.
During an interview with the DON, on 7/25/2024 at approximately 10:15AM, she stated she was going to
have a meeting with the Nurse Practitioner about this issue because it had happened before. Regarding the
PRN order, she stated, the Nurse Practitioner had not placed a stop date on the medication or made it
scheduled. She stated that the Nurse Practitioner and pharmacy consultant, and others who saw the order,
were responsible for this issue. She stated, We are getting ready to get rid of the PRN orders. We will start
monitoring for the PRN orders. She stated, she had expected staff to have gotten a scheduled order or
corrected the PRN order and placed a stop date on it. Regarding a possible risk to residents she stated, I'm
confused. The solution is probably to schedule the medication. She added, the PRN trazadone order had
gotten overlooked, and staff did not want to change Resident #72's routine. She stated she did not feel
there was a risk of Resident #3 being on a PRN alprazolam as she takes it regularly every day for anxiety.
The DON stated the alprazolam should have been scheduled as Resident #3 had been admitted with that
order. She stated prior to today she did not realize the alprazolam had no end date. The DON stated she
reviews all recommendations by the pharmacist and saw she was on Xanax (alprazolam) but no one had
said anything about it. She stated her expectations is to make sure they are within the state guidelines for
PRN usage.
During an interview with the ADM on 7/25/2024 at 11:06 AM, she stated it is a team effort between staff,
the NP, DON and physicians to ensure residents are not on any unnecessary medications. She stated
during care plan meetings those medications are reviewed for you and during the quarterly MDS meetings.
She stated the possible risk of unnecessary medications if unnecessary side effects for the residents. She
stated the possible reason for having PRN medications with no end date was human error and not
checking.
Record review of facility policy titled Medication Utilization and Prescribing- Clinical Protocol, revealed,
