These deficient practices placed Residents 1 and 3 at increased risk to experience serious health complications such as thromboembolism (obstruction of a blood vessel by a blood clot that has become dislodged from another site in the circulation) and pulmonary embolism (clot dislodgement in the lungs), heart attack, or stroke likely resulting in hospitalization or death. Resident 2, 4, 5, and 6 could have experienced serious health complications such as respiratory arrest (the inability to breathe), abnormal heart rhythms such as tachycardia (fast heart rate). On 10/5/2020 at 9:50 p.m., the State Agency (the Department) called an Immediate Jeopardy situation (a situation in which the facility's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident) in the presence of the administrator (ADM) and the director of nursing (DON).

On 10/6/2020, at 12:10 p.m., the ADM provided the Department with a Plan of Action (POA, a plan to immediately address non-compliance so that residents are not in danger) which was not accepted as it did not indicate the process to obtain prescribed medications when not found in the medication cart. On 10/6/2020 at 5:05 p.m. the ADM provided the Department with another POA which was not accepted after validation and the ADM was informed on 10/7/2020 at 11:13 a.m. On the same day, by 9:10 p.m., the facility had not provided an accepatable POA. On 10/8/2020 at 9:02 a.m. the DON provided the Department with a Plan of Action (POA) which included the following summarized actions: 1. Licensed nurses reassessed Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and found the residents condition to be stable with no adverse reactions. Licensed Nurses notified the residents' attending physicians about missing the administration medications. All medications that were not available were reordered from the pharmacy and Resident 1's attending physician (MD 1) ordered lab tests to further assess resident's condition. 2. The DON conducted in-service training to the licensed nurses including process of refills and ordering medications, medication administration, availability of medication, 24hour medication cart check, and ethical standards in medication administrations, medication availability and how to order.
