Review of the resident's weights indicated on 2/2/25 the resident weighed 94.8 pounds and on 8/1/25 the resident weighed 82.8 pounds, which was a 12.66 % weight loss over six months. The resident was seen on 6/24/25 for weight loss by the nurse practitioner (NP). She requested a dietitian consultation. A dietitian consult note, dated 7/11/25 indicated the resident had greater than 10% weight loss in six months. The dietitian indicated the resident had triggered a significant weight loss and had trending weight loss. She received a regular diet with yogurt at breakfast, chocolate milk with meals, Boost with meals, and Boost three times a day. The resident's acceptance of the supplements varied. Mirtazapine was started on 7/9/25. The dietitian recommended discontinue the Boost at meals to promote oral intake at meals., change Boost plus high protein to twice a day and add Boost breeze daily. During an observation, on 8/14/25 at 12:03 p.m., the resident received white milk on her tray. During an observation, on 8/14/25 at 12:11 p.m., LPN 13 brought a Boost high protein supplement to the resident while the resident was eating her meal. During an interview, on 8/14/25 at 12:19 p.m., LPN 13 indicated chocolate milk was not on the dietary slip. The resident should have chocolate milk. The chocolate milk was signed off for each meal on the medication administration record (MAR). She indicated she gave the resident chocolate Boost at meals and wondered if that counted as chocolate milk. A review of the resident's lunch ticket for 8/14/25, provided by LPN 13 on 8/14/25 at 12:19 p.m., indicated chocolate milk was not listed. During an interview, on 8/15/25 at 1:53 p.m., RN 10 indicated the DON reviewed the dietitian's recommendations and notified the NP for new orders. During an interview, on 8/15/25 at 1:57 p.m., the DON indicated the when the dietitian made recommendations, the DON discussed them with the NP. The DON indicated the resident's representative had indicated the resident seemed to do better drinking than eating. The DON was unable to provide documentation of the reasoning for not following the dietitian's recommendation to not give the Boost at meals. A current facility policy, dated 10/2014, provided by the DON on 8/15/25 at 3:02 p.m., titled DIETITIAN RECOMMENDATION, indicated the following: .Administrative nursing staff shall be responsible to ensure said recommendations are communicated to the resident's physician as soon as possible, but no later than three (3) days from receiving said recommendation.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to prevent a significant medication error, resulting in the hospitalization of a resident for altered mental status. (Resident B) Findings include: Resident B's closed clinical record was reviewed on 7/2/25 at 11:08 a.m. Diagnoses included displaced fracture of right femur, atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), heart disease. The resident admitted to the facility from the hospital on 6/27/25. Current physician orders include buprenorphine-naloxone (treats narcotic dependence) 8-2 milligram (mg) sublingual twice a day, tramadol (opiate pain medication) 50 mg every six hours, ciprofloxacin (antibiotic) 500 mg one tablet twice a day for three days for urinary tract infection (UTI), iron 325 mg one tablet daily for anemia, and potassium gluconate 595 mg daily for hypokalemia. A current care plan, dated 6/27/25, indicated Resident B was at risk for atrial fibrillation. Interventions included administering medication as ordered, aspirin as ordered, Eliquis as ordered, monitor vital signs as needed, notify physician if any concerns, and obtain her pulse as indicated. A current care plan, dated 6/27/25, indicated Resident B had a recent history of a fracture and was at risk for pain and infection due to right femur fracture. Interventions included assess pain location, duration, intensity, and frequency, assess the residents level of pain as needed, monitor of signs and symptoms of infection/complications such as: elevated temperature, redness, swelling, and or warmth. Notify the nurse of any problems for further evaluation and possible physician and resident representative notification, offer pain medication as ordered and monitor effectiveness. Review of a pharmacy consolidated delivery sheet dated 6/27/25 indicated naloxone (Narcan) hcl 4 mg nasal spray was administered and checked off as being received by LPN 8 on 6/27/25. On 6/28/25 at 10:58 a.m., Resident B was alert and oriented. Resident B's speech was clear and she was able to make her needs known. Resident B's pulse was strong and regular. Resident B denied any chest pain, feeling of her heart racing, or being fatigued. Resident B complained of right hip pain that was relieved with prescribed medications. A June 2025 Medication Administration Report (MAR) indicated buprenorphine-naloxone 8-2 mg was administered by LPN 4 on 6/27/25 between 6:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. A progress note, dated 6/28/25 at 9:01 p.m., indicated Resident B had complaints of being hot and yawning. Resident B's blood pressure was 180/100 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Staff were unable to obtain her oxygen saturation. A new order was received to send Resident B to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. A call was placed to 911. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) arrived and transported Resident B to the hospital. Hospital Records, dated 6/28/25 and 6/29/25, indicated Resident B admitted with complaints of altered mental status after receiving 4 mg of intranasal Narcan. Resident B had a history of atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythm) and had been off her Eliquis (blood thinner) due to an upcoming surgery. Resident B was cardioverted (shocked) back into normal sinus rhythm after the third attempt. Resident B continued to be agitated after the cardioversion, but her blood pressure had initially been stable afterward. A hospital physician note indicated Resident B was in shock with a blood pressure of 79/31 mmhg. Resident B was admitted to the ICU due to cardiogenic shock (heart cannot pump well) with acute cystitis (kidney infection) without hematuria with shock. During an interview, on 7/2/25 at 12:06 p.m., the facility's Pharmacist indicated naloxone (Narcan) nasal spray was sent to the nursing facility. If naloxone was administered, a residents blood pressure would need to be monitored. Side effects from the naloxone include sweating or flushing, hot flashes, abdominal cramping, vomiting, disorientation or dizziness. Side effects could also affect the heart rate. When someone is in pain, symptoms include body sweats and increased heart rate. The resident's symptoms could have been from pain, withdrawal, or the medication. On 7/2/25 at 12:54 p.m., LPN 4 indicated Resident B was playing cards at the time of the medication administration. The naloxone nasal spray was in the bottom of the medication cart. Resident B received tramadol then administered the naloxone instead of the ordered buprenorphine- naloxone. LPN 4 helped Resident B administer the naloxone nasal spray. The nurse indicated she normally checked the label against the medication. She had noticed the buprenorphine- naloxone was ordered as a film and the naloxone was a nasal spray, but was unable to recall when she noticed that. Roughly 10 minutes later, another nurse advised LPN 4 to assess Resident B, as she was experiencing symptoms. Resident B was displaying trembling, complaint of being hot. She was oriented and able to state she was shaking and trembling. Her blood pressure was low. On 7/2/25 at 1:30 p.m., the facility's Medical Director indicated Resident B was discharged from the hospital on 6/27/25 following hip surgery with an order for buprenorphine- naloxone, but the hospital did not send in a prescription to the pharmacy. If buprenorphine- naloxone was stopped abruptly, one would start experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms would not happen several hours after her hospital discharge. Naloxone's effect would not be long lasting in a person's system, which is why the medication can be administered every few minutes. The two most common causes of cardiogenic shock were heart attack or sepsis. A person's age, along with other commodities including anemia, which Resident B could have experienced due to her surgery, would affect her heart. Within the first 90 days following hip surgery, those resident become very bedridden, not wanting to move around. Age, anemia, and dehydration increased the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). From his medical standpoint, he felt Resident B likely suffered from sepsis, heart attack, or maybe even a PE. Any of these three conditions could put someone into cardiogenic shock. On 7/2/25 at 3:09 p.m., RN 7 indicated the Nurse Practitioner (NP) discontinued the naloxone order upon the resident's admission to the facility. RN 6 was unaware the naloxone was ordered through the pharmacy. The naloxone was never ordered through the facility. It only existed on Resident B's hospital discharge medication summary. On 7/2/25 at 3:34 p.m., LPN 8 indicated she did not recall receiving naloxone from the pharmacy. She placed medication in the resident's drawer; any medication overflow would be placed in the bottom drawer of the mediation cart. A current facility policy, dated 4/2017, titled Medication Administration, provided by the Administrator, on 7/3/25 at 3:37 p.m., indicate the following: Guidelines for medication administration: 1. Medications are administered to residents only as prescribed and only by person licensed or qualified to do so. 10. Always observe the six rights of giving each medication: right resident, right medicine, right time, right dose, right route, right documentation. 11.

Interventions included administering medications as ordered, monitor blood pressure routinely and notify physician and resident representative per call order parameters, administer losartan, and check blood pressure and heart rate. 3. Resident 35's clinical record was reviewed on 8/26/24 at 3:54 p.m. Diagnoses included dementia, heart failure, edema, essential (primary) hypertension, repeated falls, and multiple rib fractures. Resident orders included metoprolol succinate (high blood pressure) extended release 75 mg tablet once daily, hold if heart rate is below 60. A Medication Administration Report (MAR), for July 2024, indicated the resident received metoprolol succinate daily July 23rd through July 31st even though her heart rate was not recorded on the MAR. A Medication Administration Report (MAR), for August 2024, indicated the resident received metoprolol succinate daily August 7th through August 14th even though her heart rate was not recorded on the MAR. No vitals were recorded under vital signs from July 23rd through August 8th. Resident 35's comprehensive care plan, revised on 7/23/24, indicated she had a diagnosis of hypertension and is at risk for associated complication. Interventions included administering medications as ordered, monitor blood pressure routinely and notify physician and resident representative per call order parameters. During an interview, on 8/29/24 at 12:02 p.m., LPN 5 indicated for the medications that are ordered with parameters, the computer requires the user to put in those parameters before being able to proceed to administer the medication. If a number is put in outside of the parameter, it will notify the user that it is out of range. The user would need to hit the okay button or cancel the administration altogether. When the user hits the cancel button, then she can put in that the medication was not administered due to condition. When the users clicks on the medication she wants to give it will pop up a box for vital signs if those are needed before administering the medication. Once those have been entered, the user would then click prep. You would then hit complete to indicate the medication was administered. It would be very difficult to accidentally administer the medication when the user has three steps to go through to finalize that the medication was given. On medications that require a blood pressure or heart rate, there is a red star where you must enter the vitals before it lets you proceed to the next step. During an interview, on 8/28/24 at 12:18 p.m., LPN 8 indicated the physician put parameters on certain medications like blood pressure or heart rate. The medication would be held if the vitals were not within the parameter range. She would click that the medication was not given and give a reason why it was held. During an interview, on 8/28/24 at 12:19 p.m., LPN 9 indicated she takes vitals on medications with parameters. If the vitals are not within the parameter range, she would hold the medication and indicate why the medication was not given. During an interview, on 8/29/24 at 3:36 p.m., the DON indicated an in-service on parameters was just completed for the nurses and the Qualified Medication Aides (QMA). They all verbalized they understood and will check vitals prior to administering medications. If they don't give a mediation, they will document a reason why it wasn't given. A current facility policy, revised 4/2017, titled Medication Administration, provided by the DON, on 8/29/24 at 2:04 p.m., indicated the following: .Purpose: To safely administer medications as per physicians' orders. 20.

She reached up to get a food bowl from her tray and held it while eating. Resident 35's clinical record was reviewed on 8/26/24 at 3:54 p.m. Her diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease with late onset, dementia, visual hallucinations, depression, anxiety disorder, and abnormal weight loss. The current physician's orders included mirtazapine (for appetite stimulant) 7.5 mg daily at bedtime (started 5/7/24) and resident is to have all foods served in bowls at every meal (started 3/13/24). A significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, completed on 6/28/24, indicated the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. She required supervision to touching assistance with eating and partial to moderate assistance with transfers. She had experienced a significant weight loss. A care plan for eating, initiated on 3/20/24 and last revised on 7/2/24, indicated the resident required staff assistance for meal consumption. The interventions included ensure resident is seated in an environment which will provide staff assistance and encourage meal consumption. During an interview, on 8/29/24 at 4:01 p.m., the DON indicated she was aware the resident sat a little low in her chair to the table. She thought they had tried a bedside table for dining but was uncertain if any other interventions had been attempted. During an interview, on 8/30/24 at 8:46 a.m., CNA 7 indicated the resident almost always sat at the regular dining table until today. A lower table had been brought into the dining room for her. The resident may have used a bedside table as her dining table at some time, but CNA 7 did not remember much about it. During an interview, on 8/30/24 at 8:47 a.m., LPN 5 indicated the resident had an order for her food to be placed in bowls so she could put in her lap because she sat low at the table. She had placed her plate in her lap prior to getting the bowls which made it difficult for her to eat. They had briefly tried to have her sit in a regular chair, but she stood up as soon as she was done with her meal and tried to leave. She was a fall risk, so the wheelchair was used to prevent falls. During an interview, on 8/30/24 at 11:16 a.m., the DON indicated she had spoken to the Administrator about the resident's seat height to the table height. They had not thought about it being an issue. During an interview, on 8/30/24 at 11:24 a.m., the Administrator indicated the facility did not have a policy on dining. 3.1-3(t) 3.1-3(v)(1)

Interventions included psychoactive medications as ordered which included lamotrigine and olanzapine. A care plan for delusions, initiated on 4/25/23 and last revised on 8/8/24, indicated the resident suffered from delusions due to schizophrenia as he believed there was a horse in his room that was trying to hurt him and his roommate, believed people are going to cut off his toes, and thought staff was out to get him. Interventions included notify nurse and social services for further evaluation and possible physician and resident representative notification and administer medications as ordered which included lamotrigine and olanzapine. A mood and behavior communication memo, dated 5/6/24 no time, indicated the resident thought people were out to get him and kill him. He thought someone was going to shoot him and isolated in his room due to those beliefs. A mood and behavior communication memo, dated 5/15/24 at 3:00 p.m., indicated the resident said the dietary personnel had poisoned his dinner the night before. A mood and behavior communication memo, dated 6/20/24 at lunch time, indicated the resident refused to come out of his room from lunch. He said someone one would kill him if he came out of his room with his work shirt on. A PASRR completed on 7/1/23 did not indicate the resident's current mental health diagnoses. During an interview, on 8/28/24 at 4:00 p.m., the DON indicated she would look for the most recent PASRR completed for the resident, including the application. Review of the PASRR Level 1 Screen Outcome, dated 8/29/24, provided by the Social Services Director on 8/29/24 at 10:38 a.m., indicated the Level 1 had been submitted on 8/28/24.
