Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, facility document review, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to administer the correct dosage of medication for one of 25 residents reviewed (Resident 41); and failed to ensure that physician's orders were implemented for three of 22 residents on the East Wing (Residents 69, 87, 89). Findings include: A review of the facility policy, titled Administering Medications, last revised April 2019, revealed that the individual administering the medications records in the resident's medical record; the date and the time the medication was administered; the dosage; the signature and title of the person administering the medication. The individual administering medication checks the label three times to verify the right resident, right medication, right dosage, right time, and right route of administration before giving the medication. Review of Resident 41's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dementia (a chronic disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning) and cerebral infarction (a stroke-damage to the brain from interruption of its blood supply). Review of Resident 41's current physician orders revealed an order for oxycodone (a controlled opioid pain medication) oral tablet 5 mg give 0.5 tablet by mouth every six hours as needed for severe pain, dated February 19, 2024. Review of Resident 41's progress notes revealed a note dated May 6, 2024, that indicated a nurse had identified that Resident 41's medication card for their ordered oxycodone contained tablets that were 5 mg (milligrams) and that it was noted on the controlled substance log that only one of the six documented medication administrations had indicated that half a tablet was wasted; therefore, Resident 41 received the wrong medication dose on five occasions (March 5, 9, 14, and 21, 2024; and May 6, 2024). The note also indicated that Resident 41 had no negative outcomes and that their Representative and physician was made aware of the error. Review of facility provided medication error report revealed that Employees 11, 12, and 13 confirmed that they gave the wrong dose of oxycodone to Resident 41. During a staff interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON) on October 9, 2024, at 12:11 PM, the DON indicated education was provided to all licensed nurses regarding the 10 rights to medication administration, and she confirmed that she would expect nurses to administer the correct doses of medication as ordered. During the survey screening process on October 6, 2024, at approximately 11:45 AM, Resident 87 ambulated to the hall to inform this surveyor that she was not administered her 6:00 AM medications by the night shift nurse on that morning. During the conversation, Employee 9 (Licensed Practical Nurse) was present and stated that Resident 87 also informed her that the medications were not administered when she started her medication pass on day shift, and that she notified the Supervisor, who was going to notify the physician. Employee 9 also stated that she requested an order for the analgesic so that she wouldn't have to wait several hours until the next dose was due. Resident 87 said that she needs her Tylenol because she has pain in the morning when she first gets out of bed. A review of Resident 87's BIMS (brief interview of mental status) reveals a score of 15, indicating she is cognitively intact. Review of the clinical record revealed the medication administration record (MAR) was not signed off for Buspar (anxiolytic- to decrease anxiety/depression) and Tylenol (analgesic for pain). During interview with Employee 9 on October 6, 2024, the employee stated that other residents stated they did not receive their early morning medications and that the Supervisor was made aware of the reports. The DON interviewed the three residents that were capable of interviews, based on a BIMS score. Resident 87 informed the DON that she had not received her 6:00 AM medications that included the buspar and Tylenol; Resident 69 informed the DON that she didn't receive her 6:00 AM Lasix (diuretic to decrease edema) for a diagnoses of congestive heart failure (excessive body/lung fluid caused by a weakened heart); and Resident 89 informed the DON that she didn't receive her 6:00 AM medications that included Tylenol for pain and phenobarbital for seizures (uncontrolled jerking, loss of consciousness, blank stares and other symptoms caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain). A review of the clinical records for Resident 69 and Resident 89 revealed their 6:00 AM medications were not signed off to indicate administration. The phenobarbital narcotic count revealed the 6:00 AM dose was present and not administered as ordered by Employee 10. The DON was made aware of the complaints of medication omissions on October 6, 2024, by the night shift supervisor, and began an investigation that included interviewing staff and residents and contacting the individual assigned to the medication pass from 5:00 AM until 6:00 AM on October 6, 2024. The facility interview with Employee 10 revealed that Employee 10 stated she gave the medications but didn't sign them off because she thought she could do that at home remotely. The Tylenol is a stock medication so administration could not be confirmed, four doses of levothyroxine (to treat hypothyroidism when thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone) could not be confirmed as administered, the levothyroxine doses were not present, indicating the medication was removed to administer but the Medication Administration Record (MAR) was not signed off as administered. During an interview with the DON on October 7, 2024, at approximately 11:00 AM, the DON confirmed that medications should be administered as prescribed and initialed by the individual after administration. The DON also informed this surveyor that staff are never given remote access. 28 Pa. Code 201.18(b)(1) Management 28 Pa. Code 211.10(c)(d) Resident care policies 28 Pa.

F224G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on review of select facility reports, clinical record review and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to prevent resident neglect which resulted in a fall with injury to one of 3 residents reviewed (Resident 1). Findings include: Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], from the hospital with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of Resident 1's comprehensive MDS assessment (Minimum Data Set-a periodic review of resident needs completed on admission, annually or if there are significant changes in condition), dated May 27, 2016, revealed in Section G, Functional Status (ability for resident to perform tasks) G0110 - Activities of Daily Living (ability for resident to perform tasks on a daily basis) regarding transfer status (the ability to move from bed to chair) Resident 1 required limited assistance to perform the task with the physical assist of one staff person. In regards to the activity of toileting, Resident 1 required extensive assistance to perform the activity with the assistance of two staff members. Review of Resident 1's care plan (instructions on how a resident will be taken care of with interventions, goals and outcomes) for the, Potential for Falls, dated May 20, 2016, revealed interventions for bed and chair alarms (devices used to alert staff when a resident attempts to get up from the bed or a chair), indicating that the staff are to check the placement and the function of the alarms each shift. During an interview on June 29, 2016, at 1:15 PM with SD 1 (a Staff Development Registered Nurse), it was confirmed that the facility's expectation is that if a resident had a bed/chair alarm they should not be left unattended in the bathrooms and that when new employees are trained, they are instructed to not leave residents who require the use of a bed/chair alarm alone or unattended while in the bathrooms. Review of a, Post Fall/Found on Floor Investigation, form (a form completed by the staff after a resident has a fall or is found on the floor) dated June 26, 2016, at 1:45 PM revealed that a nurse was responding to the bathroom alarm when Resident 1's husband called stating that the resident was on the floor. The resident was found on the floor lying on her left side with her feet towards the toilet and her head in the doorway, unresponsive. Further review of the clinical record for Resident 1 revealed a progress note (a form used to document care for the resident) that was written after the incident on June 16, 2016 at 1:45 PM by RN 1(Registered Nurse 1). The progress note was dated June 26, 2016, at 9:31 PM and indicated Resident 1 was not responding (not reacting to her surroundings or the people around her- unconscious) but had a pulse and a blood pressure. A small amount of blood was noted on the floor by her left forehead. A cervical collar (also known as a neck brace, a medical device used to support a person's neck) was noted to be on. Resident 1's vital signs (indicators of body function) were heart rate 38 (normal is 72 for men and 80 for women), blood pressure 78/39 (normal is 120/80), and the percent of oxygen in the blood was 68% (normal is greater than 92 %), on room air. After approximately 2 minutes the resident began to respond. Her vital signs at this time were, heart rate 81, blood pressure 98/63 and the percent of oxygen in her blood was 89%, with supplemental oxygen. Resident 1 denied any neck pain or numbness or tingling. The progress note stated that the resident was, hollering to get off the floor. An order to send the resident to the ER (emergency room ) was obtained on June 26, 2016, at 2:00 PM and the resident was transported to the hospital for treatment and evaluation. During the ride to the hospital, the resident, Coded (no heart beat and no breathing) and was pronounced dead in the Emergency Department. Further review of the, Post Fall/Found on Floor Investigation form revealed that NA 1 (Nurse Aide 1) stated that she was unsure if she knew the resident had bed/chair alarms. She said that she believed she knew not to leave the resident alone in the bathroom. She admitted to asking Resident 1 to ring for assistance and then left the floor without telling anyone that Resident 1 was in the bathroom. During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on June 29, 2016, at 12:30PM it was revealed that their expectation is that since Resident 1 used bed/chair alarms, Resident 1 should not have been left unattended in the bathroom. The facility failed to provide necessary supervision for a resident who required supervision during toileting, resulting in a fall that required transfer to the hospital. 28 Pa.
