F755J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on the review of facility documentation, review of policies and procedures, review of clinical records, review of hospital records, observations, and interviews with staff, it was determined that the facility failed to have enough supply of Narcan available during a potential emergency drug overdose. This failure of the facility to appropriately administer and have enough supply of Narcan available for a resident who was prescribed opiates and had a history of opiate abuse placed Resident R355 at risk for serious injury including death and 3 other residents at risk for serious injury for one of 4 residents reviewed with a history of opioid abuse. (Resident R355) Finding include: Review of facility policy Opioid overdose dated, [DATE], revealed that the Centers will have medications and procedures in place to treat suspected and/or actual opioid overdose. Naloxone (NARCAN(R)) may be used for the treatment of an opioid emergency such as an opioid overdose or a possible opioid overdose with observed signs and symptoms. Naloxone (NARCAN(R)) is to be given as soon as possible and does not take the place of emergency medical care. Get emergency medical help immediately after giving the first dose of naloxone (NARCAN(R)), even if the patient responds. Naloxone (NARCAN(R)) may be administered by a licensed nurse or other licensed professional to patients as indicated for the complete or partial reversal of opioid overdose. PURPOSE To provide for the timely and safe treatment of a suspected and/or opioid overdose. PROCESS 1. Evaluate for clinical signs and symptoms of opioid overdose including, but not limited to: 1.1 Loss of consciousness; 1.2 Unresponsive to sternal rubor applied external stimulus; 1.3 Slow, shallow, erratic, or absent breathing; 1.4 Irregular or absent pulse; 1.5 Pinpoint pupils; 1.6 Bluish purple skin tone (light skinned patient)/grayish ashen skin tone (dark skinned patient); 1.7 Choking sounds and/or snore-like gurgling noise; 1.8 Vomiting; 1.9 Body is limp; 1.10 Cyanosis. 2. If the patient exhibits signs and symptoms of opioid overdose: 2.1 Activate emergency medical system (EMS). 2.2 Initiate rescue breathing or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), if indicated. 2.3 Notify supervisor and attending physician/advanced practice provider (APP). 2.4 Check vital signs. 2.5 Obtain emergency medication: 2.5.1 Naloxone 0.4mg/mL injection, or 2.5.2 NARCAN (Naloxone) nasal spray 4mg/0.1mL. 2.6 Administer 0.4mg injection via intramuscular (IM) route or 4mg nasal spray via single nostril. 2.6.1 For IM route: 2.6.1.1 IM injection may be repeated every two (2) to three (3) minutes until a response is obtained, up to a maximum dose of 10mg. 2.6.1.2 If no response after IM administration of 10 milligrams (mg) total, the presumed diagnosis of opioid overdose should be questioned. 2.6.2 For nasal spray: 2.6.2.1 Additional doses can be administered every two (2) to three (3) minutes via alternating nostrils until EMS arrives. Review of drug information for Narcan available at https://www.drugs.com/dosage/naloxone.html revealed that Usual Adult Dose for Opioid Overdose Initial dose: 0.4 mg to 2 mg IV; alternatively, may give IM (intra muscular) or subcutaneously If desired response is not obtained, doses should be repeated at 2 to 3 minute intervals If no response is observed with a total dose of 10 mg, the diagnosis of opioid-induced or partial opioid-induced toxicity should be questioned. The duration of action of some opioids exceeds that of this drug, therefore, repeat doses may be needed; the need for repeat doses will depend on the amount, type, and route of administration of the opioid being antagonized. Review of clinical record for Resident R355 revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility with diagnosis including chronic osteomyelitis (inflammation of bone or bone marrow, usually due to infection) and IV (intravenous) opioid use, and cocaine abuse.

Continued review of Resident R1's medical record revealed a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-assessment of resident needs tool) dated (MONTH) 31, 2019, which indicated that the resident had limited range of motion bilaterally (both sides) in both her upper and lower extremities. Additionally, Resident R1's plan of care dated as revised (MONTH) 24, 2019 indicated that the resident was dependent on the physical assistance of staff for activities of daily living including bed mobility and transfers (moving from one area to another).

Findings include: A review of Resident R1's physician's orders [REDACTED]. A review of a Nursing Note for Resident R1, dated April 11, 2014, at 1:24 p.m. revealed that Resident R1 was transferred to the hospital-unplanned because of a dislodged (not in place) Peg Tube, that it was replaced in the facility, it was patent (unobstructed), flushed with water, pain was present when water was instilled, and the Resident vomited twice. A review of the facility's investigation into Resident R1's dislodged Peg Tube revealed that on April 11, 2014, at 9:20 a.m. the charge nurse was attempting to administer medications and experienced difficulty giving these medications, documented that the device (balloon) at the end of the Peg Tube which holds it in place was deflated .

The facility's policy on Peg Tube Care, updated 1/2/14, identified that to verify placement of a Peg Tube, 10 cc's (cubic centimeters) of air should be injected into the Peg Tube while a stethoscope is placed over the epigastric (upper area of the stomach) region and a whooshing sound would be heard. Also to verify placement, using a syringe, attached it to the Peg Tube and pull back, stomach contents should be seen if Peg Tube is placed correctly. Checking bowel, sounds as described above does not confirm placement of Peg Tube. A review of Resident R1's History and Physical, completed in the emergency room (ER) by the ER Physician, dated April 11, 2014, revealed that the resident did have a Perforated [MEDICATION NAME] (an abnormal opening in the stomach) and required immediate exploratory surgery and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) following the surgery.
