Resident #3's Morse Fall Scale assessment, dated 09/24/24, showed Resident #3 was a high fall risk. On 11/03/24, Resident #3 fell from the bed with no injury. Resident #3's Morse Fall Scale assessment, dated 12/03/24, showed Resident #3 was a high fall risk. On 12/29/24, Resident #3 had an un-witnessed fall from their bed and had a small bruising noted to the right eyebrow and a small skin tear noted to their right hand. Resident #3's Morse Fall Scale assessment, dated 12/31/24, showed Resident #3 was a high fall risk. On 02/08/25, Resident #3 had a fall from the bed with no injury. On 02/22/25, Resident #3 had an unwitnessed fall from their wheel chair resulting in Resident #3 being transported to the ER and diagnosed with blunt head trauma, nasal bone fracture, and contusion. There were no additional interventions added to Resident #3's care plan after the falls on 11/03/24, 12/29/24, 02/08/25, and 02/22/25. On 03/05/25 at 10:50 a.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified and verified the existence of a IJ situation. On 03/05/25 at 12:28 p.m., the administrator was notified of the IJ situation and provided the IJ template. On 03/06/25 at 12:28 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was approved by the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The actions to remove the immediacy of the alleged deficient practice, read in part, a. facility will ensure that all residents are free from certain injuries and that proper interventions are in place and documented; b. Resident # 3 was assessed on 03/05/25 by physician for any signs of injury related to certain injury; c. Resident #3 will be placed into increased observation to monitor for ongoing risk for certain injury; d. all nursing staff will be in-serviced on assessment of certain injury and implementation of interventions and policy and procedure related to falls and fall intervention; e. all residents with a fall within the last 30 days will be assessed for proper interventions; f. facility implemented a procedure on 03/05/25 and notified all staff of interventions of the Falling Star Program. The Director of Nursing has and will oversee the program and update accordingly and will hang at head of bed and write interventions on the back and document on careplan; g. all interventions have been documented on all resident's careplan and will be monitored by director of nursing daily until compliance is achieved;and h. plan is complete, likelihood of serious injury or harm will no longer exist as of 03/06/25. The IJ was lifted, effective 03/07/25 at 5:30 p.m., when all components of the plan of removal had been verified as completed. The following documents were reviewed for removal of the IJ situation: a. Resident #3's assessment on 03/05/25; b. in- service documentation for an assessment of certain injury and implementation of interventions and policy and procedure related to falls and fall intervention; c. all high fall risk residents' care plans for updated fall interventions; and d. falling stars above high fall residents' beds for interventions. The deficient practice remained isolated with the potential for more than minimal harm.

The ADON stated CMA #1 had noticed certain narcotics were not signed out on the narcotic count sheet, but were charted as given in the resident's medical record. The ADON stated there were other discrepancies besides the the narcotic medications. The ADON stated CMA #2 was charting the medications as given, but the resident never received them. The ADON stated the CMA would chart on the medication administration record that the narcotic was given, but not sign out the medication in the narcotic record book. The ADON stated the narcotic record book and the physical count of the narcotic medication matched, but the count did not correlate with the number of times the medication was documented as administered on the resident's medication administration record. The ADON stated the medications for Resident #9, Resident #36, and Resident #147 were moved to a different cart so a different CMA could give the medications on the weekend and the grievances were resolved for the three residents. The ADON stated all this was reported to the DON and the DON terminated CMA #2 immediately. The ADON stated the multiple medication errors should have been reported to the State agency and the residents physician. On 03/13/25 at 8:25 a.m., Employee #1 stated what drew their attention to CMA #2 was when they returned to work, the residents had increased behaviors and Resident #36 complained of increased pain. Employee #1 stated this occurred over at least three weeks and was reported to the charge nurse and DON. Employee #1 stated every week Resident #9, Resident #36, and Resident #147 would complain they did not receive their medications.

Employee #3 stated this was reported to the DON. Employee #3 stated in February 2025 residents again complained they were not receiving their medications. Employee #3 stated Resident #9, Resident #36, and Resident #147 were all cognitively intact and knew their medications and when they were to receive them. Employee #3 stated that was when the medications for Resident #9, Resident #36, and Resident #147 were moved so another CMA would administer their medications. Employee #3 stated they saw behavioral changes/increased behaviors in the confused residents. Employee #3 stated CMA #2 would stand at the medication cart all day (implying they did not enter resident rooms to administer medications), was not charting the administered medications, and spent time in empty resident rooms. Employee #3 stated CMA #2 was given a certified nurse aide position. On 03/13/25 at 12:22 p.m., the MDS coordinator stated CMA #2 was terminated due to grievances that residents were not receiving their medications on time. The MDS coordinator stated they knew the DON had investigated the allegation because the DON removed all the cognitively intact residents from CMA #2's cart and placed them on the other medication cart for the other CMA to administer. The MDS coordinator stated the DON reviewed the medication cards and found that medications were not administered. The MDS coordinator stated the DON felt CMA #2 was not up to par. The MDS coordinator stated if residents did not receive their medications, they could have increased pain, or behaviors, increased anxiety, or fall. The MDS coordinator stated the physician should be informed of the medication errors in case there was a negative outcome to the residents. The MDS coordinator stated the administrator instructed the DON to report the matter to the State agency, but was unaware if the DON did so. On 03/13/25 at 1:05 p.m., the DON stated they worked a weekend and people complained CMA #2 was slow. The DON stated the CMA needed to administer medications in the allotted time frames. The DON stated there was an ordered antibiotic which CMA #2 stated they gave, but another CMA stated CMA #2 did not administer the medication. The DON stated a long employed CMA stated CMA #2 was not giving all the medications. The DON stated the CMA stated they were looking at the medication card and felt like CMA #2 was not administering the medications. The DON stated they did not investigate the allegation because they did not feel the CMA reporting the allegation was credible and none of the residents voiced concerns. The DON stated the CMA had no proof CMA #2 did not administer the medications. The DON stated when they received the allegation, they removed CMA #2 from the cart, but could not corroborate the information that was given. The DON stated Resident #36 complained they did not receive their Remeron (an antidepressant). The DON stated they reviewed the resident's medications with the resident and educated them on their medications. The DON stated CMA #2 was pulled from the medication cart because they were slow, behind, and would not allow help. The DON stated they were made aware there was an allegation against CMA #2 was not giving the resident their medications as ordered. The DON stated they went over it and did not think it was a concern because the resident was happy. The DON stated there was another resident who complained of pain and stated CMA #2 pulled Tylenol (pain reliever) from their pocket. The DON stated the investigation was documented somewhere in their former office. The DON stated Resident #36 did report they were not getting their medications. The DON stated the allegation could be considered neglect or abuse. The DON stated they reported it to the administrator who asked if the CMA was in-serviced on the matter. The DON stated allegations of neglect/abuse should be reported to the State agency within two hours. The DON stated they did not report the allegation to the State agency because they gathered the details first and determined it was not neglect, but a patient education issue. The DON stated they in-serviced CMA #2 to explain what they were administering, but that did not suffice for Resident #36 and they requested CMA #2 no longer administer their medications. The DON was asked what should happen if a medication administration error or diversion was reported. The DON stated the allegation needed to be investigated, and the family, doctor, administrator, pharmacist, and State agency needed to be notified. On 03/13/25 at 2:37 p.m., administrator #1 stated they had a meeting with the DON about CMA #2 not passing medications on time. Administrator #1 stated some time later, it was reported by Resident #9 and Resident #36 that CMA #2 pulled medications from their pocket to administer to the residents. Administrator #1 stated the DON noticed when they would return from their weekend off, the residents were more hyped up and more crazy than usual. Administrator #1 stated the DON marked some of the medication cards on the medication cart that CMA #2 was assigned on for the weekend of 02/08/25 and 02/09/25. Administrator #1 stated the DON was able to determine from the marking that CMA #2 was charting they administered medications, but had not removed the medications from the cart. Administrator #1 stated the DON indicated it was routine medications and that most residents only missed a few of their medications and there was no pattern to what was missed. Administrator #1 stated on 02/10/25 they and the DON contacted CMA #2 who denied not administering medications. Administrator #1 stated the DON informed CMA #2 they had marked some of the residents' medication cards to determine if medications were administered. Administrator #1 stated the CMA continued to deny not administering medications and was demoted and offered a CNA position which the CMA declined. Administrator #1 stated they informed the DON this situation was a State reportable incident, but did not know if the DON filed the State reportable incident. Administrator #1 stated the incident was neglect and the CMA should have been reported to the Nurse Aide Registry and the incident reported to Adult Protective Services, the police, and the State agency within two hours.
