Review of nurses' notes dated February 19, 2011 at 10:20 a.m., revealed that when Nurse Aide 1 was ambulating Resident R1 to the bathroom with her walker, the resident's right shoe became loose, she lost her balance and fell backwards onto her buttocks and the back of her head hit the floor. A large laceration and hematoma (swelling caused by a collection of blood) was noted on her occipital area (lower back of head) and she was emergently transferred to the hospital. Resident R1 was returned to the facility at 3:00 p.m., she had a 3.5 centimeter laceration that had seven staples in place with some bleeding at the site and was diagnosed to have a subdural hematoma (accumulation of blood inside the skull which builds pressure on the brain). In addition she had multiple skin tears and bruises and complained of pain all over. Review of Nurse Aide 1's statement dated February 19, 2011, reported that Resident R1 took two steps and her right shoe made her foot go to the side and she lost her balance and fell . She also stated that the resident's right shoe never fits very well and it sometimes doesn't stay tight on her foot. Licensed Practical Nurse 1's statement which is also dated February 19, 2011, reported that there was no gait belt on the resident (as required by facility policy) and the resident's right shoe was off. The facility's investigation that ended on February 23, 2011, concluded that Nurse Aide 1 failed to use a gait belt when ambulating the resident and failed to check for proper fitting footwear prior to ambulating Resident R1. 28 Pa.

F333G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on review of clinical records and facility documentation and interviews with staff, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that one of 16 residents reviewed (Resident R1) was free from any significant medication errors. Findings include: Review of Resident R1's physician's orders [REDACTED]. Resident R1's Medication Administration Record [MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION RECORD DETAILS REDACTED]"2" (hurts a little bit) which was described as a generalized pain (aching) and that death was not imminent. Subsequent nurses notes dated [DATE], reported that [MEDICATION NAME] was given at 3:45 p.m., and [MEDICATION NAME] (antianxiety medication) 1 mg was given at 6:20 p.m. At 7:30 p.m., Hospice was contacted regarding Resident R1's inability to swallow and orders were received and verified by the physician for [MEDICATION NAME] 0.25 cubic centimeters sub-lingually (under the tongue) every 2 hours as needed for pain. The Individual Narcotic Record indicated that [MEDICATION NAME] 0.25 cc was given at 7:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. There was no evidence that the resident was assessed for pain during this time frame or for the effectiveness of the medication. At 10:45 p.m., on [DATE], Registered Nurse (RN) 2 was notified by RN 1 that Resident R1's Narcotic Count ([MEDICATION NAME]) was incorrect and that Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)1 told RN 1 that she had spilled some medication earlier in the evening. At 11:00 p.m., LPN 1 stated she gave the wrong dose three times (gave 2.5 cc instead of 0.25 cc, which is 10 times the prescribed dose). RN 1 and RN 3 assessed Resident R1 at 11:15 p.m., and he was unresponsive, his heart rate was irregular, he had deep slow breathing and his blood oxygen level ranged between ,[DATE]% (resident's norm ranged from ,[DATE]). The physician was contacted and informed of the three medication errors. Resident R1 remained unresponsive and his condition continued to decline until he died on [DATE], at 9:45 a.m. Review of the labeling on the [MEDICATION NAME] bottle revealed that it contained 20 mg per milliliter (or cubic centimeter) and listed several doses and their corresponding volume. Resident R1 was to receive 5 mg or 0.25 cc. The calibrated device provided with the bottle was clearly marked in 0.05 cc increments. Statements written by LPN 2 and LPN 3 revealed that on [DATE], at approximately 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., LPN 1 requested assistance with the dosing calculation for the [MEDICATION NAME]. Both LPN 2 and LPN 3 reviewed the calculation with her using the provided calibrated device (almost 2 hours after the first dose was given). LPN 1 administered three incorrect doses of [MEDICATION NAME], failed to identify that the narcotic declining count was incorrect after the first dose was given, and incorrectly documented the amount given/left on the Individual Narcotic Record. Interview with the Administrator, Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing on [DATE], at 10:05 a.m., confirmed that LPN 1 administered three overdoses of [MEDICATION NAME] and that the resident's assessments, physical presentation and symptoms, did not warrant the administration of the three doses of [MEDICATION NAME] or the one dose of [MEDICATION NAME]. 28 Pa.
