At time of fall, floor was dry, brief was wet, bed was in low position and locked, the Resident was alert and responding per baseline. Resident's mother was notified, and requested he be sent out for evaluation and PEG replacement. Ambulance transported the Resident at 5:25 AM. Review of prescriptions sent to pharmacy revealed two prescriptions were sent to the contract pharmacy for Xcopri; one on September 22, 2023, for 30 tablets, and a second on September 24, 2023, for 30 tablets. Review of the physician's (Employee 1) History and Physical dated September 24, 2023, at 10:19 PM, documented a diagnosis of seizure disorder. Xcopri and Lamictal were ordered for seizures, and both orders were active. Care plan and medication list were documented as reviewed; continue current medications, management, and interventions. There was no documentation regarding Xcopri not available from the pharmacy and the Resident having missed two doses of the medication. During an interview on September 27, 2023, at 1:45 PM, with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), Director of Nursing (DON), and Employee 3 (Registered Nurse), it was revealed that Xcopri is a controlled medication and requires a prescription. It was also revealed that the pharmacy didn't have the medication in stock and failed to communicate that to the facility. The NHA noted that Resident 240 was ordered and administered Lamictal, which is a medication used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, and Resident 240 was receiving the medication for seizures. The incorrect diagnoses was documented on the physician orders, per hospital discharge summary and the Physician's history and physical. The Lamictal was being administered for seizures. During the interview, Employee 3 stated that there are two local pharmacies that the contract pharmacy should utilize if they don't have a required medication in stock. There is a process in place where the local pharmacies utilize a transportation company to deliver medications to the facility. Review of Employee 2's (Registered Nurse Supervisor) phone statement obtained by the DON, dated September 27, 2023, revealed that he was notified the Xcopri wasn't available for administration on September 23rd, 2023; at which time, he called the pharmacy and then the physician. He obtained the prescription, sent it to the pharmacy, and confirmed the pharmacy received the prescription. He reviewed the process with the night shift supervisor to ensure the appropriate people were notified. It was revealed that on September 24, 2023, the physcian (Employee 1) was in the building and assessed Resident 240. Employee 2 stated he spoke with Employee 1 regarding Resident 240's status and his medication. On September 24, 2023, Employee 2 contacted the pharmacy again, at which point he was told Xcopri wasn't in stock and it would be delivered on September 25th, 2023. During a phone interview with Resident 240's physician, Employee 1, on September 28, 2023, at 10:30 AM, it was revealed he was not notified that the Xcopri was unavailable or that Resident 240 missed two doses. Employee 1 stated that he wouldn't of ordered another medication, his recommendation would've been to send the Xcopri perscription to another pharmacy to obtain the Xcopri as soon as possible. Xcopri prescribing medication guide, revised June 2022, read, in part, withdrawal of Xcopri - advise patients not to discontinue use of Xcopri without consulting with their healthcare provider. Xcopri should normally be gradually withdrawn to reduce the potential for increased seizure frequency and status epilepticus (seizure with 5 minutes or more of continuous clinical and/or electrographic seizure activity or recurrent seizure activity without recovery between seizures). Review of Resident 240's hospital discharge summary dated September 29, 2023, noted that the dislodged PEG tube was not replaced. It also noted that the dislodged PEG tube was likely accident due to fall, there was no documentation about breakthrough seizure prior to arrival {to hospital}. Further review of the discharge summary notes a history of traumatic brain injury/cognitive decline and history of seizure disorder. The hospital physician gave instructions to the facility for Resident 240 to continue taking antiseizure medication because even with medication he is low threshold [more likely] to have a breakthrough seizure because of his previous history of traumatic brain injury. During an interview on September 28, 2023, at 12:00 PM, with the NHA, it was revealed that he would expect pharmacy to contact the facility if a prescribed medication wasn't readily available. Further, the NHA stated if a substitute medication wasn't applicable, the contract pharmacy should utilize a local pharmacy to fulfill the prescription. The pharmacy failed to provide and facility failed to obtain and administer a prescribed seizure medication, which lead to one Resident missing two doses of a seizure medication and having a seizure. 28 Pa.

Findings include: Review of the clinical record for Resident 11 revealed [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of a progress note completed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 2 revealed a note dated February 16, 2016, which stated that Resident 11 had sustained an unwitnessed fall on February 16, 2016 at 11:10 a.m. A nursing note dated February 16, 2016 at 12:00 p.m., revealed that Resident 11 was complaining of pain in the left chest area. A call was placed to the physician and a new order was obtained for an X-ray (image of structure inside the body) of the left clavicle (the bone between the center of the chest and the shoulder). Review of the radiology report (X-ray result) dated February 16, 2016 at 4:19 p.m., revealed that the results were negative for a fracture. The conclusion of the radiology report stated that Resident 11 had, bilateral pleural effusions (excess fluid accumulation around the lungs), recommend chest X-ray. Review of the clavicle X-ray revealed no physician signature that the physician had reviewed the results of the X-ray. Review of the nursing notes revealed a change in condition note entered by Registered Nurse (RN) 1 on February 17, 2016 at 5:30 a.m. The note stated that Resident 11 was found with blood on her pillowcase and upon assessment an open area was found on her left occipital area (lower back part of the skull). The open area was not discovered during the assessment after her fall. Resident 11's blood pressure at the time of the note was 102/32 (a normal blood pressure is 120/80, 102/32 constituted a low blood pressure resulting in an inadequate flow of blood to the body's organs which can cause a stroke, a [MEDICAL CONDITION] or kidney failure). The physician was made aware and a new order for treatment to the wound on the left occipital area (the rear section of the head) area was obtained. Review of the nursing notes dated February 17, 2016 at 11:19 a.m., nearly 20 hours after the first clavicle X-ray results were received, revealed that the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 2 spoke to the physician and he ordered a repeat chest X-ray in one week, an electrolyte panel (a blood test that measures the levels of electrolytes and carbon [MEDICATION NAME] in your blood. Electrolytes are minerals that keep your body's fluids in balance and help keep your body working normally, including your heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and brain function) and [MEDICATION NAME] (a medication to reduce fluid in the body) 40 milligrams (mg), one time a day, for one week. Review of laboratory documentation revealed that on February 18, 2016 at 8:20 a.m., blood was drawn for laboratory testing. Further review of the laboratory documentation revealed abnormal results. The results revealed that Resident 11's carbon [MEDICATION NAME] levels were 20 mM/L (which may indicate kidney or other organ dysfunction - the normal range is 22-30 mM/L). Review of the electrolyte lab (laboratory results) results were not filed in the clinical record and there was no indication that the physician reviewed the abnormal results. Review of a nursing note dated February 22, 2016 at 4:35 a.m., revealed a note from RN 1 which stated that Resident 11's blood pressure was 102/46 and the pulse oximetry was 88% (the amount of oxygen in the blood; normal is 95-100%) and that Resident 11 had +1 [MEDICAL CONDITION] (swelling 2 millimeters (mm) or less) in the left ankle (which may indicate kidney disease or heart failure). Review of the [MEDICATION NAME]-XL (brand name for [MEDICATION NAME] (a medication used to treat high blood pressure)) page from the Premium Version of the Epocrats Online Drug Guide (the medication reference source used by the medication nurses in the facility), which was printed by the facility and provided to the survey team on March 3, 2016, revealed that [MEDICATION NAME] is contraindicated if the systolic (first audible beat of the heart) blood pressure is less than 100.
