F759D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure it was free of a medication error rate of greater than 5 percent (%) for 2 of 4 residents observed during the medication pass observation for 2 medication errors in a total of 29 total opportunities for error in medication administration. This resulted in a medication error rate of 6.89%. (Residents C and D, and LPN 3 and RN 6) Findings include:1. During 1 of 4 medication pass observations with 4 residents and 5 facility staff members, LPN 3 was observed to prepare the morning medications for Resident C on 8-25-26 at 9:37 a.m. During the process of LPN 3 preparing the medications, he was queried regarding adding 2 different preparations of a medication by the same name, specifically nifedipine extended release (used for control of high blood pressure and chest pain) 30 milligrams (mg) 2 pills and nifedipine extended release osmotic 60 mg 1 pill, as to the accuracy of the medication order. LPN 3 indicated this was how Resident C's medications were ordered and continued to prepare the medications for the resident. Upon review of Resident C's medication orders, the physician orders indicated the following: Nifedipine ER [extended release] Oral Tablet Extended Release 24 Hour 60 MG Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for angina [chest pain], ordered on 8-19-26. In an interview with the Corporate Nurse on 8-26-26 at 10:50 a.m., she indicated she had spoken with LPN 3 and he recalled he had only administered the single pill of the 60 mg dose of Nifedipine.In an interview with Resident C on 8-26-26 at 10:35 a.m., he indicated he was admitted to the facility about 1 week prior. He added he was not entirely sure, but he may have not received his medications for one morning, but was unsure of the exact date, as he had been asleep.In an interview with the Corporate Nurse on 8-26-26 at 2:45 p.m., she indicated it has been confusing as to exactly why the resident received the card of the 60 mg doses and the card for the 30 mg doses, in addition to a roll-pack of 60 mg doses. After looking at this, it appears the card of the [30 mg] 8 pills [4 doses[ [received]on 8-19-26, and the card of 3 pills or 3 doses of the 60 mg strength [received] on 8-20-26, in addition to the 7-day roll-pack [received on 8-22-26, which included his other medications for the morning medicine], there may have been some confusion as to which medications to give for the order of Nifedipine ER 60 mg once daily. After reviewing this, there was a chance that he may not have received his morning meds on 8-19-26, even though they are documented as given. The Corporate Nurse identified the current supply of Nifedipine ER included a card of 30 mg ER pills of 8 tablets, or 4 doses, received on 8-19-26, with 2 pills or 1 dose missing and 6 pills or 3 doses remaining and a card of 60 mg ER pills of 3 tablets or 3 doses, received on 8-20-26 with 2 pills or 2 doses missing and 1 pill or 1 dose remaining. The roll-pack, which included all of the medications Resident C was to receive for a 7-day period, was received on 8-22-26, but was not specified as to how much remained.2. During 1 of 4 medication pass observations with 4 residents and 5 facility staff members, RN 6 was observed to prepare a dose of a Novolog Flexpen [type of injectible delivery device for insulin] for administration to Resident D on 8-25-26 at 11:45 a.m. RN 6 was observed to ready the medication for administration, locate the resident in the dining room and inform the resident she was going to administer the insulin. RN 6 was observed to administer the insulin into the left lower quadrant of Resident D's abdomen, with other residents present in the dining room. After the insulin was injected, RN 6 was observed to immediately remove the needle from Resident D's abdomen, without any wait period. In an interview with RN 6 at 11:50 a.m., she indicated she was uncertain as to what the facility's policy regarding administering injections in the dining room were. RN 6 explained she normally waits for a count of 5 or 5 seconds before she withdraws the needle of a flexpen to allow all the medication to exit the pen and for some reason did not do that with this injection.On 8-25-26 at 4:29 p.m., the ED provided a copy of an undated policy entitled, Medication Administration.

F755D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were administered as ordered by the attending physician or nurse practitioner, to ensure controlled substances were documented on the narcotic log, to ensure a certified medication aide (a qualified medication assistant or QMA) notified a licensed nurse of potential for administration of a controlled substance prior to its administration and to ensure nursing staff followed the facility's procedure and the manufacturer's recommendations for the use of a medical device used for delivery of a diabetic medication. (Residents B, C and D, LPN 3, QMA 4, LPN 5 and RN 6) Findings include:1. During 1 of 4 medication pass observations with 4 residents and 5 facility staff members, LPN 3 was observed to prepare the morning medications for Resident C on 8-25-26 at 9:37 a.m. During the process of LPN 3 preparing the medications, he was queried regarding adding 2 different preparations of a medication by the same name, specifically nifedipine extended release (used for control of high blood pressure and chest pain) 30 milligrams (mg) 2 pills and nifedipine extended release osmotic 60 mg 1 pill, as to the accuracy of the medication order. LPN 3 specified this was how Resident C's medications were ordered and continued to prepare the medications for the resident. Upon review of Resident C's medication orders, the physician orders indicated the following: Nifedipine ER [extended release] Oral Tablet Extended Release 24 Hour 60 MG Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for angina [chest pain], ordered on 8-19-26. In an interview with the Corporate Nurse on 8-26-26 at 10:50 a.m., she indicated she had spoken with LPN 3 and he recalled he had only administered the single pill of the 60 mg dose of Nifedipine.In an interview with Resident C on 8-26-26 at 10:35 a.m., he indicated he was admitted to the facility about 1 week prior. He added he was not entirely sure, but he may have not received his medications for one morning, but was unsure of the exact date, as he had been asleep.In an interview with the Corporate Nurse on 8-26-26 at 2:45 p.m., she indicated it had been confusing as to exactly why the resident received the card of the 60 mg doses and the card for the 30 mg doses, in addition to a roll-pack of 60 mg doses. After looking at this, it appears the card of the [30 mg] 8 pills [4 doses[ [received]on 8-19-26, and the card of 3 pills or 3 doses of the 60 mg strength [received] on 8-20-26, in addition to the 7-day roll-pack [received on 8-22-26, which included his other medications for the morning medicine], there may have been some confusion as to which medications to give for the order of Nifedipine ER 60 mg once daily. After reviewing this, there was a chance that he may not have received his morning meds on 8-19-26, even though they are documented as given. The Corporate Nurse identified the current supply of Nifedipine ER included a card of 30 mg ER pills of 8 tablets, or 4 doses, received on 8-19-26, with 2 pills or 1 dose missing and 6 pills or 3 doses remaining and a card of 60 mg ER pills of 3 tablets or 3 doses, received on 8-20-26 with 2 pills or 2 doses missing and 1 pill or 1 dose remaining. The roll-pack, which included all of the medications Resident C was to receive for a 7-day period, was received on 8-22-26, but was not specified as to how much remained.2. In an interview with the Executive Director (ED) on 8-25-26 at 12:25 p.m., he indicated Resident B had recently been identified as having a significant medical decline related to metastatic cancer (cancer that had spread), was receiving end of life care and had returned to the facility on 8-4-26 after a recent hospitalization. He indicated she had been physician-ordered to receive pain medication of Morphine 20 mg/5ml (milliliters) strength and to administer 2.5 ml, or 10 mg, every 4 hours as needed for pain. He indicated during the early morning hours of 8-5-26, QMA 4 administered Resident B a dose of Morphine around 4:00 a.m. or 5:00 a.m. The ED clarified QMA 4 had informed him she had pulled up the full dose of 2.5 ml into the syringe, but had only given about 1 ml of it because Resident B started coughing and this was identified as a change in condition by QMA 4 and she stopped administering the medication. The ED indicated QMA 4 was not sure exactly how much of the morphine the resident retained. He voiced QMA 4 indicated she notified the licensed nurse on duty as the resident seemed more lethargic. The nurse [LPN 5] notified our telemedicine doctor and was told to give her Narcan [an opioid antagonist, used to rapidly reverse the effects of an opioid medication] due to her becoming more lethargic and to send her out to the hospital for further evaluation. She ended up getting 2 doses of the Narcan by the time the EMS [emergency medical staff] got to the facility. The nurse questioned the dosage of the morphine because our nurses were not used to giving such large doses of morphine. She did find out the order was for the 2.5 ml, so that was not a medication error at all because she was not able to administer the full dose. The ED shared Resident B remained at the hospital and passed away on 8-5-26. In an interview with LPN 5 on 8-25-26 at 8:08 p.m., she indicated she was contacted by QMA 4 on 8-5-26, around 4:00 a.m. or 5:00 a.m., and said she had given the resident a dose of morphine because she seemed very uncomfortable and was moaning out loudly, but had only given a partial dose of it because when she had starting giving it to her, the resident started coughing real bad. LPN 5 indicated when she checked the order, it kind of worried me because it was for 2.5 ml's. I had never seen a dose that large for that strength of morphine before. I immediately called the on-call doctor, the telehealth doctor, and he ordered for me to give her Narcan and I ended up giving her 2 doses and it didn't seem to make a difference .I had given the 2 doses of Narcan by the time EMS arrived and took over. Our [name of the electronic health records system] would not allow the QMA's to enter narrative notes in the chart and when a prn [as needed and not routinely administered medication] was given, [the name of the electronic health records system] automatically prompts you to enter a note about it. So, this meant the licensed nurse had to document the prn medication as given, even though the QMA actually administered it. However, the QMA documents what he or she gave on the narcotic log. LPN 5 did not know the QMA did not fill out the narcotic log. The QMA did not let LPN 5 know about her giving the prn morphine until after she had already given it. My understanding was the QMA's were supposed to notify the licensed nurse before they actually gave it.An interview with QMA 4 was unable to be accomplished, despite multiple attempts to speak with her. A written statement from QMA 4, dated 8-6-26, indicated she notified LPN 5, that I needed to administer a PRN dose of Morphine to [name of Resident B]. I verified the dose and began to administer then stopped after 1ml due to patient coughing .I ensured she was breathing and comfortable and quickly went to get [name of LPN 5] .[name of LPN 5] arrived and took over and contacted [name of telehealth company].In an interview with the ED on 8-26-26 at 3:01 p.m., he indicated after more details and concerns were brought to the attention to him and the Corporate nurse this morning regarding the situation with Resident B's morphine dosing on the morning of 8-4-26, he spoke with QMA 4 this morning. He shared QMA 4's initial statement said she had notified the nurse on duty prior to giving the morphine. However, when he addressed if she had spoken to the nurse on duty about receiving permission to administer a prn, she didn't really give us a response. He indicated the facility provided education immediately with her regarding QMA's were to receive permission from a licensed nurse to give a prn medication before it was given and the reason it was being given.3. During 1 of 4 medication pass observations with 4 residents and 5 facility staff members, RN 6 was observed to prepare a dose of a Novolog Flexpen [type of injectible delivery device for insulin] for administration to Resident D on 8-25-26 at 11:45 a.m. RN 6 was observed to ready the medication for administration, locate the resident in the dining room and inform the resident she was going to administer the insulin.

After the insulin was injected, RN 6 was observed to immediately remove the needle from Resident D's abdomen, without any wait period. In an interview with RN 6 at 11:50 a.m., she indicated she was uncertain as to what the facility's policy was regarding administering injections in the dining room are. RN 6 explained she normally waits for a count of 5 or 5 seconds before she withdraws the needle of a flexpen to allow all the medication to exit the pen and for some reason did not do that with this injection.On 8-25-26 at 4:29 p.m., the ED provided a copy of an undated policy entitled, Medication Administration. This policy indicated, It is the policy of this facility to provide resident-centered care that meets the psychosocial, physical and emotional needs and concerns of the residents.
