Inspection of February 25, 2020
1 findingBased on record reviews and interviews, the facility failed to ensure 2 of 3 sampled residents reviewed for medications were free of significant medication errors (Resident #5 and #6), resulting in a resident requiring transfer to the hospital for emergency evaluation (#5). Findings: 1. On 2/24/20 at 9:00 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON), notified a surveyor that an incident involving a medication error had been reported. The DON stated some of the physician's orders [REDACTED]. As a result, the medications were not ordered and not available from the pharmacy for administration. The DON stated Resident # 5 missed the evening and morning doses of an anticonvulsant, and on the morning of 2/21/20, the resident began experiencing [MEDICAL CONDITION] and was transferred to the emergency room . Upon return to the facility, the DON stated the resident's family member discharged the resident against medical advice. A review of Resident #5's clinical record, noted an admission date of [DATE] from an acute care hospital. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A review of nursing documentation indicated that on 2/21/20, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Resident #5 reported not feeling well and began having [MEDICAL CONDITION]. Staff called 911 and contacted a nurse practitioner. The nurse practitioner ordered staff to administer an injection of [MEDICATION NAME] 2 mg intramuscularly at 11:00 a.m., and the [MEDICAL CONDITION] were noted to stop. Emergency personnel arrived and transferred the resident to the emergency room . On 2/25/20 at 11:50 a.m., in an interview with the surveyor, the DON stated the investigation into the incident revealed a newly hired Registered Nurse (RN) was receiving orientation from an RN employed by a staffing agency. The newly hired nurse was entering the physician orders [REDACTED]. The DON stated when a new order is entered into the computer, it goes into a queue until the order can be verified, then it is 'activated,' and will show up on the resident's MAR (electronic medication administration record). Some orders were done and some were not. It was not communicated to the nurse coming on. He/she was not aware there were some orders still in the queue. On 2/25/20 at 12:35 p.m., in an interview with the surveyor, the RN providing the orientation stated he/she did not review the physician orders [REDACTED]. On 2/25/20 at 12:40 p.m., in an interview with the surveyor, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated that on the evening of 2/21/20, he/she did not know Resident #5 had an order for [REDACTED]. The LPN stated Usually the night shift double checks (the orders). I was on the evening shift. If I have time, I will go in and check the orders. The LPN stated the orienting RN did not communicate that orders remained in the queue. On 2/25/20 at 2:20 p.m., in an interview with the surveyor, Resident #5's family member stated He/she kept asking for his/her medications and they said 'we're waiting for them.' The next day I received a call around 11:30 in the morning saying he/she had a [MEDICAL CONDITION] and was sent to the ED (emergency department). I went to the ED and they said 'Marshwood told us they didn't give him/her (the) pills.' I called Marshwood and the nurse said it was a new nurse who had put it in the computer and didn't activate it. The morning nurse noticed it and activated it. He/she requested the morning meds ASAP and before they got there, he/she had a [MEDICAL CONDITION]. At the hospital, they said 'you had a [MEDICAL CONDITION] because you missed your meds.' The surveyor asked why the family member had discharged Resident #5 from the facility against medical advice. The family member stated them not giving the meds and he/she had to keep asking for them. It didn't feel like anyone even knew he/she was there. On 2/25/20, at approximately 6:00 p.m., the findings were discussed with the Director of Nursing, the Clinical Quality Specialist, and the Vice President of Operations. 2. Resident #6's Physician order [REDACTED]. Resident only received 3 of 5 doses on anti-biotic. Resident #6's Physician order [REDACTED]. Resident #6's Physician order [REDACTED]. On 2/25/20 at 2:45 p.m., during an interview with the Clinical Quality Specialist, a surveyor confirmed Resident #6 should have received the [MEDICATION NAME] for 5 days as prescribed, but only received 3 days worth and that medications are not being given administered as ordered by the Physician.
Inspection of March 30, 2017
1 findingBased on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure that 1 of 3 sampled residents (#1) receiving the medication [MEDICATION NAME], was free from significant medication errors. Finding: Resident #1's physician orders, dated 3/14/17, directed staff to give the resident [MEDICATION NAME] Immediate Release (IR) 20 milligrams (mg) by mouth every 4 hours as needed for pain, and to give [MEDICATION NAME] Extended Release (ER, [MEDICATION NAME]) 40 mg by mouth twice a day. On 3/30/17, a review of the facility's bound narcotic count book indicated that a dose of [MEDICATION NAME] ER 40 mg was given on 3/15/17 at 1:35 a.m., and on 3/15/17 at 5:30 a.m. The resident received a regularly scheduled dose of [MEDICATION NAME] ER 40 mg on 3/15/17 at 8:30 a.m. This resulted in medication errors when the resident received the extended release [MEDICATION NAME] twice, rather than the immediate release [MEDICATION NAME]. On 3/30/17 at 12:50 p.m., the findings were confirmed by the Director of Nursing.
Inspection of July 20, 2012
1 findingBased on record review, review of incident reports and interviews, the facility failed to assess, care plan and implement interventions to assist in preventing falls for 1 of 4 sampled residents with falls (#4). This failure contributed to the resident experiencing 7 falls between 6/5/12 through 7/2/12, and ultimately sustaining a fractured humerus. Finding: Resident #4's admission Minimal Data Set, Version 3.0 (MDS) assessment, dated 6/4/12, was coded, (in section H0300), to indicate the resident was occasionally incontinent of urine and required the assistance of one staff to toilet using a rolling walker. The admission MDS assessment also was coded, (in Section JI1800), to indicate the resident had fallen multiple times prior to admission while at a hospice home. The resident's "Care Area Assessment" (CAA) form indicated the resident triggered for further assessment in the areas of urinary incontinence and falls. The resident's clinical record lacked evidence of further assessment of the residents urinary incontinence, with a three day continence management diary to determine if the residents voiding patterns, could be maintain or if pattens could be established to assist staff in anticipating the resident's need to use the bathroom. The resident's incident reports, dated 6/5/12; 6/8/12, 6/11/12, 6/15/12, 6/25/12, 7/1/12 and 7/2/12 at 11:30 PM and 7/2/12 at 3:00 am indicated that the resident had experienced 7 falls in the last month. The incident reports indicated that for 5 of the 7 falls, the resident was attempting to toilet him/herself and had fallen. On 7/19/12 at 11:20 AM, in an interview with a surveyor, the Director of Nursing confirmed that there was not a complete continence assessment with a voiding pattern for this resident. Resident #4's care plan did not indicate that the resident had a history of [REDACTED]. The Hospice assessment recommended keeping the resident's bed in the lowest position and recommended observing the resident at least every 60 minutes and to increase monitoring to every 15 minutes checks if needed. Review of incident accident report indicated the resident had fallen seven times between 6/5/12 and 7/2/12. On 6/12/12 (seven days after the hospice recommendations were made), the resident's care plan, under the area of at risk for falls was updated to reflect the intervention of keeping the resident's bed in the lowest position and using floor mats. There was no evidence that the facility updated the resident's care plan after each of the residents falls and the care plan continued to indicate the resident was at risk for falls instead of the resident having actual falls. An incident report, dated 7/3/12 at 1:30 PM, indicated Resident #4 had "crawled out of bed," was found lying on his/her back and sustained a skin tear. On 6/8/12 at 10:30 AM, an incident report indicated the resident was found "sitting on the floor" at the foot of the bed. On 6/11/12 at 5:45 AM, the resident was found sitting on the floor in front of his/her closet. The incident reports did not indicate if the resident's bed was in the low position or if fall mats were used. The resident's nursing notes and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) documentation forms did not indicate if the low bed and mats were being used. On 7/20/12, during an interview with a surveyor, a CNA stated that she had not used mats or put the bed in low positions until just a few days before the resident was transferred to the hospital. The CNA indicated the kardex would have the interventions listed that the CNAs would use to provide care for a resident. An incident report, dated 7/3/12 at 1:30 PM, indicated the resident had crawled out of bed, because he/she was attempting to go to the rest room. The resident had fallen and was noted to have a skin tear. A progress note, dated 7/3/12 at 11:26 PM, indicated that this was a follow up not to the resident's falls within the past 48 hours and that the resident was at the hospitals having x-rays for a fractured right humerus. The facility's failure to assess, care plan and implement interventions to prevent falls contributed to the resident falling and sustaining a fractured humerus. On 7/20/12 at 11:30 PM, a surveyor discussed this finding with the Registered Nurse, Manager.
Inspection of October 14, 2010
2 findingsBased on record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure that physician's orders and plans of care were followed for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1). The facility's failure to follow the physician's orders, resulted in an aspiration pneumonia requiring hospitalization , and hospital admission records attributed the pneumonia to the resident being provided thin liquids. Findings: Resident #1 had a physician's order, dated 5/3/10, for nectar thick liquids. The resident's care plan indicated that the resident had impaired swallowing and was to receive nectar thick consistency liquids as ordered. The resident's clinical record contained a Speech Therapy evaluation and Dietary evaluations which indicated that the resident needed nectar thick liquids as well. Additionally, the surveyor noted that the resident's Medication Reference Sheet, (a form used by the CNA-M to ensure proper identification of the resident and specific, individualized, instructions for how to administer the resident's medications) indicated that Resident #1 was to receive his/her medications whole, one at a time and with thickened water. A nurse's note dated, 5/14/10 at 8:42 a.m., indicated that the nurse observed a Certified Nursing Assistant- Medications (CNA-M) give thin liquid (water) to Resident #1; the nurse documented that a respiratory assessment was done and that they would continue to monitor the resident. A nurse's note, dated 5/15/10 at 8:17 a.m., indicated that the resident had complained of coughing during the night and had fine crackles in the right lower lung along with a wet, non-productive cough, but a normal temperature. A nurse's note, dated 5/15/10 at 12:58 p.m., indicated that the resident had spiked an oral temperature of 101.0 Fahrenheit, and that the resident's oxygen saturation level would go down when the resident talked or tried to walk. The clinical record indicated that the resident was sent to the hospital on [DATE]; hospital admission documents indicated that the resident was admitted for aspiration pneumonia which was attributed to being provided thin liquids on 5/14/10. The surveyor discussed this finding in an interview with the Director of Nurses, on 10/14/10 at 2:35 p.m.
Based on record review, and interviews, the facility failed to provide interventions outlined in the resident's care plan for thickened liquids for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1). Finding: Resident #1's care plan indicated that the resident had impaired swallowing and was to receive nectar thick consistency liquids as ordered. A nurse's note, dated 5/14/10 at 8:42 a.m., indicated that the nurse observed a Certified Nursing Assistant - Medications (CNA-M) give thin liquid (water) to Resident#1. The surveyor noted that the resident's Medication Reference Sheet (a form used by the CNA-M to ensure proper identification of the resident and specific, individualized, instructions for how to administer the resident's medications) indicated that Resident #1 was to receive his/her medications whole, one at a time and with thickened water. Subsequent nurses notes indicated that the resident's respiratory status was monitored closely after being provided the water by the CNA-M on 5/14/10. On 5/15/10, the resident was sent to the hospital for evaluation due to a change in condition which the hospital admission records indicated was due to an aspiration pneumonia attributed to the resident being provided water on 5/14/10. The surveyor discussed this finding in an interview with the Director of Nurses, on 10/14/10 at 2:35 p.m.
