F329G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure that one (#1) of three sampled residents received only those medications prescribed by their physician. This caused harm to the resident. This had the potential to affect all 112 residents residing in the facility. Findings: Resident #1 had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The residents quarterly assessment, dated 09/07/14, documented the resident was moderately impaired, did not ambulate, required extensive assist with transfers, dressing, eating, personal hygiene and she was totally dependent for toileting. A nurse's note, dated 08/17/14, documented the resident was transported to a local hospital emergency room (ER) due to a high blood pressure and greenish colored fluid coming from her feeding tube. At 12:30 p.m., a nurse's note documented at 11:00 a.m., an employee from the local ER contacted the facility to speak with the registered nurse on duty because the resident had on a [MEDICATION NAME] (narcotic pain medication) and the resident had no physician's orders for it. At 12:45 p.m., a nurse's note documented an employee from the local ER stated the resident had a [MEDICATION NAME] 50 mcg (micrograms), located on her chest and the patch was initialed by an agency nurse who had worked at the facility on 08/16/14 at 1:00 p.m. The resident's respiration's were 2 breaths a minute. The [MEDICATION NAME] was removed and [MEDICATION NAME] (a reversal drug used to counteract the effects of narcotics) was given. The resident had to be resuscitated. At 1:30 p.m. a nurse's note documented they received a call from the emergency room to transfer the resident back to the facility. The report given by the ER said the resident was to have no narcotics for 48 hours. On 08/17/14, a medication error report was filled out by a facility registered nurse. It documented the agency nurse worked on 08/16/14, and signed out the [MEDICATION NAME] 50 mcg for the roommate of resident #1. On 09/30/14 at 11:00 a.m., the director of nurses (DON) was interviewed and asked about what their resident identification system was. She stated the nurses were supposed to identify the residents by their photo in their chart. She stated the agency nurse had not looked at the residents photo to correctly identify her. At 2:45 p.m., the DON stated a narcotic count of the resident's roommate's [MEDICATION NAME]es had been conducted and was off by one.
