These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving the desired therapeutic effect of their medications, and adverse reactions such as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hospitalization . Findings Included: Resident #37 Record review of Resident #37's Face Sheet dated 04/24/23 revealed. a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of: high blood pressure, acute kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. Record review of Resident #37's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed, use of corrective lenses, severely impaired cognition as indicated by a BIMS score of 04 out of 15, extensive assistance with most ADLs and always incontinent of both bladder and bowel.

Record review of Resident #37's Physician's Order dated 04/21/23 revealed, Basaglar Insulin 100 unit/mL- Inject 18 units under the skin one time a day. Record review of Resident #37's Physician's Order dated 02/16/23 revealed, HumaLOG insulin- inject as per sliding scale under the skin two times a day. If 70-249 = 0 units, 250-350 = 5 units, call MD/NP if blood sugar is greater than 350. An observation and interview on 04/24/23 at 07:20 AM revealed, LVN A preparing for insulin administration to Resident #37. He took his blood glucose (sugar) testing supplies into Resident #37's room and measured her blood sugar which resulted in 249 mg/dL. LVN A informed Resident #37 of her blood sugar, exited the resident's room, discarded the testing supplies and then cleaned the glucose meter. LVN A said since Resident #37's BG was 249 mg/dL he would not administer the sliding scale HumaLOG but he would administer Resident #37's long acting Basaglar Insulin. LVN A then retrieved an Insulin Lispro (HumaLOG) insulin pen labeled for Resident #37 from his nursing cart, cleaned the rubber septum, attached a pen needle, dialed 18 units on the pen, closed his cart, knocked on Resident #37's door frame and proceeded to enter into Resident #37's room to administer the 18 units of HumaLOG. Right after LVN A knocked on Resident #37's door frame and as he stepped into the resident's room the surveyor stopped LVN A, asked him what medication he was about to administer and LVN A said Basaglar. The surveyor alerted him to the wrong medication he selected HumaLOG instead of Basaglar. LVN A said prior to medication administration nursing staff are expected to double check the medication being administered against the EMR but he must have read it incorrectly. LVN A said if he had administered fast acting HumaLOG to Resident #37 the medication would have dropped the resident's blood sugar too low and failure to administer the long acting Insulin would have resulted in Resident #37's blood sugar being inadequately controlled over the duration of the day. LVN A said Resident #37's Basaglar was not in the cart, so he would have to retrieve it from the med room in order to administer it. Resident #159 Record review of Resident #159's Face Sheet dated 04/24/23 revealed, an [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included: bacterial skin infection, depression, hypertension, generalized muscle weakness and age-related physical debility.

LVN A said she did not administer Hydrocodone scheduled for 06:00 AM to Resident #159 because it was not available and she would contact her nurse to determine what further action to take. In an interview on 04/24/23 at 11:45 AM, MA A said that Multivitamins and Multivitamins w/ minerals are not the same and the products are not interchangeable. She said Resident #159 was supposed to receive 1 tablet of a Multivitamin with Minerals but she grabbed the wrong bottle. She said failure to administer medication as ordered could place residents at risk for adverse reactions or over supplementation. In an interview on 04/24/23 at 01:15 PM, MA A said she administered 500 mg of Calcium Carbonate to Resident #159 instead of 600 mg because there was no 600 mg available in the facility. She said when OTC medications/supplements are not available, MAs are required to notify their nurse who then contacts the physician to receive an order for an alternative of the unavailable medication. MA A said she notified the facility staff responsible for ordering the correct Calcium supplement but could not confirm if she notified her nurse.

She retrieved 1 tablet of Multivitamin w/ Minerals and 3 other dietary supplements, entered into the resident's room, and administered the medications. In an interview on 04/24/23 at 11:30 AM, MA B said prior to preparing medication for administration, staff must verify the patient identifiers, and the medications against the MAR. She said she administered Multivitamin w/ Minerals to both Resident #16 and Resident #6 and she did not know if there was a difference between Multivitamin w/ Minerals and Multivitamins. MA B said she believed they were interchangeable but she would confirm with her DON. MA B said she failure to administer medications as ordered could place residents at risk for upset stomach or over supplementation. In an interview on 04/24/23 at 11:50 AM, the DON said prior to administering medications nursing staff must verify the patient identifiers and then the MAR against the medication blister pack for the right dose, route and frequency. She said Multivitamins and Multivitamins with Minerals are not the same thing, and not interchangeable. The DON said HumaLOG was a fast acting insulin meant to control anticipated blood sugar increases as a result of meals, and Basaglar was a long acting insulin meant to control blood sugars over a longer period of time.

CMA A retrieved a bottle of Artificial Tears, [MEDICATION(S)]-[MEDICATION(S)] (25-250 mg) 1 tablet, [MEDICATION(S)] 100mg 1 tablet, [MEDICATION(S)] 500 mg 1 tablet, Aspirin 81 mg 1 tablet, [MEDICATION(S)] SR 100 mg 1 tablet, [MEDICATION(S)] 10 mg 1 tablet, [MEDICATION(S)] Sulfate (iron) 325 mg 1 tablet, [MEDICATION(S)] 5 mg 1 tablet, Multivitamin with Minerals 1 tablet, [MEDICATION(S)] 1.5 mg 1 tablet, [MEDICATION(S)] 25 mg1 tablet, Acetaminophen 500 mg 1 tablet, Zinc Sulfate 220 mg 1 tablet and 17 grams of [MEDICATION(S)]. She crushed all the tablets and opened the capsules and mixed them with pudding in an administration cup. CNA A mixed the 17 grams of [MEDICATION(S)] into a cup of 4-6 ounces of water. At 08:50 AM CNA A entered into Resident #35's room placed the cup of [MEDICATION(S)] mixed with water on Resident #35's bed side tray and informed him she would be administering his medications; she did not inform him that the cup was water that contained PEG. CNA A administered the crushed medications mixed with pudding to Resident #35 and the resident used the cup of stool softener to rinse his mouth, he did not drink the balance of the stool softener . CNA A put on a pair of gloves and attempted to administer the eye drop to the resident. She tilted the resident's head back slightly, held his bottom eyelid and positioned the eye drop above the resident's upper eyelid. CNA A instilled 1 drop which hit the resident's right upper eye lid, the medication did not enter his eye and ran down his face. The CNA wiped the liquid off Resident #35's face and then attempted to administer the medication to his left eye. CNA A titled the Resident #35's head back, held the resident's upper and lower left eye lid and instilled a drop which hit the resident's upper eyelid and only a small portion entered the resident's eye while the rest ran down his face. After administering the eye drops CNA A walked away to wash her hands and Resident #35 poured the balance of the [MEDICATION(S)] dissolved in water into his water jug, the resident did not drink the balance of the PEG before CNA A walked out of the resident's room, ending medication administration and documented the administration of the medication to Resident #35. In an interview on 02/09/21 at 08:55 AM, CNA A said that extended release medications should not be crushed because they release medication in the system over a longer period of time and that crushing that kind of medication altered the release pattern of extended release medications. She said Resident #35 required all his medications to be crushed and she had not noticed that his [MEDICATION(S)] SR 100 mg was an extended release medication. CNA A said since the resident could not swallow medication and the extended release medication could not be crushed, she would contact Resident #35's physician to see if his prescription could be changed to a liquid or immediate release formula. CNA A said she did not notice Resident #35 did not finish his PEG because the resident normally finishes his fluids. She said she should have informed the resident that the water contained his stool softener, prompted him to continue drinking and she should have observed him until he finished the solution. CNA A said Resident #35 had a tight neck and was unable to tilt his head further back and this in addition to his fear of eyedrops made it difficult to administer eye drops to him. She said that she should have alerted his nurse about the failure to administer the full dose of PEG and artificial tears and then attempted to administer the medication again. In an interview on 02/10/22 at 12:30 PM, the DON said that prior to medication administration nursing staff should first verify the medication against the MAR and double check the resident against the MAR. Once medication is prepared, nursing staff should enter into the resident room and introduce themselves informing the resident of the medication that will be administered. She said that nursing staff should administer the medication and remain with the resident to confirm the medication is swallowed or in the case of liquid medications, the volume is finished. The DON extended/sustained release medication should not be crushed because it would interfere with how the medication is distributed in the body and that any medication that is not administered correctly should be marked as so in the MAR and the physician should be contacted for any discrepancies. She said failure to administer the correct volume of medication places residents at risk of inadequate therapy and adverse events. Record review of CNA A's Medication Pass Observation competency assessment dated [DATE] revealed: 6- Medication Pass, a. Staff informs resident what medication is for. 7- Medication Preparation, a.
