Findings include: Consultant pharmacist reports dated July 2, 2024, and October 4, 2024, listed numerous residents who were reviewed during the visits but did not require any recommendations. Resident 13 was not listed in either report. Resident 13's clinical record did not include evidence that a consultant pharmacist reviewed her medication regimen in July 2024, or October 2024. Resident 13's clinical record did not contain a report from the consultant pharmacist for July 2024, or October 2024. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on February 5, 2025, at 3:16 PM revealed that the facility did not have a report of the consultant pharmacist's recommendations for July 2, 2024, or October 4, 2024. The interview confirmed that since Resident 13's name was not listed among the residents on the available July 2024, or October 2024 reports, she should have had a recommendation forwarded to her physician for those months. The facility failed to ensure that the consultant pharmacist documented on a separate, written report that was sent to the attending physician, and that the physician documented in Resident 13's medical record that the identified irregularity was reviewed, and what, if any, action was taken to address it, for the months of July 2024, and October 2024. 28 Pa.

Based on a review of select facility policies and procedures, clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a medication error rate below five percent (Residents 2 and 14). Findings include: The facility's medication error rate was eight percent based on 25 medication opportunities with two medication errors. The facility policy entitled, Administering Medications, last reviewed without changes on December 31, 2024, indicated that medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders. Each nurses' station has a current Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) and/or other medication reference, as well as a copy of the surveyor guidance for pharmacy services available. Manufacturer's instructions or users' manuals related to any medication administration devices are kept with the devices or at the nurses' station. The facility policy entitled, Insulin Administration, last reviewed without changes on December 31, 2024, revealed the nursing staff would have access to specific instructions (from the manufacturer if appropriate) on all forms of insulin delivery systems prior to their use. There was no reference to the administration of insulin via single-patient-use prefilled pens that would include the appropriate technique for priming the disposable needle before use. Clinical record review for Resident 2 revealed an active physician's order for staff to administer two units of Insulin Aspart with Niacinamide (Fiasp FlexTouch, a disposable single-patient-use prefilled pen containing insulin, an injectable hormone used to lower blood sugar) before meals when the blood glucose assessment (small sample of blood obtained via a finger prick is placed on a test strip and read by a glucose meter device) is within the range of 151 to 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). Manufacturer's instructions for the Fiasp FlexTouch pen stipulate that the user is to prime the pen before each injection. After application of a disposable needle, step seven of the instructions notes to turn the dose selector to select two units. Step eight instructs to hold the pen with the needle pointing up and tap the top of the pen gently a few times to let any air bubbles rise to the top. Step nine instructs to hold the pen with the needle pointing up and press and hold in the dose button until the dose counter shows zero. Step ten, dose selection, instructs to check to make sure the dose selector is set at zero and turn the dose selector to select the number of units you need to inject. Observation of a medication administration pass on February 4, 2025, at 11:57 AM revealed Employee 1 (licensed practical nurse, LPN) prepared medications for administration for Resident 2. Employee 1 obtained a blood glucose assessment of 199 mg/dL. Employee 1 obtained a Fiasp Flextouch insulin pen and a disposable needle from the medication cart. Employee 1 applied the needle to the tip of the Fiasp Flextouch pen and dialed one unit to prime the needle (returning the reading on the window of the pen to zero). Employee 1, then, dialed two units for administration to Resident 2. Employee 1 did not prime the needle with two units of insulin before preparing the physician ordered dose of two units. Employee 1 entered Resident 2's room and administered the insulin medication into Resident 2's right upper arm. Clinical record review for Resident 14 revealed an active physician's order for staff to administer Polyethylene Glycol (laxative to stimulate bowel movements), 3350 oral powder, 17 grams per scoop; give one scoop by mouth in the afternoon for constipation, mix in four to eight ounces of fluid. Instructions on the Polyethylene Glycol container inform the user to use the cap of the container, fill powder to the top of the cap, to obtain a dose of 17 grams. Continued observation of the medication administration pass on February 4, 2025, at 1:10 PM, revealed Employee 1 prepared Polyethylene Glycol for Resident 14. Employee 1 used a plastic medication cup to determine how much of the medication powder to administer. Employee 1 stated that her goal was to fill the medication cup to just over 15 milliliters. Employee 1 did not use the cap of the Polyethylene Glycol container to measure the dose. Employee 1 mixed the powder in water, entered Resident 14's room, and administered the medication to Resident 14. Interview with Employee 1 on February 4, 2025, at 2:25 PM confirmed that she primed Resident 2's insulin needle with only one unit of insulin. Employee 1 did not have a Fiasp FlexTouch pen package insert or the manufacturer's instructions to know that the proper priming technique required two units. Observation of Resident 14's Polyethylene Glycol container instructions with Employee 1 confirmed that the user is to use the container cap to measure 17 grams of the medication. Employee 1 verified that if she used the medication container cap versus a plastic medication cup, Resident 14 would have received more of the medication powder.

Based on a review of select facility policies and procedures, clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure medication was labeled in accordance with accepted professional standards for one of 16 residents reviewed for medication administration (Resident 14). Findings include: The facility policy entitled, Administering Medications, last reviewed without changes on December 31, 2024, indicated that medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders. The individual administering the medication checks the label three times to verify the right resident, right medication, right dosage, right time, and right method (route) of administration before giving the medication. Clinical record review for Resident 14 revealed an active physician's order for staff to administer Clonazepam (used to control and prevent seizures) oral disintegrating tablet 0.5 milligrams (mg), one tablet by mouth two times a day and two tablets by mouth in the afternoon. Observation of the medication administration pass on February 4, 2025, at 1:10 PM revealed Employee 1 (licensed practical nurse) prepared the Clonazepam 0.5 mg medication for Resident 14. Employee 1 poured two tablets of the Clonazepam medication for administration. The label on the medication instructed staff to administer one tablet by mouth twice daily; and two tablets by mouth at bedtime. Interview with Employee 1 on February 4, 2025, at 2:25 PM confirmed that the Clonazepam label instructed staff to administer one tablet twice a day and two tablets at bedtime; however, that did not agree with the active physician's order for Resident 14. Employee 1 confirmed that the label indicated that the pharmacy filled 30 tablets of this medication on January 24, 2025, and there were 23 tablets available on the date and time of the observation (seven tablets had been administered from this medication supply before Employee 1 removed two additional tablets).

Based on clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to assist residents to obtain routine dental care for two of two residents reviewed (Residents 4 and 3). Findings include: Observation of Resident 4 on February 4, 2025, at 11:42 AM revealed he had several broken and missing teeth. Resident 4 was unable to be interviewed due to his cognitive status. Clinical record review revealed the facility admitted him on February 23, 2024. Review of Resident 4's admission MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated February 29, 2024, revealed staff assessed Resident 4 as having no obvious or likely cavity or broken natural teeth. Further review of Resident 4's clinical record revealed nursing documentation dated January 26, 2025, at 1:54 PM noting Resident 4 reports that he broke a tooth today in the right upper front of his mouth. A tooth was noted to be broken in the front side of Resident 4's mouth. Nursing documentation dated January 27, 2025, at 7:15 AM revealed the Director of Nursing assessed Resident 4's mouth due to the broken tooth. The Director of Nursing noted Resident 4's teeth were obviously decayed. Nursing documentation dated January 30, 2025, at 9:47 PM revealed the registered nurse spoke to Resident 4's wife about his broken tooth. Resident 4's wife stated it was in Resident 4's upper left side of his mouth. His wife stated he does have a tooth on the right side that is broken off, but his wife stated that wasn't new. Further review of Resident 4's clinical record revealed he saw the dentist for a comprehensive assessment on October 7, 2024. There was no documentation that Resident 4 received any prophylactic cleanings of his teeth by a dental hygienist since admission. The facility provided no evidence that Resident 4 received routine prophylactic dental cleanings in the past year as covered under the State plan. Interview with the Director of Nursing on February 6, 2025, at 12:45 PM confirmed these findings. Observation of Resident 3 on February 4, 2025, at 1:51 PM revealed that she had discolored, possibly broken, and missing teeth. Interview with Resident 3 on the date and time of the observation revealed that she believed that she had a tooth that needed pulled (extracted). Clinical record review for Resident 3 revealed progress note documentation by the facility's consultant dentist dated July 29, 2024, that indicated Resident 3 had two non-restorable teeth that was recommended for extraction as needed, and Resident 3 had partial dentition. Progress note documentation by the facility's consultant dental hygienist dated September 4, 2024, indicated that Resident 3 received adult prophylaxis (professional dental cleaning). An annual MDS dated [DATE], identified that Resident 3 had obvious, or likely, cavities or broken natural teeth, and the assessment triggered the need for a care plan. A plan of care initiated by the facility on March 24, 2020, to address Resident 3's dental or oral cavity health problem related to possible carious/broken teeth listed interventions that included refer to the dentist/hygienist annually and as needed.
