During an annual survey the following deficient practice was found to be Immediate Jeopardy: 1) R #3 had received an extra dose of [MEDICATION NAME] (anticoagulant medication) after already receiving a first dose that day from (MONTH) 22, (YEAR) -November 27, (YEAR); then again on (MONTH) 29, (YEAR). 2) IDON confirmed that the nurse taking new order on (MONTH) 21, (YEAR) did not discontinue old order. 3) No education or in-servicing had been given to nursing staff giving anticoagulation medication regarding discontinuation of medication upon receiving new orders from physicians. 4) Upon receiving R #3's INR (a measure of coagulation monitored for resident on anticoagulation medication) of 5.37 (normal therapeutic range for an INR is 2.00 -3.00; meaning blood is thinned more than normal to prevent clotting of the blood. This is higher and therefore, thinner than therapeutic range) on (MONTH) 28, (YEAR), the Physician's Assistant was notified and did not reduce the dosage of R #3's [MEDICATION NAME]. 5) No assessment of the resident was performed on R #3 for any side effects of an INR of 5.37. This resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy that was called on 12/05/18 at 2:30 pm. A Plan of Removal was submitted on 12/06/18 at 10:40 am and approved. Plan of Removal stated: Effective Immediately: All licensed nurses will be required to be trained and execute the following (Name of facility) Policy's in their daily practice: * Medication Administration, including scheduling and Medication aides * PCC-[MEDICATION NAME]([MEDICATION NAME]) order with separate INR order (job aid for order entry) * [MEDICATION NAME]-[MEDICATION NAME] and PT/INR Lab Order Tracking tool (6/15/17) * Laboratory Process (10/31/18) 1. All licensed nurses will be educated of the (Name of facility) Policies and procedures listed above by the Interim DNS before being allowed to work on the floor. DNS/Designee will audit Order Listing report daily for new [MEDICATION NAME] orders. The order listing report will also be used to audit changes to existing orders, INRs and compare to [MEDICATION NAME]-[MEDICATION NAME] and PT/INR Order Tracking Tool. 2. On 12/5/18 at 14:30 the facility received notification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) 1445 - RN MDS coordinator reviewed all potentially effected residents by comparing orders and INR results. 1500 - Staff nurses assessed the four residents with current [MEDICATION NAME] orders for abnormal bleeding, changes in level of cognition or consciousness and unusual bruising, a progress note was generated. 1515 - Orders were received from Medical Director/Designee to obtain INRs on all residents currently having [MEDICATION NAME] orders. 1600- New orders received for one resident to change [MEDICATION NAME] order. The remaining three resident's orders reflected no change. Redraws ordered on all four residents. On-The-Spot training was given to both nurses as they entered the orders from Medical director/Designee. These nurses also attended the Nurse Education (see below). 1900- Nurse Education, as listed above, was provided to licensed nursing staff. Eight nurses were in attendance. The remaining nurses will be required to receive the same education prior to their working their next shift, upon hire and will include agency staff. Plan of Correction Submitted for approval 12/6/2018. Upon implementation of the Plan of Removal and surveyor verification, the Immediate Jeopardy was lifted on 12/06/18 at 11:10 am. This resulted in the scope and severity reduced from a K to an E. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to meet professional standards for quality by not following physician orders [REDACTED].#3) of 4 (R #1, R #2, R #3, R #4) residents sampled for medication errors, when they gave R #3 an additional dose (2 doses total each day) above the scheduled dose of [MEDICATION NAME] on the following days: 11/22/18-11/27/18, and 11/29/18. This deficient practice resulted in R #3's INR being 5.37 (High above normal therapeutic range) that could likely result in R #3 not being able to clot blood if he were to receive a laceration and bleed out. The findings are: A. Record review of the incident report dated 11/30/18 revealed, MDS nurse discovered that there were two orders for [MEDICATION NAME] being given at 1700 and 2000 and both were signed off in eMAR. No adverse outcome. Order on 11/28 supersedes former order. Nurse (LPN #1) taking order on 11/28 failed to d/c (discontinued) former order .

Plan of Removal stated: Effective Immediately: All licensed nurses will be required to be trained and execute the following (Name of facility) Policy's in their daily practice: * Medication Administration, including scheduling and Medication aides * PCC-[MEDICATION NAME]([MEDICATION NAME]) order with separate INR order (job aide for order entry) * [MEDICATION NAME]-[MEDICATION NAME] and PT/INR Lab Order Tracking tool (6/15/17) * Laboratory Process (10/31/18) 1. All licensed nurses will be educated of the (Name of facility) Policies and procedures listed above by the Interim DNS before being allowed to work on the floor. DNS/Designee will audit Order Listing report daily for new [MEDICATION NAME] orders. The order listing report will also be used to audit changes to existing orders, INRs and compare to [MEDICATION NAME]-[MEDICATION NAME] and PT/INR Order Tracking Tool. 2. On 12/5/18 at 14:30 the facility received notification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) 1445 - RN MDS coordinator reviewed all potentially effected residents by comparing orders and INR results. 1500 - Staff nurses assessed the four residents with current [MEDICATION NAME] orders for abnormal bleeding, changes in level of cognition or consciousness and unusual bruising, a progress note was generated. 1515 - Orders were received from Medical Director/Designee to obtain INRs on all residents currently having [MEDICATION NAME] orders. 1600- New orders received for one resident to change [MEDICATION NAME] order. The remaining three resident's orders reflected no change. Redraws ordered on all four residents. On-The-Spot training was given to both nurses as they entered the orders from Medical director/Designee. These nurses also attended the Nurse Education (see below). 1900- Nurse Education, as listed above, was provided to licensed nursing staff. Eight nurses were in attendance. The remaining nurses will be required to receive the same education prior to their working their next shift, upon hire and will include agency staff. Plan of Correction Submitted for approval 12/6/2018. Upon implementation of the Plan of Removal by surveyor verification, the Immediate Jeopardy was lifted on 12/06/18 at 11:10 am. This resulted in the scope and severity reduced from a K to an E. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to assess residents after significant medication errors for 1 (R #3) of 4 (R #1, R #2, R #3, R #4) residents sampled for medication errors, when they gave R #3 an additional dose (2 doses total each day) above the scheduled dose of [MEDICATION NAME] on the following days: 11/22/18-11/27/18, and 11/29/18. This deficient practice resulted in R #3's INR being 5.37 (High above normal therapeutic range) that could likely result in R #3 not being able to clot blood if he were to receive a laceration and bleed out. The findings are: A. Record review of the incident report dated 11/30/18 revealed, MDS nurse discovered that there were two orders for [MEDICATION NAME] being given at 1700 and 2000 and both were signed off in eMAR. No adverse outcome. Order on 11/28 supersedes former order. Nurse (LPN #1) taking order on 11/28 failed to d/c (discontinued) former order .

Resident #70 was developmentally disabled and admitted to the facility at the same time as her mother, resident #22, who had been her caregiver prior to admission. Review of resident #22 and resident #70's medical records revealed abusive behavior between the two residents. Review of the care plans of the two residents revealed no plan instructing staff on how to address the behaviors between the two residents. Failure to care plan interventions to address behaviors between the two residents likely caused emotional distress to both residents and had the potential to result in continuing abusive behavior. The findings are: A. Review of the record for resident #22 revealed a Face Sheet dated 08/17/12 documenting admission on the same date. B. Review of resident #22's Cumulative [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. C.

On 09/13/12 at 5:25 pm, during an interview, the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator was asked about the 08/22/12 altercation between the two residents. She stated, "I had been told that she (resident #70) was calling her mom (resident #22) names. We discussed in the care conference with her brother, (name of resident #22)'s son, that we were concerned about the behavior because what was reported to me was that they were interfering in each others care and that we should consider moving them into different rooms, and he didn't want to do that yet." When asked about the absence of a care plan addressing the problem, she stated, "There is no behavior care plan because usually the Social Services Director does that and I have not created one yet." When asked if resident #70 should have a care plan for behavior, she stated, "She should have one. It's that I don't have a Social Services Director and I just didn't do it. I should have done it.

We discussed in the care conference with her brother, (name of resident #22)'s son, that we were concerned about the behavior because what was reported to me was that they were interfering in each others care and that we should consider moving them into different rooms, and he didn't want to do that yet." When asked about the absence of a care plan addressing the problem, she stated, "There is no behavior care plan because usually the Social Services Director does that and I have not created one yet." When asked if resident #70 should have a care plan for behavior, she stated, "She should have one. It's that I don't have a Social Services Director and I just didn't do it. I should have done it.
