F759D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observations, review of clinical records, and interviews with facility staff, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that it was free of medication error rate of five percent or greater for two of three residents observed during medication administration (R13, R124).Findings include: On March 17, 2026, at 9:51 a.m., observed that Employee E5, a Licensed Nurse, administered the medicine, Aspirin Tablet Chewable 81 milligrams (MG), to Resident R13. Review of physician order dated May 15, 2026, for R13, revealed an order to administer Aspirin Tablet Delayed Release 81 MG, by mouth one time a day. This represents administration of the incorrect medication formulation. March 17, 2026, at 9:53 a.m., review of Physician order revealed that R13 was signed onto hospice services with a hospice service provider, with a diagnosis of End Stage PVD ( PVD stands for Peripheral Vascular Disease; End-stage Peripheral Vascular Disease is the most severe form of PVD, where blood flow to the limbs is critically reduced, causing pain at rest, non-healing wounds, or tissue damage (gangrene), and care is focused on comfort rather than cure). On March 17, 2026, at 9:51 a.m., observed that Employee E5, a Licensed Nurse, administered the medicine, Tamsulosin 0.4 mg, by mouth to Resident R13. Review of physician order dated May 15, 2026, for R13, revealed an order to administer Tamsulosin 0.4 mg, one Capsule, by mouth, in the evening for Elevated PVR. This represents incorrect medication administration. (PVR stands for Post-Void Residual, which refers to the amount of urine left in the bladder after a person has finished urinating. It's commonly measured to assess how well the bladder is emptying).Review of literature revealed as follows: Physicians usually prescribe Tamsulosin in the evening to reduce side effects and improve nighttime comfort. It can cause dizziness or a drop in blood pressure, so taking it at night helps you rest during these effects. It also relaxes the bladder to reduce nighttime urination (nocturia), improving sleep. Taking it after dinner ensures proper absorption and aligns its peak effect with sleep, while lowering the risk of daytime dizziness. At the time of the observation, interview with Employee E5 confirmed the above findings. On March 18, 2026, at 9:38 a.m., observed that Employee E6, a Registered Nurse, administered the medicine, Vitamin B-12, tablet by mouth to Resident R124, and R124 swallowed it. Review of physician order dated March 11, 2026, for R124, revealed an order to administer Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12), 1000 mcg, tablet, sublingual. This represents incorrect medication administration. Review of literature revealed that Sublingual Vitamin B12 is used to bypass digestive barriers and low stomach acid, providing a fast, needle-free alternative to injections for better absorption. At the time of the observation, interview with Employee E6 confirmed the above findings.The facility incurred a medication error rate of 10.71%. Pa Code:211.12(d)(1)(2)(5) Nursing Services.
