F690D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident was provided proper management of the urinary catheter drainage system related to placement of the tubing and bag for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for bowel and bladder. (Resident 35) Findings include: During an observation on 6/30/25 at 8:59 a.m., Resident 35 was sitting in a wheelchair conducting a corn hole activity in the dining room. Her urinary catheter tubing, which was down the resident's left pant leg, was dragging on the floor as she moved. There was clear yellow urine in the tubing. The catheter bag was scrunched up on the left side of her wheelchair in a urinal basket. The Activity Aide was sitting to the right side of the resident, but didn't notice the tubing being on the floor. She did not notify the nurse or adjust the tubing. During an observation on 6/30/25 at 10:50 a.m., Resident 35 was sitting in a wheelchair in the dining room with the urinary catheter tubing, which was down the resident's pant leg, was dragging on the floor. The urine in the tubing was pale yellow in color. The resident kept getting her left foot caught on the tubing and would pull on the tubing to loosen it. The urinary catheter bag was scrunched up on the left side of the wheelchair in a urinal basket. As the resident rolled the wheelchair, the left front wheel was observed on top of the tubing. During an observation on 7/1/25 at 9:02 a.m., Resident 35 was sitting in a wheelchair asleep, in the dining room. The urinary catheter tubing was on the floor. The urinary catheter bag was scrunched up on the left side of the wheelchair, against the small front wheel, in a urinal basket. Two Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) entered the dining room. As the CNAs were touching the wheelchair, CNA 5 was called out of the dining room by RN 3. CNA 5 called CNA 4 out of the dining room and they returned carrying Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). They applied the PPE and brought the resident in a wheelchair over to the recliner in the dining room. The catheter tubing was dragging the floor as the wheelchair was pushed ten feet to the recliner. CNA 5 removed the urinary catheter bag from the wheelchair, lifting it above the level of the bladder. The pale yellow urine was observed backflowing up the tubing. She tried to place the bag on the side of the recliner, but she couldn't get it to hook onto the chair. She placed it onto the floor. Both CNAs left the resident sitting in her recliner. The record for Resident 35 was reviewed on 7/1/25 at 9:48 a.m. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, type 2 diabetes mellitus with foot ulcer and diabetic polyneuropathy, mild intellectual disabilities, chronic pain syndrome, hypo-osmolality and hyponatremia, hypokalemia, overactive bladder, diarrhea, neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder, and muscle weakness. The physician's order, dated 2/4/25, indicated to change the urinary catheter and urinary drainage bag as needed for dislodgement, leakage or occlusion. The physician's order, dated 2/4/25, indicated staff were to provide urinary catheter care, make sure the catheter securement device was in place, and the nurse was to record the urine output every shift. The physician's order, dated 2/4/25, indicated to change the urinary catheter securement device weekly on Sundays. The physician's order, dated 2/4/25, indicated to change the urinary catheter securement device for dislodgement and as needed. The nurse's note, dated 3/28/25 at 12:43 p.m., indicated the resident returned from an appointment at 12:13 p.m. The nurse checked the urinary catheter per the bus driver's request. The bus driver indicated the urinary catheter was yanked, while the resident was at the appointment. Some bleeding was present on the resident's brief, with no complaints of pain. The urinary catheter was intact and patent. The Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], indicated the resident was cognitively intact. The resident was frequently incontinent of bowel. The physician's order, dated 4/16/25, indicated staff were to offer an additional 120 milliliters (mL) of fluids every shift. The nurse's note, dated 5/8/25 at 1:31 p.m., indicated the Nurse Practitioner (NP) was notified of the urinalysis (u/a) and culture results that resulted on 5/4/25. During the discussion with the NP the u/a was to have been canceled due to the urinary catheter not being removed. The nurse did not discontinue (d/c) the order so the u/a was obtained and taken to the laboratory. An antibiotic was ordered and started on 5/8/25. The NP and Director of Nursing (DON) were made aware of the situation. The resident had been afebrile and had light yellow urine with a small amount of sediment. She had no complaints of pain or discomfort in the abdomen or burning voiced over the last couple of days. The resident denied distress. The physician's order, dated 5/8/25, indicated the resident was to be given 800-160 milligrams (mg) of Bactrim Double Strength (DS) every 12 hours for 20 doses with an end date of 5/17/25 for the UTI. The care plan, dated 5/22/25 at 12:41 p.m., indicated the resident was at risk of transferring or becoming colonized with a Methicillin Resistant Organism (MDRO) and required Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) due to an indwelling medical device. She had a 16 French urinary catheter with a 30 mL bulb, and an MDRO Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) in which contact precautions did not apply. The interventions included, but were not limited to: dated 2/21/25, do not wear the same gloves and gown for the care of more than one person; identify the resident as needing EBP through signage and the medical record; use standard precautions including hand hygiene in addition to the EBP; and wear a gown and gloves prior to high contact resident care activities. The nurse's note, dated 5/31/25 at 1:52 p.m., indicated the resident had a tearful episode due to having to change her pants because the urinary catheter was kinked. The urinary catheter was unkinked and patient. The urinary catheter bag was changed due to a hole being present. The care plan, dated 6/9/25, indicated the resident required an indwelling urinary catheter related to a neurogenic bladder. The interventions included, but were not limited to, dated 4/23/25, staff were to record urinary output in mL; dated 2/4/25, avoid obstructions in the urinary drainage system; change the catheter per the physician's order; do not allow tubing or any part of the drainage system to touch the floor, encourage fluids; keep the urinary catheter system a closed system as much as possible; manipulate the tubing as little as possible during care; obtain labwork as ordered; position the catheter bag below the level of the bladder; provide assistance for catheter care; and report signs of a UTI. The physician's order, dated 6/11/25, indicated the resident was to receive 40 mg of furosemide twice daily. The of the culture and sensitivity report for the resident, dated 5/4/25, indicated there was greater than 100,000 colony forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) Escherichia Coli. During an interview, on 7/1/25 at 9:12 a.m., CNA 5 indicated the urinary catheter tubing was down the resident's pant leg. The nurse told her to place the tubing there to make it easier to place on the wheelchair. She hadn't noticed the tubing dragging on the floor when she transferred the resident in her wheelchair. The tubing being on the floor would cause contamination. She had not observed the catheter bag on the floor by the recliner, either. The bag needed a new hook, which was why she didn't hang it on the recliner. During an interview, on 7/1/25 at 9:15 a.m., CNA 4 indicated she observed the tubing being down the left pant leg. The tubing being on the floor could cause contamination. She didn't notice the tubing or the catheter bag being on the floor. The resident wanted the bag on the floor. During an interview, on 7/1/25 at 9:20 a.m., RN 3 indicated the resident didn't like the catheter attached to the chair. The RN felt it would be stepped on or rolled over by the wheelchair if it was left on the floor. The tubing should not be on the floor. She had to educate the CNAs and resident to watch the tubing so that it wasn't on the floor. It depended on the day as to whether the resident understood the education to keep the tubing off of the floor. The resident had good days and bad days as far as her understanding. She felt that another leg strap could be placed around the resident's lower leg to prevent the tubing from being so long and to not be on or around the resident's foot, but the NP would have to be notified. The urinary catheter bag might be too big to prevent the tubing from dragging the floor. The bag was last changed on 6/30/25. The catheter bag should not be lifted above the resident's waste. This could cause backflow of the urine. The tubing or catheter bag being on the floor could cause infection, risk of being stepped on, or being pulled out. When the RN checked the catheter bag, the loop around the top of the catheter bag tube was not holding and came loose easily. The bag was pushed into a urinal basket. The bag being scrunched could cause the urine to backflow back up the tubing. There was 400 mL of urine in the catheter bag currently and it needed to be emptied. During an interview, on 7/1/25 at 9:35 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated the resident's catheter tubing should not be dragging on the floor. Staff should not lift the catheter bag above the level of the bladder, because it could cause a UTI. The CNA should have placed the catheter bag into a basin, instead of placing it on the floor. The DON had placed the catheter bag into the urinal basket to hold the bag up. During an interview, on 7/1/25 at 12:39 p.m., the Executive Director (ED) indicated the facility did not have a specific policy for preventing the catheter tubing or bag from touching the floor, but she did provide the Indwelling Urinary Catheter Care, Emptying Drainage Bag and Catheter Removal training skills. During an interview, on 7/1/25 at 1:02 p.m., the DON indicated she had talked to the resident and educated her, even though the resident was cognitively unable to be educated about keeping the catheter bag off of the floor. She convinced the resident today to let staff place a leg strap catheter. Staff would have to empty the catheter bag more often and staff were educated to do this. The resident was a heavy wetter, received a diuretic, and drank a lot of fluids. 3.1-41(a)

F689G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff provided effective assistance with drinking in accordance with the plan of care and failed to implement effective interventions to prevent the spillage of hot coffee to a resident with upper extremity tremors for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for accidents. (Resident B) This deficient practice resulted in the resident spilling the hot coffee and sustaining second degree burns on right lateral chin, right and left thighs; and a third degree burn on right upper inner groin area. Findings include: On 10/1/24 at 10:35 a.m., Resident B was observed resting in bed with her eyes open and watching television. The resident was observed with tremors of persistent movement to the arms, hands, and head. The incident report, dated 9/5/24 at 7:15 a.m., indicated Resident B spilled coffee on her lap with blisters to her right upper thigh and reddened area to her bilateral legs and right lower arm. The facility preventative measures were for staff to provide the resident with a cup with a lid. The clinical record for Resident B was reviewed on 10/1/24 at 10:54 a.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, dementia, anxiety, impulsiveness, and tremors. The significant status changes minimum data set (MDS) assessment, dated 8/5/24, indicated the resident's cognition was moderately impaired. The resident required staff assistance with set up for eating and drinking. The care plan, dated 7/10/24, indicated the resident was a nutritional risk related to a history of malnutrition, tremors, and self-feeding issues. The care plan lacked interventions related to tremors and self-feeding issues. The care plan, dated 7/12/24, indicated the resident required assistance with activities of daily living (ADL's) and staff were to assist Resident B with eating and drinking when needed. The care plan lacked the level of assistance needed related to the number of staff needed or how much assistance Resident B needed with eating and drinking. The nursing to therapy referral, dated 7/23/24 at 2:58 p.m., indicated the resident complained of tremors that refrained her from using eating utensils. The occupational therapy (OT) evaluation, dated 7/26/24, indicated the resident was recently referred to be evaluated by therapy. The resident had an increase in tremors and a decline in fine motor coordination which led to difficulty with self-feeding and ADL tasks. The nursing to therapy referral, dated 8/7/24 at 10:48 a.m., indicated the resident was complaining of difficulty in using her water cup at bedside due to the weight of the water in the cup. The resident continued to have tremors to her hands and arms. The resident's care plan or dietary staff notes lacked any implemented interventions related to the resident's difficulty with holding her cup, after the 8/7/24 therapy referral. The occupational therapy note, dated 9/4/24, indicated the resident and caregiver were educated on the resident's difficulties with self-feeding related to increased difficulty with scooping food onto her utensils. The Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) 4 explained the adaptive equipment the resident could use to make self-feeding easier for the resident. The therapist will continue to observe the resident during mealtimes to assess for a scoop plate. The note lacked any documentation related to the resident's difficulties handling liquids or a cup. The progress note, dated 9/5/24 at 7:15 a.m., indicated the resident was up in the dining room and requested a cup of coffee. The resident was given the coffee and dropped the coffee on her lap. The resident was immediately taken to her room and her clothing was removed. The resident's skin was already red and showed signs of blisters (The note lacked where the redness occurred). Cool towels were applied to all the resident's red areas. The facility wound management report, dated 9/5/24 between 1:11 p.m. and 1:14 p.m., indicated the resident had acquired three burned areas related to hot coffee. - Wound 1 was a superficial burn to the resident's right lower inner arm and measured 19 cm (centimeters) in length and 8.2 cm in width with no depth. The area was pink in color with no blisters. Staff were to cleanse the area, apply a thin layer of Silvadene (a cream that treats and prevents wound infections for burns) topically and wrap with gauze twice daily. - Wound 2 was a partial thickness burn to the resident's right top thigh area and measured 39.5 cm in length and 27 cm in width with no depth. The area was blistered, moist, painful, and reddened. Staff were to cleanse the area, apply a thin layer of Silvadene topically, and wrap with gauze twice daily. - Wound 3 was a superficial burn to the resident's left top thigh area and measured 8 cm in length and 11 cm in width. The area was painful, reddened and blanched with pressure. No blisters were observed. Staff were to cleanse the area, apply a thin layer of Silvadene topically, and wrap with gauze twice daily. The clinical record lacked documentation related to a burn on the resident's right lower facial area. The physician's order, dated 9/6/24, indicated staff were to continue to cleanse all the resident's burned areas, apply a thin layer of Silvadene cream, and cover with Mepitel (a dressing used to protect the wound and skin). Then apply border gauze (a type of wound dressing that consists of three layers and was used to protect and absorb wounds) to secure. The physician's order, dated 9/11/24, indicated staff were to continue to cleanse all the resident's burned areas, apply a thin layer of Silvadene cream and cover with xeroform dressing (a dressing for low draining wounds). Then apply border gauze to secure. The wound care center history and physical note, dated 9/12/24 at 12:30 p.m., indicated Resident B presented to the wound care center with her family member related to burns acquired in the nursing home from hot coffee. The wound care center detailed assessment, dated 9/12/24 at 12:30 p.m., indicated the resident presented to the center with the following wounds: - Wound 2 involved the resident's right groin area and upper medial leg. The resident had a second-degree burn (involving the first two layers of skin. These may present as deep reddening of the skin, pain, blisters, glossy appearance from leaking fluid, and possible loss of some skin). The wound measured 25 cm in length, 16 cm in width with a depth of 0.2 cm, full thickness without exposed support structures. The wound had a large amount of serosanguineous (a combination of blood and serum) exudate (drainage), slough (yellow/white material in the wound bed), and with a fat layer exposed. The treatment ordered was Santyl (debriding treatment), staff were to apply a nickel thick amount to wound bed, with a Vaseline gauze over the Santyl and cover with an abdominal pad daily (ABD). The resident's right medial upper leg had a first-degree burn (involving the top layer of skin. These may present as red and painful to touch, and the skin will show mild swelling). The wound measured 2.2 cm in length, 2.4 cm in width with a depth of 0.1 cm, full thickness without exposed support structures, large amount of serosanguineous exudate and slough. The treatment ordered was bacitracin (helps prevent burns from becoming infected) to the wound bed, staff were to apply Vaseline gauze, cover with ABD pad, and secure with gauze daily. - Wound 3 involved the resident's left medial upper thigh. The resident had a second-degree burn. The wound measured 3 cm in length, 4 cm in width with a depth of 0.1 cm, full thickness without exposed support structures. The wound had a medium amount of serosanguineous exudate and with a fat layer exposed. The treatment ordered was bacitracin to wound bed, staff were to apply Vaseline gauze, cover with ABD pad, and secure with gauze wrap. - Wound 4 involved the resident's right lateral chin. The resident had a second-degree burn. The wound measured 0.3 cm in length, 0.5 cm in width with a depth of 0.1 cm, full thickness without exposed support structures, a small amount of serosanguineous exudated. The treatment ordered was bacitracin to the wound bed daily. The wound care center note, dated 9/12/24, lacked any documentation related to the resident's right lower inner arm burn that was identified on 9/5/24 as Wound 1 on the facility wound management note. The facility skin and wound note, dated 10/1/24 at 2:47 p.m., indicated the following: -Wound 2 was located on the resident's right groin area. The wound was a third-degree burn (third-degree burns penetrated the entire thickness of the skin and permanently destroy tissue. These present as loss of skin layers, often painless and dry, leathery skin. Skin may appear charred or have patches that appear white, brown, or black). The area measured 4.2 cm in length, 18 cm in width with a depth of 0.2 cm. The wound contained 80% (percent) slough with a heavy amount of serosanguineous exudate. The exposed tissues were the epithelium and dermis. A wound debridement was completed to 100% of the wound and necrotic tissue was removed. The wound was to be cleansed with wound cleanser, patted dry, apply Santyl cream and covered with ABD/bordered gauze daily. - Wound 3 was located on the resident's left thigh. The wound was a third-degree burn. The wound measured 0.5 cm in length, 1.5 cm in width with a depth of 0.1 cm with a small amount of serosanguineous exudate. The exposed tissue was epithelium. The wound was to be cleansed with wound cleanser, apply xeroform and bordered gauze daily. The facility wound note, dated 10/1/24, lacked documentation related to the resident's Wound 1 identified on the facility wound note, dated 9/5/24; or Wound 4 identified on the Wound Care Center assessment, dated 9/12/24. During an interview on 10/1/24 at 10:35 a.m., the resident's family member indicated the wound nurse had been in that morning for treatment to her family member's burn wounds. The resident had a third-degree burn to her right upper thigh and a second-degree burn to her left upper thigh. The resident had severe tremors, and the family member was unsure why there was no lid on the coffee cup to prevent spillage. On 10/1/24 at 11:00 a.m., during an observation of the coffee maker in the facility kitchen, the industrial coffee maker was observed to be set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. The ED indicated they do not individually temp the coffee. The industrial coffee maker was set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. The standard was between 205 to 215 degrees Fahrenheit and they set their' s below the standard at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. The industrial coffee maker was observed to be set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. On 10/1/24 at 11.07 a.m., during an observation of the coffee temperatures in the two residents' dining rooms, the coffee being served by staff was tempted to be at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. On 10/1/24 at 11:30 a.m., a request was made for the facility policy on hot liquids. On 10/1/24 at 12:30 p.m., the Executive Director (ED) indicated the facility did not have a policy on hot liquids. The ED and Director of Nursing (DON) indicated they did not do hot liquid evaluations. The ED indicated that the resident, had always drank coffee. The DON indicated Resident B was able to eat and drink with no issues. The resident had a couple of hospital stays. After her second hospital stay, they had therapy take a look at the resident. She would not eat; she was paranoid and had mental status changes. Speech could not evaluate her because she refused. The family member could get her to eat. They sent her to neurology, and they put her on Gabapentin for her tremors. She had lethargy and increased tremors. They decreased the Gabapentin. There was no need for an evaluation as the family member was assisting the resident with meals. She was up for meals, still having tremors and staff were supervising. During an interview on 10/2/24 at 9:16 a.m., the Executive Director (ED) indicated the resident was seen by the occupational therapist assistant on 9/4/24 for assistive devices and felt at that time a lid was not needed. The facility staff were aware the resident had tremors; however, the tremors were inconsistent. The ED provided a typed noted completed on 10/2/24 and dated 9/4/24 from COTA 4. The typed noted indicated the following: The resident and resident's caregiver were educated on the different types of adaptive equipment. Adaptive equipment suggested were a scoop plate, weighted silverware, and lids on cups. The resident observed on 9/4/24 with a plastic lid on a regular cup. The resident completed drinking tasks without problems. The resident demonstrated minimum tremors during treatment session. At this time, due to the resident's alertness and minimum tremors, lids on cups were not recommended. On 10/2/24 at 9:42 a.m., an observation of the resident's wound was made with the DON and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 8. The resident's area to her right groin wound (Wound 2) was observed to be 18 cm in length, 4 cm in width with a depth of 0.1 cm. Scar tissue was observed around the peri-wound. Approximately 70% of the wound was covered with yellow slough. There was no odor. The left thigh wound (Wound 3) was observed to be 2 cm in length and 2 cm in width with no depth. The wound bed was observed to be pink with no slough. Scar tissue was observed to the top of the wound. The resident denied any pain or discomfort. During an interview 10/2/24 at 9:45 a.m., Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) 5 indicated the day of the incident, she heard someone crying and another CNA 6 was taking the resident to her room. Resident B shakes really bad, and it comes and goes. She could not recall if the resident had tremors that day, but some days she had them and some days she did not. There were plenty of days that she needed a lid for her cup to prevent her from spilling the liquid. She was aware the resident had tremors. During an interview on 10/2/24 at 9:47 a.m., CNA 6 indicated it was breakfast time and CNA 7 handed Resident B a cup of coffee. The coffee was really hot that day. She heard something drop. She walked over and saw that the coffee had spilled on Resident B. She took the resident to her room, removed her clothing and put cold wash cloths on the reddened areas. Her skin was red when she removed the resident's clothing. She did not recall if the resident was having tremors that day, but she was aware the resident did have tremors. During an interview on 10/2/24 at 11:00 a.m., COTA 4 indicated she had spent time with the resident on 9/4/24. When she went in the room, the resident was abed, and her family member was at her bedside. The resident had a couple of hospital stays and after she came back from her second one, she was very paranoid. She quit eating and thought the staff were poisoning her food. On 9/4/24, when she saw the resident, she was coming out of showing signs of paranoia. The family member asked her about assistive devices, and she spoke with her about a scoop plate, weighted utensils, and a lidded cup if it came to that. On 9/4/24, the resident's tremors were minimal, and she was alert and oriented. When her lunch tray came, her cup had a lid on it. She put a straw in the top of the lid and the resident did fine drinking. She was aware the resident had tremors, and the tremors would come and go and were very inconsistent. It was a very short time when the incident occurred that the resident could feed herself. During a telephone interview on 10/2/24 at 11:09 a.m., CNA 7 indicated on the morning of the incident, they were getting the breakfast trays ready. She asked Resident B if she wanted coffee, and she said yes. She poured the resident some coffee and it was hot. She placed the coffee on the residents' table, out of the resident's reach, because it was hot. She went back to the food cart and was told the resident had spilled her coffee. She and CNA 6 took the resident to her room, got her undressed and placed cold cloths on the reddened areas. After that she left the resident's room to finish the meal service. She had never seen the resident with a lid on her cup. She had no idea how the resident reached the coffee cup or if someone else gave it to her. The resident's tremors were not as bad that day as they usually were. She was aware the resident had tremors. The resident had always gotten coffee before when she wanted it, without a lid on her cup, and she did not recall the resident ever having a lid on her coffee. On 10/2/24 at 12:38 p.m., the resident was observed resting in bed with her eyes closed and her call light in reach. Tremors were observed ongoing to the arms, hands, and head. Resident B's family member indicated the day before the incident occurred, COTA 4 came in and told her she was getting ready to put an order in for her family member to have a lid on her drinks. COTA 4 told her that her family member had eaten her meal well the day before. Her family member could not handle the weight of cups because she was shaking so badly. Burn Exposure Chart, www.antiscald.com, indicated .that a person will receive a second degree burn in 3 seconds of exposure and third degree burn in 5 seconds of exposure to water of 140 [degrees Fahrenheit] . Occupational-Therapy-Scope-of-Practice, www.research.aota.org/practice, 2024 American Occupational Therapy Association, .Occupational therapy services may be provided by two levels of practitioners: (1) the occupational therapist and (2) the occupational therapy assistant, as well as by occupational therapy students under appropriate supervision (AOTA, 2018). Occupational therapists function as autonomous practitioners, are responsible for all aspects of occupational therapy service delivery and are accountable for the safety and effectiveness of the occupational therapy service delivery process. The occupational therapy assistant delivers occupational therapy services only under the supervision of and in partnership with the occupational therapist (AOTA, 2020b). When the term occupational therapy practitioner is used in this document, it refers to both occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants (AOTA, 2015a) . The Past noncompliance began on 9/5/24. The deficient practice was corrected by 9/12/24 after the facility implemented a systemic plan that included the following actions: All staff were educated on assist to feed which included all residents that needed assistance were assisted timely, temperature of fluids were appropriate and to resident preference, and the use of specialty cups/lids appropriately (9/11/24); Coffee temperature monitoring was implemented (9/5/24); All residents were observed to ensure no issues with cups and eating (9/5/24); Drink lids provided to all units and on hydration carts (9/8/24); Vendor completed inspection of coffee maker and ensured no temperature malfunctions (9/12/24).

F755D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure medication errors did not occur for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for medication administration. (Resident C) Findings include: 1. The clinical record for Resident C was reviewed on 1/17/24 at 1:02 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, congestive heart failure, depression, anxiety and hypertension. The incident report, dated 6/10/23 at 1:33 p.m., indicated Resident C had a medication error. The resident was sent to the hospital and diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. The progress note, dated 6/10/23 at 8:15 a.m., indicated QMA (Qualified Medication Aide) 4 administered the wrong medication to Resident C. The physician was notified with orders to obtain vital signs every 4 hours, check blood sugars every shift, hold the resident's morning medication, and to administer the resident's 12 p.m. medications as ordered. Review of the medication error report, dated 6/15/23, indicated QMA 4 administered Resident D's morning medications to Resident C which included the following: - Baclofen (medication for muscle spasms) 20 mg (milligrams) - Centrum Silver supplement - Divalproex (medication for convulsions) 1,500 mg - Metformin (medication for diabetes) 500 mg - Neurontin (medication used for pain) 400 mg - Oxcarbazepine (medication used for seizures) 600 mg - Paxil (antidepressant) 30 mg The clinical record lacked documentation of a physician's order for the above medications. The written statement from QMA 4, dated 6/13/23, indicated on 6/10/23, QMA 4 had two residents left to pass medications to, Resident C and Resident D. QMA 4 had both resident's medications ready. Prior to administration, QMA 4 was distracted when her aides asked her some questions along with a resident. She planned to go to Resident C's room. She grabbed Resident D's cup of medications instead of Resident C's and administered Resident D's medications to Resident C.

Resident #62 Findings include: The clinical record of Resident #62 was reviewed on 7/11/12 at 10 A.M. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. During the clinical record review, a physician order [REDACTED]...3 ml (milliliters) tid (three times a day)..." A MAR (medication administration record) dated June 2012 indicated the following: "Diazepam (valium) 5 mg/5 ml solution...give 3 ml ...3 times a day..." Documentation indicated the resident received 3 doses every day of the medication for the month, with the exception of 6/25, where Resident #62 received only one dose of diazepam. A physician communication and progress note, dated 6/25/12, indicated the following: "...instead of 3 mg 3 x (times) daily, he (Resident #62) has been getting 15 mg 3 x day d/t (due to) pharmacy sent Valium Intensol with same instructions." On 7/12/12 at 9:30 A.M., the DON (Director of Nursing) was interviewed. She indicated the following: The pharmacy sent a box of diazepam solution with a pharmacy sticker placed mostly over the manufacturer's medication identification and concentration information on the front of the box. The pharmacy sticker indicated the following: "Diazepam 5 mg/5 ml solution. Give 3 ml (3 mg)...3 times a day." The DON indicated the documentation on the back of the medication box, indicated the concentration of this medication as 5 mg per 1 ml. She indicated the pharmacy had placed a label with an incorrect concentration of (3 mg per 3 ml) on the front of the box, covering the actual, more concentrated solution of 5 mg per 1 ml. She indicated their investigation of this incident indicated this was a pharmacy error, and the pharmacy accepted their error. During this same interview, the DON provided a photo copy of the back of the box, which has a picture of the dispensing dropper in the bottle. This photo indicated 1 ml (milliliter) of medication was equal to 5 mg (milligrams) of medication. The DON indicated at this time, the actual dropper only had the identifying markings of ml and not the milligram dose. The DON also provided a photo copy of the end flap of the box, which indicated the box had been opened on 6/22/12. The DON was unsure of the number of doses of this medication the resident received on 6/22/12 from this vial. She indicated the resident received 3 doses of this concentrated medication on 6/23 and 6/24. She indicated the resident received 1 dose of the concentrated medication on 6/25 before being transferred to the hospital for evaluation. She indicated the resident was admitted to the hospital as "observation" status overnight and was discharged home the next day. During this same interview, the DON provided copies of the history and physical of the resident's admission to the hospital on [DATE]. This documentation included, but was not limited to, the following: "...with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] with severe [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]...According to the patient's adoptive mother, the patient normally is very calm and is able to talk. However, today the patient was very agitated. He has been very restless...The emergency room did receive a call...that the patient has been receiving 15 milligrams of valium tid (3 times a day). This was an accidental overdose and the patient's orders are for him to receive 3 milligrams tid...Assessment: 1. Benzodiazepine overdose 2. Urinary Tract Infection...Plan: It is possible that the patient is having a paradoxical reaction to overdose of Valium and instead of being sedated, the patient is in fact, agitated. Patient also has some mild laboratory indices of urinary tract infection, which could also be playing a role. We will observe the patient and hopefully as the valium comes out of his system, he will become less agitated. We will also treat with Cipro for urinary tract infection..." On 7/12/12 at 11:10 A.M., the DON was interviewed. She indicated the label which pharmacy applies to the bottles/vials sometimes covers the manufacturer label already on the bottle/vial. The DON indicated the nurses would know the dosing instructions from the label, which pharmacy applies to the bottle/vial. The DON indicated because the pharmacy applied label partially covered the manufacturer's label, this is the reason the nurses didn't see the actual concentration on the bottle. The DON indicated when the nurse receives the medications from pharmacy and checks them in, the following is done: the nurses compares the quantity of each medicine received to the list of medications and quantity received from pharmacy. On 7/12/12 at 2:25 P.M., the DON was interviewed. She indicated on 6/25/12 at 5:45 A.M., the resident had pulled a fingernail off to his right, third digit.

On 7/13/12 at 9:15 A.M. a copy of the following drug information was obtained from the facility copy of the 2013 Lippincott's Nursing Drug Guide, which included but was not limited to, the following: drug classes: anxiolytic and benzodiazepine; available forms: oral solution: 1 mg/ml and 5 mg/ml. On 7/13/12 at 9:20 A.M., the DON provided a copy of the facility policy and procedure for "LTC (Long Term Care) Facilities Receiving Pharmacy Products and Services from Pharmacy." This policy was dated May 2010. This policy included, but was not limited to, the following: "Document any delivery discrepancies (...labeling error...)." At this time also, the DON provided a copy of the "Narcotic count Record" for the resident. This form indicated the Diazepam 5 mg/5 ml was received on 6/14/12. This form also indicated the first dose of this concentration of diazepam was given on 6/22/12 at 6 A.M. On 7/13/12 at 11:20 A.M., the DON was interviewed. She indicated that 90% of the front of the original box was covered by pharmacy labels placed on it. She also indicated that the pharmacy is to notify the facility if a medication is dispensed in a different concentration that was ordered by the physician. She indicated the pharmacy should get clarification of the order before dispensing. On 7/13/12 at 11:30 A.m. the DON was interviewed. She indicated the actual bottle/vial of liquid Valium had a pharmacy label on it but she doesn't know the actual placement of the label as to what was and was not visible.
