A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 3/04/2023, revealed in Section C Cognitive Patterns a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 2/15, which meant the resident is severely cognitively impaired. Section G Functional Status of the MDS revealed she required extensive to total assistance with mobility and activities of daily living (ADL) performance and had functional limitations in range of motion on both sides for upper extremity (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand) and lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle foot).

Based on observations, record reviews, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure the medication error rate was less than 5.00%. Twenty-seven medication administration opportunities were observed and four errors were identified for two (#48 and #96) of seven residents observed. These errors constituted a 14.81% medication error rate. Findings included: 1. On 4/25/23 at 8:39 a.m., an observation of medication administration with Staff Member E, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), was conducted with Resident #48. The staff member dispensed the following medications: - Levemir FlexPen - dialed the dosage selector to 18 units which was verified by another floor nurse. - Losartan 50 milligram (mg) tablet - Metformin 500 mg tablet - Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg capsule - Famotidine 20 mg tablet - Artificial tears bottle - Acidphilus (lactobacilli) 500 million cells The medication profile for Resident #48 identified that the resident was scheduled at 7:00 a.m. to receive Novolog. The staff member entered Resident #48's room and at 8:56 a.m. on 4/25/23, obtained a blood glucose level of 117 from the residents left pointer finger. Staff E informed the resident of not getting the short-acting insulin, Novolog, and only the Levemir. The dosage of 18 units of Levemir was verified, again, prior to the staff member injecting into the residents' upper left extremity. The staff member removed gloves, sanitized hands, then re-gloved prior to wiping both eyes of the resident with a tissue. The staff member applied gloves then placed one drop of Artificial tears in the left eye then one drop into the right eye. Staff E administered oral medications at 9:02 a.m. on 4/25/23. Immediately following the observation, Staff E explained that Resident #48 was due to have Novolog administered at 7:00 a.m., but the insulin was given closer to breakfast (which was delivered during the observation). The staff member stated insulin pens were only primed when first opening them, when it was a brand new pen. A review of Resident #48's Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated the following: - Saccharomyces boulardii 250 mg capsule - Give 1 capsule by mouth two times a day for probiotic, scheduled for morning administration. - Artificial Tears solution 0.2-0.2-1% - Instill 1 drop in right eye four times a day for dry eye syndrome. According to webmd.com (https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-332/saccharomyces-boulardii), Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast, whereas Acidophilus (Lactobacillus acidophilus) is a bacteria (https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-790/lactobacillus-acidophilus). The website indicated, for both probiotic's, to not confuse either S. boulardii and L. acidophilus with other probiotic's, they are not the same. The manufacturer instructed users of a Levemir Flexpen (https://www.novomedlink.com), to give an airshot before each injection. The instructions identified that Before each injection, prime your pen by performing an airshot. The literature instructed users to turn the dose selector to 2 units, hold the FlexPen with the needle pointing up, tap the cartridge a few times to make any air bubbles to collect at the tip, while keeping the needle pointing upwards to press the push button all the way, and the dose selector returns to zero (0). A drop of insulin should be observed at the needle tip and if not to change the needle and repeat the procedure. 2. On 4/25/23 at 5:05 p.m., an observation of medication administration with Staff Member I, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), was conducted with Resident #96. The staff member dispensed the following medications: - Insulin Lispro pen - Hydralazine 25 mg tablet (blood pressure 152/63) - Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg tablet On 4/25/23 at 5:13 p.m., Staff I administered the oral medication to Resident #96, then obtained a blood glucose level of 304 from the left pinky finger. The staff member dialed the insulin pen to 8 units, and interjected the insulin into the back of the left upper arm of the resident. On 4/25/23 at 5:27 p.m., Staff Member I stated that the insulin pens did not have to be primed, was educated earlier today on priming insulin pens and don't have to prime the new ones. According to the manufacturer of Insulin Lispro, (https://www.lillyinsulinlispro.com/#) users should Prime before each injection. The literature indicated that Priming your pen means removing the air from the needle and cartridge that may collect during normal use and ensures that the pen is working correctly. If you do not prime before each injection, yo may get too much or too little insulin. The manufacturer instructed how to prime the pen was to turn the dose knob to select 2 units, hold your pen with the needle pointing up, tap the cartridge to collect air bubbles at the top, while continue holding pen with needle pointing up push the dose knob until it stops and 0 is seen in the dose window. Hold the dose knob in and count for 5 seconds slowly, insulin should be seen at the tip of the needle. The instructions indicate that if insulin is not seen at the tip repeat the steps no more than 4 times, if insulin is still not seen change the needle and repeat the priming steps. During an interview, on 4/26/23 at 6:17 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that based on policy nurses are to prime insulin pens. The policy - Insulin Pens, revised on 1/19, 10/19, and 1/21, indicated the purpose of the policy was To ensure safe and accurate administration of insulin for residents using their own insulin pen. The procedure identified #6: Priming the Pen: - a. Prime the Pen before each injection i. Priming the pen means removing the air from the needle and cartridge that may collect during normal use and ensure that the pen is working correctly. ii. If you do not prime before each injection, you may get too much or too little insulin. - b. To prime the pen, turn the dose knob to select 2 units. - c. Hold the pen with the needle pointing up. Tap the cartridge holder gently to collect air bubbles at the top. - d. Continue holding the pen with needle pointing up. Push the dose knob in until it stops, and 0 is seen in the dose window. Hold the dose knob in and count to 5 slowly. You should see insulin at the tip of the needle. - If you do not see insulin, repeat the priming steps, but not more than 4 times. - If you still do not see insulin, change the needle and repeat the priming steps.
