The facility census was 128. Review of the facility's fall prevention manual, dated June 2006, showed the following: -Keep a fall log to analysis causes of falls and facility trends or needs. The data in the log may point to variables that are present when falls commonly occur' -Review the surveillance fall log to make sure the process is working, and falls are being prevented; -The committee should plan interventions individualized for each resident; -When a resident falls, caregivers must conduct an investigation and fill out an incident report, which must provide specific data related to the fall and any injury sustained and identify the probable cause. 1.

CMT 1 dissolved 17 grams of Miralax powder in approximately three ounces of water and then administered the medication to the resident. During an interview on 11/28/23, at 9:29 A.M., CMT 1 said he/she was unsure of how much fluid Miralax was to be dissolved in for administration. The CMT checked the directions for use on the side of the Miralax container and said the directions indicated the medication was to be dissolved in four to eight ounces of fluid. During an interview on 11/30/23, at 11:42 A.M., the Pharmacy Consultant said Miralax was expected to be given with at least four ounces of water to be effective and she generally recommended the medication be administered with six to eight ounces of water unless a resident was on a fluid restriction.

During an interview on 07/16/21, at 12:11 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) J said a resident must eat within 30 minutes after taking their fast acting insulin. The facility has a policy on it and it might be an hour time frame from blood sugar reading to eating, and then within 30 minutes after receiving insulin a resident should eat. Resident #49's morning blood sugar reading is later than most residents because he/she wants to sleep in. For lunch, Resident #49 gets the same time frame as everyone else. Resident #91 has no special parameters on his/her insulin time frames. During an interview on 07/16/21, at 12:16 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said nurses should administer fast acting insulin no sooner than thirty minutes before a resident eats. No residents have different requirements, including Resident #49 or Resident #91. The facility's insulin administration policy does not address a specific time frame for residents to eat within once fast acting insulin is administered. During an interview on 07/19/21, at 8:24 A.M., the administrator said he doesn't know the time frame between administering fast acting insulin and needing to eat. The Administrator refers to the DON or the physician for that information.
