**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure proper storage and labeling of medication and biologicals for 1 of 2 treatment carts and 1 of 1 medication and biologicals refrigerator reviewed for biologicals and medication storage. This placed residents at risk for reduced efficacy of medication, inaccurate tuberculosis testing, and decreased vaccine efficacy. Findings include: During an audit of the South Hall treatment cart with Staff 8 (RN) on [DATE] at 3:50 PM, an open vial of Insulin Glargine dated [DATE] was observed in the cart. Staff 8 examined the vial and confirmed the date on the vial was over 28 days and it should have been discarded. While conducting an audit of the medication and biologicals refrigerator on [DATE] at 11:14 AM with Staff 9 (LPN) an open and undated multi-dose vial of tuberculin solution (a solution used in testing for Tuberculosis), and multiple closed vials of Spikevax (COVID - 19 vaccine) with an expiration date of [DATE] were found in a basket on a shelf. Staff 9 verified there was no open date on the tuberculin and placed it in the sharps container (plastic container designed to safely hold needles and other sharps). Staff 9 verified the vials of Spikevax were expired and stated the facility was waiting for the pharmacy to exchange them for viable vaccines. The tuberculin manufacturer package insert, revised 6/2010, indicated the tuberculin vial was to be discarded 30 days after opening. On [DATE] at 2:11 PM Staff 3 (RNCM) stated the expectation was for all medications to have an open date, the insulin and tuberculin to be put in the sharps container when expired, and for the Spikevax vaccines to be labeled as do not use and returned to the pharmacy.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to follow physician's orders for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#6) reviewed for catheter. This placed residents at risk for ineffective treatment of her/his infection. Findings include: When Vancomycin (an antibiotic medication used to treat several bacterial infections) was used in the treatment of infections, drug monitoring (a Vancomycin trough) is required to establish the concentration of medication in the blood just prior to administration of the next dose. This allows for adjustments to the prescribed dosage by the physician or pharmacist. If Vancomycin concentration in the blood is below therapeutic levels, the result is an ineffective treatment of infection with serious potential consequences. If the concentration is above therapeutic levels it can result in Vancomycin toxicity which can lead to serious consequences including acute renal (kidney) failure. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 2023 with diagnoses including methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA a bacterium which is resistant to certain antibiotics) infection. a. An 8/8/23 hospital Discharge Orders Report instructed staff to administer Vancomycin oral solution by mouth daily for 15 days. The report also instructed staff to administer IV medication Vancomycin every 12 hours and for the pharmacy to keep trough levels between 15 and 20 and to send the lab results to the physician. An 8/8/23 Pharmacist Communication Pharmacy Monitoring CPA on File Ongoing Vancomycin Monitoring form indicated Resident 6's Vancomycin trough was 16.8 as of 8/8/23. The target goal was ten to 15. The form indicated to continue the current Vancomycin order with the next Vancomycin trough and basic metabolic panel (BMP, a test which measures eight different substances in the blood) was due on 8/11/23 thirty minutes prior to the Vancomycin dose time. An 8/11/23 Internal medicine Nurse Practitioner Progress Notes indicated the plan was to stop antibiotics on 8/23/23, okay to draw Vancomycin trough as stat (immediately), and weekly labs as ordered. Resident 6 was placed on IV Vancomycin, oral ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic medication used to treat several bacterial infections) and oral Vancomycin due to her/his history of clostridioides difficile (C. diff., an infection of the large intestine). It was recommended Resident 6 receive daily oral Vancomycin for the duration of her/his systemic antibiotics and to prevent another episode of C-diff. The Nurse Practitioner Progress Notes also indicated Nursing issues- lab is here. Vancomycin trough was drawn at incorrect time. Need orders clarified for new draw. An 8/15/23 Pharmacist Communication Pharmacy Monitoring CPA on File Ongoing Vancomycin Monitoring form indicated Resident 6's Vancomycin trough was 12.8 as of 8/15/23 at 8:50 AM and the Vancomycin level was drawn late. The form also indicated to continue the Vancomycin order with the next Vancomycin trough and BMP due on 8/17/23 thirty minutes prior to the dose time. On 8/18/23 faxes from the pharmacy indicated the following: -2:03 PM the pharmacy was refaxing the most recent request for Vancomycin trough and BMP as it was supposed to be completed on 8/17/23. The fax also indicated to please attempt to complete labs as soon as possible and fax results to pharmacy right away. -4:03 PM Resident 6's labs were due and to send them to the pharmacy as soon as available. On 9/15/23 at 11:07 AM Staff 2 and Staff 24 (RCM-LPN) stated they wanted to review the information. Staff 2 stated one day the nurse drew Resident 6's blood for the Vancomycin trough early. No additional information was provided. b. An 8/8/23 hospital Discharge Orders Report instructed staff to administer Vancomycin oral solution by mouth daily for 15 days. The report also instructed staff to administer IV Vancomycin every 12 hours. An 8/11/23 Internal medicine Nurse Practitioner Progress Notes indicated Resident 6 was placed on IV Vancomycin and oral Vancomycin due to her/his history of clostridioides difficile (C. diff., an infection of the large intestine). It was recommended Resident 6 receive daily oral Vancomycin for the duration of her/his systemic antibiotics and to prevent another episode of C-diff. An 8/2023 MAR instructed staff to administer Vancomycin Oral by mouth one time a day for 14 days. On 8/13/23, 8/14/23, 8/15/23, 8/16/23, 8/20/23, 8/21/23 and 8/22/23 the MAR instructed the reader to see progress notes. Administration Notes indicated to administer Vancomycin oral suspension one time a day for 14 days notes as follows: -8/13/23 IV medication administered and physician notified. -8/14/23 no additional information documented. -8/15/23 PICC line in place. -8/16/23 PICC line in place. -8/20/23 no additional information documented. -8/21/23 Do not have medication. -8/22/23 Don't have. On 9/15/23 at 11:04 AM Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 24 (RCM-LPN) stated since Resident 6's IV line dislodged some of the nurses believed she/he was administered the oral during the time she/he could not receive IV Vancomycin. Staff 2 stated Resident 6's physician ordered the resident to receive both oral and IV Vancomycin.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide adequate catheter care for 2 of 3 residents reviewed for catheterization (#s 3 and 6) reviewed for catheter. This placed residents at risk for unmet catheter needs. Findings include: A revised facility In-dwelling Urinary Catheter Policy and Procedure indicated a care plan development would address the catheter use which may include management of the catheter, bag and tubing changes, prevention of drag on the catheter tubing, maintenance of the catheter bag below the level of the resident's pelvis, routine catheter care, fluid intake, preserving resident dignity and monitoring for signs of complications. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 2023 with diagnoses including obstructive and reflux uropathy (a blockage of the normal flow of contents of the urinary tract). A 6/13/23 care plan indicated Resident 3 had a urinary catheter and would remain free of catheter related trauma with interventions including position bag and tubing below level of bladder, ensure tubing was free of kinks, monitor for signs and symptoms of UTI, see MAR and TAR for current medical interventions, and urinary catheter care (SPECIFY) (*AR*). No specific catheter care was documented. A 6/17/23 Alert Note indicated Resident 3 was complaining of a full bladder and there was no urine in her/his catheter urine collection bag. Staff 13 (RN) noted the tubing was twisted and after unwinding the tubing the bag collected 750 ml of urine. A 6/18/23 admission MDS indicated Resident 3's BIMS score was 13 which indicated she/he was cognitively intact. Resident 3 had an indwelling catheter. The Urinary Incontinence and Indwelling Catheter CAA indicated Staff were to provide catheter care every shift and as needed and conduct a weekly skin audit. Resident 3 was at risk for skin impairment, pressure ulcers and dehydration. On 7/20/23 a public complaint was received which indicated Resident 3's catheter insertion area was not cleaned daily and the tape to secure the tubing on her/his leg was only changed one time from 6/14/23 through 7/9/23. The skin under the tape had a rash. On 9/12/23 at 8:13 AM Resident 3 stated staff did not change the tape that secured the catheter tubing to her/his leg. Resident 3 stated toward the end of her/his stay they started to provide catheter care but she/he went a couple of weeks without being cleaned. They were emptying her/his catheter bag but not cleaning the catheter insertion site. No documentation was found in clinical records for the monitoring or changing of the tape securing Resident 3's catheter tubing to her/his leg. On 9/13/23 at 8:38 AM Staff 13 stated the device which secures the catheter tubing to the leg should be changed if it was soiled or dislodged, staff should change the location of the tubing, and the industry standard of care was once per week. Staff 13 stated he did not know if the nurse or the CNA completed the care related to the catheter tubing tape, that it depended on facility policy. Staff 13 stated on 6/17/23 he remembered the CNA coming to him and letting him know Resident 3 did not have urine coming out of her/his catheter. He examined the tubing and it was kinked which blocked urine flow. Staff 13 stated he was surprised 750 ml came out as average standard output was about 30 ml per hour. Staff 13 stated it was best practice for a resident with a catheter to have input and output documented each shift. On 9/15/23 at 9:07 AM Staff 22 (CNA) stated changing of the tape to secure the tubing to the leg was normally completed by the nurse. On 9/15/23 at 10:48 AM Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 24 (RCM-LPN) stated the CNAs were responsible to change the tape for the catheter tubing and, if the tape was soiled or lifting up, CNAs were to move the tape to another place. If the catheter bag was changed the tape was changed. It was expected for staff to generally write a note for patency and the monitoring for UTI was in nursing tasks, size of catheter and balloon size should be on the TAR for changing. 2. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 2023 with diagnoses including osteomyelitis (infection of the bone). An 8/8/23 care plan indicated Resident 6 had a urinary catheter with interventions including see MAR and TAR for current medical interventions. Resident 6 had a supra pubic (a flexible tube to drain urine from the bladder inserted into the bladder through the abdomen) catheter. An 8/8/23 through 8/31/23 Documentation Survey Report revealed urinary catheter care per protocol. On day shift it was documented no catheter care was provided nine times during day shift. On night shift there was no documentation catheter care was provided four times. No output of Resident 6's urine was documented on the report. An 8/9/23 admission MDS and Dehydration Fluid Intake CAA indicated Resident 6 had osteomyelitis and dehydration. Resident 6 received IV fluids in the hospital and was at risk for dehydration, infection and sepsis. A 8/20/23 Health Care Log completed by Witness 3 (Family Member) indicated on 8/20/23 Resident 6 reported Staff 22 (CNA) commented to her/him that her/his urine smelled really bad/ and that Resident 6's catheter hygiene was questionable since her/his admission. Resident 6 developed a yeast infection in the abdomen crease where her/his catheter exited her/his body as well as in her/his groin. An 8/20/23 Alert Note indicated Resident 6 had a red yeasty looking rash to her/his pannus (fold of excess skin and fat that hangs down from the abdomen) and right side of her/his groin. A fax was sent to the physician requesting an order for treatment of the rash. On 9/11/23 at 11:26 AM Witness 3 stated she had concerns for Resident 6's care from the first day of admission and so she decided to keep a log of what occurred. On 9/15/23 at 9:07 AM Staff 22 (CNA) stated she did not remember documenting catheter care was not completed in 8/2023. On 9/15/23 at 11:19 AM Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 24 (RCM-LPN) stated the facility typically did not document output for a resident with a catheter. Resident 6 did not have any signs of dehydration. Staff 2 and Staff 24 were informed catheter care was not provided was documented in clinical records for Resident 6.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to monitor behaviors related to dementia for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#5) reviewed for abuse. This placed residents at risk for unmet dementia care needs. Findings include: Resident 5 admitted to the facility in 2022 with delusional disorders and dementia. An 4/5/23 Annual MDS and Psychotropic CAA revealed Resident 5 had behaviors which included impulsiveness, yelling, swinging at staff, refusal of care, and arguing with other residents. Resident 5 also made disturbing sexual comments and stated she/he wanted to commit rape. Resident 5 was scheduled to visit with psychiatry and her/his mood was better. Staff were to administer medication as ordered, ensure pharmacist review per protocol, and engage psychiatry as needed. An 4/9/22 care plan indicated Resident 5 had a history of resident-to-resident incidents with interventions including monitor for changes in behavior and the effectiveness of interventions, and attempt to redirect and monitor for signs and symptoms of psychological distress. If Resident 5 became agitated and wanted out of bed she/he thought she/he needed to get up to go home, and staff were to attempt to calm her/him and assist her/him into her/his chair as needed. A 7/6/23 Quarterly MDS indicated Resident 5's BIMS score was seven indicating severe cognitive impairment, and she/he exhibited no behaviors. A review of 8/2023 and 9/2023 TARs, LN tasks (nursing tasks) and Documentation Survey Reports (CNA tasks) revealed no observed behaviors documented for Resident 5. An 8/16/23 Health Status Note indicated Resident 5 displayed more sexual behaviors in the common areas making inappropriate comments to and about other residents and staff members. Resident 5 was redirected without issue by staff. An 8/19/23 FRI indicated on 8/18/23 Resident 4 and Resident 5 were in the dining room having a conversation. Resident 5 suddenly started yelling at Resident 4 and called her/him an asshole and a mother fucker. Staff 11 (CNA) and Staff 12 (CNA) witnessed the incident and attempted to redirect Resident 5 and had a difficult time calming her/him down. On 9/13/23 Staff 6 (CNA) stated she observed Resident 5 with behaviors. Staff 6 stated Resident 5 became fixated on sexual behaviors and became upset about her/his diet and became very angry. Staff 6 stated if Resident 5 made a sexual statement to her she did not document it and ignored it. Staff 6 did not want other staff to refuse to work with Resident 5 because of her/his behaviors. On 9/15/23 at 10:10 AM Staff 12 stated she observed Resident 5 with sexual behaviors. Staff 12 stated Resident 5's sexual behaviors were directed toward her often, and she ignored them or told Resident 5 they were inappropriate. If Resident 5 was safe she left. If there was an incident, she notified the nurse or Staff 2 (DNS). Staff 12 stated she observed the incident on 8/18/23 and both Resident 4 and Resident 5 were waiting for dinner. Resident 5 became impatient waiting for her/his meal and called Resident 4 a mother fucker. Neither resident wanted to move. On 9/15/23 at 10:57 AM Staff 2 and Staff 24 (RCM-LPN) confirmed Resident 5's behaviors and indicated interventions should be documented.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to administer medications as ordered which resulted in a significant medication error for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#2) reviewed for safe medication system. This placed residents at risk for adverse medication consequences. Findings include: Resident 2 admitted to the facility in 2022 with diagnoses including malnutrition, cirrhosis (degenerative disease of the liver resulting in scarring and liver failure) of the liver. A 11/9/22 care plan indicated Resident 2 was on Hospice services. A 11/17/22 Alert Note indicated family was contacted by phone and notified Resident 2 was declining and if family wanted to visit they should come. The Chaplin was with Resident 2 in her/his room. A 11/18/22 Incident Note indicated Staff 3 (RN) administered sorbitol (to treat constipation), senna (to treat constipation), and Pepsi (to break up obstructions in tubing) through Resident 2's PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter, a long line inserted in a vein to be passed through to larger vein near heart) instead of the J-tube (tube inserted directly through the wall of the intestine to provide necessary medications and nutrition). Hospice was notified and the PICC line was flushed with sterile saline per verbal orders. Resident 2 was monitored for indication of pain and discomfort. The Incident Investigation Report for the 11/18/22 incident indicated liquid medications were administered through Resident 2's PICC line instead of her/his J-tube. Staff 3 reported to a supervisor and notified Hospice of the medication error. Resident 2 was actively transitioning before medication administration. The report indicated Staff 3 administered liquid sorbitol, senna and diazepam (used to treat anxiety, muscle spasms, and alcohol withdrawal) into the PICC line. Staff 2 indicated he pulled up the flush of Pepsi which was meant to go into the J-tube and started administering this as well into the PICC line and realized he was administering the medication in the wrong route and stopped administering the Pepsi. Because Resident 2 was on Hospice it was determined to keep her/him at the facility. The physician did not feel any immediate harm would come to the resident and gave orders to flush the PICC line. The facility submitted a FRI on 11/22/22 which revealed Resident 2 received liquid medication through a PICC line instead of the G-tube (a surgically placed device used to give direct access to the stomach for supplemental feeding, hydration and or medicine). On 9/11/23 Staff 3 confirmed the medication error on 11/18/22 and stated he was educated on medication administration. On 9/15/23 at 10:31 AM Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 24 (RCM-LPN) confirmed on 11/18/22 Staff 3 administered medication through the wrong route and a medication error occurred. Staff 24 stated Resident 2 had a PICC line, G-tube and a J-tube. The incident met the criteria for past non-compliance as follows: 1. The incident indicated non-compliance for F760. 2. There was sufficient evidence the facility corrected the non-compliance and was in substantial compliance with F760 as evidenced by: -No deficient practice was found at F760 with additional sampled residents. -The deficient practice was identified by the facility and the facility took immediate action to provide one on one counseling with the staff responsible for the medication error. -Medication Pass Observations were implemented for four weeks then went monthly for two months. -All licensed nurses completed competencies on 1/11/23.

A review of Resident 41's progress notes revealed levothyroxine was not administered because the pharmacy did not send the medication due to the refill being too soon. There was no documentation of Resident 41's physician being notified of the medication errors and no documentation of communication with the pharmacy. On 5/3/23 at 3:32 PM Staff 24 (LPN) stated when medications were not available the staff were to notify the physician to see what they wanted to do, which could include a medication change and labs. On 5/4/23 at 11:39 AM Staff 2 (DNS) reviewed Resident 41's medication record and confirmed the levothyroxine sodium was not administered and the physician was not notified as she expected. Staff 2 stated if the medication was not available due to insurance not paying for it she would sign a form to have the facility pay for the medication but she was not aware of this medication issue. Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure routine medication was obtained timely for 2 of 6 sampled residents (#s 11 and 41) reviewed for pain and medications. This placed residents at risk for medication withdrawal symptoms. Findings include: 1. Resident 11 was admitted to the facility in 9/2022 with diagnoses including ankylosing spondylitis (inflammatory arthritis). Resident 11's 9/22/22 MDS and associated CAAs indicated she/he was alert and oriented. A 1/2023 MAR revealed Resident 11 was to be administered Methadone (narcotic pain medication) four times a day at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM. On 1/14/23, a Saturday, Resident 11 did not receive her/his 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM doses. The resident also did not receive the 1/15/23 9:00 AM dose. The 1/14/23 at 4:53 PM Progress Notes indicated the Methadone was on order and the 8:29 PM note indicated the pharmacy was called and the prescription was not authorized to be filled until 1/15/23. There were no additional notes in the resident's record to indicate the physician was called to refill the prescription sooner to prevent missed routine pain medication administrations. A 3/2023 MAR revealed the resident was to be administered Methadone four times a day at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Resident 11 did not receive her/his Methadone on 3/12/23, a Sunday, at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM. The MAR also indicated Resident 11 did not receive her/his 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM Methadone doses on 3/13/23, or her/his 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM doses on 3/14/23.

The 3/13/23 notes also indicated the physician authorized 12 doses of Methadone but the pharmacy did not deliver the medication. The resident declined to be sent to the emergency room for pain management. The 3/14/23 Progress Note indicated staff called the pharmacy at 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM but had to leave messages. When the pharmacy returned the call they indicated the methadone should arrive today. On 5/4/23 at 10:59 AM Witness 7 (Pharmacy Technician) indicated if the facility knew a narcotic was going to run out on the weekend and the prescription could not be refilled sooner, the facility was to call the pharmacy before the weekend. This could prevent the resident from running out of medication and a late delivery. Witness 7 indicated delivery of a medication could take at least four hours so it was important for the facility to call the pharmacy the day before the medication ran out.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure appropriate bowel care was provided for 1 of 5 sampled residents (#31) reviewed for medications. This placed residents at risk for unmet bowel care needs. Findings include: Resident 31 was admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including chronic bilateral lower extremity skin ulcers and acute kidney failure. The resident's 2/18/21 care plan indicated she/he was at risk for constipation, ileus (slowing or stopping of intestinal movement) and impaction (hard stool in the colon that will not pass). The 1/2022 MAR indicated Resident 31 began receiving Miralax (laxative) twice daily on 11/20/21 when it was ordered. A 1/2/22 PN (Progress Note) revealed Resident 31 complained of constipation and pain and felt like she/he could not pass stool. The PN further revealed MOM (Milk of Magnesia - laxative) was administered, fluids were encouraged and the physician was notified. On 1/2/22 the physician was notified of Resident 31's complaint of feeling constipated and pain when trying to pass stool. The physician responded with an order to decrease the dose of Miralax to once daily. The resident's 4/2022 MAR indicated she/he had the following bowel care medications available for administration: - Senna Plus (laxative) BID routinely, - Miralax every morning routinely, - Bisacodyl suppository daily (laxative) PRN for constipation, and - MOM every PRN constipation or no BM in 48 hours. On 4/8/22 the following occurred: - 11:29 AM Resident 31 told the surveyor she/he was having a difficult time trying to pass some hard stool. The resident stated it was very painful and she/he wanted something to help with the BM (bowel movement) but she/he was given nothing. - 11:35 AM Staff 5 (Agency LPN) stated she would tell the CMA to give the resident a stool softener. Resident 31 continued calling out for assistance and did not use the call light. - The 4/2022 MAR revealed MOM was administered to Resident 31 at 11:46 AM by Staff 4 (CMA). The result was documented as unknown. - 11:50 AM, after administration of the MOM to Resident 31, Staff 4 stated she attempted to reposition the resident but the resident declined. - 11:53 AM Staff 4 stated the resident had pain related to constipation and took two bowel care medications. Staff 4 stated Resident 31's inability to reposition while in bed did not help with the constipation. - 12:00 PM Staff 3 (CNA) took Resident 31's lunch tray to her/his room. Staff 3 stated the resident reported she/he had constipation issues and was unable to eat. - 12:26 PM on 4/8/22 the surveyor heard Resident 31 calling out for help. According to the resident's medical record Resident 31 had no documented BMs from 4/6/22 at 1:59 PM through 4/9/22 at 12:33 PM. The 4/2022 MAR indicated Resident 31 was administered MOM on 4/10/22 at 9:59 AM and the result was documented as ineffective. On 4/10/22 at 5:31 PM Resident 31 was heard by the surveyor repeatedly calling out help from her/his room. At 5:41 PM on 4/10/22 the surveyor visited Resident 31 who was agitated and calling out to staff for help because she/he was unable to locate the call light. The resident stated she/he was trying to have a BM, but it was too hard and painful to pass. The resident's medical record revealed no documented BMs for Resident 31 on 4/10/22. On 4/11/22 at 12:56 AM the resident's medical record indicated a medium BM was documented. On 4/11/22 at 12:05 PM Resident 31 was observed lying in bed and there was a strong smell of BM. The resident stated she/he had been trying to have a BM but it was too painful. The resident further stated the problem with having BMs had been going on for awhile. The resident received MOM at 3:12 PM on 4/11/22 and the result was documented as ineffective. During an interview on 4/12/22 at 10:06 AM Staff 2 (DNS) revealed the bowel protocol followed by the facility was to provide MOM after three days without a BM, if the MOM was ineffective a suppository was administered and if there were no results an enema was administered.
