F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 43455 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that its medication error rate Residents Affected - Some was less than five percent (%). Two medication errors out of 31 total opportunities contributed to an overall medication error rate of 6.45% affecting one of four residents observed for medication administration (Resident 56.) The medication errors were as follows:
1. Resident 56 did not receive docusate (a medication used for bowel [intestine] management) as ordered by Resident 56's physician, and
2. Resident 56 received metformin (a medication used to treat high blood sugar levels) at a different time than ordered by Resident 56's physician.
These failures had the potential to result in Resident 56 to experience medication adverse effects (unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a medication may have) and the potential to result in Residents 56's health and well-being to be negatively impacted.
Findings:
During an observation on 8/21/24 at 9:06 AM, in Medication Cart Station 1, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 was observed administering metformin 500 milligram ([mg]-a unit of measure of mass) tablet to Resident 56. Resident 56 was observed swallowing the metformin tablet whole with ensure (a nutritional drink.) LVN 2 was observed not administering docusate 100 mg tablet to Resident 56.
During an interview on 8/21/24 11:07 AM, with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated that LVN 2 administered metformin 500 mg tablet and failed to prepare and administer docusate 100 mg tablet during the morning medication administration at 9:06 AM to Resident 56, as prescribed by Resident 56's physician. LVN 2 acknowledged
the physician's order specified to administer metformin at 7:30 AM with meals and docusate 100 mg at 9 AM. LVN 2 stated, per facility policy, there was a 60-minute window for medication administration and LVN 2 administered the metformin later than that timeframe. LVN 2 stated that Resident 56 was at risk of having stomach irritation from not administering metformin with meals at 7:30 AM, and at risk of having constipation from not administering docusate. LVN 2 stated these were considered medication errors. LVN 2 stated that LVN 2 will notify the physician for not administering docusate to Resident 56 and obtain additional orders as necessary.
During an interview on 8/23/24 10:19 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that LVN 2 failed to administer metformin 500 mg tablet and docusate 100 mg tablet according to physician orders, to Resident 56. The DON stated that Resident 56 may be at risk for developing stomach irritation from receiving metformin around 9 AM without a meal, and possibly experience constipation by not receiving docusate. The DON stated that licensed nurses should follow facility medication administration guidelines to ensure physician orders are followed and the right medications at the right times are administered to residents.

Food shall be safe, unadulterated, and, as specified under 3-601.12, honestly presented. 3-201.11 Compliance with Food Law. A primary line of defense ensuring that food meets the requirements of S3-101.11 is to obtain food from approved sources, the implications of which are discussed below. However, it is also critical to monitor food products to ensure that, after harvesting, processing, they do not fail victim to conditions that endanger their safety, make them adulterated, or compromise their honest presentation. The regulatory community, industry, and consumers should exercise vigilance in controlling the conditions to which foods are subjected and be alert to signs of abuse. FDA considers food in hermetically sealed containers that are swelled or leaking to be adulterated and actionable under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Depending on the circumstances, rusted, and pitted or dented cans may also present a serious potential hazard.

Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain accurate and complete clinical records in accordance with accepted professional standards and practices for four of 21 sampled residents (Residents 122, 125, 138, and 6) when:
a. Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5) did not accurately document the percentage (%, a unit of measurement) of Resident 122's meal intake.
b. Resident 6's August 2024 Restorative Nursing Aide (RNA, nursing aide program that help residents to maintain their function and joint mobility) Documentation Survey Report (record of nursing aide tasks) was not accurately documented when it did not indicate whether the right knee splint (rigid material or apparatus used to support and immobilize a broken bone or impaired joint) and both ankle foot orthosis (AFO, an orthotic device designed to correct or address problems with the ankle and foot) were put on and for how long.
c. Resident 6's August 2024 Restorative Nursing Weekly Summary - Splint Care was not accurately documented when it indicated Resident 6 received RNA for right knee splint seven (7) times a week when Resident 6 did not receive RNA treatment for right knee splint at least three to four times a week.
d. Resident 125's July 2024 and August 2024 RNA Documentation Survey Report was not accurately documented when it indicated Resident 125 received RNA for left elbow splint and both hand rolls (device to keep fingers open) 7 times a week when Resident 125 did not receive RNA treatment for left elbow splint and both hand rolls during RNA treatment.
e. Resident 138's August 2024 RNA Documentation Survey Report and Restorative Weekly Summary - Splint Care dated 8/5/24, 8/12/24, and 8/19/24 were not accurately documented when it indicated Resident 138 received RNA for left elbow splint, left resting hand splint, and right hand roll 7 times a week when Resident 138 did not receive RNA treatment for left elbow splint, left resting hand splint, and right hand roll 7 times a week.
f. Resident 138's August 2024 RNA Documentation Survey Report was also not accurately documented when it did not indicate whether Resident 138 completed sitting edge of bed or range of motion exercises
during RNA treatment.
These deficient practices contributed to inaccurate documentation in Residents 122, 6, 125, and 138's medical charts and had the potential for inaccurate reporting of joint range of motion limitations and assessment of RNA program for Residents 6, 125, and 138 and cause a delay in provision of appropriate interventions.

TN 1 stated she told CNA 5 where Resident 122's dirty tray was located, and she thought CNA 5 would look at the tray to determine the amount eaten. TN 1 stated CNA 5's documentation that indicated Resident 122 ate 100 % of the lunch meal was not accurate and CNA 5 should not have documented if she did not know how much the resident ate.
During an interview on 8/23/2024 at 12:11 p.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated CNA 5 and TN 1 did not properly communicate when CNA 5 documented Resident 122 ate 100% of the lunch meal. The ADON stated CNA 5 was responsible to look at the tray to determine the amount eaten. The ADON stated a resident's chart should contain accurate information, but Resident 122's chart was not accurate when CNA 5 documented the resident ate 100%. The ADON stated when a resident's chart contains documentation of inaccurate meal percentage intake, it would create discrepancies that may potentially result in a decline in
the resident's nutrition and further weight loss.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/23/24 at 8:57 AM, with Registered Nurse (RN) 7, RN 7 reviewed Resident 12's and 56's MAR for August 2024 and for June and July 2024, respectively. RN 7 stated that Resident 12 MAR indicated to rotate injection sites for Lantus and Resident 56 MARs indicated to rotate injection site for Novolog. RN 7 stated that for Resident 12 and 56 the MARs indicated there were multiple instances where the insulin administration sites were not rotated by several licensed nurses, as expected by standard of practice, manufacturer guidelines, and MAR order instructions. RN 7 stated the failure of the licensed nurses to rotate insulin administration sites could cause harm to Resident 12 and 56 by causing skin abnormalities such as lumps in the skin or thickened skin.
During an interview on 8/23/24, at 10:19 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON,) the DON stated that per facility policy and manufacturer guidelines it was common knowledge for licensed nurses to rotate insulin administration sites to prevent lipodystrophy to the sites that was frequently administered with insulin. The DON stated that several licensed nurses failed to rotate the insulin administration sites for Resident 12 and 56 and placed the residents at risk of harm from lipodystrophy.
A review of facility's Policy and Procedures (P&P) titled, Insulin Administration, dated September 2014, the P&P indicated: To provide guidelines for the safe administration of insulin to residents with diabetes.
3. The type of insulin, .and method of administration must be verified before administration, to assure that it corresponds with the order on the medication sheet and the physician's order.
16.b. injection sites should be rotated, preferably within the same general area.
A review of manufacturer's guide for Injecting Lantus with a vial and syringe, dated 2022, the guide indicated to Change (rotate) your injection sites within the area you chose with each dose to reduce your risk of getting lipodystrophy (pitted or thickened skin) and localized cutaneous amyloidosis (skin with lumps) at the injection sites. Do not use the same spot for each injection or inject where the skin is pitted, thickened, lumpy, tender, bruised, scaly, hard, scarred or damaged.

F 0688 During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/22/24 at 9:24 AM with Restorative Nursing Aide (RNA 1) of Resident 6's RNA treatment session in Resident 6's room, RNA 1 stated Resident 6 had an RNA order for Level of Harm - Minimal harm or AAROM for BUE and PROM for BLE and a right knee splint and both AFOs. RNA 1 removed a white hand potential for actual harm mitten from Resident 6's right hand and started to bend and straighten Resident 6's right knee. Resident 6's right knee was in a fully bent position and RNA 1 could straighten the right knee a little. RNA 1 moved the Residents Affected - Some right leg outward and in towards the body, and ankle away and towards the body. RNA 1 was able to move
the ankles a little. RNA 1 stated Resident 6 had pain with moving lower extremity so RNA 1 would try the upper extremity. RNA 1 attempted to straighten right elbow which were in bent position. RNA 1 stated Resident 6 was resisting, stopped the RNA treatment, left the room, and reported to Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 5). RNA 1 returned to Resident 6's room and stated RNA 1 would put on the AFOs. RNA 1 attempted to move left arm up, stated Resident 6 was resistive and stopped. RNA 1 retrieved both AFOs from cabinet and put on both ankles/feet. RNA 1 retrieved a blue right knee splint, attempted to straighten
the right knee, stated Resident 6 was resisting and did not put right knee splint on. LVN 5 entered the room and RNA 1 reported to LVN 5 that Resident 6 could not put on the right knee splint. RNA 1 stated Resident 6 was able to wear the right knee splint yesterday for about four to six hours, but usually Resident 6 could not wear the knee splint about four times a week.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/22/24 at 9:52 AM, RNA 1 stated on 8/18/24 Resident 6 did not tolerate the right knee splint. RNA 1 reviewed RNA daily task documentation on 8/18/24 and stated no, he did not document that Resident 6 did not tolerate the right knee splint. RNA 1 stated he did not report
this to the charge nurse. RNA 1 stated Resident 6 had not been tolerating the right knee splint about three to four times a week for many weeks but could not remember for how long. RNA 1 stated he should have documented and reported to nursing and rehabilitation department whenever Resident 6 did not tolerate any part of the RNA treatment, including when Resident 6 was resisting range of motion and ROM could not be completed or could not wear the right knee splint.
During an interview on 8/22/24 at 11:43 AM, LVN 5 stated today was the first time that RNA 1 reported that Resident 6 did not tolerate the ROM exercises or did not wear the right knee splint.
During an interview and record review on 8/22/24 at 1:52 PM with Physical Therapist (PT 1), the PT DC Summary dated 5/9/24 was reviewed. PT 1 stated the PT recommended an RNA program for BLE PROM followed by putting on right knee splint and both AFOs for 4-6 hours. PT 1 stated PTs recommend RNA program for PROM and splinting to help stretch the muscle and prevent further contractures. PT 1 stated contractures can limit a person's mobility, for example a contracture can prevent you from sitting, transferring to a shower chair, and moving around in bed. PT 1 stated when an RNA program was created, it was the expectation that the RNAs follow the whole RNA program, because the RNA program was established specifically for Resident 6 to help prevent contractures. PT 1 stated today was the first time PT 1 was aware that Resident 6 could not tolerate the right knee splint. PT 1 stated it was important for RNA to report if Resident 6 could not tolerate any part of the RNA program because PT could assess and complete an PT evaluation if needed and to assess of the current RNA program and knee splint was still appropriate for Resident 6.

RNA 2 stated sometimes he put on the hand roll and left Level of Harm - Minimal harm or elbow splint and sometimes Resident 138 wore the splint and hand roll for 1-2 hours. RNA 2 stated if potential for actual harm Resident 138 only wore left elbow splint and hand roll for 1-2 hours, then he should document it. RNA 2 stated if Resident 138 did not wear the splints or hand roll, then he should document that Resident 138 did Residents Affected - Some not wear the splints. RNA 2 reviewed the August RNA treatment record and stated the August RNA documentation showed Resident 138 wore the splints every day for 4 hours. RNA 2 stated it was not documented that Resident 138 only wore the left elbow splint and hand roll for 1-2 hours. RNA 2 stated there was no place to document if Resident 138 completed ROM or sat edge of bed. RNA 2 stated Resident 138 did not complete sitting edge of bed exercises every day, but there was nowhere to document that.
During an interview and record review on 8/22/24 at 11:15 AM, RN 4 stated she was not aware of Resident 138 not wearing or tolerating the elbow splint or hand rolls. RN 4 stated she did not see Resident 138 wearing an elbow splint or hand splints. RN 4 stated Resident 138 was alert and oriented and was able to tell you if he put on an elbow splint, hand splint, or hand rolls. RN 4 reviewed Resident 138's RNA daily documentation in August 2024 and stated the RNA documentation indicated the resident was wearing the splints for 4 hours on 8/21/24. RN 4 stated if Resident 138 was wearing the splint for only 1 hour, then the documentation should indicate the resident wore it for 1 hour and not 4 hours. RN 4 stated the RNA documentation was not accurate. RN 4 stated the documentation should be accurate because we would think Resident 138 was wearing the splint for 4 hours, but in reality, he was only wearing it for 1 hour so we are not getting accurate information for assessments and to make decisions on his care.
During an interview on 8/22/24 at 4:35 PM, DON stated RNA program was a restorative nursing program to help make sure the mobility of residents was maintained. DON stated if the RNAs were not following the RNA order, then there was a risk of decline in function for the residents. DON stated it was important for RNAs to notify nursing so that they could notify the physician and rehab dept so that the facility could further assess and intervene. DON stated the RNA documentation for Resident 138 was not accurate and RNAs should not put 4 hours if the RNA was not putting on the splints or only putting on splints for 1 hour. DON stated the RNA should report to nursing anytime they were not following the RNA order for any reason. DON also stated there was nowhere in the RNA documentation to document if the resident completed the edge of bed exercises or ROM, it only indicated if the resident put on the splint and for how long.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Restorative Nursing Program, last reviewed 4/17/24, the P&P indicated the purpose of the RNA program was to maintain residents functional ability and to reduce further decline. The P&P also indicated weekly assessments are to be made of the resident's progress in the RNP by the restorative nurse and documented in the resident's medical record. Any change
in the resident's condition or response to treatment is reported to nursing and documented in the medical record.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 44376
Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the resident's environment was free of accident hazards for four out of four sampled residents (Residents 74, 73, 30, and 19) by failing to ensure:
1. Resident 74's oxygen concentrator (a medical device that separates nitrogen from the air so that 95% of pure oxygen can be breathed in) was not placed on top of the fall mat (safety features that are placed on the floor along the side of the bed in the home or next to a hospital bed).
The deficient practice lessened the effectiveness of the fall mat to prevent falls with injury by placing a heavy equipment and furniture on top of the fall mat, decreasing its effectiveness to lessen the impact of a fall due to permanent dented mat surface and potential of the residents hitting the hard surfaces of the heavy equipment and furniture.
2. Resident 73's low bed (a bed less than a foot from the floor) was placed at the lowest position after performing resident care.
The deficient practice of not keeping the bed in its lowest position placed the resident at risk for falls resulting
in injuries, and even death.
3. Resident 30's long pull cord for the resident's tab alarm (fall management device system that enables reliable monitoring of individuals at risk of falls, whether in a bed, wheelchair, or the restroom) was not long enough to entangle and choke the resident.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in resident sustaining injury caused by the length of the string attached to the resident with a with a clip from the tab alarm device.
4. Resident 19's one open tube of hydrocortisone cream (a topical medication used to treat skin conditions such as itching and swelling) one percent (%, a unit of measurement) and one tube of petroleum jelly (a topical ointment used to treat or prevent minor skin irritations) were not left unattended and readily available at the resident's bedside.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in residents self-administering medications without staff knowledge resulting in overdose, poisoning from ingestion, or a delay in care and services.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 74's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated the facility admitted
the resident on 5/11/2024, and readmitted the resident on 5/23/2024, with diagnoses including tracheostomy (an opening surgically created through the neck into the trachea [windpipe] to allow air to fill the lungs), dementia (a range of neurological conditions affecting the brain that worsens over time), and transient ischemic attack (TIA, a stroke that lasts only a few minutes).

the kidney through an opening in the skin on the back).
8. Place a securement device/anchor on the Resident 150's urinary catheter.
These deficient practices had the potential for residents to develop catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI, an infection of the urinary tract caused by an indwelling catheter) and resulted in hospitalization of Resident 417 for evaluation of decreased urinary output.

F 0690 -On 8/14/2024, RN 8 re-inserted Resident 417's FC, RN 8 did not use sterile gloves (individually packaged in pairs that are treated to ensure they are free from microorganisms) or provide a sterile field (a surface Level of Harm - Minimal harm or considered to be free from microorganisms). FM 1 stated RN 8 used clean gloves (typically packaged in bulk potential for actual harm and used for general purposes) for the FC insertion.
Residents Affected - Some -On 8/21/2024, Resident 417 was hospitalized because the facility did not accurately monitor and measure Resident 417's urine output which resulted in the need for an evaluation of Resident 417's kidney (organ that remove waste and extra water from the blood as urine) function.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/22/2024 at 4:23 p.m., with RN 8 reviewed Resident 417's physician orders, Medication Administration Record dated 8/2024, and Treatment Administration
Record dated 8/2024. RN 8 stated she re-inserted Resident 417's FC using only clean gloves obtained from inside Resident 417's room. RN 8 stated sterile gloves should be worn for FC insertion to prevent contamination and to prevent infection. RN 8 stated she knew she should use sterile gloves, but she could not find any. RN 8 stated there should also be a sterile drape place under the resident to provide a sterile field during FC insertion, but she did not use a sterile drape because she did not have one.
RN 8 further stated residents with foley catheters should have documented measurements of urine output. RN 8 stated it was important to document urine output to determine if the resident is not producing enough urine or if there is a problem with the FC. RN 8 stated between 8/14/2024 and 8/21/2024 there was no documented evidence of Resident 417's measured urine output. RN 8 stated when a resident does not have documented evidence of measured urine output there is the potential that staff would not know the resident had a change of condition and was retaining urine or that there was a problem with the FC. RN 8 stated it was important to identify this change of condition to notify the physician to formulate interventions because there is the potential that the resident may develop urosepsis (a medical emergency that occurs when a UTI spreads to the kidneys).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/23/2024 at 11 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON),
the DON reviewed the facility policy and procedures regarding FCs and documentation. The DON stated the facility policy indicated to provide a sterile field and to wear sterile gloves for FC insertion. The DON stated RN 8 told the DON that she did not use a sterile technique when inserting Resident 417's FC. The DON stated the facility had a FC sterile kit in the supply room and RN 8 had the keys to the supply room and should have used the sterile kit. The DON stated it was important to use a sterile technique with FC insertion because there was a risk for infection.
The DON further stated FC urine output should be measured and documented every shift. The DON stated
on 8/21/24, FM 1 requested the urine output measurement of Resident 417, but there was no documented evidence of the urine output measurements between 8/14/2024 and 8/21/2024. The DON stated because there was no documented measurements of urine output, Resident 417's physician agreed to send the resident to GACH for an evaluation. The DON stated the importance of documentation is so everyone knows what is going on with a resident. The DON stated when everyone is unaware of a resident's status it affects their plan of care. The DON stated the facility policies were not followed when there was no documentation for Resident 417's FC removal, no documented monitoring for retention, RN 8 did not use a sterile technique for FC insertion, and FC urine output was not monitored. The DON stated when the policy was not followed there was a potential for further complications of Resident 417's FC resulting in a decline in the resident with possible further hospitalization s.

Residents Affected - Some Based on interview and record review the facility failed to:
1. Account for five doses of Controlled Medications (also known as Controlled Drug and Controlled Substance [CM, CD, CS]- medications which have a potential for abuse and may also lead to physical or psychological dependence) for Residents 30, 42, 60, 123, and 317 in one of five inspected medication carts (Medication Cart Station 1)
2. Document and dispose (remove or destroy) an Ativan (a CM) vial for Resident 143 in the presence of two witnesses, in one of three inspected medication rooms (Medication Room Subacute.)
As a result, control and accountability of CMs did not follow state and federal regulations and facility policy and procedures.
These deficient practices increased the opportunity for CM diversion (the transfer of a controlled medication or other medication from a lawful to an unlawful channel of distribution or use), the risk that Residents 30, 42, 60, 123, and 317 could have delayed medication treatment and continuity of care due to lack of availability of
the CM, and the potential for accidental exposure to harmful medications to all residents, possibly leading to physical and psychosocial harm and hospitalization .
Findings:
During an observation on [DATE REDACTED] at 12:30 PM in Medication Room Subacute, in the presence of Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 and Registered Nurse (RN) 4, the Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record accountability log was found without the date and signatures of the licensed staff (RN or Director of Nursing [DON] and Consultant Pharmacist [CP]) involved in the disposition of 22.5 milliliter ([ml] - a unit of measure of volume) remaining in the Ativan vial for Resident 143.
During a concurrent interview, in the presence of LVN 4, RN 4 stated that RN 4 disposed 22.5 ml remaining
in the Ativan vial for Resident 143 on [DATE REDACTED] in the pharmaceutical bin located in the Medication Room Subacute because the Ativan vial was expired, and forgot to hand over the vial along with the Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record accountability log to the DON for disposal and documentation with the CP. RN 4 stated that usually RN 4 hands over the CM pending disposal to the DON along with the Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record accountability log so that the DON disposes in the presence of the CP. RN 4 stated that RN 4 overlooked that the Ativan was a CM and failed to follow the CM disposal policy compromising accountability of CM. RN 4 stated that failure to follow CM disposal policy and process can create opportunity for diversion, and harm staff and residents by exposing them to harmful substances.
During an observation on [DATE REDACTED] at 2:06 PM, with LVN 3, in Medication Cart Station 1, there was a discrepancy in the count between the Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record accountability log and the amount of medication remaining in the medication bubble pack (medication packaging system that contains individual doses of medication per bubble) for the following residents:

F 0756 Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 43455
Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Consultant Pharmacist's (CP) recommendation for June 2024 Medication Regimen Review ([MRR] - a thorough evaluation of the medication regimen of a resident, with the goal of promoting positive outcomes and minimizing adverse consequences and potential risks associated with medication) note was reviewed, addressed or carried out as per facility policy and procedure for one of five sampled residents (Resident 56).
The deficient practice increased the risk of receiving medication that was not optimal for Resident 56's medical condition, that would not maintain the resident's highest level of physical, mental and psychosocial well-being and/or increase the risk of side effects (a type of adverse effects [unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a drug may have]) from the medication therapy.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 56's Admission Record (a document containing demographic and diagnostic information,) dated 8/21/24, indicated the resident was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease ([GERD] - a condition where there is a backward flow of stomach acid into the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach.)
During a review of Resident 56's Order Summary Report, dated 8/21/24, indicated Resident 56 was prescribed pantoprazole (a proton pump inhibitor [PPI] medication used for GERD) 40 milligrams ([mg] - unit of measure of mass) to give 1 tablet orally once a day AC (before) breakfast for GERD, starting 10/12/23.
During a review of Resident 56's Medication Administration Record ([MAR] - a document of the medications administered to a resident that is part of the resident's permanent medical record,) for August 2024, the MAR indicated Resident 56 was prescribed pantoprazole 40 mg to give 1 tablet orally once a day AC breakfast for GERD, at 6:30 AM.
During a review of the MRR note by the CP for Resident 56 on 8/22/24 at 10:17 AM, the note was dated 6/26/24 and indicated Resident has been taking pantoprazole 40 mg daily for GERD since 10/13/2023. Long term use of PPIs may increase the risk of Clostridioides difficile ([C.diff] - a bacteria that causes diarrhea,) osteoporosis (a condition where bones are weakened, become brittle and break), hypomagnesemia (having low magnesium levels in the blood,) and Chronic Kidney Disease ([CKD]- a condition where the kidneys [organ that filters waste] are damaged.) Recommendation is to re-evaluate use after 8 to 12 weeks to reduce risk of long term side effects. Please evaluate Risks/Benefits of pantoprazole for this patient. If appropriate, may we consider dose reduction to pantoprazole 20 mg QD at this time? YES___NO___ Thank you.

RN 9 stated that RN 9 contacted the physician prior to the interview and obtained a telephone order addressing the CP MRR note for Resident Residents Affected - Few 56. RN 9 stated continuing pantoprazole longer than necessary increases the risk of hypomagnesemia, C. diff, osteoporosis and CKD for Resident 56.,
During an interview on 8/23/24 at 10:19 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON,) the DON stated per facility policy the MRR irregularity notes by the CP needed to be reviewed and documented within 30 days of the written report. The DON stated it was important to review the irregularities timely to ensure residents were receiving treatment that was optimal for their condition, to maintain their highest level of well-being, and be free from unnecessary medications and harm from their side effects. The DON stated the facility and physician failed to timely review and address the CP MRR note written on 6/26/24 for the continued use of pantoprazole and failed to timely document a clinical rationale for continuing the pantoprazole 40 mg daily, as originally prescribed for GERD on 10/13/23 for Resident 56.

F 0757 Ensure each residentβs drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 43455 potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled residents (Residents Residents Affected - Few 126) was free from unnecessary medications by not implementing adequate monitoring for Melatonin (a medication used to regulate circadian rhythm [body's sleep and wake cycle]). As a result, Resident 126 was not monitored for hours of sleep and for the effectiveness and side effects (also known as adverse effects - unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a drug may have) of Melatonin since 7/8/24.
This deficient practice had the potential to cause Resident 126 to receive suboptimal (less than the highest standard or quality) care, and inability to assess the effectiveness of Melatonin for sleep, leading to the use of unnecessary medications causing potential side effects and negatively impacting their physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
