Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 50940 potential for actual harm Based on observations, staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility policy titled, Medication Residents Affected - Few Administration: General Guidelines, the facility failed to adhere to accepted standards of quality care by crushing medications that cannot be opened or crushed in one out of seven residents observed during a medication pass, and not measuring the correct dosage of Diclofenac ointment (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain and inflammation) in one out of seven residents (R) (Resident R12) who have diclofenac ointment ordered.
This deficient practice could result in serious adverse effects, including an increased risk of medication side effects or reduced efficacy due to improper administration techniques.
Findings include:
A review of the facility policy Medication Administration: General Guidelines revised 4/10/2019 reveals that Medications are administered as prescribed. 2. Medications are administered in accordance with written orders of the attending physician .If a dose seems excessive considering the resident's age or condition, or a medication order seems to be unrelated to the resident's current diagnosis or condition, the physician is contacted for clarification prior to the administration of the medication. 21. Liquid dosage forms may be used whenever physically practical in place of solid tablets that would have to be crushed and especially for administration through enteral feeding tubes. The nurse checks with their provider pharmacy to determine if
a liquid form is available and covered by the applicable payment program. The physician is contacted for a new order before changing the dosage, unless the physician has previously authorized that alternate dosage forms of the ordered drug may be used if necessary and appropriate. 22. If it is safe to do so, medication tablets may be crushed or capsules emptied out when a patient/ resident has difficulty swallowing or is tube fed using the following guidelines:
-long-acting or enteric-coated dosage forms should generally not be crushed and require a physician-specific order to do so. The physician must record in the medical records that the benefit of crushing the dosage form outweighs any potential risk.
-The need for crushing medications is indicated on the patient/ resident paper MAR or e-MAR so that all personnel administering medications are aware of this need and the consultant pharmacist can advise on safety and alternatives, if appropriate, during paper MAR or e-MAR reviews.
Resident R12 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including, but not limited to old cerebral infraction, aphagia and dysphagia, pneumonia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, chronic pain syndrome, dysarthria and anarthria, and pain in left knee.
A review of the most recent Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE REDACTED] revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of 9, indicating the resident has moderate cognitive deficit. Section K, Swallowing/Nutrition Status, indicated the resident is on a mechanically altered diet. Section J indicates that
the resident is experiencing pain.

Review of the Orders for rivastigmine tartrate; 3 milligram (mg); 1 cap; oral with a start on 11/2/2023. Special Instructions: Do not crush.
During the med pass conducted on 1/16/2025 at 8:45 am by a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) AA on a Resident R12,
it was observed that when administering medications to the resident, she crushed them finely and mixed them with water, stating that the resident could not swallow them. Upon reviewing the medications, some medications, such as extended-release potassium chloride capsules and rivastigmine tartrate capsules, were identified to not be opened or crushed, as indicated on the medication package and in the order. LPN AA agreed that she should have contacted the pharmacist or the doctor to explore alternative forms of the medications.
When further observing the LPN AA administering Diclofenac gel to the resident, LPN AA was noted to squeeze an unmeasured amount of the ointment into a small medicine cup, locking the tube back into the med cart, and proceeded to the resident's room. When LPN AA was questioned about how she ensured she was administering the doctor-ordered 4 grams (g) of the gel, the LPN AA admitted she did not know how to measure it correctly.
An interview with a Unit Manager (UM) for the first floor, LPN BB on 1/16/2024 at 12:00 pm revealed that if a resident cannot swallow a pill, they would call the pharmacy to clarify if a medication could be crushed, or if it could be changed to another form. She further reported that they would then reach out to the doctor to get it okayed by the MD. UM LPN BB reported that the correct way of measuring the diclofenac ointment is to squeeze the gel on a measuring card to ensure the correct dosage is administered.
During an interview with UM LPN CC on 1/16/2025 at 12:05 pm she revealed that if a resident cannot swallow a medication, the nurse should first call the pharmacy to see whether the medication can be changed to another form. UM LPN CC reported the correct way of measuring and administering diclofenac ointment, was to just squeeze the gel into a small medication cup. UM LPN CC further reported that she would use somewhere around 5-15 ml but was unclear on the precise amount. When asked about using the measuring card that comes with the medication UM LPN CC revealed that she was unaware of the measuring card.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/16/2025 at 12:50 pm, it was revealed that if a resident has problems swallowing medication and the extended-release capsule cannot be opened or crushed, they call the pharmacy and then a doctor to get it switched to another form, if possible. The DON then stated that they do not measure and administer it liberally when referring to the correct way of measuring diclofenac ointment. The DON acknowledged not being aware that the ointment comes with a measuring card and was not sure if there was a policy concerning this.

the Medication Administration Record (MAR) if a medication cannot be crushed or if a capsule cannot be Level of Harm - Minimal harm or opened. She further stated that nurses often notice and inform the pharmacy services when a resident has potential for actual harm difficulty swallowing. At this point the pharmacy would advise them if an alternative form is available. Nurses then return to the doctor to have the order changed. The DON further explained that when a resident is Residents Affected - Few admitted to the facility, and their medications are entered, the staff are attentive for signs of dysphagia and notifying pharmacists. In such cases, alternative forms of medication are explored. For instance, potassium chloride (KCL) can be switched to a liquid form, and rivastigmine (Exelon) also comes in a transdermal form.

Specifically, oxygen equipment (nasal cannula) was hung over the humidifier and touched
the floor when not in use for Resident R23 and the facility failed to use appropriate Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for a resident Resident R3 on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) of 50 sampled residents. This deficient practice could risk equipment contamination, increasing the likelihood of infections and health complications.
Findings include:
1.A policy on maintaining oxygen supplies, such as nasal cannulas, under sanitary conditions was requested but not provided.
A review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) revealed that Resident R23 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including, but not limited to intracerebral hemorrhage, pneumonia, nasal congestion, pulmonary nodule, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, and COVID-19.
A review of the recent Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE REDACTED] documented Resident R23 had a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of 14 indicating intact cognition. Further review of the MDS revealed that Resident R23 received oxygen therapy.
Review of the care plan dated 1/14/2025 for Resident R23 revealed a problem: Resident needs nebulizer treatment/Oxygen (O2) use related to history of pneumonia, respiratory failure, COVID-19 with a goal that Resident will not exhibit signs of hypoxia (cyanosis, tachypnea, dyspnea, confusion, restlessness, nasal flaring, elevated blood pressure, increased respirations, increased pulse) with approach: Monitor oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry as ordered/needed, administer nebulizer treatment/O2 as ordered.
A review of the Physician Orders for Resident R23 revealed an order dated 11/18/2024 for O2 at 2 liters (L) via nasal cannula (NC) as needed to keep O2 saturation (sat) above 95%. Change respiratory supplies weekly on Sundays.
