F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 46691 potential for actual harm Based on observations, staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility's policy titled Administering Residents Affected - Few Medications, the facility failed to ensure the medication error rate was less than five percent. There were two errors with 26 opportunities for one of five residents R (Resident R35) for a medication error rate of 7.69 percent.
These failures had the potential to place Resident R35 at risk of medical complications and decreased therapeutic effects of medications.
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy titled Administering Medications, revised April 2019, revealed the Policy Heading section stated, Medications are to be administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. The Policy Interpretation and Implementation section included . 10. The individual administering the medication checks the label THREE (3) times to verify the right resident, right medication, right dosage, right time, and right method (route) of administration before giving the medication.
Review of Resident R35's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) under Admission Record revealed diagnoses including, but not limited to, type 2 diabetes and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Review of Resident R35's EMR under Clinical Physician's Orders revealed an order dated 12/21/2024 for Linzess oral capsule 145 micrograms (mcg), two capsules one time a day for IBS. Further review revealed an order dated 12/26/2024 for NovoLog Flex Pen subcutaneous solution pen-injector 100 unit/milliliter (ml) (insulin aspart) [a medication used to treat diabetes] inject per sliding scale. The sliding scale order included administering four units of insulin if the resident's finger-stick blood sugar (FSBS) was 206 to 235.
During medication pass observation on 2/8/2025 at 10:35 am, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) AA was observed administering medications to Resident R35. The medications administered included Linzess oral capsule 290 mg two capsules. Further observation revealed she checked Resident R35's FSBS and determined, based on the physician's order for sliding scale insulin, that Resident R35 required four units of insulin. Observation revealed LPN AA to dial the dose of four units on the NovoLog Flex Pen and administer the insulin to Resident R35. She was not observed to prime the insulin pen needle with two units of insulin before dialing the dose on the pen.
In an interview on 2/8/2025 at 10:45 am, LPN AA verified the container of Linzess was labeled as 290 mg per capsule and confirmed she administered Linzess 290 mg two capsules to Resident R35. She verified the physician's order was for Linzess 145 mg capsules, two capsules one time a day. She stated she was unaware the label on the Linzess stated it was 290 mg capsules. She further stated she should have looked at the dosage on the medication bottle before administering the medication and would notify the provider for further instruction. During a continued interview, LPN AA confirmed she did not prime the NovoLog insulin pen needle with two units of insulin before dialing the dosage on the pen to four units and administering it to Resident R35. She stated she was unaware she should prime the needle before dialing the dose on the pen.

F 0759 In an interview on 2/9/2025 at 10:45 am, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated her expectations were for nurses to follow the five rights of medication administration and ensure medications were administered Level of Harm - Minimal harm or according to physician orders. She stated the nurse should ensure the correct medication and dosage was potential for actual harm administered to the correct resident at the correct time and by the correct route. She further stated that administering an incorrect medication dosage could potentially cause adverse effects for the resident. During Residents Affected - Few further interview, the DON stated she expected nurses to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the administration of insulin via an insulin pen.
