ciprofloxacin ophthalmic antibiotic eye drops on 08/29/2025 for Resident #1's right-eye redness without completing a nursing assessment or documenting any evaluation or assessment of the resident's condition.
Registered Nurse Supervisor #1 stated that there were no clinical indications documented to support why
the resident would need antibiotic eye drops. When asked where the care plan interventions were for the Resident #1's right-eye redness, Registered Nurse Supervisor #1 stated that they were probably rushing to complete an admission and that interventions should have been added on the care plan. Registered Nurse Supervisor #1 stated that every time there is a change in condition, the care plan should be updated to reflect new interventions and appropriate goals. 10 NYCRR 415.11(c)(1)

Ensure the resident's doctor reviews the resident's care, writes, signs and dates progress notes and orders, at each required visit. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interviews conducted during an Abbreviated Survey (2622688), the facility did not ensure physician supervision oversight of medical care for one (Resident #1) of (3) three residents reviewed for physician services. Specifically, an order for ciprofloxacin(antibiotic) eye drops was ordered for Resident #1's right eye on 08/29/2025 after redness was reported by family representative. There was no documented physician assessment or nursing assessment at the time the order was entered. The treatment began 08/30/2025, and Resident #1 was not evaluated by a medical provider until 09/04/2025 six days after
the change in condition was identified and after treatment had already been initiated.The findings include:The facility policy titled Physician Services, revised 05/2019 documented that a physician shall
review and document orders for the care and treatment of residents and shall evaluate residents as clinically indicated. The policy also stated that all verbal orders must be authenticated by the physician.
Resident #1 was admitted with diagnoses including dementia, anemia, and cardiac arrhythmias. The Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE REDACTED] documented that the resident had severe impaired cognition and required extensive assistance of one staff for toileting, personal hygiene, and bathing. Record review of the physician's orders dated 08/29/2025 documented that ciprofloxacin 0.3% ophthalmic drops, one drop to the right eye three times daily was created by Registered Nurse Supervisor #1 with a start date of 08/30/2025.
The order did not contain documentation of physician notification or assessment of the resident's change in condition. The medication administration record showed the eye drops was first administered on 08/30/2025. An initial Optum visit progress note dated 09/04/2025 at 11:06 AM documented that the resident was evaluated by a nurse practitioner and diagnosed with a subconjunctival hemorrhage to the right eye. The note did not reference the prior order for antibiotic eye drops. The note did not document response to treatment, and did not include an assessment of the resident at the time the antibiotic eye drops was initiated. During an interview on 10/29/2025 at 03:28 PM, Registered Nurse Supervisor #1 stated that ciprofloxacin(antibiotic) eye drops were ordered after a nurse notified them that the family representative for Resident #1 reported that the resident's eye appeared red.

Registered Nurse Supervisor #1 stated they could not recall the appearance of the resident's eye at
the time the order was entered. During an interview on 10/29/2025 at 02:56 PM, the Medical Director stated that physicians may not evaluate a resident immediately if they are unavailable or on vacation and that the covering provider may also be busy. When asked whether a resident receiving antibiotic eye drops should be assessed by a medical provider, the Medical Director stated they were unaware that six days had passed between when the order was first initiated and the first provider evaluation. During an interview on 10/29/2025 at 04:40 PM, Physician #1 stated that nurse practitioners are in the facility every day and that
they generally expect residents with a change in condition to be seen within two days. Physician #1 confirmed there was no documented evaluation of Resident #1 between 08/29/2025 and 09/04/2025 and stated that they had instructed staff to refer the resident to an ophthalmologist, but did not know whether
the resident was ever seen. No documentation of an ophthalmology referral or visit was found in the medical record. 10 NYCRR 415.15(b)(1)(i)-(ii)
