Crushed Enteric-Coated Aspirin During Medication Pass: An LPN prepared an enteric-coated aspirin 81 mg tablet with other meds in a crushing bag and began crushing them for a resident with dementia and significant cardiac and cerebrovascular history. The LPN stated the resident would spit out meds if not crushed and acknowledged the aspirin should not be crushed after reviewing the order. The pharmacist confirmed enteric-coated aspirin should not be crushed because it is meant to absorb in the intestines and crushing it does not align with professional standards.

Summary
The facility failed to ensure medication was prepared in accordance with professional standards for a resident with dementia, hypertension, coronary angioplasty implant and graft, and a history of cerebral infarction. The resident’s quarterly MDS identified severe cognitive impairment and dependence for multiple activities of daily living, and the care plan noted risk for impaired cardiac function related to multiple cerebrovascular accidents with residual atrial fibrillation, coronary artery bypass graft, hypertension, and deep vein thrombosis. The physician’s order for aspirin enteric coated 81 mg directed one tablet daily. During medication administration observation, an LPN placed aspirin enteric coated 81 mg together with carbamazepine, amlodipine, and olanzapine into a plastic bag used for crushing medications and then began crushing them. When questioned, the LPN stated all of the medications in the bag could be crushed and said the resident would spit out medication if it was not crushed. After reviewing the order, the LPN acknowledged the enteric coated aspirin should not be crushed but stated he had crushed it in the past and would follow up with the APRN. The pharmacist stated enteric coated aspirin should not be crushed because the coating allows absorption in the intestines rather than the stomach and that crushing it does not align with professional standards of medication administration.
