Failure to Use EBP During Wound Care An RN completed wound care for a resident with a pressure injury without using EBP, despite the care plan directing EBP and supplies being readily available. The resident required extensive assistance with mobility and had diagnoses including malnutrition, pressure ulcer, and bacteremia. The ADON observed the treatment and acknowledged the RN did not implement EBP as expected, and the RN later stated she did not don a gown during the wound care.
Medication administration errors occurred when an LPN gave one resident another resident’s AM meds, including BP-lowering drugs, and the resident later developed hypotension and was sent to the hospital ICU. Another resident received both a discontinued and a newly ordered metoprolol dose, and a third resident received 12 units of insulin without an order after staff confused residents with similar appearance and room locations.
Failure to Use Enhanced Barrier Precautions During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. The facility failed to implement enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) during wound care for one resident with a pressure-related injury. The resident’s MDS showed maximal assistance was needed to roll left to right and dependence on staff for transfers, with diagnoses including malnutrition, pressure ulcer, and bacteremia. The care plan initiated 1/20/26 directed staff to provide EBP for the resident’s pressure-related injury, and a physician order initiated 2/21/26 directed application of Mepilex to the sacral wound with cleansing and patting dry at each change. During an observation on 2/25/26, an RN completed wound care to the resident’s sacrum without implementing EBP before or during the treatment, even though the ADON was present and observing during the initial stages. On 2/25/26, the ADON acknowledged the RN did not implement EBP as expected, and on 2/26/26 the RN acknowledged not donning a gown as part of EBP while completing the wound care, stating the EBP supplies were readily available in the resident’s bathroom.
Medication Administration Errors Involving Wrong Resident, Duplicate Beta-Blocker Dosing, and Unordered Insulin
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure residents received medications as ordered for three residents reviewed. One resident with chronic kidney disease, anxiety, depression, and severe cognitive impairment was given another resident’s morning medications after staff asked her name and she nodded when asked if she was the other resident. The medications given in error included multiple blood pressure-lowering agents and other routine medications intended for the other resident. After the error was discovered, the resident’s blood pressure and pulse were monitored, and the record shows progressive hypotension and bradycardia throughout the day, with the resident later transferred to the hospital and admitted to the ICU for low blood pressure due to medications. A second resident with hypertension and orthostatic hypotension received an additional dose of metoprolol after staff administered both a discontinued metoprolol order and a newly ordered metoprolol order. The record documented that the resident received an extra dose of metoprolol on the morning of the error, and the nurse practitioner was notified. Vital signs were monitored after the error, and the incident note documented that the resident’s vital signs were stable. The medication administration record showed the discontinued metoprolol order and the new metoprolol order overlapped in the charting process, and staff later stated the old medication card had not been removed. A third resident with diabetes and moderate cognitive impairment received 12 units of insulin that had not been ordered for him. The resident had no insulin orders on the MDS, yet the medication error report and nursing note documented that insulin was administered in error. Staff later stated the resident and another resident were similar in appearance and were located across the hall from each other, and the insulin was given after the resident acknowledged the nurse’s statement that she was there to give insulin. The error was recognized only after charting, when staff noticed the room number did not match the resident who had received the injection.
