Failure to Update Care Plan for Cardiac Diagnoses and Medications
D
F0657 F657: Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals.
Short Summary

Failure to Update Care Plan for Cardiac Diagnoses and Medications: A resident’s comprehensive care plan did not include documented cardiac diagnoses or cardiac medications despite MDS and hospital records showing atrial fibrillation, HF, HTN, acute CHF, and hypoxemia. The MAR listed daily cardiac-related medications, but the care plan only addressed diuretic use related to edema. Interviews showed the DON, MDS Coordinator, and Regional Nurse Consultant had differing views on care planning requirements.

Medication Error Rate Exceeded Allowable Threshold
D
F0759 F759: Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Short Summary

Medication administration errors caused the facility’s error rate to exceed the allowable threshold. During a med pass, an LPN administered Breo Ellipta to a resident without instructing mouth rinsing afterward and gave levothyroxine after breakfast even though the MAR directed it be given on an empty stomach. Review of ordered meds found two errors among 26 medications, for an overall error rate of 7.7%.

Failure to Update Care Plans for High-Risk Medications
D
F0656 F656: Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured.
Short Summary

The facility failed to update care plans for three residents to include information on high-risk medications and their side effects. A resident with cancer, hypertension, and diabetes was on diuretics without side effect information in the care plan. Another resident with severe cognitive impairment was prescribed morphine, but the care plan lacked details on its usage and side effects. A third resident on anticoagulants also had an incomplete care plan. Interviews revealed reliance on a baseline care plan policy without subsequent updates.
