Health deficiencies cited at Hammond Health Services during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents received prescription medications applied by unqualified staff in a facility. An LPN found prescription creams and powders in a resident's room and confirmed that only nurses should apply them. However, a CNA had applied the creams, violating the facility's policy. The DON confirmed that CNAs are not allowed to administer medications, and the RN noted that medications should only be left in a resident's room if there is a self-administration order.
Unqualified Staff Administering Prescription Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that prescription medications were administered by qualified staff to residents, as observed in two instances. For one resident, prescription creams and powders were found on the bedside dresser, and a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was unsure why they were there. The LPN confirmed that only nurses are supposed to apply prescription creams, yet a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) had applied the creams after the resident's bath. The LPN also noted that prescription creams should be stored in a locked medication cart, not in the resident's room. In another instance, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that CNAs are not permitted to administer any medications, including topical ones. The DON had already removed the topical medications from the resident's room. The Registered Nurse (RN) also confirmed that CNAs are not allowed to apply prescription creams and that medications might only be left in a resident's room if there is an order for self-administration. These observations indicate a breach in the facility's medication administration policy, which requires that medications be prepared and administered only by licensed personnel.
