The open wound had a white ring around the outside edge of the wound. The Wound NP indicated the area did not have any dead/necrotic tissue and staged it as a stage II pressure ulcer (an open sore or blister that indicated partial thickness loss of the skin).
During an interview, on 10/11/2024 at 1:25 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated the pressure area to the heel was not present on admission. The nurse had made a mistake when she documented it as present on admission as an ulcer. There was no other documentation in the chart that indicated the DTI was found on admission. The DON indicated the nurse realized she had coded the wound incorrectly on the Wound Management Detail Report, completed on 10/4/2024. The nurse had contacted the Wound NP and the wound should have been identified as in-house acquired. When questioned as to why the current care plan for the foot ulcer did not include specific interventions to prevent pressure on the resident's heels, such as floating his heels, the DON indicated the resident's mattresses were pressure relieving.

Finding Description

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to clarify conflicting hospital discharge orders and previous medication orders for appropriate dosing of a blood pressure medication. This deficient practice resulted in a significant medication error which required hospitalization for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for hospitalization. (Resident 9)
Finding includes:
A record review was completed for Resident 9 on 10/10/2024 at 8:29 A.M. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to: congestive heart failure, hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, and essential hypertension
Resident 9's record indicated she returned to the facility on 6/24/2024 at 1:30 P.M. after a hospitalization for sepsis, urinary tract infection and acute kidney injury.
A hospital Discharge Documentation form, dated 6/24/24, was provided to the facility from the hospital for her readmission to the facility. The form listed Resident 9's hospital discharge medications, including the following medication order: lisinopril (medication to treat high blood pressure) 20 milligrams, one-half tablet (10 mg) every day. There was another section of the form titled Discharge Plan which stated lisinopril 20 milligrams 40 milligrams equals two tablets daily.
The Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated June 2024, indicated an order for lisinopril 40 milligrams, 2 tablets (80 mg). Lisinopril 80 milligrams was marked as administered to the resident on 6/25/2024 and 6/26/2024. On 6/26/2024, the order was discontinued and a new order for lisinopril 40 milligrams, administer 10 milligrams once a day was written. This dose was given on 6/27/2024.
A Nurse's Note, dated 6/27/2024 at 2:10 P.M., indicated Resident 9 was lethargic, could not keep her eyes open, her blood pressure continued to drop and she had increased shortness of breath. An order was received to send Resident 9 to the emergency room for an evaluation and treatment.
A History and Physical Report from the hospital, dated 6/27/2024, indicated the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) reported Resident 9 had altered mental status, bradycardia (slow heartbeat) and hypotension (low blood pressure). Resident 9 was found with a systolic (top number of a blood pressure reading indicating maximum pressure in the arteries) blood pressure of 60, a heart rate of 30, and the EMS administered atropine 0.5 milligrams resulting in an increase of her blood pressure to 75/36 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) and pulse to 50 bpm (beats per minute). The report indicated the nursing home staff had reported Resident 9's blood pressure had been running low since her readmission to the facility with the systolic blood pressure ranging from 103-121. The staff also reported Resident 9 had blood pressures of 95/61 mmHg and 96/60 mmHg. The staff reported Resident 9's blood pressure had dropped to 98/50 mmHg and her lisinopril medication had been held on 6/25/2024 and 6/26/2024. The report indicated there was significant confusion regarding the Discharge Documentation and the lisinopril dosage.
Resident 9 was readmitted to the hospital on [DATE] with diagnoses including, but not limited to:
- Hypotension secondary to medications with subsequent bradycardia and hypotension with a degree of dehydration.
- Acute kidney injury due to hypoperfusion with bradycardia and hypotension and most likely a degree of dehydration.
A Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 9/24/2024, indicated Resident 9 had moderate cognitive impairment.
During an interview, on 10/11/2024 at 10:54 A.M., Pharmacy Technician 26 indicated on 6/25/2024, the pharmacy dispensed lisinopril 40 milligrams 2 tablets for Resident 9's daily medication packaging.
During an interview, on 10/15/2024 at 9:14 A.M., RN 5 indicated when Resident 9 returned from the hospital on 6/24/2024, there were many discrepancies with her medications. Resident 9 was on lisinopril 10 milligrams prior to her hospitalization and should have been on 10 milligrams when she returned to the facility, but another nursing staff member had erroneously transcribed the order for 80 milligrams from the discharge plan. RN 5 indicated the staff should have used the Discharge Documentation orders, not the Discharge Plan for readmission physician orders. Resident 9 was sent back to the hospital for low blood pressures mixed with her other co-morbidities.
A professional reference from the National Library of Medicine, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482230/, indicated the recommended initial adult dose of lisinopril was 10 mg daily and could be increased to 40 mg daily. Potential side effects included impaired renal (kidney) function and hypotension.
A professional reference at Mayoclinic.org indicated the same adult dosing parameters of 10 - 40 mg per day with the added geriatric warning: . elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving lisinopril.
A policy, titled Guidelines for Medication Orders, was provided by the Director Nursing as current on 10/15/2024 at 1:14 P.M., and was. The policy indicated, .Procedures .2. A current list of orders will be maintained in the electronic clinical record of each resident .4. Medication orders a. When recording medication orders specify: 1. The type, route, dosage, frequency, strength, of the medication and reason
