There were 2 errors out of 32 opportunities for error, resulting in a medication error rate of 6.25%. The findings included: ERROR #1-2: Observation of Licensed Practical Nurse(LPN) #1 on 1/28/20 at 12:10 PM revealed s/he crushed [MEDICATION NAME]/[MEDICATION NAME] 25/100 milligrams(mgs) and [MEDICATION NAME] [AGE] mg and placed each in the same cup. After entering Resident #118B's room, LPN #1 placed 30 cubic centimeters(cc) of water into each of two 30cc medication cups. LPN #1 placed approximately 10 cc of water from one of the medication cups containing water into the medicine cup containing the crushed medications. After checking and confirming placement of the [MEDEQUIP] tube([DEVICE]), LPN #1 placed approximately 20 cc of water into the [DEVICE]. Medications were placed in the [DEVICE], residual medication was observed and LPN #1 placed water from the second medication cup twice trying to administer all of the medication. During this time, a small amount of spillage was noted dripping off of LPN #1's glove. S/he placed the remaining water into the tube. Observation of the medication cup which contained the medications revealed medication was still in the bottom of the cup. LPN #1 confirmed the medication in the cup. LPN #1 stated s/he should have probably let the medicine sit a little longer to help the medications dissolve. Review of the facility policy titled Enteral Tube Medication Administration revealed the policy did not address residual medication. 2020-09-01
