8257 SAINT MATTHEWS HEALTH CARE, LLC 425170 601 DANTZLER STREET SAINT MATTHEWS SC 29135 2012-04-11 281 E 0 1 EZCC11 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** On the days of the survey based on record review and interview the facility failed to meet professional standards of quality related to repeatedly administering a medication that was documented on the resident 's list of allergies [REDACTED]. (One of 16 sampled resident's reviewed for professional standards.) The findings included: The facility readmitted Resident #4 on 10/11/11 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Record review on 4/9/12 revealed a allergy to [MEDICATION NAME] listed on the Medication Administration Record [REDACTED]. The hand written admission orders [REDACTED]. The Pharmacy Pre-Printed orders for November, December of 2011 and January, February, March and April 2012 had the allergies [REDACTED]. Registered Nurse #1 (RN) stated during an interview on 4/9/12 at 5:20 PM I am the one that does them and I just overlooked it. She also stated the Pharmacy put a semi colon behind the Tylenol so it looks like a separate allergy, but she is not allergic to Tylenol. The resident has a order dated 10/11/11 for Tylenol Extra Strength 500 mg (milligrams) two caplets by mouth twice a day. The MAR indicated [REDACTED]. The RN stated I crossed it (the [MEDICATION NAME]) off on the November, December and January orders but I didn't do it for February, March and April. I just dropped the ball, I guess. When ask if the other nurses signing the MAR brought it to her attention she stated no. The RN then stated: The nurses know this is not a true allergy. When ask what would happen if a new nurse was passing medication that was not familiar with this resident , she stated that could be a problem. The MAR's for February, March and April did not have [MEDICATION NAME] crossed out and the medication was signed as administered twice a day, every day. The January physician's orders [REDACTED]. 2016-06-01
