The family and Medical Power of Attorney (MPOA) informed staff they did not want a resident to receive an influenza vaccination. The facility administered the influenza vaccine without having consent to do so. This was evident for one (1) of six (6) residents reviewed for the facility's annual influenza vaccination program. Resident identifier: #29. Facility census: 61. Findings include: a) Resident #29 Review of the medical record revealed that family members did not want Resident #29 to receive an influenza vaccine. On 07/22/13, the resident's Medical Power of Attorney (MPOA) signed an influenza immunization form. By signing, this form, they acknowledged having received educational materials on the risks and benefits that may result from accepting or declining the influenza vaccine. The MPOA did not sign consent giving permission for the resident to receive the vaccine. A nursing progress note, dated 08/16/13, was reviewed. The resident's family/MPOA called and spoke with the nurse. The MPOA requested that the orders for flu vaccine and pneumonia vaccine be discontinued. On 10/23/13 at 2:30 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) produced a copy of the Medications Administration History for October 2013. She verified that a nurse administered the influenza vaccine to the resident's left deltoid muscle on 10/08/13 at 11:00 a.m. A nursing progress note, dated 10/09/13, conveyed that a nurse called the spouse of the MPOA and told her that the resident had received the flu vaccine with no adverse reaction. During an interview with the DON, on 10/23/13 at 2:30 p.m., she acknowledged that the resident was given the flu vaccine without consent of the MPOA. | 2016-10-01 |
