PARTIES
4. AHCA is the regulatory authority responsible for licensure and
enforcement of all applicable statues and tules governing nursing home facilities pursuant
to Chapter 400, Part II, Florida Statutes, (2005), and Chapter 59A-4, Florida
Administrative Code (2005).
5. Daytona Beach Health and Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit corporation,

6. AHCA te-alleges and incorporates paragraphs (1) through (5) as if fully set
forth herein.
7. On or about July 25, 2005, AHCA conducted a revisit visit at the
Respondent's facility. AHCA cited the Respondent based on the findings below, to wit:
a.) On or about June 23, 2005, Daytona Beach Health and Rehabilitation
Center failed to ensure that the nursing staff followed physician orders for medication
administration and therapeutic diets for 3 of 24 sampled residents (Resident's 5, 13, and
14).
b.) During a revisit survey on or about July,25, 2005, Daytona Beach Health
and Rehabilitation Center failed to ensure that the nursing staff followed physician orders
for medication administration and a consult with a specialist for two (Residents #3 and
#14) of fourteen sampled residents.
The findings are:
1. A review of the medical record for Resident #14 revealed thar the attending physician had written
an order to be notified if the resident's blood glucose level was below 70. A review of the Medication
Administration Record (MAR) revealed that the resident's glucose level was 46 on 1/2/05. No
documentation could be found to indicate thar the physician was notified. The attending physician
also wrote an order for all glucose levels below 80 to be treated with orange juice or Glucagon and
to repeat the glucose test in 30 minutes. A review of the MAR revealed that the resident's glucose
level was 70 on 7/25/05. No documentation could be found that the resident was given juice or
Glucagon or thar the glucose level was repeated in 30 minutes.
2. Resident # 14 is receiving a hypertensive medication. The attending physician included
parameters for the administration of the medication, if the systolic blood pressure is less than 100,
the medication is to be held. A review of the MAR for July revealed thar the medication was
administered everyday. No documentation could be found that the resident's blood pressure was
taken prior to administration to ensure that the systolic reading was greater than 100,
3, During a record review of Resident #3 on 1/15/05, a physician's order dated 7/ 19/05 was noted
for the resident to be seen by the psychiatrist for a reevaluation of the increase in Risperdol as the
resident appeared to have increased sedation. No documented evidence could be found the order
was carried out. An interview with the unit nurse on 7/15/05 at 1:30 p.m. confirmed that although
che psychiatrist was at the facility on 1/22/05, the resident had not been seen.
8. The regulatory provisions of the Fla. Stat. (2005), that are pertinent to this
alleged violation tread as follows:
400.23 Rules; evaluation and deficiencies; licensure status.
(c) A class Ill deficiency is a deficiency thar the agency determines will result in no more than
minimal physical, mental, or psychosocial discomfort to the resident or has the potential to
compromise the resident's ability to maintain or teach his or her highest practical physical, mental,
or psychosocial well-being, as defined by an accurate and comprehensive resident assessment, plan of
care, and provision of services. A class III deficiency is subject to a civil penalty of $1,000 for an
isolated deficiency, $2,000 for a patterned deficiency, and $3,000 for a widespread deficiency. The
fine amount shall be doubled for each deficiency if the facility was previously cited for one or more
class 1 or class Il deficiencies during the last annual inspection or any inspection or complaint
investigation since the last annual inspection. A citation for a class Ill deficiency must specify the
time within which the deficiency is required to be corrected. If a class III deficiency is corrected
within the time specified, no civil penalty shall be imposed.

59A-4.107 Medications Practices. ~
(5) All physician orders shall be followed as prescribed, and if not followed, the reason shall be
recorded on the resident's medical record during that shift,
ee
9. The violation alleged herein constitutes an uncorrected class IIL deficiency,
and warrants a fine of $1,000.
WHEREFORE, AHCA demands the following relief:
L. Enter factual and findings as set forth in the allegations of this
administrative complaint.
2. Impose a fine in the amount of $1,000.
Respectfully submitted this $ an of October 2005.
