13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rosaura Valenzuela conducted a complaint investigation for the above noted allegation. LPA met with Michael Fountain, Operations Specialist. The purpose of the visit was discussed.
It was reported that facility staff over-medicated Resident 1 (R1) . To investigate the allegation on 6/30/21, LPA conducted staff interviews between 11:00am and 1:00pm. During the course of the investigation, interviews revealed that different nursing agencies are being used to dispense medication to residents and that all medication that is given to residents is documented electronically. Between 1:00pm and 2:00pm, a record review was conducted. LPA reviewed Medication Administration Record (MAR) and R1's physician report. The MAR revealed that R1 was given seizure medication at 8pm on 6/20/21 and Tylenol with codeine was given that same day at 2:15am and at 8:41pm. LPA had the nurse bring out the bubble pack and count the number of pills. The pills dispensed matched with what was documented on the MAR. R1 was taking both medications for twenty days and had no adverse reactions. Based on interviews, record review, and observation, this allegation UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was issued. |
