The resident had four separate orders for the medication Vancomycin HCI Oral Capsule 125MG. One order was for 10 days with a start date of 10/08/2024.

One with a start date of 10/25/2024 and the other with a start date of 10/18/2024. The department cannot prove or disprove if the medications were started on those set dates and/or if the facility received those medications. Therefore, the allegation facility did not inform the representative of the missing medication is unsubstantiated.
