32 | LPA Martinez interviewed R1, and R1 reported Alprozolam 0.5MG should be administered at 6am, 12pm, 6pm. However, the medication order does not specify the time the medication needs to be administered and does not provide wait periods between doses. In addition, facility PRN documentation indicated when R1 requested Alprozolam 0.5MG, and the documentation reviewed did not indicate that Alprozolam was not administer in a timely manner.
Moreover resident apartment entry doors have locks, and the doors lock from the outside. All residents have a personal key to unlock their apartment entry door. In addition, facility staff are able to unlock a resident's apartment door if a resident forget their key in their bedroom, or if a resident looses their key. Additionally, the facility has an emergency and disaster plan. The plan includes designating an employee to conduct a resident roll call, and this person is responsible for the supervision of residents during an evacuation or relocation. Furthermore, residents will be given wrist bands and staff will have a resident roster list to ensure all residents are accounted for. Staff will also tag each apartment door against the doorframe with bright masking tape, which this indicates there is no resident inside the apartment.
