25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Crystal Colvin arrived at the facility in investigate allegations related to a complaint (#18-AS-20210505121329), during which LPA Colvin observed the following deficiencies regarding medication:
During LPA Colvin's review of the facility's records for past resident (R1), LPA Colvin observed that R1 was being administered over the counter (OTC) medications (such as Vitamin D, Acetaminophen, and CranRich) daily, without a medication order from a physician. It is important to have a medication order from a physician for any OTC medications, as is required by Title 22 Regulations, as certain OTC medications may interfere with prescribed medications, or be dangerous to a resident based on their medical conditions. LPA Colvin did not observe anywhere in the medical paperwork for R1 that R1's doctors were aware of R1 taking this medication daily. Deficiency cited.
Lastly, during LPA Colvin's reconciliation of the medications prescribed and the medications administered for R1, LPA Colvin failed to observe a Centrally Stored Medication Log for any month that R1 was residing at the facility. While the Medication Administration Record (MARs) did have some of the information for most of R1's medications, the information was insufficient for what is required by Title 22 Regulations in order to ensure a complete and accurate record of all medications prescribed to and administered to each resident. Deficiency cited.
Due to LPA Colvin's observations, deficiencies were cited. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to Administrator Channe Carlos. |
