Staff 1 was interviewed and S1 provided a list of prescribed medication with individual packets with the thicken agent that was marked with the type of thicken agent and how the agent to be used which has the the physician's order. S1 stated they do not given any medications or thickening agents without an order. Staff 2 was interviewed and S2 stated that they provided the day program with the label from the container that had the directions on how to mix the thicken agent to liquids as need for R1. Outside Source 1 (OS1), stated to the facility staff they needed an order to give the thicken agent to R1. S1 and S2 verified with OS1 that there was a physician's order. S1 and S2 stated that the facility would not provide medication or a thickening agent without an order.
Interview with Outside Source 2 (OS2) verified that the facility provides physician's orders for any medications that need to be given during the day program. OS2 stated that there has not been any issues with providing a physician's order.
Records reviewed revealed a valid order for R1 to have a thicken agent as needed for liquids. R1 is currently not participating in the day program. S1 and S2 stated they have been providing the physician's order for all medications and thickening agent to the day program.
Based on LPA's interviews, observations and record reviews there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove alleged violation occurred, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Cynthia Vasquez and Ericka Jimenez, Administrators, to whom a copy of this report, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided.
