In regards to the incident that happened on 9/17/2024, the resident care coordinator stated that the shift manager/ Medication Technician (S1) placed R1's medication in R1's food and a caregiver (S2) mistakenly feed another resident's food that also consisted of medication.
According to S2, on the day of the incident, S2 was orienting a new staff who started to feed R1 and when S2 discovered that there was medication in the dessert, S2 instructed the new staff to stop feeding and immediately reported it to S1 which resulted S1 realizing that R1 was given another resident's medication. In addition, S2 stated that they have not observed medication in resident's food in the past, and this incident was the first time that they discovered medication in resident's food.
According to the administrator and resident care coordinator, S1 made a mistake and it was corrected immediately. They also stated that the caregivers were not suppose to administer medication as they were not trained. |
