32 | Staff did not ensure that a resident’s medication was consumed.
During the interview process, the administrator and six staff persons that worked with the resident were interviewed. The resident was not interviewed, as he has moved. Several documents were received and reviewed to include the Physician’s Report, Medication Records, Resident Appraisal, and the Admission Agreement.
Staff persons reported that typically staff persons would watch a resident consume their medication; however, the administrator and none of the staff persons were aware that the resident did not consume his medication when it was passed to him.
It could not be proven that Staff did not ensure that a resident’s medication was consumed. Although the allegation may have happened, or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are Unsubstantiated. No deficiencies cited.
