LPA conducted interviews with 5 out of 10 staff (S1, S3, S4, S5 and S6) who assist in the administration of medications and it was learned that R1 was all over the place, very anxious which was addressed on their plan of care, R1 started to slow down after doctor changed their medication due to change of condition. Regarding R2, LPA reviewed records and learned that R2 moved into the facility on 6/19/20 at 12:30pm and passed away the same day 6/19/20 at 11:03pm. Administrator informed LPA about a discussion with responsible party to have R2 initiate hospice which was confirmed with interviews conducted with S5 who revealed that R2 was observed upon admission very sleepy and notified Administrator and responsible party. S5 started the process of coordinating the transfer of medication orders to their pharmacy when R2 passed away the same day of their admission.
LPA conducted interviews with 5 out of 10 staff (S1, S3, S4, S5 and S6) who assist in the administration of medications and learned that the protocol is that administrator or shift leaders will pre-pour within 24 hours medications for am and pm, they will put it on trays that are kept locked in the office with resident’s names on it which staff will take and provide medication to resident one by one, they wait to make sure resident takes their medication as prescribed and they will documented into the MARS. LPA obtained death certificate of R1 and R2 for review which indicates cause of death not related to allegation.
A finding that the complaint allegations that staff did not give medication as prescribed by physician is unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegations occurred. |
