32 | Allegation: “Facility staff are not assisting with self-administration of medications as prescribed:”
The complaint alleges that the facility staff are not assisting Resident #1 (R1) with their prescribed medications. LPA reviewed medications, Medication Administration Records (MAR), Centrally Stored Medication and Destruction Record (CSMDR), and Controlled Drug Record for R1. Record review revealed that pill #29, 27, 26, and 20 of R1’s Oxycodone-Acetaminophen were not properly documented on the Controlled Drug Record as there is no date and/or time listed that the pills were administered. Additionally, controlled drug record indicates “take 1 tab by mouth every day at 8:30AM, however, on 06/02/2022 the medication was given at 08:30AM, pill #29 was likely also administered on 06/02, however the date, time, and signature are missing. Also on 06/02/2022, staff signed that R1 took pill #28 at 12:30AM, however this could not be possible if pill #30 was administered at 08:30AM as prescribed. Additional entries include times varying from 06:00 (presumably AM), 12:30 (unclear if AM or PM), to 07:00PM. However, this document only indicates it is intended for the 08:30AM medication. Physician’s orders for R1 as well as MAR indicate R1’s Oxycodone-APAP 10/325mg is prescribed “take 1 tablet by mouth every 3 hours as needed for moderate-severe pain.” MAR indicates this medication was administered on the following dates: 2X on 06/01/2022, 3X on 06/02/2022, 06/03/2022, 06/04/2022, 06/05/2022. Then under a separate line with no prescription number marked, the medication was administered on the following dates: 2X on 06/17/2022, 06/19/2022 and 06/21/2022. Under another prescription number and a 3rd line, the medication was administered 2X on 06/20/2022. It is unclear why the medication is documented on multiple line items and the electronic record does not accurately reflect the manually written Controlled Drug Administration Record. Additionally, interviews revealed that on at least one occasion, the medication technician delivered R1’s medications to their room and left the medications in the room for R1’s private caregiver to administer to R1. R1’s private caregiver reported that one time 2 pills of the same medication were brought and left for R1 in the room, when only 1 pill was prescribed at that time. Had R1 self-administered this medication as prepared by the medication technician, R1 would have been administered twice the prescribed dose. Based on interview and record review, the allegation “facility staff are not assisting with self-administration of medications as prescribed” is deemed SUBSTANTIATED at this time. As R1 was also listed in Complaint Control # 29-AS-20220422121330, this allegation was addressed, and citation was issued under this referenced complaint, no citation will be issued during today’s visit.
Allegation: “Medications are not being refilled timely:”
The complaint alleges that medications for R1 were not refilled timely, resulting in R1’s furosemide 20mg
