Staff gave resident another resident's medication Based on documentation reviewed and conversation with the facility representative, on 10/6/23, the facility received a medication delivered for R1 from PharMerica pharmacy. The medication bottle had R1’s name and information. The medication was for an antibiotic and not routine medications for R1. R1 was administered 4 days of the prescribed medications. R1’s responsible party (RP) was at the facility and was told the facility administered the medication to R1. R1’s RP questioned the facility why R1 was being administered an antibiotic because R1 was not prescribed the medication by their physician. Upon further investigation, the facility learned that PharMerica pharmacy labeled the medication incorrectly with R1’s information however the medication was for another individual. Once this was learned, the facility ceased administering the medication to R1 and R1’s physician was notified. R1 did not experience any side effects due to being administered this medication. Although the facility administered a medication that was not prescribed to R1, the medication was incorrectly labeled by the pharmacy therefore the allegation is UNFOUNDED. A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. Exit interview conducted. Report left at facility.
