Allegation : Staff did not administer resident’s medications as prescribed- It is alleged that night staff-Med Tech (S2) did not distribute Resident#1 (R1's) medications, as prescribed. LPA interviews with staff revealed the following: Both the Administrator, Staff#1 (S1) and (S2) refute the allegation, stating that R1's medications are consistently administered, as prescribed. Staff state that R1 frequently requests "as needed" PRN pain medications, such as OXYCODONE, or TRAMADOL. However, R1 does not wait for the prescribed "once every four hours" or "once every twelve hours" time window before requesting staff to provide her the aforementioned medications. Staff state they must temporarily withhold administration of these pain medications to R1 when she requests taking said medications outside the prescribed time frames. LPA review of R1's Medication Administration Records (MAR) lists all medications; staff notations are consistent and in good order. LPA Interviews with ten (10) residents revealed the following: Nine (9) out of ten (10) residents state having no issues with medication assistance, stating that med staff administer medications on a consistent basis, as prescribed. Based records review, and interviews with residents and staff, the facility assisted R1 with the proper administration of their medications, as prescribed.
