This failure resulted in Resident 1 not receiving trazadone for three days on 8/23/2025, 8/24/2025 and 8/25/2025.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 1 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including urinary tract infection (UTI- an infection in the bladder/urinary tract), Heart failure (a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling), and major depressive disorder (persistent sadness and a lack of interest or pleasure in previously rewarding or enjoyable activities). The admission record indicated Resident 1's brother was the responsible party (RP-decision maker). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 8/7/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 3 had moderate cognitive (ability to learn, reason, remember, understand, and make decisions) impairment, required setup assistance when eating, required moderate assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for oral hygiene and upper body dressing, and was dependent for toileting hygiene, bathing, and lower body dressing. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/9/2025 at 3:26 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for August 2025 was reviewed. The MDSC stated the MAR indicated Resident 3 had an order for Trazodone Oral Tablet 50 Milligrams (MG- a unit of measurement) to be given at bedtime for depression manifested by inability to sleep started on 1/9/2025. The MDSC stated there was no documentation on 8/23/2025, 8/24/2025, and 8/25/2025 indicating Resident 1 received Trazadone as scheduled. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/9/2025 at 3:43 p.m., with licensed vocational nurse (LVN) 3, Resident 1's MAR was reviewed. LVN 3 stated on 8/23/2025, 8/24/2025, and 8/25/2025 for the evening shift, the documentation was blank. LVN 3 stated if the resident refused or the medication was held, the documentation would have indicated it. LVN 3 stated if a resident missed Trazadone for three days, it would affect a resident's ability to sleep and could result in the resident becoming restless, agitated, or lead to falls or other safety concerns. During an interview on 9/9/2025 at 3:56 p.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 was assigned to Resident 1 on 8/23/2025. 8/24/2025, and 8/25/2025 for the evening shift. During an interview on 9/10/2025 at 11:47 a.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated it is important that the nurse documents medication administration after the medication is given. The ADON stated there is a possibility that a nurse could have dropped the medication. The ADON stated documentation is proof that the medication was administered to the resident, and the resident received it. The ADON stated if you do not document it, it cannot be proved that it happened. The ADON stated not receiving Trazadone for 3 days can make the resident irritated or affect their emotions due to lack of sleep. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/10/2025 at 1:50 p.m. with the ADON, the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), Competency of Nursing Staff, dated March 2025, was reviewed. The ADON stated it is important for a medication competency to be completed upon hire to get a baseline of what a nurse can or cannot do. The ADON stated if a nurse is deficient of a skill, it can be addressed at the time of hire. The ADON stated if a nurse is not competent, the nurse can make mistakes such as not giving medications or not administering medications safely. The P&P indicated competency in skills and techniques necessary to care for residents' needs includes medication management.
