Findings included:
A facility policy titled, Medication Administration General Guidelines, dated 01/2021, revealed the section
titled Medication Preparation: included 3. Prior to administration, review and confirm medication orders for
each individual resident on the Medication Administration Record [MAR]. Compare the medication and
dosage schedule on the resident's MAR with the medication label. If the label and MAR are different, and
the container is not flagged indicating a change in directions, or if there is any other reason to question the
dosage or directions, the prescriber's orders are checked for the correct dosage schedule. Apply a 'direction
change' sticker to label if directions have changed from the current label. The policy further specified,
Medication Administration: 1. Medications are administered in accordance with written orders of the
prescriber. If a dose seems excessive considering the resident's age and condition, or a medication order
seems to be unrelated to the resident's current diagnosis or condition, the nurse calls the provider
pharmacy for clarification prior to the administration of the medication. If necessary, the nurse contacts the
prescriber for clarification. This interaction with the pharmacy and the resulting order clarification are
documented in the nursing notes and elsewhere in the medical record as appropriate.
1. An admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident #78 on 06/26/2024. According to the
admission Record, the resident had a medical history that included a diagnosis of generalized muscle

administered one multivitamin with minerals tablet to Resident #78.
During an interview on 08/06/2024 at 12:38 PM, LVN #1 stated Resident #78's order did not say the
multivitamin tablet should contain minerals. She stated the order was for a multivitamin tablet without
minerals. LVN #1 stated that before she gave the tablet, she should have called the doctor to verify that she
could give the multivitamin with minerals. LVN #1 stated she should have triple checked that it was the
correct medication to give by reading the label again before she gave it. She stated she gave the wrong
medication.
2. An admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident #43 on 10/25/2017. According to the

During an observation of medication pass on 08/06/2024 at 8:43 AM, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) #2
administered one multivitamin with minerals tablet to Resident #43.
During an interview on 08/06/2024 at 12:42 PM, LVN #2 stated the bottle in the cart of multivitamins with
minerals was not the same medication as the order for multivitamins. She stated she should not have given
Resident #43 the multivitamins with minerals, because it was not ordered, and she should have checked for
a bottle of multivitamins without minerals or clarified the order before giving it.
During an interview on 08/07/2024 at 10:24 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that during
medication administration, she expected the nurses to match the physician's order with the label on the
medication bottle to avoid errors. She stated the nurses should not have given the multivitamins with
minerals until they clarified the order.
During an interview on 08/07/2024 at 10:26 AM, the Administrator stated he expected the nurses to double
check the medication label before giving a medication, and then give the medication according to the order.
