The MDS Coordinator 1 acknowledged that the Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed Keppra was not given on May 2, 2024, at 9:00 AM. MDS Coordinator 1 stated on May 2, 2024, Keppra was not given and the nurse cited number 10, which stands for Other, as the reason for not administering it, but she was unable to locate the explanation of Other on the record. She stated that when a nurse uses 10 (other) as an excuse for not administering medicine, the nurse should explain what other implies in the chart. During telephone interview on November 15, 2024, at 11:04 AM, with License Vocational Nurse (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated she was Resident 1 medication nurse on May 2, 2024. She further explains that Keppra was not giving in the morning because the medication was not available pending shipment. LVN 1 Acknowledged that medication should be ordered before it ran out.
