Residents Affected - Few
1. Resident 1 did not receive her six of her scheduled medications. 2. The physician was not notified when Resident 1 did not receive their scheduled medications. These failures could lead to worsening of condition, hospitalization, seizure (sudden burst of electrical activity in the brain) or even death.
Findings: A review of Resident 1 ' s face sheet (demographics) indicated an admission date of 7/26/24 with a diagnosis of Epilepsy (a brain condition that causes recurring seizures) and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS, a condition that causes a very strong urge to move the legs). A review of Resident 1 ' s electronic medication administration record (EMAR, electronic documentation of medications administered to a resident) with corresponding progress note dated 7/26/24 indicated the following medications where not administered as ordered because it was still awaiting for arrival: Atorvastatin (used to treat high cholesterol) 40 milligram (mg, unit of measure) 1 tablet (tab) by mouth (PO) at bedtime, Latanoprost (used to treat increased eye pressure) eye drops (gtts) to both eyes at bedtime, Dorzolomide (used to treat increased eye pressure) 2 gtts to left eye afternoon dose, Ropinorole (to treat RLS) 1 tab PO at bedtime, Levetiracetam 500 mg ½ tab PO afternoon dose and Lubiprostone 2 capsules by mouth afternoon dose.

During a telephone interview on 1/15/25 at 10:05 a.m., the pharmacist stated missing a dose of Levetiracetam could result to rebound seizure and risk of seizure build up.
