investigation, determine resolution, and follow-up with the resident/responsible party. She stated, once
completed the grievance form is returned to social services. She stated social services then follows-up with
the resident/responsible party to ensure satisfaction of outcome. The SSD stated, We like to get them back
in two or three days. I do have to keep asking for them in the morning meeting, as you can see from the log.
I have difficulty getting them back. We need to develop a system for tracking them. The SSD confirmed the
grievances for Residents #1, #5, and #8 were incomplete and she had not heard any further discussions
regarding them.

Review of the physician orders and Medication Administration Record (MAR) for October 2023 showed the
documentation was not consistent regarding the time she was in the hospital from [DATE] to 11/01/23.
Review of the physician orders and Medication Administration Record (MAR) for November 2023 showed
the documentation was not consistent regarding the time she was in the hospital from [DATE] to 11/16/23.

Review of the facility's Policy titled Medication Administration - General Guidelines, effective 2019, showed
the following:
Policy: Medications are administered as prescribed in accordance with good nursing principles and
practices and only by persons legally authorized to do so.
Procedures:
D. Documentation (including electronic)
1) the individual who administers the medication dose records the administration on the resident's MAR
directly after the medication is given. At the end of each medication pass, the person administering the
medications reviews the MAR to ensure necessary doses were administered and documented. In no case
should the individual who administered the medications report off-duty without first recording the
administration of any medications.
6) if a dose of regularly scheduled medications is withheld, refused, no available, or given at a time other
than the scheduled time, the space provided on the front of the MAR for that dosage administration is
initialed and circled. An explanatory note is entered on the reverse side of the record. If consecutive doses
of a vital medication are withheld, refused, or not available the physician is notified. Nursing documents the
notification and physician response.
7) if an electronic MAR system is used, specific procedures required for resident identification, identifying
medications due at specific times, and documentation of administration, refusal, holding of doses, and
dosing parameters .are described in the system's user manual. These procedures should be followed and
ma differ slightly from the procedures for using paper MARS.

signage outside of Resident #2's room was incorrect and the resident should have had signage indicating
he was on contact isolation and not droplet isolation.
