Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on interviews, medical record review, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from any significant medication errors, by failing to administer medications within the specified timeframe based on physician's scheduling orders for ten (Residents #1, #3, #4, #5, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, and #14) of fourteen sampled residents, from a total census of 101. Failure to administer medications in a timely manner can result in a resident's inability to maintain the proper level of medication in the bloodstream to be effective; reduced functional ability; lower quality of life; hospitalization, disease progression, and/or death.
