During a telephone interview conducted on 05/07/24 at 8:43 AM with the daughter of Resident #71, the daughter said she thinks the Parkinson's medication is supposed to be given 1 hour before meals, but they are usually about 1 hour late giving the Parkinson's medication. The daughter said the medications makes it so her mother can feed herself. An interview was conducted on 05/08/24 at 10:15 AM with the Consultant Pharmacist (CP) who has been working with this facility since 2011, and on and continuous since 2018. The CP stated that in this facility, a medication ordered for three times a day has a default to be given at 9:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 5:00 PM. Additionally she said the nurse has an hour before and an hour after the scheduled time to administer the medication. The CP stated the Carbidopa-Levodopa does not need to be every so many hours, as this may be what the resident is used to in the community and if the resident is stable, it would not be an issue. When asked about Resident #71 specifically about the medication Carbidopa-Levodopa 25-100 mg ordered three times a day to be given at 9:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 5:00 PM, the CP stated when she looked at the Medication Administration in May for this medication for Resident #71, she verified it was given as ordered. When the CP was shown the report for the Carbidopa-Levodopa 25-100 mg for Resident #71 with the actual time documented given in the month of May 2024, the CP said she was unaware of this report and acknowledged the medication was given too close at times. The CP said it should have at least 3 to 4 hours between administration times. If it is given to close, it may cause agitation. When asked if the medication could be given 1 hour before meals per a family/resident request, the CP said it most likely would not make a difference in the resident's movement but may decrease the appetite, she also added the medication can be taken with or without food. The CP stated if the family wanted to have the medications scheduled to be given an hour before meals, they would work with the family. When asked about Resident #71 specifically about the medication Droxidopa 200 mg ordered three times a day to be given at 9:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 5:00 PM, the CP said if the medication is generally given closer at times during the day but not close to bedtime, because if given too close to the bedtime, it may cause orthostatic hypotension. The CP said ideally, the Droxidopa should be given 3 hour before bedtime and not like to see given past 6:00 PM or 7:00 PM. When shown the report for the Droxidopa 200 mg for Resident #71 with the actual time documented given in the month of May 2024, the CP acknowledged the Droxidopa was given too close to bedtime on some days. The CP stated it may be better if the facility staff signing off on the medication would put in a code indicating to see a nurses note and describe in the note why the medication was not given within the 1 hour before or 1 hour after the medication scheduled time. During an interview conducted on 05/08/24 at 11:30 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), who was asked about Resident #71 and the actual medication administration times for the medications Carbidopa-Levodopa and Droxidopa, she acknowledged she just became aware of the medications not being administered as ordered and will start educating staff.
