R2 stated the nurse took the medications and told her she couldn't have them now since she didn't take them already. R2 stated she told the nurse she would like to still take her medications, but the nurse would not allow her to and left.

V8 stated she did not want to let R2 take her morning pills at that time due to doubling up on the blood pressure medication. V8 stated R2 had fallen asleep and that was why she didn't take the medications and was mad she wouldn't let R2 take them late. V8 stated she notified the doctor through a message portal about R2's refusal but never heard back from him.

V2, Director of Nursing (DON), stated V8 signed R2's medications off and when she didn't take them, the only way to document they weren't given is to make a progress note. V1 stated the doctor could have been called to see if the medication could be taken late. The facility's Medication Administration Policy dated 10/25/14 documented, When medications are administered by mobile cart taken to the resident's location (room, dining area, etc. (Et cetera)) medications are administered at the time they are prepared. Medications are not pre-poured. The Medication Administration Policy continued to document, The resident is always observed after administration to ensure that the dose was completely ingested. If only a partial dose is ingested, this is noted on the MAR, and action is taken as appropriate. The Medication Administration Policy also documented. The individual who administers the medication dose records the administration on the resident's MAR directly after the medication is given.
