On 11/17/2025 at 12:32 PM, V19 (Medical Doctor) stated (R6) has had the seizure/epilepsy diagnosis for years. It is important that his orders are being followed, and if (R6) did not receive his medication on time or as ordered it could cause (R6) to have seizures/harm and would not be good to miss or have delayed medications. On 11/18/2025 at 9:57 AM, V22 (Pharmacist) stated normally as long as they have a prescription for the medicine and for (R6) convulsion would fit the bill for a diagnosis for those medications. They do not have a diagnosis for seizures and or epilepsy for (R6). Taking medications late for seizures may or could contribute to a seizure. It would depend on if a seizure occurred as to whether it would be a significant medication error. If a seizure occurred, then yes.

A lot of the medications were late being passed out that day I did the best I could do under the circumstances. On 11/18/2025 at 12:45 PM, V9 (LPN) stated I know (R6's) wife told me that he had been having some seizure activities and the day before he had gotten his seizure medication late. They are very particular about his seizure medication. When I saw (R6) he was experiencing small twitches movements, so I sent him out.
