Based on interview and record review the facility failed to follow their practice and ensure to transcribe a
physician order to include the right dose, right diagnosis, and duration for prednisone 60mg (milligram)
tablets, and failed to complete an order for Norco 7.5mg-325mg for 3 days for one of one resident (R1)
reviewed for physician orders.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
R1's face sheet shows R1 has diagnosis of osteoarthritis, aftercare following joint replacement, COPD,
weakness, lack of coordination, low back pain, and hypertension.
On 11/13/24 at 1:46pm V2 (Director of Nursing) said the physician order Prednisone 60 mg by mouth for 5
days for R1 on 6/14/24 was for COPD exacerbation. V2 said the Nurse should have clarified the order with
the physician, and transcribed the order as given. V2 said if the nurse was not sure of the order, she should
have contacted her (V2) or the physician for clarification. V2 said the Nurse needs reeducation on
transcribing verbal orders. V2 said the order for prednisone 1mg (60mg) is not correct as transcribed by the
nurse on the medication administration record and physician order sheet. V2 said the pharmacy sent
prednisone 10 mg and 50 mg for a total dose of 60 mg. V2 said she does not have supporting
documentation denoting that the pharmacy sent 10 mg and 50 mg prednisone, and R1 received 10 mg and
50 mg tablets for a total dose of 60 mg. V2 said when a resident is admitted to the facility with an order for a
narcotic, the facility practice is to notify the physician for orders or recommendations, obtain orders from the
physician, and have the physician send the prescription over to the pharmacy for the narcotic. V2 said the
physician can fax or call in the prescription. V2 said once the pharmacy receives the prescription, they will
fill the order/prescription. V2 said the pharmacy will give the Nurse an authorization number that allows
them to retrieve the medication from the convivence box until the pharmacy delivers the medication.
R1's physician order sheet and medication administration record was reviewed with V2, there is no
documentation denoting that the pharmacy dispensed 10 mg and a 50 mg tablet. The order is transcribed
for 1 mg tablets daily.
R1's medication administration record shows Prednisone oral tablet, give 1 mg by mouth one time a day for
corticosteroids 60 mg, start 6/15/24.
During this survey the facility failed to present the correctly transcribed order for prednisone and failed to
present documentation that R1 received the right dose of prednisone 60 mg.
R1's physician order sheet dated 6/7/24 shows orders for Norco oral tablet 7.5-325 MG
(Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen), give one tablet by mouth every four hours as needed for Pain.
