Baclofen 5mg bingo card has a residents' name torn off the label and R1's' name handwritten on it. V2
stated this is not a professional standard of practice, and nurses are not supposed to borrow medications
from one resident and administer it to another resident. V2 stated this should never happen because
residents could potentially be given the wrong medication or given expired medication. V2 stated she never
supplied the nurses with the Baclofen 5mg medication bingo card to administer to R1. V2 stated she
collects a lot of discontinued medication bingo cards and keeps them in her office until the pharmacy
arrives to pick them up.
