Findings Include: R1 is a [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis, herpes vesicular dermatitis, and chronic ulcer of skin. On 2/26/25 at 11:30AM, R1 was only available by phone for interview due to being hospitalized at the time of the investigation. R1 stated R1 does not the get medication for R1's autoimmune disease. R1 was unable to remember the name of the medication but knew it started with an M. R1 reported the medication is supposed to be taken twice a day (once in the morning and once around dinner time) but it is only given usually once a day or not at all. R1 was unable to report the number of doses that were missed but R1 stated it was more than ten a month. R1 was unaware why the medication was not being given as scheduled. R1 stated the medication is used for healing the lesions on R1's hands from the autoimmune disease. R1 stated the lesions are painful but have not gotten any worse from not taking the medication as scheduled. On 2/26/25 at 12:30PM, V1 (Nurse) stated R1 takes a medication for an autoimmune disease because R1's fingers swell. V1 could not remember the names of the medications, but reported R1 also uses topical creams. V1 denied R1 refusing any medication. V1 reported R1 has a condition that causes swelling and lesions to the hands and fingers. V1 stated medications need to be administered as they are ordered. V1 denied being aware of R1 having multiple missed doses of the topical steroid cream and the immunosupressive medication. V1 reported that if a medication is not signed out on the MAR, then it is considered not to have been given. V1 stated if a resident misses a dose of a medication the physician or the director of nursing are notified, and the nurse follows up with any further orders. On 2/26/25 at 1:23PM, V2 (DON) stated R1 admitted to the facility with lesions to the hands and arms. V2 could not state what medications R1 was taking for the autoimmune disease. V2 reported all medication should be administered as ordered. V2 stated the nurse should document the medication when it is administered in the MAR. V2 denied R1 making any reports that R1 was not getting the topical steroid cream or the immunosupressive medication. V2 reported a physician needs to be notified when a resident is missing an ordered medication because the physician needs to be aware of what is going on with the resident.
