V5 said that resident's blood pressure and temperature came down a little after the medication, but the respiration remains shallow, and resident was unresponsive. V5 said that the physician did not call back until early morning and she informed him that resident was sent to the hospital. V5 added that resident is usually responsive but not that night. Medication administration record for the month of March 2025 showed that R2 received only one dose of the ordered PRN hydralazine on 3/6/2025 at 0100.
