**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to administer right dosage of a prescribed
medication as per physician order for one resident (R3,) out of three residents reviewed. This failure
affected R3 who has a physician order to receive Ibuprofen oral tablet 800mg (milligrams) as needed every
eight (8) hours for pain but was administered 600 mg instead with potential that R3's pain may not be
controlled.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
R3's medical record admission Record showed that R3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Listed
diagnosis includes but not limited to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bipolar disorder, Anemia,
progressive vascular leukoencephalopathy and anogenital herpes viral infection.
On 12/16/24 at 1:05pm, R3 was observed on the 4th floor at the nurse's station requesting for pain
medication Ibuprofen from V13 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse). V13 checked the order and proceeded to
prepare the medication. V13 looked for the medicine it was unavailable. V13 found ibuprofen 200mg/tablet
bottle from the facility house stock. V3 prepared three tablets and administered it to R3 when the surveyor
brought this to V13, asking V13 to clarify the order with surveyor watching the R2's electronic medication
order. V13 confirmed that that R3 is supposed to get 800 mg. V13 stated I don't know whether to give R3 all
the 800 mg because it usually comes as one tablet and giving (R3) equivalent of 800 mg will be four tablets
that is why I gave three tablets (600mg).
On 12/16/24 at 1:08pm, The surveyor asked what the facility policy/protocol of medication administration is.
V13 stated that the medication should be given to resident as ordered in ordered dose. V13 stated that the
800 mg has not been refilled since November 30th by the pharmacy. V13 stated we have been given R3
acetaminophen because R3 has orders for it too. The surveyor asked what the facility policy/protocol of
medication administration is. V13 stated that the medication should be given to resident as ordered in
ordered dose. V13 stated, that the 800 mg has not been refilled since November 30th, 2024, by the
pharmacy.
On 12/16/24 at 1:15 pm, V13 signed out R3's medication has been given 800 mg.
R3 medical record Order Summary Report showed that R3 has order for Ibuprofen oral tablet 800mg give
one tablet by mouth every 8 hours as needed (PRN) for pain with ordered date 11/30/23 and no end date.
On 12/16/24 at 1:30pm, when this was brought to V2 DON (Director of Nurse's) attention and was asked
about facility policy /protocol on medication administration. V2 stated in part the medications are to be
administered according to physician order and the right dose should be administered. V2 stated that it is not
acceptable for any nurse to take upon themselves to change the medication dosage without physician
order. V1 (administrator) who was present at the time of interview and V2 then stated that V13 will be asked
to add the remaining 200 mg to make 800 mg to control R3's pain. V2 stated that the pharmacy will also be
notified to refill for 800 mg because it comes in one big pill because of the strength.
On 12/18/24 at 12:00 pm, the surveyor asked V3 NP (Nurse Practitioner) if in her own professional opinion
is it appropriate for a nurse to change medication dosage for the resident. V3 stated Not
