V2 stated V2 will have to see if the system can be changed to alert on day two. V2 stated V2 would expect Milk of Magnesia to be given on day four of no BM. V2 stated V2 might look into getting R3 something scheduled routinely for R3's bowels. V2 confirmed risk of constipation with opioid use. At 2:45 PM V2 stated V2 followed up with corporate staff, and the facility does not have a bowel protocol; it is individually based on each resident's needs and bowel patterns.
