#4 stated she went back to the hospital in 03/2025 because I had something wrong with my lungs. Resident
#4 could not remember additional details of her hospital admission.
Interview on 05/14/25 at 2:42 P.M. of LPN #328 revealed she remembered looking for Resident #4's
Flecainide Acetate, could not find it in the medication cart and was unable to administer it to her. LPN #328
stated she did not administer the Flecainide Acetate to Resident #4 but could not remember what day(s)
she was unable to administer it. LPN #328 stated she could not remember if she called Resident #4's
cardiology service, but stated she probably called the resident's primary care physician but was not sure.
LPN #328 stated Resident #4's Flecainide Acetate was eventually found in a really inconspicuous place in
the med cart drawer. LPN #328 indicated she did not remember Resident #4 having any issues like chest
pain, irregular heart rate as a result of the missed dose.
Interview on 05/14/25 at 3:29 P.M. with Nurse Practitioner (NP) #400 confirmed Resident #4 had an order
for Flecainide Acetate. The NP revealed it was an important medication and should be taken every 12
hours, two times a day but felt that missing one dose would be OK. If additional doses were missed, it could
possibly cause chest pain and irregular heart rate.
Interview on 05/15/25 at 9:19 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the facility did not need to
follow up with cardiology because the medication was found on 03/12/25.
Interview on 05/15/25 at 10:36 A.M. with the DON and Administrator revealed they counted the doses given
from the card and determined Resident #4 had missed a dose of Flecainide (as noted above on 03/11/25),
they indicated the NP note was incorrect (reflecting two doses were missed). The medication was not
administered as ordered on 03/11/25 on second shift.
