or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
resident interview, medical record review, observation and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure
hospital discharge medications were followed and medications provided as ordered. This affected one
resident (#37) of three residents reviewed for medications upon discharge from the hospital. The facility
census was 74.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Interview with Resident #37 on 09/26/23 at 9:20 A.M. revealed she had recently returned to the facility after
admission to the hospital. She indicated she was prescribed Norco (opioid pain medication) and had an
order upon discharge from the hospital that should have been provided upon admission to the facility.
Resident #37 indicated she had not received the Norco when requested and staff alerted her she did not
have any to administer. Resident #37 stated she was provided other pain relief medications, but the Norco
would work better.
Review of Resident #37's medical record revealed an admission date of 06/06/23 with admission diagnoses
that included diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, bipolar disorder and cerebrovascular accident.
Review of Resident #37's Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 quarterly assessment with a reference date of
09/18/23 indicated Resident #37 had an intact cognition.
Further review of the medical record revealed on 09/06/23 Resident #37 was transferred and directly
admitted to the hospital due to increasing behaviors. On 09/11/23 Resident #37 was discharged from the
hospital back to the facility. Review of the discharge summary and medication list revealed Resident #37
was ordered Norco 5/325 milligrams (mg) one every 12 hours as needed for pain.
Review of Resident #37's physician's orders revealed upon readmission on [DATE] an order for Norco
5/325 one every 12 hours as needed for pain. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR)
revealed Norco orders in place as ordered by the physician. The MAR showed no evidence of any Norco
administration for Resident #37 after readmission to the facility.
Observation and interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #85 on 09/26/23 at 12:10 P.M. revealed
Resident #37 does not have any Norco available as nursing staff felt the resident did not need the
medication because her pain was adequately controlled with other pain relief medication prior to her
hospital admission and readmission to the facility. LPN #85 stated Resident #37 has requested the Norco,
but staff advised the resident it is not available. LPN #85 verified staff did not contact physician to clarify the
need for Norco upon readmission to the facility.
