During an interview on 08/18/25 at 10:33 A.M., LPN #400 confirmed she was working with Resident #46
during the day shift on 08/10/25 when the resident was without his narcotic pain medication. She was
informed by the night shift nurse that the facility had run out of Oxycodone and was awaiting delivery of the
medication from the pharmacy. LPN #400 had not contacted the pharmacy to verify the refill request and
had not received a delivery during her shift.
During an interview on 08/21/25 at 11:38 A.M., Medical Director (MD) #900 confirmed an on-call physician
was initially notified on 08/11/25 at approximately 12:00 A.M. via the facility’s non-urgent messaging
system. As a result of the non-urgent alert, a voicemail was left, and the return call was not expected until
the morning from an on-call physician. MD #900 was notified again on 08/11/25 at approximately 12:30
P.M. and was informed that Resident #46 had been without his prescribed pain medication and was
experiencing increased pain. By that time, staff had already begun coordinating with the on-call physician
and pharmacy to obtain a new prescription and arrange for delivery. MD #900 acknowledged that Resident
#46 should not have gone without scheduled pain medication for such an extended period. MD #900
confirmed nursing staff often wait until medications are completely depleted before requesting refills, which
prevents physicians and pharmacies from acting proactively. MD #900 stated that, ideally, refill requests
should be submitted several days in advance to avoid any lapse in medication availability.
Review of the facility policy titled, Pain-Clinical Protocol, dated March 2018 revealed, the physician and staff
will identify individuals who have pain or who are at risk of having pain. The physician will order appropriate
non-pharmacological and medication interventions to address the individual's pain.
This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number 1263770 (OH00165823).

dated 05/16/25 for Lorazepam (also known as Ativan, an antianxiety medication) 0.5 milligram (mg) tablet,
give 0.5 mg by mouth every six hours as needed for anxiety and restlessness. Review of the pharmacy
recommendation dated 05/19/25 revealed the resident was presently prescribed Lorazepam (Ativan) 0.5
mg by mouth every 6 hours as needed for anxiety. The form included a recommendation to please
document duration and rationale for extended therapy of the as-needed order. The recommendation was
noted to be reviewed by the physician on 05/28/25 with the recommendation for this as-needed medication
to have a duration of 14 days. Review of Resident #43's physician orders revealed no evidence of the
as-needed Lorazepam medication was changed to reflect the duration of 14 days after the physician
responded to the recommendation. Continued review revealed the Lorazepam ended up being discontinued

facility received the pharmacy recommendation for Resident #43's Lorazepam order on 05/16/25 and it was
reviewed by the physician on 05/28/25. LPN #215 verified the physician marked this medication for a
duration of 14 days and then it was to be discontinued but it was not. When the pharmacy came back in the
following month for the next review, they noticed the Lorazepam medication was still active with no duration
noted, so that medication was discontinued at that time. Review of the facility policy titled, Consultant
Pharmacist Services, dated 06/21/2017 revealed the consultant pharmacist will conduct a medication
regimen review for facility residents at least monthly or as outlined per the pharmacy services agreement.
The consultant pharmacist or designee will provide written reports to the facility with findings and
recommendations related to the review.
