LPN #313 stated she was not sure if she could administer IV medications in a central line. So, she did look it up, thought she could under the supervision of an RN, but no RN was in the building at this time. No other LPN working was IV certified. LPN #334 instructed LPN #313 to go ahead and administer since she was IV certified. LPN #334 informed LPN #313 she had talked to RN #374, who was in charge. The former DON did not directly tell LPN #313 to administer the medications. LPN #313 stated she signed the medication off for the one time she gave it. Interview on 08/28/23 at 4:00 P.M., with LPN #334 stated she was working on 08/12/23, on the day shift. Resident #45 had an IV antibiotic that needed to be hung. There was no RN in the building and LPN #313 was IV certified, so we looked up if she was allowed to hang the IV antibiotic, so she hung the antibiotic and signed it off. LPN #334 stated she called RN #374 to see if she was coming in to give Resident #45's antibiotic, RN #374 stated she was not scheduled and did not know if she was allowed to come in.
