F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm for anxiety or alcohol withdrawal, with additional instructions to hold the medication if Resident #92 was drowsy. Reconciliation of Resident #92's CDAR and MAR for December 2023 revealed the following discrepancies related to lorazepam: Residents Affected - Few • 12/08/23 - one dose signed out on the CDAR, zero doses recorded on the MAR • 12/10/23 - one dose signed out on the CDAR, zero doses recorded on the MAR Interview on 12/11/23 at 11:10 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Regional Director of Clinical Services (RDCS) #300 verified the CDAR and the MAR did not match for Residents #07, #17 and #92. The DON and RDCS #300 verified nurses should document on the paper CDAR and the MAR, as both records should match. Review of the policy titled Medication Administration, undated, revealed the MAR to be the legal documentation for medication administration. The policy identified that medications will be charted when given and narcotics will be signed out when given. Documentation of medications will follow accepted standards of nursing practice. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00148404.
