F 0760 and guardian made aware, and resident would be monitored for changes. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Observation of a medication administration on 08/09/23 from 8:02 A.M. to 9:03 A.M. with LPN #79, revealed medications were administered with no errors; however, during the observation LPN #79 failed to sign off on the MARs for Resident's #16, #35, #12, #20, #42, and #15. Residents Affected - Few Attempted to interview LPN's (#58 and #117) on 08/09/23 from 10:59 A.M. to 1:26 P.M., and no contact was made. Voice mail messages were left, and the surveyor did not receive a return call. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 08/09/23 at 11:00 A.M., verified two LPNs (#58 and #117) was working on 07/13/23 from 7:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. (07/14/23) and shared the responsibilities of medication administration on the second floor. The DON verified both LPNs administered the 6:00 A.M. medications to Resident #12 on the morning of 07/14/23. The DON stated LPN #58 administered all the medications on second floor; however, did not sign the MARs and did not communicate this to LPN #117. LPN #117 also administered the 6:00 A.M. medications to Resident #12 and when she was signing off on the medications, she noticed LPN #58 had signed the narcotic sheets and discovered Resident #12 had already received her 6:00 A.M. morning medications by LPN #58. The DON indicated the physician was called and ordered for Resident #12 to be monitored and have laboratory work completed. The DON noted the resident's guardian was called and he wanted the resident sent to the hospital, but the resident refused and said she felt fine. Interview with Resident #12 on 08/09/23 at 11:38 A.M., revealed she received two doses of her morning medications in July 2023. Resident #12 stated she felt dopey all day but refused to go to the hospital despite her guardian wanting her to go. Interview with the LPN #79 on 08/09/23 at 11:47 A.M. verified she did not sign off on the MARs as she administered medications. LPN #79 confirmed she had been educated on signing off on the MAR after giving the residents their medications. She stated it was hard to keep up with the charting because she gets behind by taking care of the residents and then the surveyor was observing her too. Review of policy entitled Administering Medications dated 12/01/12 revealed medications shall be administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. The individual administering the medication must initial the resident's MAR on the appropriate line after giving each medication and before administering the next ones. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00144901.
