**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure one resident (Resident #322) received scheduled
doses of anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication due to unavailability of the medication. This affected one
(Resident #322) out of five (Resident #11, #12, #63, #69 #322) residents reviewed for unnecessary meds.
The census was 79.
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #322 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that
included cerebral infarction, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type II diabetes, acute kidney failure,
protein-calorie malnutrition and depression.
Review of physician's admission orders dated 04/07/22 indicated Resident #322 was prescribed the
anticoagulant Heparin Sodium Solution 5,000 unit/ per milliliter (ml), inject one ml (5,000 units)
subcutaneously two times a day for anticoagulation therapy.
Review of the Medication Administration Record for April 2022 indicated two doses of Heparin 5,000 units
was not given as scheduled on 04/15/22 at 8:00 A.M. and on 04/15/22 at 8:00 P.M.
Review of nurse progress note dated 04/15/22 at 10:45 P.M. indicated medication was on its way from

indicated if a medication with a current, active order could not be located in the medication cart/drawer,
other areas of the medication cart, medication room, and facility (i.e. other units) were to be searched, if

withheld, refused, not available, or given at a time other than the scheduled time, that dosage
