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.

If the medication could not be located after further investigation, the pharmacy was to be contacted, or medication removed from the starter box.
