HCL, one five milligram (mg) tablet by mouth four times per day for major depressive disorder.
Review of a nurse progress note, authored by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #21, dated 07/22/23 at 2:44
A.M., revealed the resident was made aware several times at 8:00 P.M. that her medications would be
delivered sometime tonight. Medications that were available to be pulled from the Emergency Kit were
administered to the resident. At 12:30 A.M. the resident stated, I feel like I'm not breathing right. The
resident's pulse oximetry was 96% and she received oxygen at three liters. Her lungs were clear but
diminished. The resident was asked if she was feeling anxious due to this being her first night, and informed
that her vital signs were within normal limits. The resident stated she wanted to go home and was going to
call her husband. This nurse educated her on the need to stay and the resident agreed at that time. At 1:45
A.M. the resident asked if her medications had been delivered and the nurse informed her that they had
arrived, but she had received medications from the emergency kit and the time frame for the rest had
closed and she would have to wait until the morning to receive the other medication doses. The resident
stated, I can't take this anymore, I'm calling my husband to come get me. The resident was unable to be
educated on staying and stated, she does not want to be here and has medications at home. The resident
signed the AMA form, her husband came in at 2:20 A.M. with a bag of medications and pushed the resident
to the car via wheelchair. The resident stated before leaving, you know I have had a heart attack before.
The nurse stated that her vital signs were within normal limits and the resident had not complained of chest
pain or shortness of breath. The resident stated, yeah, I now, I was just letting you know it happened so fast
the last time. The nurse asked the resident to consider staying if she had worries, but the resident refused
and stated I thought I could make this work, but I just can't. The resident was given a copy of her AMA form.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated July 2023, revealed the resident did not
receive her scheduled dose of Buspirone HCL five milligram (mg), one tablet, at 5:00 P.M. or at 9:00 P.M. on
07/22/23.
Interview on 06/11/24 at 1:00 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #7 did not receive
buspirone HCL five milligram (mg), one tablet, as ordered by the physician even after it was received from
the pharmacy. The DON further confirmed LPN #21 should have notified the physician of the second
missed dose of the medication per facility policy.
Interview on 06/11/24 at 1:05 P.M. with the Administrator revealed LPN #21 was an agency nurse and her
(the Administrator) expectation would have been for the physician to have been notified of Resident #7's
symptoms. The Administrator further stated LPN #21 should have notified herself or another manager when
Resident #7 asked to leave AMA as is the facility's policy.
Review of a policy titled, Medication Administration, dated December 2012, revealed medications are
administered in accordance with written orders of the prescriber. If two consecutive medications doses of a
vital medication is withheld or refused, the physician is notified.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00153954.
