dated November 8, 2025, that indicated he/she received Spiriva orally instead of via inhalation.Interview on
November 20, 2025, at approximately 10:30 a.m. with the Director of Nursing, Employee E2, revealed
Spiriva 10 mcg is a small pill that gets inserted into the cartridge of the inhaler and inhaled through the
device. Review of facility documentation revealed on November 8, 2025, Resident R1 reported to his/her
nurse that on November 7, 2025, the licensed nurse, identified as Employee E3, gave Resident R1 an
unfamiliar pill during morning medication pass. Review of Resident R1's statement revealed he/she
questioned the medication but was told by licensed nurse, Employee E3, that it was his/her Spiriva and that
it was going to be given in an oral pill form versus through the inhaler. Review of statement by licensed
nurse, Employee E3, confirmed on November 8, 2025, this nurse went to give Resident R1 medications for
the morning medication pass. Licensed nurse, Employee E3, subsequently gave Spiriva medication by
mouth and did not have Resident R1 inhale it.Review of Resident R3's clinical record revealed the resident
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and had a diagnosis of epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve cell
activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures). Continued review of Resident R3's clinical record
revealed physician orders dated November 8, 2025, for Keppra and Lacosamide (anticonvulsant
medications used to treat various types of seizures) to be given two times per day. The start date for both
medications was November 9, 2025. Review of the facility's November 2025 grievance log revealed a
grievance was submitted on November 12, 2025, by the family of Resident R3 related to a medication
issue. The grievance alleged that Resident R3 did not receive his/her seizure medication. Review of facility
documentation revealed an investigation was promptly initiated on November 12, 2025. Upon investigation,
it was determined that when Registered Nurse, Employee E4, input Resident R3's physician orders into the
online electronic medical record, the software defaulted the Keppra and Lacosamide to start on November
9, 2025. As a result, Resident R3 missed doses of Keppra and Lacosamide on November 8, 2025.Interview
on November 20, 2025, at approximately 11:00 a.m. with the Nursing Home Administrator, Employee E1,
confirmed Resident R3 missed one dose of Keppra and one dose of Lacosamide on November 8, 2025. 28
