NHA revealed the vendor fitted Resident 145 on October 28, 2025, and they are waiting for them to provide any order.

She also indicated that they had not considered utilizing only one enabler on the right side of the bed to limit use of the left arm.

Review of Resident 8's clinical record revealed that the facility consultant pharmacist reviewed his medication regimen on July 3, 2025, and made recommendations. Review of facility provided Drug Regimen Review Documentation note for Resident 8's July 3, 2025, medication regimen review revealed that the pharmacist had identified the following concerns: Resident has two active orders for Tylenol PRN [as needed] for pain-650 milligrams every six hours as needed, and 1000 milligrams every eight hours as needed. Please verify which is correct and discontinue the other to avoid possible duplication of therapy. 2. There are active orders for Imodium 2 milligrams TID [three times a day] for diarrhea and Senna 8.6 milligrams daily for constipation. These are conflicting diagnoses. Please evaluate. The note was initialed by Resident 8's Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP) on July 7, 2025, with no documentation or orders provided. In addition, the note was initialed by a staff nurse also dated July 7, 2025. Review of Resident 8's physician order history revealed that the Tylenol orders were clarified on July 17, 2025, and that the Imodium and Senna conflicting orders were clarified on August 6, 2025. Further review of Resident 8's clinical record revealed that the facility consultant pharmacist reviewed his medication regimen on July 31, 2025, and noted no irregularities, even though Resident 8 was continuing to receive both the Imodium and Senna daily for the previously identified conflicting diagnoses. During a staff interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and DON on November 21, 2025, at 11:00 AM, the DON confirmed that no clear order was given by the CRNP even though he had initialed the document and, therefore, the Imodium and Senna continued. She further indicated that nursing staff should have followed up with the CRNP when no documentation or order was provided about the Imodium and Senna. She indicated that the pharmacist should have utilized the correct form when making recommendations on July 3, 2025, and confirmed that the pharmacist should have identified on Resident 8's medication regimen review on July 31, 2025, that the diagnoses conflict had not been addressed and should have reissued a report of the irregularity. 28 Pa.
