**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that physician's
orders were implemented for two of 25 sampled residents. (Residents 23, 111)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 23 had diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood
pressure). A physician's order dated December 25, 2023, directed staff to administer a medication
(carvedilol) two times a day for hypertension. Staff were not to administer the medication if the resident's
systolic blood pressure (SBP, the first measurement of blood pressure when the heart beats and the
pressure is at its highest) was less than 110 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Review of Resident 23's
medication administration records revealed that staff administered the medication four times in July 2024
and three times in August 2024 outside of the ordered parameters.
In an interview on August 16, 2024, at 10:30 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed the medication should
not have been administered when the SBP was less than 110 mmHg per physician's order.
Clinical record review revealed Resident 111 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included epilepsy. On July 24, 2024, the physician ordered for the resident to receive phenobarbital (an
anticonvulsant medication) 64.8 milligrams at bedtime. There was no documented evidence that Resident
111 received the phenobarbital on July 25, 2024.
In an interview on August 16, 2024, at 10:40 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that Resident 111 did
not receive the medication on July 25, 2024.
