observation, interviews and record review, the facility failed to maintain medical records in accordance with
accepted professional standards and practices that were complete and accurately documented for 1

administration of clonazepam and insulin on 10/11/25 and 10/17/25.LVN B failed to document the
administration of clonazepam and insulin on 10/27/25 and 10/28/25. This failure could affect residents
whose records are maintained by the facility and could place them at risk for errors in care.The findings

behaviors. LVN A said she administered all medications as ordered, just did not document or check off the
medications on the MAR. LVN A said she did not know why, maybe she forgot to check off the MAR. LVN A
said the facility instructed them in the past that it was her responsibility to ensure all the documentation was
done. LVN A said it was important for documentation to be accurate to show if the resident was compliant
with medications and to show the staff followed the orders. On 11/21/25 at 12:30 PM, in an interview with
LVN B, she said she worked on 10/27/25 and 10/28/25 with Resident #1. LVN B said Resident #1 did not
refuse his medications when she worked with him and he allowed her to do the blood sugar checks. LVN B
said she did not have to notify the doctor of any abnormal findings and there were no other indications that
Resident #1 had not been administered his medications as ordered. LVN B said she administered Resident
#1's medications on 10/27/25 and 10/28/25, including the antianxiety medication and insulin, but possibly
forgot to check off the MAR. LVN B said she was in-serviced on medication administration and
documentation a few weeks ago. LVN B said she was told it was her responsibility to ensure documentation
was completed before leaving for the day. LVN B said it was important for the MAR to be accurate, to
ensure they gave Resident #1's medications appropriately, to not give double medications and to prevent
medication errors. On 11/21/25 at 3:00 PM, in an interview with the DON, he said he reviewed the
documentation and did not find the MARs to be checked off correctly for Resident #1. The DON said he
spoke to the nurses and they all ensured that they administered the medication. The DON said he will be
re-educating staff to ensure they check their MARs before leaving at the end of their shift. The DON said
documentation was important to show whether the medications were given or not and why not. The DON
said the expectation for staff was to ensure all documentation was accurate and completed. The DON said
there were no negative outcomes for Resident #1 or indications that his medications were not administered
as ordered, just not documented properly. Record review of the facility's Medication Administration policy
dated 02/10/20 reflected - Purpose: to safely and accurately prepare and administer medication according
to physician orders and patient needs. 9. Administration - document initials on MAR for each medication
administered. 10. Patient refusal - circle initials on MAR and document refusal on back side of MAR. Record
review of the facility's Clinical Document Guidelines policy dated 02/14/20 reflected - Policy: the patient's
clinical record provides a record of the health status, including observations, measurements, history and
prognosis and serves as the primary document describing healthcare services provided to the patient.
