F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure each resident was free of any significant medication errors for 1 of 7 residents (Resident #4) reviewed for medications. Residents Affected - Few -The facility failed to provide Resident #4 with Doxycycline (an anti-infective). This deficient practice could result in a risk to the residents' health and complications which can lead to infection. The findings included: Record review of the Facility Incident Report, dated 4/22/2023, reflected LVN C transcribed Resident #4's medication orders. The order for Doxycycline was 100 mg BID X 21 days for epididymitis (inflammation on a coiled tube behind the testes). When LVN C transcribed the order, she entered the order to read every 21 days instead of for 21 days. This resulted in Resident #3 missing 25 doses from 4/4/2023 to 4/16/2023. Record review of Resident #4's MAR showed no Doxycycline medication administration from 4/2/2023 to 4/26/2023.
