The MAR further revealed that the order was discontinued on 02/14/25. The MAR indicated that Resident

Record review of Resident #1's Lab result from the hospital dated 02/08/25 stated Lamotrigine Level
(abnormal). Specimen: Blood. Result: 21.1 2.0-20.0 ug/mL normal range
During an interview on 02/27/25 at 10:32 AM, Resident #1 stated that she had only been living in the facility
a brief time and had no concerns with her care whatsoever. She stated she recently moved into the facility
after leaving the hospital because of difficulties with her seizures.
During an interview on 02/27/25 at 10:43 AM, the ADON stated that the charge nurses were responsible for
putting new orders in for new admissions, but that she helped put them in and the DON would review them.
ADON stated that on, 02/05/25 when Resident #1 was admitted to the facility, she put her admission
medications into PCC and they were correct as follows: Lamotrigine 250 mg every morning and
Lamotrigine 300 mg every night. The ADON stated because that medication only came in 100 or 200 mg
tabs, the pharmacy called and wanted her to put in the order for the morning dose as 100 mg, 2.5 tabs. She
stated that she made a mistake by not changing the dosage to 100 mg, she left it at 200 mg in the MAR, so
Resident #1 had gotten a 500 mg dose for her morning dosage on dates 02/05/25, 02/06/25, 02/07/25, and
02/08/25. The ADON stated that Resident #1 was sent back to the hospital on [DATE] because her head
wound had started bleeding again. She stated that she was not sure what reaction a person could
experience by having too much Lamotrigine, so she looked it up on the internet and stated that it could
make someone have a rash or be lethargic. The ADON stated that a possible negative outcome for giving a
wrong dosage to a resident could be that it could make them lethargic or have a rash.
During a phone interview on 02/27/25 at 11:15 AM, the Pharmacist for the facility stated that if a resident
had 250 mg more Lamotrigine daily than was ordered, it could not cause a resident to be hospitalized . She
stated that that drug would not build up in the system but excretes in urine with a rapid peak of 1-5 hours.
The Pharmacist went on to state that the amount given could cause a skin rash in extreme cases, or
nausea. She stated it could not cause bleeding. The Pharmacist stated that Lamotrigine, with the dosage
being a little bit over would not cause any issues. The Pharmacist was told that Resident #1's Lamotrigine
blood level was checked at the hospital and the lab came back one point above the normal range. She
stated it would not cause any issues being that close to the normal range.
During an interview on 02/27/25 at 1:15 PM, the DON stated that her expectations of medications
