Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sample residents (Resident 4) was free from significant medication errors by failing to:1. Ensure Resident 4's physician orders were followed. 2. Ensure licensed nurses administered Resident 4's scheduled medications on time. On 1/13/2026, Resident 4's scheduled 9 a.m. medications were administered at 11:33 a.m. (one hour and 33 minutes after the allowable administration time). 3. Ensure Resident 4 received the docusate sodium oral capsule (a medication, taken by mouth, used to soften stool) 250 milligrams (mg - unit of measurement) before the medication was documented as administered in the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR).

F 0760 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete capsule 250 mg was not in the medication cart.
