F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain a physician order before administering a medication to one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). For Resident 1 the facility failed to:1. Obtain a physician order prior to the administration of Benadryl tablet (medication used to relieve symptoms of allergies) 25 milligrams (mg., metric unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount) orally.2. Ensure the Benadryl 25 mg. tablet was not left at Resident 1's bedside table unattended.These deficient practices had the potential to result in harm to Resident 1 and other residents from inappropriate and unsafe medication administration.During a review of the admission Record, indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 1/31/25 and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including generalized muscle weakness, hypertension (high blood pressure) and dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning).During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 9/14/25, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had intact cognition (participant has sufficient judgement, planning organization, self-control, and the persistence needed to manage the normal demands of the participant's environment). During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/18/25 at 8:05 a.m. with Resident 1, a medicine cup with one pink pill was observed on Resident 1's bedside table. Resident 1 stated she complained of itching, and she requested licensed vocational nurse (LVN 1) for Benadryl. During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/18/25 at 8:47 a.m. with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS 1), in Resident 1's room, RNS 1 stated there is a medication cup with Benadryl on top of Resident 1's table. RNS 1 stated, when LVN 1 brought the Benadryl to Resident 1, LVN 1 should observe Resident 1 take the Benadryl to ensure that Resident 1 had taken the Benadryl. Resident 1 was observed taking the medication cup from RNS 1 and swallowed the Benadryl. During a follow-up interview on 9/18/25 at 11:49 a.m., RNS 1 confirmed there was no physician order for the Benadryl that was given to Resident 1.

LVN 1 stated she handed the Benadryl to Resident 1 without observing Resident 1 take the Benadryl. LVN 1 stated she did not check for Benadryl order before giving the medication. LVN 1 stated, She had an order, I think. That was my mistake, I did not check the order. LVN 1 stated it is important to check physician orders to prevent medication errors. LVN 1 stated not checking the physician order may result in giving the wrong medication, or wrong dose, or result in giving medication Resident 1 may be allergic to. LVN 1 stated it is important to check Medication Administration Record (MAR, a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) and verify medication orders before giving the Benadryl to Resident 1 for safety.
