Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were administered
according to physician orders for one of three residents (Resident 2) when Resident 2 missed a dosage of
three medications on 8/20/25.This failure had the potential to negatively affect the health and well-being of
Resident 2, and the efficacy of the medications being administered.Findings: A review of Resident 2's
admission RECORD, indicated that Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 2025 with diagnoses which
included displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur (a break in the upper part of the hip in which the
bones are out of place), and hypertension (a condition in which the force of the blood pushing against the
blood vessel walls is consistently too high. This causes the heart to work harder to pump blood). A review of

8/20/25.A review of Resident 2's MAR, dated August 2025, indicated a 7 was documented for the 6 a.m.
dose of Famotidine on 8/20/25. The chart code on the August 2025 MAR indicated that 7 indicated
Sleeping.During an interview on 9/4/25, at 10:07 a.m., with LN 2, LN 2 stated that if a resident's medication
was not available to administer during medication administration time, she would check to see if the
medication was in the e-kit in the medication storage room. LN 2 stated that there was a list of medications
and dosages available in the e-kit, so if the medication was in the e-kit, she would take the medication out
of the e-kit and fill out the form indicating which medication she took and fax the form to the pharmacy so
that the pharmacy could replace the e-kit. LN 2 stated that if the medication was not in the e-kit, she would
call the resident's physician to let the physician know that the medication was not available in the
medication cart or the e-kit. LN 2 stated that the physician sometimes gave a one-time order to give the
medication when it arrived late, then the regular medication times resumed. LN 2 stated that she would
document that the medication was not available and what steps she took to resolve it in the resident's
progress notes. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/4/25, at 12:10 p.m., with the Nurse
Supervisor (SUP), Resident 2's electronic medical record (EMR) was reviewed. The SUP confirmed that on
Resident 2's MAR on 8/20/25, at 9 a.m., a 13 was entered for the dose of Amlodipine and the dose of
Linzess; where the LN would document that the medications were given. The SUP further confirmed the 13
was a code that indicated Drug not available. The SUP confirmed that on 8/20/25, at 6 a.m., a 7 was
entered for the dose of Famotidine; where the LN would document that the medication was given. The SUP
further confirmed the 7 was a code that indicated Sleeping. The SUP further confirmed that there was no
progress notes documented in Resident 2's EMR on 8/20/25 that indicated why the medications were not
given or that the physician or pharmacist was notified. The SUP stated that her expectation was that if a
resident's medications were not available to give during the medication administration time, the LN called
the pharmacy for follow up and notified the resident's physician. The SUP stated the LN needed to
document in the resident's progress notes that the medication was not given and what was done about it.
The SUP further stated that, if necessary, the LN needed to endorse a follow up to the oncoming shift LN.
The SUP acknowledged that the facility policy was not followed. The SUP stated the risk was that Resident
2's medications were not given as ordered. The SUP further stated that Resident 2's blood pressure could
elevate if Resident 2 did not receive the Amlodipine, Resident 2 could become constipated if Resident 2 did
not receive Linzess, and Resident 2 could have indigestion if Resident 2 did not receive Famotidine. The
SUP stated that the facility had a medication dispensing machine and was in the process of educating the
staff on how to use the machine.During a phone interview on 9/4/25, at 1:29 p.m., with the Pharmacy
Consultant (PHARM), the PHARM stated that there was a new medication dispensing machine at the
facility and the medications needed for the residents were all in the machine. The PHARM further stated
that if there was a medication that the staff needed that was not available in the machine, then the staff
could get the medication from the e-kit. The PHARM stated that accessing the medications from the
medication dispensing machine was the first priority at the facility, but if a LN did not have access to the
medication dispensing machine the LN could get the medication from the e-kit. The PHARM further stated
that using the medication dispensing machine was faster than using pharmacy delivery for medications.
The PHARM stated that the LNs still needed to communicate with the physician and the pharmacy when
medication doses were not available.A review of a facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Administering
Medications, revised April 2019, indicated, .Policy Statement.Medications are administered in a safe and
timely manner, and as prescribed.Policy Interpretation and Implementation.4. Medications are administered
in accordance with prescriber
