interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one of three residents' (Resident 1) medication
(Hydralazine-used to treat high blood pressure) was administered in accordance with the physician order.
The medication was not held for systolic blood pressure (SBP-force of blood pumped out of the heart)
below 110 per order.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for Resident 1 to have low blood pressure requiring medical attention.

tablet by mouth three times a day for hypertension (condition in which the force of blood against the artery
walls is too high), hold if SBP below 110 and heart rate below 60.
