However, further review of Resident 1's medical record failed to show the facility notified Resident 1 or
Resident 1's RP of the new prescription for the Levaquin medication.
On 9/4/24 at 1150 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the
ADON. The ADON stated the documentation to show the RP was notified of the new prescription for the
Levaquin medication would be in Resident 1's medical record. However, the ADON verified there was no
documentation to show Resident 1 or the RP was notified of the new Levaquin medication order.
