policy of administering medications. The DON said that not following the facility policy could have a
potential negative outcome for residents including significant clinical changes in condition.
During an interview on 01/29/2024 at 4:38 PM MA A said she had worked at the facility for about a year.
She said Resident #7 and another resident were sitting in the dining room. She said she gave another
resident her medication and Resident #7 grabbed the medication and took it. She said she sat the
medication down in front of the other resident and turned her head and when she turned back around the
other resident hollered out, she took my medication. MA A said she could have gotten the medications
mixed up but is not sure what happened when she had her head turned. Said she had just become a
certified medication aide and she could have made the medication error. MA A said the DON came to the
facility to investigate the medication error and she was suspended pending investigation and received
written disciplinary action. She said when she returned to the facility, she was in serviced on the facility
policy of following the rights of administering medications, and she was observed during medication

places residents at risk of significant clinical changes in condition related to medication errors.
Record review of a statement dated 07/15/2023 written by MA A revealed: While I was preparing their
evening medication I went ahead and pulled them together because both residents were in the dining room
and sit together during meal times. When I handed Resident #7 her meds she took them and when I
handed the other resident her cup she realized they were not hers and upon inspection I found that
Resident #7 had taken the other residents meds and I reported it to the nurse immediately. I am aware that
I should not have prepared the 2 meds at the same time due to risk of med error and the risk of serious
injury that I could have caused.
Record review of a statement undated written by Resident #7 revealed: MA A handed me a cup of pills, I
cannot see that well so I took them and the lady at the table with me told MA A those were not her pills, she
determined that I had took the other residents pills and not mine.
