Record review of Resident #1's Psychiatric Physician Progress Notes dated 10/31/23 revealed, Resident #1's ordered medication Clobazam has a side effect of paranoia. He wrote the Resident #1 was drowsy and said she hears things and sees people which was kind off upsetting. Resident #1 was positive for visual and auditory hallucinations, with mild paranoia, apathetic(showing or feeling no interest, enthusiasm or concern) and anergic (continual feeling of tiredness, lack of energy or sleepiness which is often a symptom of mental health disorders). Resident #1's hallucinations are likely post ictal (due to a seizure) and from side effects of Clobazam. Record review of Resident #1 Provider Progress Note dated 10/31/23 written by NP B revealed, Resident #1 was seen for evaluation of acute changes related to somnolence incoherence, drowsiness and disorientation. NP B met with the Resident #1's family member and the surveyor in the resident's room at which point the family member said she was concerned about Resident #1's disorientation/pain and wanted to know what her current medications were.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few did not administer her Gabapentin because her medication had not arrived yet. Resident #1 said she was currently experiencing pain and needle pain in both her feet but she could not provide a pain scale. There was no observed cognitive deficit, Resident #1 was energetic and very responsive. In an interview on 10/25/23 at 09:45 AM, the Surveyor notified LVN B, that Resident #1 was reporting pain in her feet. She said she had just administered Gabapentin to Resident #1 and the resident did not report pain. LVN B said she would assess Resident #1 for pain again. In an interview on 10/25/23 at 01:00 PM, the Administrator said the IP had the authority to answer questions regarding the facilities nursing practices because at the time she assisted the DON in performing nursing administration tasks. In an interview on 10/25/23 at 04:50 PM, the IP said she nor the DON were notified of any delays in the receiving or administration of Resident #1's seizure meds. She said she did not know the resident's Clobazam was not available, or there were delays receiving her Lacosamide. She said the NP/MD had not been notified. In an interview on 10/25/23 at 05:10 PM, the Surveyor notified the DON and Administrator that Resident #1's medication was unavailable and on back order. The DON and Administrator said they were never informed by nursing staff about any availability issues with Resident #1's seizure meds and they would immediately talk to the NP to get an alternative. She said the NP/MD had not been previously notified. In an interview on 10/26/23 at 09:25 AM, the pharmacist said, the facility first received an eScript for Lacosamide 200 mg for Resident #1 on 10/24/23 at 01:09 PM and NP B verbally called in a prescription for Clobazam 10 mg on 10/25/23 at 05:30 PM. He said NP B sent in a prescription for Clobazam 5 mg Film and not tablets on 10/24/23 at 07:00 PM but that medication has been unavailable due to manufacturer production issues for a prolonged period of time so it would not be available, In an interview on 10/26/23 at 10:22 AM, NP B said she was not Resident #1's admitting NP and that she was first notified of Clobazam being unavailable for Resident #1 in the evening of 10/25/23. She said she saw the patient on Tuesday 10/24/23 but did not receive any notifications of medication availability issues until Wednesday 10/25/23. NP B said when a resident admits after 6 PM nursing staff is expected to call in the medication with the on-call provider. She said she was not aware that Resident #1 discharge orders were for ½ of the 10 mg tablets and never for the film. NP B said she expects medications should be ordered and next doses administered pursuant to the hospital discharge orders. NP B said prior to the evening of 10/25/23 she was not notified that Resident #1 did not receive any seizure meds (Levetiracetam, Lacosamide, Clobazam) on the evening of her admission, Lacosamide and Clobazam on 10/24/23 and the Clobazam on the morning of 10/25/23. She said once she was notified of the issues with the Clobazam she immediately called in a prescription to the pharmacy for a 3 days' supply of Clobazam 10 mg tablets. NP B said she expected nursing staff to notify her of any medication availability issues immediately so she could place an order for an alternative and the pharmacy could do a stat delivery. NP B said failure to administer medications like Levetiracetam, Clobazam and Lacosamide placed residents at risk for seizures. She said she saw Resident Tuesday, 10/24/23, and the resident complained of pain on her big toe so she prescribed Tylenol as needed, but she was never informed that the resident complained of other pain or the facility failing to administer her Gabapentin on admission when the resident reported pain at 10 out of 10. NP B said she expected nursing staff to have administered Gabapentin to Resident #1 upon admission if she reported pain at 10 out 10, and that she should have been notified of the resident's pain.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 10/25/23 she saw the resident to follow up on her seizure and pain medications and the resident complained of bilateral intermittent pain in her feet so she started Resident #1 on Tylenol #3 (a controlled substance used to treat pain) and increased her dose of Gabapentin. NP B said nursing staff should have notified her of Resident #1's continued pain. In an interview on 10/26/23 at 10;40 AM, LVN A said she was the admitting nurse for Resident #1 on 10/23/23. She said when a new resident is admitting the facility the nurse gets a verbal report from the discharging facility before the resident arrives and once the resident arrives they receive the discharge packet. LVN A said the residents medications are verified with the NP from the discharge packet and the medications are started based on the documented next dose. She said she could not remember when she entered Resident #1's medication to start but the resident reported pain at 10 out of 10 so she gave her Gabapentin and received/administered an order for Tylenol but she did not document it in the MAR or EMR. LVN A said Resident #1 said her feet were hurting really bad so she contacted NP A who gave her verbal orders for Tylenol but she never documented the order in the chart. When asked if Resident #1 continued to have pain after admission she said she honestly, didn't remember. LVN A said she did not go back to check on the resident until 9 or10 PM and she did not call the NP to follow up on Resident #1's pain. LVN A said nursing staff are expected to follow up with the provider for issues regarding pain or medications but it was too busy that night. LVN A said she couldn't say Resident #1's Levetiracetam or other seizure meds were on her mind when she talked to the NP and she would not know if the medication was in the EKit or not. She said she did not realize that she entered Resident #1's Clobazam as a film instead of tablets and she said failure to enter medications/administer medications as ordered could place residents at risk of continued/uncontrolled pain, seizures, medication error, adverse reactions and unavailability of medications. In an interview on 10/26/23 at 01:30 PM, NP A said she was the admitting nurse for Resident #1 on 10/23/23. She said LVN A called her and read the resident's hospital discharge medications to her and she gave an order to start all medications as listed in the discharge record. NP A said she did not make any changes to Resident #1's medication order included formulations to be administered or start times. She said she expected Resident #1's medications to be started according to the next dose due as listed on the hospital record. NP A said she did not give LVN A instructions to change from Clobazam tablets to Clobazam film and LVN A never reported that Resident #1 was experiencing pain at 10 out 10 upon admission. She said she expected LVN A to administer Gabapentin to the resident as ordered if she experienced pain, she said she did not order any additional pain medications because she was not aware the resident was reporting pain, and she expected to be notified if the resident was having pain so she could take appropriate action. NP A said she was not aware nor was she informed that Lacosamide and Clobazam were controlled substances required an eScript so she did not send a prescription to the pharmacy. NP A said she remembers this specifically because LVN A was concerned about Resident #1 receiving her Zolpidem (a controlled substance used for sleep) so she made sure to notify the MD to send the prescription. NP A said Resident #1 attending physician was changed immediately after admission so she was no longer her provider, but she said failure to administer medications as orders could place Resident #1 at risk for continued/irretractable pain and seizures. An observation and interview on 10/31/23 at 10:25 AM, Resident #1 appeared confused, she just stared down when asked questions by the surveyor. When the resident would response her answers were short phrases and were not always appropriate. Resident #1's family member said Resident #1 had been experiencing increased confusion since 10/25/23. She said on admission Resident #1's cognition upon admission was the same as it was at home, she had no kind of confusion, and her only limitations were physical which is why she was receiving therapy.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few member said she was concerned about Resident #1's medications because changes were made in the hospital, she said Resident #1's Levetiracetam was changed in the hospital and some additional seizure medications were started. The family member said she was the resident's POA and she was never notified of any difficulties acquiring Resident #1's seizure medication. The family member said she was really concerned about the confusion because it could stop her therapy progression. The family member said Resident #1 was mentally below her baseline at admission and her last ST session was not as successful as the previous weeks. She said she had informed an unknown nurse of Resident #1's increased confusion, wanted to see the doctor and she was awaiting a response. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 10:48 AM, NP B said she was not notified about a mental change of condition in Resident #1 and she saw the resident yesterday (10/30/23). An observation and interview on 10/31/23 at 11:05 AM revealed, NP B assessing Resident #1. When NP B asked the resident how she was doing she said my sister wants to talk to you. When NP B asked the resident questions, she was slow to answer, stared off and provided short answers. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 11:23 AM, NP B said Resident #1 appeared to be more sedated, delayed in her responses and stared at her sister when she was asked questions. She said the resident had experienced a change since she last saw her, and that previously Resident #1 provided robust answers and held conversations. NP B said Resident #1 had experienced a change of condition, so she would order labs and make some changes to her medication regimen. The NP said prior to seeing the resident today (10/31/23) she had not been notified or observed of Resident #1 experiencing a change of condition. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 01:32 PM, the ST said she had noticed a change of condition in Resident #1 compared to the previous week. She said the resident was more delayed when she worked with her yesterday. She said Resident #1 took longer to complete tasks and required more queuing. The ST said Resident #1 is not as verbose now and would only provide 1 word answers. When asked who she notified, the ST said she just documented it in her notes. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 12:00 PM, LVN D said she did not have enough conversation with Resident #1 to determine if she was confused but did appear tired today. She said upon admission the resident was not slow to respond, very chatty and interactive. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 01:45 PM, the OT said upon admission Resident #1 was talkative, carrying on conversations, alert, active and energetic. She said now Resident #1 is more flat and she has to initiate conversations with the resident. The OT said the resident spends most of their interactions with her eyes closed. She said the change of condition is more visible in her ADL tasks, specifically dressing. The OT said previously Resident #1 would initiate dressing if her clothes were placed in front of her but now she just stares at the clothes and requires queuing/prompting to initiate dressing. The OT said she had not notified her observed changes in Resident #1 she just documented it in her notes. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 01:56 PM, the DON said he was not aware of a change of condition in Resident #1 prior to the surveyor notifying the facility in the morning (10/31/23). He said therapy never notified him and his expectation was that therapy staff would notify nursing administration as well as the providers of any resident change of condition.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few morning. She said therapy staff normally notify nursing of any observed changes in residents but they had not informed her of any changes today. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 04:45 PM, the IP said she was not aware Resident #1 had hallucinations and delusions. She said the resident was previously very chatty with her and she had not noticed and was not notified about a mental change of condition prior to the surveyor bringing it up. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 04:51 PM, the Psychiatric MD said his first time seeing Resident #1 was today (10/31/23), due to a request made by the DON. He said Resident #1 was having visual and auditory hallucinations currently and experiencing some scary thoughts. The Psychiatric MD said Resident #1 said her son would jump off a building. He said these Hallucinations were most likely due to her order for Clobazam and most likely a side effect due to a seizure. He said seizure side effects could last from days to a couple of weeks. The Psychiatric MD said it was not advisable to discontinue Resident #1's Clobazam because the benefits of the treatment outweighed the risk. In an observation and interview on 11/01/23 at 11:50 AM, Resident #1 was observed to be eating a facility plated meal. She was slow to respond to the surveyor's questions and when asked how she was feeling she answered sister fills my pill box. Resident #1 appeared confused and suffering from increased cognitive impairment in comparison to the surveyors observation on 10/25/23. In an interview on 11/01/23 at 12:55 PM, the Rehab director said Resident #1 was working with OT, PT and ST. He said review of notes show that therapy staff had observed a decline in Resident #1 cognition (observed by ST), and decline in dressing ADL (observed by OT). The Rehab Director said normally, therapy staff would notify the nurse on the floor, him and nursing administration of any changes of condition like what Resident #1 experience. He said he was first notified of Resident #1's decline after I notified the facility on 10/31/23. The Rehab director said in Resident #1's decline there was a communication failure as well as some issues with clinical judgement. He said failure to communicate acute change of conditions could place residents at risk of worsening health conditions. In an interview on 11/01/23 at 01:40 PM, the DON said some side effects of seizures included prolonged lethargy, change in cognition and change in function. He said after her was notified of Resident #1's change of condition by the surveyor on 10/31/23 he immediately requested the Psychiatric MD see the Resident. He said prior to 10/31/23 there were no indications that Resident #1 needed to be followed by psychiatric services. The DON said the expectation is that any person who observes a change of condition notify nursing management, and the provider if possible. He said failure to give the appropriate notifications following changes of condition could place residents at risk of decline in health, late identification of acute problems and worsening health. Record review of the facility policy titled Changes in Resident's Conditions or Status revised 08/09/23 revealed, Notification of Changes- A facility must immediately inform th resident; consult with the resident's physician; and notify, consistent with his or her authority, the resident representatives(s) when there is: b- a significant change in the resident's physical, mental or psychosocial status (that is a deterioration in health, mental ) c- a need to alter treatment significantly (a need to discontinue an existing treatment due to adverse consequences, or to commence a new form of treatment).

F 0726 Record review of the facility undated EKit Contents revealed the facility had the following medications: Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm - 4 tablets of Donepezil 5 mg. - 4 capsules of Gabapentin 100 mg Residents Affected - Some - 4 tablets of Levetiracetam - 4 tablets of Metformin An observation and interview on 10/25/23 at 09:40 AM revealed, Resident #1 lying in bed, well dressed, well fed in no immediate distress. She said when she admitted 2 days ago her pain medications were not available as well as some other medications on her med list. Resident #1 said when she arrived at the facility she had pain at 10 out 10 and it was so bad she could not sleep but the facility did not administer her Gabapentin because her medication had not arrived yet. Resident #1 said she was currently experiencing pain and needle pain in both her feet but she could not provide a pain scale. In an interview on 10/26/23 at 09:25 AM, the pharmacist said, NP B sent in a prescription for Clobazam 5 mg Film and not tablets on 10/24/23 at 07:00 PM but that medication has been unavailable due to manufacturer production issues for a prolonged period of time so it would not be available, In an interview on 10/26/23 at 10;40 AM, LVN A said she was the admitting nurse for Resident #1 on 10/23/23. She said when a new resident is admitting the facility the nurse gets a verbal report from the discharging facility before the resident arrives and once the resident arrive they receive the discharge packet. LVN A said the residents medications are verified with the NP from the discharge packet and the medications are started based on the documented next dose. She said she could not remember when she entered Resident #1's medication to start but the resident reported pain at 10 out of 10 so she gave her Gabapentin and received/administered an order for Tylenol but she did not document it in the MAR or EMR. LVN A said Resident #1 said her feet were hurting really bad so she contacted NP A who gave her verbal orders for Tylenol but she never documented the order in the chart. When asked if Resident #1 continued to have pain after admission she said she honestly, didn't remember. NP A said she did not go back to check on the resident until 9/10 PM and she did not call the NP to follow up on Resident #1's pain. LVN A said nursing staff are expected to follow up with the provider for issues regarding pain or medications but it was too busy that night. LVN A said she couldn't say Resident #1's Levetiracetam or other seizure meds were on her mind when she talked to the NP and she would not know if the medication was in the EKit or not. She said she did not realize that she entered Resident #1's Clobazam as a film instead of tablets and she said failure to enter medications/administer medications as ordered could place residents at risk of continued/uncontrolled pain, seizures, medication error, adverse reactions and unavailability of medications. In an interview on 10/26/23 at 01:30 PM, NP A said she was the admitting nurse for Resident #1 on 10/23/23. She said LVN A called her and read the resident's hospital discharge medications to her and she gave an order to start all medications as listed in the discharge record. NP A said she did not make any changes to Resident #1's medication order included formulations to be administered or start times. She said she expected Resident #1's medications to be started according to the next dose due as listed on the hospital record. NP A said she did not give LVN B instructions to change from Clobazam tablets to Clobazam film and LVN B never reported that Resident #1 was experiencing pain at 10 (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675671 If continuation sheet Page 18 of 36 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675671 B.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some out 10 upon admission. She said she expected LVN B to administer Gabapentin to the resident as ordered if she experienced pain, she said she did not order any additional pain medications because she was not aware the resident was reporting pain, and she expected to be notified if the resident was having pain so she could take appropriate action. NP A said she was not aware nor was she informed that Lacosamide and Clobazam were controlled substances required an eScript so she did not send a prescription to the pharmacy. NP A said she remembers this specifically because LVN B was concerned about Resident #1 receiving her Zolpidem (a controlled substance used for sleep) so she made sure to notify the MD to send the prescription. NP A said Resident #1 attending physician was changed immediately after admission so she was no longer her provider, but she said failure to administer medications as orders could place Resident #1 at risk for continued/irretractable pain and seizures. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 02:38 PM, the Medical Records Director said the facility did not complete nor have records of annual competency assessments for nursing staff. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 02:40 PM, the DON said the facility did not assess new hires that certain competencies were expected with their professional license. He said during orientation, new nurses are asked about areas of concern and additional training is provided on identified areas. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 03:05 PM, the IP said no one actually assesses nursing competency. Competency is signed off based on the online training. In an interview on 11/01/23 at 12:10 PM, LVN A said Resident #1 had just received a brand new order for Donepezil on 10/31/23 so she did not received it on the night of 10/31/23 because it was not available. LVN A said she did not know that Donepezil was available in the EKit. She said there was a list of medications that could be dispensed from the EKit but she does not believe she checked. LVN A said she started working with the facility in January of 2023 and she was never really trained on using the EKit, or admission medication reconciliation and she just learned on her own. She said failure to administer medication as ordered could place residents at risk for untreated health conditions. In an interview on 11/01/23 at 01:40 PM, training records for LVN A showed she was not trained on medication reconciliation/medication administration/documentation. He said he was responsible for ensuring training is completed by staff prior to working on the floor. When asked if staff with inadequate training should be allowed on the floor, the DON said each nurses licensure represented her nursing competency. In an interview on 11/01/23 at 02:35 PM, the Administrator said she was unaware that LVN A had not attempted her online training modules. She said on hire nursing staff go through a healthcare academy that has assigned courses they must complete. When asked if nursing staff should be on the floor if their training was not attempted/completed, the Administrator would not answer. She said training involved on the job training, training at orientation and continuous training during employment. In an interview on 11/01/23 at 02:55 PM, the DON said there was no competency check off completed on nurses on hire or annually but the facility would be providing assessments going forward.

She said when she admitted 2 days ago her pain medications were not available as well as some other medications on her med list. Resident #1 said when she arrived at the facility she had pain at 10 out 10 and it was so bad she could not sleep but the facility did not administer her Gabapentin because her medication had not arrived yet. Resident #1 said she was currently experiencing pain and needle pain in both her feet but she could not provide a pain scale. In an interview on 10/25/23 at 09:45 AM, the Surveyor notified LVN B, that Resident #1 was reporting pain in her feet. She said she had just administered Gabapentin to Resident #1 and the resident did not report pain. LVN B said she would assess Resident #1 for pain again. In an interview on 10/25/23 at 03:33 PM, the IP said she had not heard anything about Resident #1's seizure medications being on backorder and medications should be started based on the orders on the hospital discharge records. She said Resident #1's admitted nurse should have addressed the residents pain by administering her ordered Gabapentin stat and failure to administer medications as ordered could result in uncontrolled pain and an increased risk of seizures. In an interview on 10/25/23 at 04:50 PM, the IP said she nor the DON were notified of any delays in the receiving or administration of Resident #1's seizure meds. She said she did not know the resident's Clobazam was not available, or there were delays receiving her Lacosamide. In an interview on 10/25/23 at 05:14 PM, the Surveyor notified the DON and Administrator that Resident #1's medication was unavailable and on back order. The DON and Administrator said they were never informed by nursing staff about any availability issues with Resident #1's seizure meds and they would immediately talk to the NP to get an alternative. They said failure to receive seizure medications as orders placed residents at risk of seizures. In an interview on 10/25/23 at 05:35 PM, the DON said that NP B was calling in an alternative to Resident #1's Clobazam and that the resident's Lacosamide was delayed due the provider sending in a late eScript.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Actual harm eScript for Lacosamide 200 mg for Resident #1 on 10/24/23 at 01:09 PM and NP B verbally called in a prescription for Clobazam 10 mg on 10/25/23 at 05:30 PM. He said NP B sent in a prescription for Clobazam 5 mg Film and not tablets on 10/24/23 at 07:00 PM but that medication has been unavailable due to manufacturer production issues for a prolonged period of time so it would not be available, Residents Affected - Some In an interview on 10/26/23 at 10:22 PM, NP B said she was not Resident #1's admitting NP and that she was first notified of Clobazam being unavailable for Resident #1 in the evening of 10/25/23. She said she saw the patient on Tuesday 10/24/23 but did not receive any notifications of medication availability issues until Wednesday 10/25/23. NP B said when a resident admits after 6 PM nursing staff is expected to call in the medication with the on-call provider. She said she was not aware that Resident #1 discharge orders were for ½ of the 10 mg tablets and never for the film. NP B said she expects medications should be ordered and next doses administered pursuant to the hospital discharge orders. NP said prior to the evening of 10/25/23 she was not notified that Resident #1 did not receive any seizure meds (Levetiracetam, Lacosamide, Clobazam) on the evening of her admission, Lacosamide and Clobazam on 10/24/23 and the Clobazam on the morning of 10/25/23. She said once she was notified of the issues with the Clobazam she immediately called in a prescription to the pharmacy for a 3 days' supply of Clobazam 10 mg tablets. She said the resident received her first dose of the tablets were on the evening of 10/25/23. NP B said she expected nursing staff to notify her of any mediation availability issues immediately so she could place an order for an alternative and the pharmacy could do a stat delivery. NP B said failure to administer medications like Levetiracetam, Clobazam and Lacosamide placed residents at risk for seizures. She said she saw Resident Tuesday, 10/24/23, and the resident complained of pain on her big toe so she prescribed Tylenol as needed, but she was never informed that the resident complained of pain or the facility failing to administer her Gabapentin on admission when the resident reported pain at 10 out of 10. NP B said she expected nursing staff to have administered Gabapentin to Resident #1 upon admission if she reported pain at 10 out 10, she believed the medication was available in the EKit, and that she should have been notified of the resident's pain. She said on 10/25/23 she saw the resident to follow up on her seizure and pain medications and the resident complained of bilateral intermittent pain in her feet so she started Resident #1 on Tylenol #3 (a controlled substance used to treat pain) and increased her dose of Gabapentin. NP B said nursing staff should have notified her of Resident #1's continued pain. In an interview on 10/26/23 at 10;40 AM, LVN A said she was the admitting nurse for Resident #1 on 10/23/23. She said when a new resident is admitting the facility the nurse gets a verbal report from the discharging facility before the resident arrives and once the resident arrive they receive the discharge packet. LVN A said the residents medications are verified with the NP from the discharge packet and the medications are started based on the documented next dose. She said she could not remember when she entered Resident #1's medication to start but the resident reported pain at 10 out of 10 so she gave her Gabapentin and received/administered an order for Tylenol but she did not document it in the MAR or EMR. LVN A said Resident #1 said her feet were hurting really bad so she contacted NP A who gave her verbal orders for Tylenol but she never documented the order in the chart. When asked if Resident #1 continued to have pain after admission she said she honestly, didn't remember. NP A said she did not go back to check on the resident until 9/10 PM and she did not call the NP to follow up on Resident #1's pain. LVN A said nursing staff are expected to follow up with the provider for issues regarding pain or medications but it was too busy that night. LVN A said she couldn't say Resident #1's Levetiracetam or other seizure meds were on her mid when she talked to the NP and she would not know if the medication was in the EKit or not.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Some Resident #1's Clobazam as a film instead of tablets and she said failure to enter medications/administer medications as ordered could place residents at risk of continued/uncontrolled pain, seizures, medication error, adverse reactions and unavailability of medications. In an interview on 10/26/23 at 01:30 PM, NP A said she was the admitting nurse for Resident #1 on 10/23/23. She said LVN A called her and read the resident's hospital discharge medications to her and she gave an order to start all medications as listed in the discharge record. NP A said she did not make any changes to Resident #1's medication order included formulations to be administered or start times. She said she expected Resident #1's medications to be started according to the next dose due as listed on the hospital record. NP A said she did not give LVN A instructions to change from Clobazam tablets to Clobazam film and LVN A never reported that Resident #1 was experiencing pain at 10 out 10 upon admission. She said she expected LVN A to administer Gabapentin to the resident as ordered if she experienced pain, she said she did not order any additional pain medications because she was not aware the resident was reporting pain, and she expected to be notified if the resident was having pain so she could take appropriate action. NP A said she was not aware nor was she informed that Lacosamide and Clobazam were controlled substances required an eScript so she did not send a prescription to the pharmacy. NP A said she remembers this specifically because LVN A was concerned about Resident #1 receiving her Zolpidem (a controlled substance used for sleep) so she made sure to notify the MD to send the prescription. NP A said Resident #1 attending physician was changed immediately after admission so she was no longer her provider, but she said failure to administer medications as orders could place Resident #1 at risk for continued/irretractable pain and seizures. In an interview on 10/31/23 at 12:13 PM, the IP said the facility never administered the Clobazam 5 mg film to Resident #1 just the 10 mg pills. In an interview on 11/01/23 at 12:10 PM, LVN A said Resident #1 had just received a brand new order for Donepezil on 10/31/23 so she did not received it on the night of 10/31/23 because it was not available. LVN A said she did not know that Donepezil was available in the EKit. She said there was a list of medications that could be dispensed from the EKit but she does not believe she checked. LVN A said she started working with the facility in January of 2023 and she was never really trained on using the EKit, or admission medication reconciliation and she just learned on her own. She said failure to administer medication as ordered could place residents at risk for untreated health conditions.
