F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 8/23/23 at 2:10 pm the IDON said that the Pharmacy A representative told her that Resident #1's Invega injection was requested by the facility on 4/13/23 and delivered on 4/14/23, on 5/13/23 and delivered 5/14/23, and on 6/13/23 and delivered 6/15/23. Record review of Pharmacy A's Packing Slips verified Invega Sustenna 117MG/0.75ML for Resident #1 was delivered to the facility on: 4/14/23 at 4:00 am and was signed for by RN C, 5/14/23 (no time specified) and was signed for by LVN B, and 6/15/23 at 3:47 am and was signed for by LVN B. During an interview on 8/23/23 at 11:29 am LVN A said the number 9 on the MAR meant the medication was not given for some reason and that the reasons were documented in the progress notes. She verified that her initials were [LVN A's initials] and that she documented on Resident #1's MAR a 9 on 4/13/23 and 5/13/23. LVN A said that Resident #1 did not receive the Invega injection on 4/13/23 and 5/13/23 because it was not available, she added that she had ordered it from the pharmacy, but it did not arrive on the day the medication was due to be administered. LVN A stated the facility's nurses were responsible for ordering medications when they were out. LVN A stated she documented in the progress notes that the medication was pending from the pharmacy. LVN A said she did not administer the medication because she was not at the facility when it was delivered. She added that she did not remember but said she was sure she did not work on 4/13/23. She said she was sure the injection was administered because Resident #1 had not had any changes in mood or behavior but could not remember administering the injection. LVN A said the Invega injection's administration should have been documented in the progress notes by the nurse administering it. She added that the nurse that was on shift when the medication was delivered should have administered and documented it. LVN A said she did document that it was not available and notified the NP that the medication was not available. During an interview on 8/23/23 at 1:16 pm the ADON said that he had started working at the facility less than 90 days ago and was not aware that Resident #1 had not received the Invega injection on 4/13/23, 5/13/23 and 6/13/23. The ADON stated there had not been reports from the staff or the NP, who visits the facility every day, regarding changes in Resident #1's mood or behavior. The ADON said it was important that Resident #1 received the Invega injection every month because it affects her mood and behaviors and a lapse in the administration of the medication was not good because it needed to reach a therapeutic level. The ADON said the Invega could not be ordered before the 13th of the month because the insurance did not allow it and only covered the medication when ordered every 30 days. During a telephone interview on 8/23/23 at 3:53 pm the Pharmacist from Pharmacy A said she was not able to find evidence that the insurance rejected payment for the refill of Invega, she added that Resident #1's insurance plan did allow the medication to be filled a few days before it was due to be administered. During an interview on 8/23/23 at 4:25 pm the DON said the software used by the facility did not allow the facility to order the Invega injection until the 13th of every month, which is when Resident #1's Invega injection was due. During an interview on 8/23/23 at 3:25 pm the NP said that he was notified that the medication Invega was not administered to Resident #1 due to it not being available on 4/13/23, 5/13/23, and 6/13/23. He added that the nurses were told to administer the medication as soon as it arrived at the facility. The NP said he saw the resident monthly, and she had been stable, there had not been any changes in mood or behaviors, she had been doing well and had been very pleasant.

LVN D said she was sure that LVN A administered the injection but did not know if LVN A documented the administration. LVN D said that she was sure that LVN A administered it because she took the injection out of LVN D's medication cart and told LVN D that she had forgotten to administer it and was going to administer it. LVN D said she did speak with the NP to get an order for late administration of the Invega injection. LVN D said that there had been no changes in Resident #1's mood or behavior noted or reported.
