This failure could affect the resident by not receiving a therapeutic dose and could prevent the resident from receiving the highest possible benefit from their medication. Findings included: Record review of [AGE] year-old male resident with history of hemiplegia (paralysis that affects only one side of your body) of right side, altered mental status (comprises a group of clinical symptoms rather than a specific diagnosis, and includes cognitive disorders, attention disorders, arousal disorders, and decreased level of consciousness), and traumatic brain injury (an injury that affects how the brain works) with recent diagnosis of Pneumonia (an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs) on 04/13/24. His most recent MDS 03/01/24 revealed BIMS summary score of a 0 (severe impairment), and he was non-interviewable. Record review of Physician Orders on 04/17/24, revealed: Prednisone give 20 milligrams (2 tabs =40mg) by mouth one time a day for Pneumonia for 5 Days. The eMAR read to administer Prednisone 40mg by mouth one time a day for 5 Days. Give 2 tabs (40mg) tab. After the state surveyor interview with the MA, the order was changed to Prednisone oral tab 20mg: Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day related to Pneumonia. Observation and interview on 04/17/24 at 2:37 p.m. with MA A revealed only (1) Prednisone 20 mg tablet missing from the blister pack while doing medication cart check. The instructions on blister pack read to administer Prednisone (2) 20 mg tablets by mouth one time a day. MA A said, she should have administered both prednisone 20 mg tablets to equal a total of Prednisone 40 mg, instead of just (1) 20 mg tab. She said, the risk of not getting his full dosage is that it was not meeting the requirements that was ordered by the physician. In an interview on 04/18/24 at 10:50 a.m., the DON said, MA A didn't fully read the entire order and only administered (1) Prednisone 20mg tab. She said, we spoke with the physician yesterday, and the order was changed to Prednisone 20 mg BID.
