She checked Resident #223's blood pressure reading 138/72, Pulse 72. LVN A crushed all medications and mixed them with 1 spoon of vanilla pudding and administered to Resident #223. LVN A said that she crushed the medications because the resident was on a mechanical soft diet. She said that there was no order to crush medication, but she was told in report that resident's medications were to be crushed. LVN A said she knew not to crush a medication that said Extended Release (ER) if a contraindication was noted in the MAR, she would not have crushed it.

F 0759 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few medication error nurse would be expected to notify the physician, the resident, their family or POA, herself, the DON and Administrator. She said the risk for crushing medications that should not be crushed such as ER medication was that a resident could get a burst of the medication at once. Interview with administrator on 03/28/24 at 05:39 pm revealed that she did not feel it was fair for surveyor to interview her about clinical medication error and the error rate and referred surveyor to interview the DON again.
