beginning at 7:37 AM, LVN C said she worked 11/13/2025. LVN C said Resident #1 was observed doing her normal behaviors on 11/13/2025 but in the afternoon was observed not doing her normal behavior moving her arms and legs when engaged with staff so the DON was informed, and she was evaluated by the DON and sent to the ER. LVN C said she was questioned about giving Resident #1 the Primidone but stated she checks three times between the medication and resident before giving the medication. LVN C said a possible negative outcome for giving a resident medication that did not belong to them could be that they could become sick. On observation of the med cart, revealed Resident #1's medication behind her card and Resident #2's medication behind his card, including the Primidone. The medications belonging to each resident were behind the card that displayed their name.In an interview on 11/15/2025 at 9:30 AM, The DON stated she assessed Resident #1 on 11/13/2025 during afternoon rounds when staff informed her that Resident #1 was not moving her arms and legs as she normally did, since Resident #1 was nonverbal that was how staff identified the concern. The DON called the physician, and he ordered her to send Resident #1 to the hospital for evaluation. The DON stated she returned on 11/14/2025 and the discharge paperwork from the hospital revealed she had a UTI and was prescribed an antibiotic but that she also tested positive for barbiturates. The DON said there were no barbiturates in the facility and did not know how she could test positive for such so she called the pharmacist, and the pharmacist said the drug Primidone metabolizes as a barbiturate and would come up in lab work as a barbiturate. The DON said the only resident in the facility that received Primidone was Resident #2. The DON said she observed the med cart and Resident #1 and Resident #2's prescriptions were next to each other, Resident #1's medication was behind the card that displayed her name and Resident #2's medication was behind the card that displayed his name. The DON said that she doesn't know how Resident #1 tested positive for barbiturates and felt the only possible way was if Resident #2's medication was inaccurately given to Resident #1. The DON said nurses were responsible for ensuring medication was given accurately but she was also responsible. The DON said she in-serviced her staff about the drug Primidone and medication administration on 11/14/2025.In an interview on 11/15/2025 at 10:09 AM, The Medical Director said he had received a phone call from the DON about Resident #1, and he had ordered her to go to the hospital for an evaluation as she has had UTIs in the past and he thought her behavior was a result of a UTI. The MD said when the DON called him and told him about the positive barbiturate test, he agreed that the Primidone does metabolize as a barbiturate. The MD said Resident #2's dose was a low dose taking only 75mg. and the negative outcome of having taken that medication without a prescription was not life threatening, but it could cause some drowsiness. The MD said Resident #1's symptoms on 11/13/2025 aligned with the positive UTI. In an interview on 11/15/2025 at 10:36 AM, a family member to Resident #1 stated no one in his family would have barbiturates or would give Resident #1 barbiturates.In an interview on 11/15/2025 at 10:57 AM, LVN A who worked on 11/08/2025 said she believed she gave Resident #2 his primidone and said she was doing something and forgot to sign his medication off after task was completed.Attempted interview with LVN B on 11/15/2025 at 11:05 AM about medication administration the day she worked on 11/09/2025 was unsuccessful.In an interview and observation on 11/15/2025 at 11:20 AM, Resident #2 was dressed for the day, clean and groomed, he stated he has not missed his medication for his tremors (Primidone). When asked about specific dates he said he could not be for sure but thought he had not missed his tremor medication.Observation on 11/15/2025 at 11:30 AM, Resident #1 was in a Geri chair in the common area, she was not interview able.
