Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain medical records in accordance with accepted professional standards and practices for 1 (CR #1) of 4 residents reviewed for medication administration. 1-LVN A and LVN B documented CR #1 was being monitored for behaviors and medication side effects and documented CR #1 was administered medication in the evening of 12/27/2024 and the day of 12/28/2024 while he was at the hospital. 2-LVN A documented CR #1 had a pain level of 3 (on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the most pain) on 12/29/2024 while he was at the hospital. This failure could possibly lead to resident injury due to inaccurate documentation and reflection of resident health and care.

CR #1 also had a history of having Dementia and took a routine antipsychotic medication, putting him at risk of side effects with an initiated date of 3/2/2023, and interventions including: monitoring, documenting, and reporting PRN any adverse reactions of Psychotropic medications such as unsteady gait, frequent falls, diarrhea, muscle cramps, nausea, behavior symptoms not usual to the person.

She said she documented in CR #1's nursing progress notes that he was sent to the hospital and clicked on No for all his orders. She would review his Orders and can make Late Entry notes to correct any incorrect documentation. Interview with the DON on 1/2/24 at 1:17pm, she said that LVN A and LVN B should have documented that Resident #1 was in the hospital and not documented medications as given. The DON said that not accurately documenting that information could delay the resident's treatment. When asked what risk it could have posed to CR #1 if medications were documented as given when it was not, she said, I don't know how else to answer that. The DON called back later and said that LVN A will do a late entry in the system, and that LVN B will do so as well, and that she would conduct individual in-services for both nurses on medication documentation. Later interview with the Administrator and the DON on 1/3/24 at 3:03pm, the DON reviewed Resident #1's MAR and stated that the Senna was the only medication that was incorrectly documented as given. The DON also said she would begin conducting in-services on accurate documentation for the rest of her staff.
