licensed pharmacist.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services (including
procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and
biologicals) to meet the needs of each resident for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #1), reviewed for
pharmaceutical services, in that:
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #1 was administered Morphine 10mg ER in accordance with the
physician's order when the resident was administered Morphine 100mg instead.
This failure placed the resident at risk for adverse reactions that could have been life threatening, and
which lead to the hospitalization of Resident #1 for acute respiratory distress.
The findings included:
An interview with the resident was attempted via telephone on November 1, 2024. The attempt was
unsuccessful as the resident did not answer or respond to the call.
Record review of Resident #1's admission record revealed the resident was an [AGE] year old female who
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included: unspecified dementia, unspecified
severity, with other behavioral disturbance, unspecified dementia, moderate, without behavioral
disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety, unspecified lack of coordination,
muscle weakness, difficulty walking, cognitive communication deficit, major depressive disorder, recurrent,
moderate, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia (a medical syndrome that causes chronic widespread
pain), acute kidney failure, chronic kidney disease, and systematic lupus erythematosus (superficial
reddening of the skin), organ or system involvement unspecified.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan, (with an initiation date of 05/21/2024) revealed in part:
Resident #1 was on pain medication therapy and had an intervention to administer medication as ordered,
monitor for altered mental status, anxiety, constipation, depression, dizziness, lack of appetite, nausea,
vomiting, pruritus (itchy skin), respiratory distress, sedation, and urinary retention. Observe for adverse
reactions with every interaction with the resident.
Resident #1 had acute/chronic pain related to fibromyalgia and lupus and had an intervention to anticipate
the need for pain relief and respond immediately to any complaint of pain and follow the pain scale to
medicate as ordered.

In an interview with Resident #1's RR on November 1, 2024, at 11:23AM, RR stated that she was
contacted by the facility on October 30, 2024, at 5:13PM, but missed their call. At 5:15PM on October 30,
2024, as RR was about to return the facility's call, RR's phone rang. The person on the other end was the
DON for the facility. RR stated that she had never spoken to the DON before. The DON informed RR that
the doctor had changed Resident #1's pain medication to Morphine yesterday (October 29, 2024) and that
Morphine had been administered that day (October 30, 2024). However, there had been a mistake with the
dose administered and Resident #1 was administered Morphine 100mg instead of Morphine 10mg.
According to RR, the DON was unsure what the Morphine was being administered for, but further explained
this was a pharmacy error although a facility CMA had administered the dose. The RR said that the DON
told the RR that they had Narcan on-hand if Resident #1 experienced respiratory distress or shallow
breathing, but further added that the Narcan would be of no benefit at that time as it should have been
administered immediately if it was going to be administered. The DON informed RR that the resident was
fine all day. The DON told RR that the resident did experience sleepiness and sweating, but this was
probably because the resident insisted that the window in her room be opened. The DON told RR that they
had been checking the resident's vitals signs every 30 minutes-1 hours. The RR insisted that the resident
be taken to the ED. The DON agreed. The RR called Resident #1 to check on the resident and Resident #1
had not been told of the mistake with her medication. Resident #1 told RR that her head was hurting, she
had not been feeling right, but she could not get any help. RR then called the DON back to make sure they
were transporting the resident to the ED and the DON said she was filling out the transfer/ED paperwork.
RR said the DON again blamed the pharmacy for the mistake. RR called Resident #1 once again and EMS
had arrived to take the resident to the ED. RR said Resident #1 was admitted to the hospital where she
remained at the time of this interview. RR stated that Resident #1 was an emotional wreck and had trouble
recognizing RR for over 15 minutes, which was not normal for the resident. RR said Resident #1 has not
been the same since.
In an interview with MD, on November 1, 2024, at 12:03PM, MD confirmed he was employed with the
facility and took over Resident #1's care in September 2024. At the time MD assumed Resident #1's care,
she had been taking Tramadol 4 times a day for 1 year. Resident #1 complained to MD of constant pain and
stated that the Tramadol was no longer working. As a result, MD switched Resident #1 to Oxycontin 10mg 2
times a day as this medication was long-acting. This medication worked for the resident, but the resident's
insurance refused to cover the medication. MD said he was then forced to switch the resident to MS Contin
or Morphine.
A review of MD's records on November 1, 2024, of Resident #1's prescription for Morphine, revealed that
MD wrote the prescription on October 28, 2024, which stated, START Morphine ER 10mg PO Q 12hrs
scheduled #60 (sixty) tabs. MD said the first and only dose administered to Resident #1 was the overdose
of Morphine 100mg. MD stated that he learned of the mistake when the pharmacy contacted him on
October 30, 2024, to confirm his order. MD said the adverse effect of an overdose of this type would be
respiratory sedation.
In an interview with the DON on November 1, 2024, at 12:14PM, the DON stated that she was contacted by
the RPh in the morning of October 30, 2024, and informed that an order entry error had been made by the
pharmacy when filling Resident #1's Morphine prescription. RPh stated that instead of filling the
prescription as ordered (Morphine ER 10mg), the pharmacy mistakenly filled the prescription for Morphine
100mg. The RPh asked the DON if the medication had been administered. The DON stated that she would
check and let the RPh know. The DON reviewed Resident #1's medical record and found that Morphine
100mg had been administered to Resident #1 at 9:30AM by the CMA. The DON stated that she pulled the
medication from the cart and notified LVN #1 of the error and the need to monitor Resident #1's vital signs
every 30 minutes. The DON

stated that she notified the RPh, who created and sent the facility a plan of correction. The RPh confirmed
the facility had Narcan on hand. The DON then called the MD and the facility's Medical Director. The DON
stated that she attempted contact with RR 3 times that day and left RR a general message to return her
call. The DON stated Resident #1 did not experience any respiratory distress or any need for the use of
Narcan. The DON stated that Resident #1 did not display signs or symptoms that would warrant that she be
immediately sent to the ED. But the DON stated that staff did send Resident #1 to the ED upon RR's
request. At the time of her transfer to the ED, Resident #1 was alert and oriented x3 per the DON. The DON
stated that this had been the first time this medication was ordered for Resident #1. Resident #1 had been
taking Tramadol then Oxycodone for pain, both of which had been discontinued.
In an interview with the Administrator (ADM) on November 1, 2024, at 12:20PM, the ADM stated that RR
had been contacted, although they have no formal POA on file for RR. The ADM stated that the RR had
made an issue in the past of not being contacted so they had been doing so as a courtesy and while RR
provided the enacted POA for Resident #1. The ADM stated that upon learning of the incident, the facility
and staff took actions to remedy the mistake including in-service education. The CMA who administered the
medication was suspended as a part of their disciplinary action process. The ADM stated that the CMA is a
good employee, who has not committed a policy infraction of this sort in the past. The ADM confirmed that
the CMA had no complaints or issues of this type prior to her employment at this facility to her knowledge.
Review of the facility's personnel records for CMA on November 1, 2024, at 1:49PM revealed CMA had
been employed at the facility since approximately the end of May 2024, passed background checks, had an
active CMA certificate/registration, was not listed in the EMR, and had no prior disciplinary actions at this
facility.
Record review of the facility's communication with the pharmacy on October 30, 2024, at 4:25PM, revealed
the following record of events per RPh:
On 10/29/24 at 12:11pm we received a new prescription from MD for morphine 10mg ER tablets to be
given to [Resident #1] every 12 hours routinely. The order was typed by pharmacy technician VS and was
erroneously entered into the system as morphine 100mg ER rather than the 10mg ER that was prescribed .
[RPh #2] reviewed the data entry and did not catch the closing error. He approved the order for filling and
the medication was filled. [RPh #2] also reviewed the filled medication and did not catch the dosing error at
that time. The order was delivered to the facility last night as a partial fill of twenty-five tablets out of a total
of 60 that were ordered. This morning we received more of the morphine 100mg ER tablets in stock to
complete filling the order. It was filled for the remainder owed and [RPh#3] reviewed the filled product-at
that stage, the data entry error was caught and it was realized that the wrong strength had been sent last
night. I was notified of the situation within minutes and immediately called you to inform you of the error so
that steps could be taken to reduce any risk of harm to the patient .
In an interview with CMA on November 1, 2024, at 1:57PM, CMA stated that she saw Resident #1's
medication had been changed to Morphine. CMA said she looked at the MAR and it said Morphine 10mg.
CMA said she picked up the medication in preparation for administration and failed to see the medication
was Morphine 100mg, not Morphine 10mg. CMA said she administered the medication around 9AM and at
around 12PM the DON came and asked her if she had administered the medication. CMA told the DON
she had administered the medication. The CMA and the DON confirmed that the medication was for the
wrong dosage. CMA said she never observed Resident #1 suffering from any adverse effects from the

learning of her mistake, and noticed nothing out of the ordinary with regards to Resident #1's presentation
or behavior. After learning of her mistake, observation and assessments of Resident #1 were done. CMA
stated that Resident #1 never exhibited any reactions that would indicate life threatening effects of the
medication, including respiratory distress or shallow breathing, CMA took full responsibility for her mistake
and expressed remorse. CMA stated that she has never made a mistake like this before.

#1 was not administered Narcan as the resident did not display any signs or symptoms of respiratory
distress. It was stated by the DON that those signs and symptoms would have been apparent within 4
hours of the administration of the medication. Those signs and symptoms would have been respiratory
distress, sweating, hyperventilation, and disorientation. It was stated by DON that the resident was told

routine medications are administered by CMAs. PRN medications are administered by nurses and the initial
dose of a routine narcotic is typically administered by a nurse. CMA #2 stated that upon administering any
medication, she checks the resident's MAR, checks the medication label, and if she has questions about
the medication, she will ask a nurse before administering the medication. CMA #2 stated that if she noticed
any kind of adverse reaction or out of the ordinary response to a medication administered, she would notify
the nurse immediately.

Coordinator's office is right behind the nurses station on the south side of the building. On the day of the
incident, the MDS Coordinator observed Resident #1 after lunch at the nurses' desk talking to the nurses
and the aids. Resident #1 was standing and talking as usual and did not appear to be in any type of
distress. The MDS Coordinator also observed Resident #1 walking and had no concerns for the resident.
MDS Coordinator stated that she was surprised to hear the next day that the resident had been sent out to
the ED.
In an interview with SC on December 12, 2024, at 6:45 PM, it was stated that SC observed Resident #1
early the day of the incident and the resident's behavior was typical and not out of the ordinary. The resident
was observed walking, talking and interacting as normal, with no concerns noted.
In an interview with COTA on December 12, 2024, at 6:49 PM, it was stated that COTA did an entire
session with Resident #1 and the resident was her normal self. Friendly, talkative, no complaints of pain, or
complaints otherwise.
In an interview with MD #2 on December 16, 2024, at 3:30 PM, MD #2 stated that Resident #1 was sent
out to the ED as a safety precaution based on RR request, but not because MD #2 felt the resident was
unsafe or compromised . MD #2 said looking at the situation from the outside, a dose that high would
appear concerning. But he was very familiar with the resident and her history and background. MD #2 said
Resident #1 could tolerate a dose that high and it didn't really phase her. He said she suffered no adverse
reaction. MD #2 said Resident #1 had hypoxemia at baseline. He believes the resident was coded with
acute respiratory distress upon her admission to the hospital for billing purposes. MD #2 said from his
experience that it's likely the hospital's standard protocol is to admit to the ICU rather than the floor for
monitoring purposes only. He also thinks Resident #1's stay in the hospital was prolonged because the RR
was attempting to find a different placement following Resident #1's discharge from the hospital, which
probably took several days. MD #2 said he wished the resident hadn't been moved because he had cared
for her for some time and knew her and her conditions well. MD #2 said the facility staff responded to the
situation as directed and he has no concerns for the way the situation was handled. It was just an
unfortunate mistake.
Review of the facility's personnel records for CMA revealed CMA had been employed at the facility since
approximately the end of May 2024, passed background checks, had an active CMA certificate/registration,
was not listed in the EMR, and had no prior disciplinary actions at this facility.
Record review of the facility's policy and procedure dated July 2017, regarding Administration of
Medications revealed the following in part:
3.
Medications must be administered in accordance with the written orders of the attending physician;
11.
Prior to administering the resident's medication, the nurse or medication technician should compare
the drug and dosage schedule [don] the resident's MAR with the drug label. NOTE: If there is any
reason to question the dosage or the schedule, the nurse or med tech should check the physician's

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free of any significant
medication errors for 1 (Resident #1) of 6 residents reviewed for medication administration.
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #1 was administered Morphine 100mg ER instead of Morphine 10mg ER as ordered, which was
outside of physician parameters.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving the intended therapeutic benefit of their prescribed
medication, worsening or exacerbating chronic medical conditions, placing residents at risk for adverse
reactions that could be life threatening, and hospitalization.
The findings included:
An interview with the resident was attempted via telephone on November 1, 2024. The attempt was
unsuccessful as the resident did not answer or respond to the call.
Record review of Resident #1's admission record revealed the resident was an [AGE] year old female who
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included: unspecified dementia, unspecified
severity, with other behavioral disturbance, unspecified dementia, moderate, without behavioral
disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety, unspecified lack of coordination,
muscle weakness, difficulty walking, cognitive communication deficit, major depressive disorder, recurrent,
moderate, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia (a medical syndrome that causes chronic widespread
pain), acute kidney failure, chronic kidney disease, and systematic lupus erythematosus (superficial
reddening of the skin), organ or system involvement unspecified.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan, (with an initiation date of 05/21/2024) revealed in part:
Resident #1 was on pain medication therapy and had an intervention to administer medication as ordered,
monitor for altered mental status, anxiety, constipation, depression, dizziness, lack of appetite, nausea,
vomiting, pruritus (itchy skin), respiratory distress, sedation, and urinary retention. Observe for adverse
reactions with every interaction with the resident.
Resident #1 had acute/chronic pain related to fibromyalgia and lupus and had an intervention to anticipate
the need for pain relief and respond immediately to any complaint of pain and follow the pain scale to
medicate as ordered.
In an interview with Resident #1's RR on November 1, 2024, at 11:23AM, RR stated that she was
contacted by the facility on October 30, 2024, at 5:13PM, but missed their call. At 5:15PM on October 30,
2024, as RR was about to return the facility's call, RR's phone rang. The person on the other end was the
DON for the facility. RR stated that she had never spoken to the DON before. The DON informed RR that
the doctor had changed Resident #1's pain medication to Morphine yesterday (October 29, 2024) and that
Morphine had been administered that day (October 30, 2024). However, there had been a mistake with the
dose administered and Resident #1 was administered Morphine 100mg instead of Morphine 10mg.
According to RR, the DON was unsure what the Morphine was being administered for, but further explained
this was a pharmacy error although a facility CMA had administered the dose. The RR said that the DON
told the RR that they had Narcan on-hand if Resident #1 experienced respiratory distress or shallow
breathing, but further added that the Narcan would be of no benefit at that time as it

should have been administered immediately if it was going to be administered. The DON informed RR that
the resident was fine all day. The DON told RR that the resident did experience sleepiness and sweating,
but this was probably because the resident insisted that the window in her room be opened. The DON told
RR that they had been checking the resident's vitals signs every 30 minutes-1 hours. The RR insisted that
the resident be taken to the ED. The DON agreed. The RR called Resident #1 to check on the resident and
Resident #1 had not been told of the mistake with her medication. Resident #1 told RR that her head was
hurting, she had not been feeling right, but she could not get any help. RR then called the DON back to
make sure they were transporting the resident to the ED and the DON said she was filling out the
transfer/ED paperwork. RR said the DON again blamed the pharmacy for the mistake. RR called Resident
#1 once again and EMS had arrived to take the resident to the ED. RR said Resident #1 was admitted to
the hospital where she remained at the time of this interview. RR stated that Resident #1 was an emotional
wreck and had trouble recognizing RR for over 15 minutes, which was not normal for the resident. RR said
Resident #1 has not been the same since.
In an interview with MD, on November 1, 2024, at 12:03PM, MD confirmed he was employed with the
facility and took over Resident #1's care in September 2024. At the time MD assumed Resident #1's care,
she had been taking Tramadol 4 times a day for 1 year. Resident #1 complained to MD of constant pain and
stated that the Tramadol was no longer working. As a result, MD switched Resident #1 to Oxycontin 10mg 2
times a day as this medication was long-acting. This medication worked for the resident, but the resident's
insurance refused to cover the medication. MD said he was then forced to switch the resident to MS Contin
or Morphine.
A review of MD's records on November 1, 2024, of Resident #1's prescription for Morphine, revealed that
MD wrote the prescription on October 28, 2024, which stated, START Morphine ER 10mg PO Q 12hrs
scheduled #60 (sixty) tabs. MD said the first and only dose administered to Resident #1 was the overdose
of Morphine 100mg. MD stated that he learned of the mistake when the pharmacy contacted him on
October 30, 2024, to confirm his order. MD said the adverse effect of an overdose of this type would be
respiratory sedation.
In an interview with the DON on November 1, 2024, at 12:14PM, the DON stated that she was contacted by
the RPh in the morning of October 30, 2024, and informed that an order entry error had been made by the
pharmacy when filling Resident #1's Morphine prescription. RPh stated that instead of filling the
prescription as ordered (Morphine ER 10mg), the pharmacy mistakenly filled the prescription for Morphine
100mg. The RPh asked the DON if the medication had been administered. The DON stated that she would
check and let the RPh know. The DON reviewed Resident #1's medical record and found that Morphine
100mg had been administered to Resident #1 at 9:30AM by the CMA. The DON stated that she pulled the
medication from the cart and notified LVN #1 of the error and the need to monitor Resident #1's vital signs
every 30 minutes. The DON stated that she notified the RPh, who created and sent the facility a plan of
correction. The RPh confirmed the facility had Narcan on hand. The DON then called the MD and the
facility's Medical Director. The DON stated that she attempted contact with RR 3 times that day and left RR
a general message to return her call. The DON stated Resident #1 did not experience any respiratory
distress or any need for the use of Narcan. The DON stated that Resident #1 did not display signs or
symptoms that would warrant that she be immediately sent to the ED. But the DON stated that staff did
send Resident #1 to the ED upon RR's request. At the time of her transfer to the ED, Resident #1 was alert
and oriented x3 per the DON. The DON stated that this had been the first time this medication was ordered
for Resident #1. Resident #1 had been taking Tramadol then Oxycodone for pain, both of which had been
discontinued.
In an interview with the Administrator (ADM) on November 1, 2024, at 12:20PM, the ADM stated that

RR had been contacted, although they have no formal POA on file for RR. The ADM stated that the RR had
made an issue in the past of not being contacted so they had been doing so as a courtesy and while RR
provided the enacted POA for Resident #1. The ADM stated that upon learning of the incident, the facility
and staff took actions to remedy the mistake including in-service education. The CMA who administered the
medication was suspended as a part of their disciplinary action process. The ADM stated that the CMA is a
good employee, who has not committed a policy infraction of this sort in the past. The ADM confirmed that
the CMA had no complaints or issues of this type prior to her employment at this facility to her knowledge.
Review of the facility's personnel records for CMA on November 1, 2024, at 1:49PM revealed CMA had
been employed at the facility since approximately the end of May 2024, passed background checks, had an
active CMA certificate/registration, was not listed in the EMR, and had no prior disciplinary actions at this
facility.
Record review of the facility's communication with the pharmacy on October 30, 2024, at 4:25PM, revealed
the following record of events per RPh:
On 10/29/24 at 12:11pm we received a new prescription from MD for morphine 10mg ER tablets to be
given to [Resident #1] every 12 hours routinely. The order was typed by pharmacy technician VS and was
erroneously entered into the system as morphine 100mg ER rather than the 10mg ER that was prescribed .
[RPh #2] reviewed the data entry and did not catch the closing error. He approved the order for filling and
the medication was filled. [RPh #2] also reviewed the filled medication and did not catch the dosing error at
that time. The order was delivered to the facility last night as a partial fill of twenty-five tablets out of a total
of 60 that were ordered. This morning we received more of the morphine 100mg ER tablets in stock to
complete filling the order. It was filled for the remainder owed and [RPh#3] reviewed the filled product-at
that stage, the data entry error was caught and it was realized that the wrong strength had been sent last
night. I was notified of the situation within minutes and immediately called you to inform you of the error so
that steps could be taken to reduce any risk of harm to the patient .
In an interview with CMA on November 1, 2024, at 1:57PM, CMA stated that she saw Resident #1's
medication had been changed to Morphine. CMA said she looked at the MAR and it said Morphine 10mg.
CMA said she picked up the medication in preparation for administration and failed to see the medication
was Morphine 100mg, not Morphine 10mg. CMA said she administered the medication around 9AM and at
around 12PM the DON came and asked her if she had administered the medication. CMA told the DON
she had administered the medication. The CMA and the DON confirmed that the medication was for the
wrong dosage. CMA said she never observed Resident #1 suffering from any adverse effects from the
medication. CMA stated that she observed Resident #1 several times after giving the medication, but before
learning of her mistake, and noticed nothing out of the ordinary with regards to Resident #1's presentation
or behavior. After learning of her mistake, observation and assessments of Resident #1 were done. CMA
stated that Resident #1 never exhibited any reactions that would indicate life threatening effects of the
medication, including respiratory distress or shallow breathing, CMA took full responsibility for her mistake
and expressed remorse. CMA stated that she has never made a mistake like this before.
Record review of Resident #1's medical record progress notes revealed the following:

DON stated that if Resident #1 had exhibited a significant change in her condition, the resident would have
been sent out to the ED immediately. DON stated that CMAs can administer routine narcotics if a nurse
signs off on the administration. DON stated PRN medications are given by nurses. DON stated that the
administration of an initial dose of narcotics by a CMA is allowed with the oversight of a nurse.
In an interview with the ADM on December 12, 2024, at approximately 2:30pm, it was stated that the facility
has implemented no policy and procedure changes regarding medication administration, receipt of
narcotics, or transfer/discharging of residents (sending residents out to the ED).

administer the medication or get education or clarification on the medication. CMA #2 stated that only
routine medications are administered by CMAs. PRN medications are administered by nurses and the initial
dose of a routine narcotic is typically administered by a nurse. CMA #2 stated that upon administering any
medication, she checks the resident's MAR, checks the medication label, and if she has questions about
the medication, she will ask a nurse before administering the medication. CMA #2 stated that if she noticed
any kind of adverse reaction or out of the ordinary response to a medication administered, she would notify
the nurse immediately.
In an interview with MDS Coordinator on December 12, 2024, at 6:42 PM, it was stated that the MDS
Coordinator's office is right behind the nurses station on the south side of the building. On the day of the

complaints otherwise.

In an interview with MD #2 on December 16, 2024, at 3:30 PM, MD #2 stated that Resident #1 was sent
out to the ED as a safety precaution based on RR request, but not because MD #2 felt the resident was
unsafe or compromised . MD #2 said looking at the situation from the outside, a dose that high would
appear concerning. But he was very familiar with the resident and her history and background. MD #2 said
Resident #1 could tolerate a dose that high and it didn't really phase her. He said she suffered no adverse
reaction. MD #2 said Resident #1 had hypoxemia at baseline. He believes the resident was coded with
acute respiratory distress upon her admission to the hospital for billing purposes. MD #2 said from his
experience that it's likely the hospital's standard protocol is to admit to the ICU rather than the floor for
monitoring purposes only. He also thinks Resident #1's stay in the hospital was prolonged because the RR
was attempting to find a different placement following Resident #1's discharge from the hospital, which
probably took several days. MD #2 said he wished the resident hadn't been moved because he had cared
for her for some time and knew her and her conditions well. MD #2 said the facility staff responded to the
situation as directed and he has no concerns for the way the situation was handled. It was just an
unfortunate mistake.
Review of the facility's personnel records for CMA revealed CMA had been employed at the facility since
approximately the end of May 2024, passed background checks, had an active CMA certificate/registration,
was not listed in the EMR, and had no prior disciplinary actions at this facility.
Record review of the facility's policy and procedure dated July 2017, regarding Administration of
Medications revealed the following in part:
3.
Medications must be administered in accordance with the written orders of the attending physician;
11.
Prior to administering the resident's medication, the nurse or medication technician should compare
the drug and dosage schedule [don] the resident's MAR with the drug label. NOTE: If there is any
reason to question the dosage or the schedule, the nurse or med tech should check the physician's
orders.
