Observation of LVN #1 on 3/8/2023 at 7:56am revealed she looked at Resident #7's MAR and did not administer the potassium because she said she could not crush the medication so she would have to call hospice for an order.

She said she called hospice on Sunday 3/5/23 for a new order, and she had not heard back from them.
