Based on record review and interview, the manager failed to ensure that medications were administered in compliance with a medication order and failed to accurately document the administration of medications in the medical records, for two of two sampled residents who received medication administration services. The deficient practice posed a risk to residents if medications were not administered according to the medication orders and if the documentation of medication administration was inaccurate.
