22VAC40-73-680-I
Based on a review of the resident record as well as staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure that the Medication Administration Record (MAR) shall include the initials of direct care staff administering the medication.
Evidence
  1. The first staff who administered the 8:00 p.m. dosage of Gabapentin to Resident # 1 did not document it on the MAR and the medication was administered to the resident a second time by the evening nurse.
Plan of correction
The facility will re-educate the nurses on medication administration and documentation. The facility Wellness Director (and/or appropriate designee) will ensure that the re-education is conducted monthly for three consecutive months. The Executive Director (and/or appropriate designee) will schedule the re-education on monthly basis and ensure the re-education is completed for three consecutive months.
22VAC40-73-680-D
Based on a self-report received from the facility as well staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure that medications shall be administered in accordance with the physician's or other prescriber’s instructions.
Evidence
  1. Per the facility’s self-report and staff interviews, on 1-12-25 the nurse administered Gabapentin 300 mg to Resident # 1 prior to 8:00 p.m. The physician’s order for Resident # 1 as of 11-7-24 states: “Gabapentin 300 mg Take 1 capsule by mouth twice daily for pain 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. However, the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for January 2025 did not match the physician’s order as the MAR states, “Gabapentin 300 mg Take 2 capsules (600 mg) by mouth twice daily for pain.” The staff member did not document that the medication was administered on the electronic MAR and another nurse therefore administered the same medication to the resident and documented it on the MAR for the 8:00 p.m dosage.
Plan of correction
The facility re-educated the staff on medication administration and medication rights. The facility Wellness Director (and/or appropriate designee) will ensure that the re-education is conducted monthly for three consecutive months. The Executive Director (and/or appropriate designee) will schedule the re-education on monthly basis and ensure the re-education is completed for three consecutive months.
