Haven of Scottsdale: Care Quality Deficiency - AZ
The medication was Tyvaso DPI, used to treat pulmonary hypertension. The resident's family had brought a box to the facility. At 9:26 p.m. that day, after the 8:00 a.m., noon, and 8:00 p.m. doses had all been skipped, a nurse finally called the pharmacy to report the medication wasn't available.
It was available. It had been there the whole time.
A Licensed Practical Nurse interviewed by inspectors on November 5 said she had no idea families were ever allowed to supply medications. Everything, she said, came through the pharmacy. She was unaware the Tyvaso DPI had been brought in by the resident's family and never ordered through a pharmacist at all.
The Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that the family had delivered the medication and that the facility had never placed a pharmacy order for it. She also described a separate problem: nurses were confused about the correct dosage. A titration had started in September, but the October titration ran into trouble, and staff weren't clear on how much to administer. Because of that confusion, the ADON said, she hadn't asked the family to bring a second box, since the first one hadn't been finished.
When inspectors asked her to explain why the three missed doses were logged as "on order" in the medication administration record, the ADON said she didn't know.
The nurse who called the pharmacy that night documented the doses as missed because the medication wasn't available. The medication was in the facility's storage. No one had connected those two facts until federal inspectors arrived a month later.
