Findings includes: Resident #2's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] identified a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating intact cognition.
The MDS included diagnoses of hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, bacteremia (blood stream infection), chronic respiratory failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).The Clinical Census revealed Resident #2 was admitted on [DATE] for a Medicare Part A stay.The August Medication Administration Record (MAR) directed staff to administer Daptomycin 830 mg (milligrams) (a powerful antibiotic used to treat serious infections caused by gram positive bacteria) intravenously (giving medication into a vein) one time a day for bacteremia until 9/26/25.

In addition, the discharge report lacked physician orders or directions for the Magnesium Oxide medication.The Clinical Record lacked clarification orders on admission for the Magnesium Oxide and Atorvastatin medications.Review of Resident #2's MAR from 8/22/25 to 10/8/25 revealed the Magnesium Oxide medication was not administered and the Atorvastatin was not restarted after the Daptomycin was completed on 9/26/25.
