Inspection Findings
Resident #1 slept better.
She reported the clonazepam medication was a little more sedating and lasted longer than the lorazepam medication.
When asked if there could be any negative effects from receiving the lorazepam instead of the clonazepam, she said Resident #1 morning anxiety and difficulty sleeping at night may have contributed to her receiving a shorter acting benzodiazepine versus a long acting benzodiazepine.
She said Resident #1's daughter had reported her mom was more anxious and not sleeping well at night during that time frame. A facility policy titled Medication Administration reviewed 7/9/25 documented accepted professional standards for drug administration included: Right Drug, Right Patient, Right Time, Right Dose and Right Route.
