Resident R4 said, the nurse gave me these medications over an hour ago. Surveyor asked what they were. Surveyor wanted the names of
the pills. Resident R4 couldn't tell me. Resident R4 left the pills with the surveyor, then left. 8/7/25 at 12:30 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said, staff should not leave medications at the bedside. Staff should explain what the medications are for and what the names of the medications are.8/8/25 at 11:27 AM, V3 (Registered Nurse) said, I prepared Resident R4's medications and brought them to him. He asked what they were for. I had an emergency (a resident fell), and I ran out of Resident R4's room to tend to the other resident. It slipped my mind that I needed to go back to Resident R4. I never should leave medications at the bedside. I have to see the resident take the medication.
Another resident could come along and take Resident R4's medication.Medication Administration policy (Reviewed 1.2024) documents in part, 21. Remain with the resident to ensure that the resident swallows the medication.
