SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
medication if systolic blood pressure was less than 150 and started Resident #113 on Midodrine HCL 5mg a day for the orthostatic hypotension.
She explained she had not seen Resident #113's July 2025, August 2025 or September 2025 Medication Administration Records that indicated the blood pressure medication was given when a blood pressure was recorded less than 150.
She explained Midodrine HCL was medication that Resident #113 received daily to elevate Resident #113's blood pressure and therefore, when Coreg was administered when Resident #113's systolic blood pressure was less than 150mmHg, Resident #113's blood pressure was able to remain in the normal range for blood pressures.
