Based on review of facility policy and clinical record reviews, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that physician's orders regarding medication administration were followed for one of seven residents reviewed (Resident 2). Findings include: The facility policy for medication administration dated July 10, 2025, indicated that medications are administered by licensed nurses, or other staff that are legally authorized to do so in this state, as ordered by the physician and in accordance with professional standards of practice. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 2, dated June 24, 2025, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, required assistance with personal care needs, and had diagnoses that included heart failure.

A nurse's note for Resident 2 dated March 6, 2025, revealed that the physician was in the facility, reviewed the resident's medications, and gave orders to decrease the resident's Metoprolol to 25 mg daily. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident 2 revealed that the resident did not receive the 25 mg of Metoprolol Succinate daily between March 7, 2025 and July 28, 2025. Physician's orders for Resident 2, dated July 28, 2025, included an order for the resident to receive 25 mg of Metoprolol Succinate every day for hypertension (high blood pressure).

Interview with Nursing Home Administrator on August 19, 2025, at 9:46 p.m. confirmed that Resident 2's order for 50 mg of Metoprolol was decreased to 25 mg daily on March 6, 2025; however the new order was never added to the MAR and the resident did not receive any Metoprolol Succinate between March 7 and July 28, 2025. 28 Pa.
