2433	STARR FARM NURSING CENTER	475030	98 STARR FARM RD	BURLINGTON	VT	5408	2010-11-17	282	D			WEOZ11	NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on medical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to meet the requirement to implement the care plan for 1 resident (Resident #1) in the applicable sample. The findings include: Per medical record review on 11/16/2010 at noon, the care plan for Resident #1 stated that redirection for aberrant behaviors be attempted by the staff prior to the use of an anti-anxiety medication. Per review of staff documentation, on 08/31/2010 at 23:30 hours and on 09/01/2010 at 03:45 hours, Resident #1 received [MEDICATION NAME] without evidence that redirection was attempted prior to the medication being given. On 09/09/2010, the Nurses' Notes reflect that the resident is compliant after redirection and there was no medication needed to be given at that time. This discrepancy in care plan implementation was confirmed by the DNS (Director of Nursing Services) during interview on 11/16/2010 at 2:41 PM.	2014-03-01
