This was true for two (2) of five (5) residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. The physician did not respond to a pharmacist's recommendation for Resident #9 for over two (2) months. For Resident #45, the resident continued to receive the medication Reglan nearly three (3) months after it should have been discontinued. Resident identifiers: #9 and #45. Facility census: 116. Findings include: a) Resident #9 Review of a pharmacist's consultation report dated 02/09/17 revealed a recommendation to the physician to re-evaluate the continued use of Clonazepam (a psychoactive medication) at the current dose of 0.5 mg (milligrams) at bedtime. The physician responded to this recommendation on 04/13/17, which was 64 days from the initial recommendation. On 05/31/17 at 1:36 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) agreed the physician's response to the pharmacist's recommendation was not timely. b) Resident #45 A pharmacist review dated 02/09/17 identified Resident #45 received Reglan 5 mg every 8 hours and was also taking Protonix 40 mg daily with both medications being for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The pharmacist's recommendation was to consider tapering the Reglan while continuing the Protonix. The physician accepted the recommendation with a modification of discontinuing the Reglan on 02/25/17. Review of the Medication Administration Record [REDACTED]. On 05/31/17 at 1:36 p.m., the DON agreed the resident continued to receive Reglan after the physician noted to discontinue the medication on 02/25/17. | 2020-09-01 |
