The list lacked documentation for infection signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests/ laboratory tests results, precaution and outbreak potential. During an interview on 03/30/2026 from 11:35 AM to 12:03PM, the Infection Control Preventionist stated they monitored and made rounds on residents with infections, monitored residents admitted with infections and on antibiotic therapy. They initiated and used the line list for surveillance, did diagnostic testing when a resident had symptoms, and were responsible for conducting staff education on infection control.

Resident #3 had received the antidepressant (Lexapro 10 mg) from 9/4/2024 to 9/16/2024. Resident #3 also received the anti-psychotic (Seroquel 50 daily at bedtime) from 9/5/2024 to 9/16/2024; (2) Resident #8 who was receiving an antipsychotic (Seroquel 25mg x2 daily) had a psychiatry consult on 9/4/2024 and was ordered for their antipsychotic to change to Seroquel 50 mg daily at bedtime.

Registered Nurse #1 stated they went back and checked the medication list and called Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #1(the prescriber) and they stated the medications were ordered in error. Registered Nurse #1 stated they discontinued the medications immediately, assessed Resident #3 and the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #1 followed up with Resident #3 and their representative after discharge. Registered Nurse #1 stated the Director of Nursing #2 was informed about the medication error and a house wide in-service was completed on medication errors and Registered Nurse #7, who transcribed the order received disciplinary action. During a telephone interview on 4/15/2025 at 2:16 PM, the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #1 stated the recommendation for the Lexapro and Seroquel were intended for Resident #8, but the medications were ordered for Resident #3. Resident #3 received the medications for 12 days.

The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #1 stated their first interaction with Resident #3 was on 8/28/2024, and their last interaction was a home visit in the community on 9/18/2024. The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #1 stated they did not consult Resident #3 during their facility rounds on 9/4/2024. The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #1 stated Resident #8 also did not have any adverse effects from the recommended changes not being reflected in their medication profile. All recommended medication changes and additions were started as soon as the error was identified. The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #1 stated currently they write a brief synopsis of the visit and recommendation. The unit nurse and the nursing supervisor signs off on the consultation and then it goes to the Director of Nursing #1. This provides a triple check to avoid errors. The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #1 stated the changes in the process came about due to the medication error incident that was discovered on 9/16/2024. During a telephone on 4/15/2025 at 2:25 PM, Registered Nurse #7 stated they remember the medication error incident that was discovered on 9/16/2024. Registered Nurse #7 stated there was another resident that had the same last name as Resident #3 and they were taking a verbal order over the phone for new medications after the psychiatry consults were completed. Registered Nurse #7 stated they received the verbal orders from the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and hand wrote the orders on paper, then went into the electronic medical record and entered the orders, because there were a couple of other residents, they had to enter orders for. Registered Nurse #7 stated they wrote down the last name of the resident, but they did not realize there were two residents with the same name because they were not in the facility regularly. Registered Nurse #7 stated it was extremely busy that afternoon and they had admissions. Registered Nurse #7 stated they got written up for the incident and disciplined for the error, and this was the first time something like that happened to them. They were devastated. Registered Nurse #7 stated they transcribed these types of verbal orders on Wednesdays all the time and had not experienced any errors in the past until the incident. During a telephone interview on 4/17/2025 at 9:13 AM, the Director of Nursing #2 stated on 9/16/2024, they recall there was a medication error discovered, related to 2 residents with similar names. The Director of Nursing #2 stated usually the list of residents provided by the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #1 identifies the residents by last name and first name. The Director of Nursing #2 stated on this occasion there was probably a verbal order provided for the nursing supervisor the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #1 and Registered Nurse #7 made an error and input the medication orders on the wrong resident. The Director of Nursing #2 stated they think when Registered Nurse #7 entered Resident #8's name into the electronic medical record system, Resident#3's name popped up and they entered the medication into Resident #3's medical chart in error. This was an honest mistake and an isolated incident. The Director of Nursing #2 stated they completed an audit of the charts for residents receiving psychotropic medications in the facility. The Director of Nursing #2 stated they cannot recall if they noted the discrepancies in Resident #8's medication orders when they conducted the chart audit. The Director of Nursing #2 stated if they had recognized a discrepancy in Resident #8's medication orders, they would have investigated the issue, but they could not recall the details of what occurred at that time. The Director of Nursing #2 stated this would have been a medication error if they had noticed any discrepancies in Resident #8's chart. 10 NYCRR 415.12(m)(2)
