Summary
A review of records for one resident revealed that the facility failed to provide an accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment. Specifically, the quarterly MDS assessment did not indicate the use of an antianxiety medication, Buspar, in the section related to medications. This omission was confirmed by the Director of Nursing (DON) during an interview after being notified of the discrepancy. The deficiency was identified during a review of five residents under unnecessary medications, with the facility census at 56 residents at the time.
