Summary
Facility staff failed to document the administration of Narcan (naloxone) in the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for a resident who was found to be lethargic and subsequently received the medication. The administration of Narcan was only recorded in the resident's progress note by a registered nurse, with no corresponding entry in the MAR. During interviews, both a registered nurse and the Director of Nursing confirmed that such medication administration should be documented in both the MAR and the progress note, and acknowledged the omission.
