Summary
A cognitively impaired resident who required partial to moderate assistance and received routine pain medication was admitted with a physician's order for 500 mg of Naproxen to be administered twice daily with meals. Review of the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for August 2025 showed that the Naproxen was not documented as given on several specified dates and times. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the resident did not receive the ordered Naproxen doses on those occasions, despite the medication being available as a stock item in the emergency box and as an over-the-counter medication.
