Allegation of False Documentation
At the time of the initial incident, she was employed as an LVN at a hospital in Fort Hood, Texas, and had been in that position for four (4) months.
On or about June 2, 2020, and June 4, 2020, while employed as an LVN at a hospital in Fort Hood, Texas, LVN falsely documented in the medication administration record (MAR) and nursing notes for the patient that she administered Zofran to the patient, thirty minutes before she administered Flagyl to the patient. LVN’s conduct was deceptive, created an inaccurate medical record, and deprived the patient of nausea relief.
In response, LVN admits there was a missed dose of Zofran and Flagyl to the patient and stated she received verbal counseling for it.
The Texas Board of Nursing found the LVN guilty of her actions. Consequently, her LVN license was subjected to disciplinary action. She did not hire a skilled nurse attorney to fully defend her case, which contributed to the Board’s decision.
