At the time of the initial incident, an LVN was employed as a Licensed Vocational Nurse at a hospital in San Benito, Texas, and had been in that position for four (4) months.
On or about June 2, 2019, and June 4, 2019, while employed as a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), the 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. The LVN’s conduct was deceptive, created an inaccurate medical record, and deprived the patient of nausea relief.
In response, the LVN admits there was a missed dose of Zofran and Flagyl to the patient and states she received verbal counseling for it.
