- Summary
- A nursing home's noncompliance with the administration of nutritional and dietary supplements should not be included in the calculation of the facility's medication error rate at F332 or as a significant medication error at F333. We expect that the nursing home staff, along with the prescriber and consulting pharmacist, are aware of, review for, and document any potential adverse consequences between medications, nutritional supplements, and dietary supplements that a resident is receiving.
