The hospital physician stated that AV's medical evaluation determined AV tested positive for recreational drug use and AV's symptoms were due to recreational drugs not mixing well with AV's multiple prescriptions. Based on facility documentation and interviews, the facility failed to implement interventions and appropriately care plan related to AV's alcohol consumption and narcotic use while taking numerous medications, and the facility failed to provide timely safety checks as noted in AV's care plan.
