or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of four sampled
residents (Resident1) was free from the unnecessary medications.
Residents Affected - Few
* Resident 1 was administered Ozempic (medication used to manage type 2 diabetes) one mg
subcutaneously (beneath the skin) for DM. However, Resident 1 had no diagnosis of DM. In addition, the
facility failed to ensure Resident 1's plan of care addressed the use of the Ozempic medication and
monitored the side effects of the medication.
* Resident 1 was administered oxycodone (used to relieve severe pain) 10 mg medication when Resident
1's pain level was below the parameters ordered for the medication.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary
pharmacy services to ensure the proper safe storage of drugs for one of four sampled residents (Resident
2).
* LVN 1 left a medication inside a clear cup unattended on Resident 2's bedside table. This failure posed
the risk of other residents, visitors or unauthorized facility staff gaining access to the medication.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Administration revised 4/2025 showed it is the policy of the
facility that medications for residents be administrated in a safe manner. For residents not in their rooms or
otherwise unavailable to receive medication on the pass, the nurse will continue the medication pass and
return later. After completing the medication pass, the nurse will return to the missed resident to administer
the medication.
On 5/7/25 at 0830 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 1 at Resident
2's bedside. A white tablet inside an unlabeled clear cup was observed on top of Resident 2's bedside
table. LVN 1 was then observed entering Resident 2's room to administer his medications. LVN 1 verified
the white tablet inside the unlabeled clear cup on Resident 2's bedside table. LVN 1 stated the medication
should not have been left on the resident's bedside table. Furthermore, LVN 1 stated the resident could not
administer the medication himself and she should have taken the medication back and administered it
when Resident 2 was ready.
On 5/8/25 at 1250 hours, an interview was conducted with the ADON. The ADON was informed of the
above findings. The ADON stated the medication should not have been left on the resident's bedside table.
If the licensed nurse was unable to administer the medication, the licensed nurse should come back when
the resident was ready and administer the medication.
