Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that pharmacy services were maintained when:1. Controlled drug (medication that may be abused or cause addiction) record form for Resident 63 was not signed immediately after medication administration, and;2. LN did not follow the correct dilution protocol for the intravenous (IV antibiotic for Resident 61). These failures resulted in Resident 61 not receiving the correct dose of IV antibiotic and had the potential to result in diversion of the resident's medication.Findings:1. During an inspection of medication cart 400 Even with Licensed Nurse (LN) 5 on 12/3/25 at 1:31 p.m., a controlled drug count for Resident 63's hydrocodone acetaminophen (pain medication) 5/325 milligram (mg-unit of measurement) was not accurate.

During a review of Resident 61's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 61 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included endocarditis (infection of the heart's inner lining, chambers or valves) and severe sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection)During a review of Resident 61's Order Summary Report (OSR), the OSR indicated Resident 61 had an order for ceftriaxone sodium (an antibiotic) 2 gm (gram-a unit of measurement) reconstituted IV solution every 12 hours from 11/17/25 to 11/26/25, and a separate one-time order for ceftriaxone sodium 1 gm reconstituted IV solution on 11/21/25.During a telephone interview on 12/5/25 at 10:38 a.m. with LN 8, LN 8 stated that on 11/21/25 she had not taken the ceftriaxone sodium vial from the emergency kit. Instead, another nurse had provided her with a 2 gm vial of ceftriaxone for administration. LN 8 stated upon reviewing the Medication Administration Record (MAR-a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident), she saw that the order was for 1 gm but confirmed she had not replaced the vial with a 1 gm vial. LN 8 stated she had reconstituted the 2 gm vial by injecting 10 mL (milliliters-unit of measurement) of normal saline into it, withdrew 5 mL from the vial and discarded it, then injected the remaining 5 mL into the IV bag. LN 8 stated she had administered the IV bag after this preparation.During an interview on 12/5/25 at 10:52 a.m. with DON, DON stated if there were no instructions on how to prepare an IV antibiotic, the LN was expected to contact the pharmacist for guidance.During a telephone interview on 12/5/25 at 11:19 a.m. with IV Department Pharmacist (IVDP) of the facility's pharmacy vendor, the IVDP stated, they have never used a 2 gm vial of ceftriaxone sodium to administer a 1 gm dose, as the emergency kit typically contained 1 gm vials, which was their standard protocol. The IVDP stated that, based on the information available to her, to prepare a 1 gm dose from a 2 gm vial, the 2 gm vial should be reconstituted with 19.2 mL of normal saline, and then 10 mL should be withdrawn and injected into a 50 mL normal saline bag for administration. The IVDP confirmed that LN 8 did not administer the accurate 1 gm dose because the reconstitution process
