Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility nursing staff failed to follow professional
standards when one licensed nurse gave a dose of one of four sampled residents, Resident 1's,
prescription medications to a staff member who was experiencing symptoms of anxiety. This failure resulted
in the potential misuse of Resident 1's medication when the nurse, who was entrusted with full access to
the medication cart, gave the medication to someone to whom it was not prescribed, and resulted in the
loss of a dose of Resident 1's medication when the dose was thrown away.During an observation on 8/6/25
at 9:45 a.m., two medication carts were parked next to the nurses' station. Two security cameras were
noted mounted on the ceiling pointed at the nurses' station.During an interview on 8/6/25 at 11:29 a.m.,
Licensed Staff B stated nurses were not allowed to give medications to staff from the medication cart
because the medications belonged to the residents, staff did not have a doctor's order for the medications,
and the nurses did not know whether the staff members might have any side effects to the
medications.During a phone interview on 8/6/25 at 1:44 p.m., Unlicensed Staff A verified a nurse gave her
a medication from the medication cart for anxiety. Unlicensed Staff A stated the nurse was Licensed Staff
B. Unlicensed Staff A stated she told Licensed Staff B that she was having anxiety and Licensed Staff B
told her, I can give you something for that and Licensed Staff B reached into the medication cart and pulled
out a medication. Unlicensed Staff A stated she took the medication from Licensed Staff B and threw it
away in the hopper (a sink with a flushing mechanism designed for safe and hygienic disposal of clinical
waste like the contents of bedpans) because she did not know what it was going to do to her.During an
interview on 8/6/25 at 2 p.m. with Administrator and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Administrator
stated that she was sitting in her office watching the security cameras when she saw Licensed Staff B hand
Unlicensed Staff A a pill cup at the Station 1 cart. Administrator stated she told ADON what she saw and
asked ADON to go investigate. ADON stated she approached Licensed Staff B and Unlicensed Staff A at
the medication cart and asked them to explain what was happening. ADON stated Licensed Staff B told her
Unlicensed Staff A was not feeling good, so she gave her a dose of propranolol (a prescription medication
for high blood pressure, chest pain, and irregular heart beat). ADON stated Licensed Staff B pulled a
bubble pack of propranolol out of the medication cart to show ADON what she had given to Unlicensed
Staff A. ADON stated she told Licensed Staff B that at no time should she give medications to staff off the
cart. Administrator stated Licensed Staff B was written up (disciplinary action) for giving the medication to
Unlicensed Staff A.During an interview on 8/6/25 at 2:25 p.m., Licensed Staff B verified she gave
propranolol from the medication cart to a staff member who was having anxiety. During an observation and
concurrent interview on 8/6/25 at 2:40 p.m., ADON opened the drawer to one of the medication carts at
Station 1 and pulled out a bubble pack of propranolol 40 mg (milligrams) tablets labeled for Resident 1.
ADON stated the tablet of propranolol that Licensed Staff B gave to Unlicensed Staff A belonged to
Resident 1.Review of Resident 1's facesheet indicated an admission date of 11/11/19.
