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
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary
pharmacy services for two of two sampled residents (Residents 1 and 2) when Residents 1 and 2's
controlled drug records and MARs were not maintained to ensure the accuracy reconciliation of the
narcotic pain medications.
* Resident 1's oxycodone HCl (narcotic pain medication) Individual Drug Record sheet did not match
Resident 1's MAR. The oxycodone HCL was removed from the bubble pack for several occasions without
documentation of the medication administration in the MAR.
* Resident 2's hydrocodone-acetaminophen (narcotic pain medication) Individual Drug Record sheet did
not match Resident 2's MAR. The hydrocodone-acetaminophen medication was removed from the bubble
pack for several occasions without documentation of the medication administration in the MAR.
These failures posed the for risk of diversion of the controlled medications.

According to the facility's P&P titled Preparation and General Guidelines for Controlled Medications dated
8/2014 showed when a controlled medication is administered, the licensed nurse administering the
medication immediately enters the following information on the accountability record and the medication
administration record (MAR):
a. Date and time of administration;
b. Amount administered;
c. Signature of the nurse administering the dose on the accountability record at the time the medication is
removed from the supply; and
d. Initials of the nurse administering the dose on the MAR after the medication is administered.
1. Review of Resident 1's medical record was initiated on 3/7/24. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report dated 1/30/24, showed a physician's order dated 12/29/23,
to administer oxycodone HCl 10 mg by mouth every four hours as needed for severe pain.
