F 0755 Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility: Residents Affected - Few 1. Did not ensure prescribed medication for Resident 1 was available on the scheduled administration time on 3/18/25 at 4:00 PM, and 3/19/25 at 12:00 AM and 8:00AM. 2. Did not properly account for the receipt of the controlled medication (drugs or substances that are regulated by the government due to their potential for abuse and addiction) (diazepam- a controlled substance to treat anxiety, muscle spasms, and seizures) for Resident 1. These failures resulted in the potential for reduced effectiveness to prevent a worsening of symptoms or flare-ups of muscle spasms or increased physical discomfort related to complex regional pain syndrome or potentially leading to anxiety or mood swings. Improper accounting practices during the receipt of this controlled medication compromises the facility's ability to maintain adequate medication availability and meet the resident's needs. Findings: 1. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/19/25 at 1:35 PM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN1) of Resident 1's medication administration record (MAR) dated March 1-31, 2025, was reviewed. MAR indicated , Valium (Diazepam) oral tablet 5mg give 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours for muscle spasms related to complex regional pain syndrome, and the nursing/MAR notes dated 3/18/25 at 5:14 PM, 3/19/25 at 12:22 AM, 3/19/25 at 8:00AM, and 3/19/25 at 3:56 PM, were reviewed. Resident 1's March MAR and March 18-19, 2025 Nursing Notes indicated 3 doses (3/18/25 at 4:00 PM, 3/19/25 12:00 AM, and 3/19/25 at 8:00AM) of diazepam were not given. Both the ADON and LVN1 stated the resident's last dose of diazepam was given on 3/18/25 at 8:00 AM, and Resident 1 missed the next 3 doses due to no inventory. During an interview on 3/19/25 at 3:40 PM with LVN2, LVN2 stated the day nurse endorsed to him that there was no diazepam for Resident 1's 4:00 PM dose, and pharmacy had been called. LVN2 stated he notified the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) who was close by and he filled an order for 60 tabs which was faxed to pharmacy 3/18/25 at 3:50 PM. LVN2 stated he did not document a nursing note at the time he notified FNP of no supply, but when told by ADON to make a late entry of this, he complied. LVN2 admitted this was an error stating if it's not documented, it wasn't done, and I will do better next time. During an interview on 3/19/25 at 4:10 PM with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated Resident 1 missed 3 doses of diazepam 5mg due to no supply.
