Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to properly store a medication when Protonix (a medication which works by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach makes) was on top of the medication cart unattended. This failure placed demented residents in the area at risk of ingestion and subjected medication to theft or loss. Findings: During an observation on 3/21/23, at 10:40 a.m., medication Protonix was in a box sitting on top of the unsupervised medication cart. During an interview on 3/21/23, at 10:42 a.m., with Charge Nurse 1 (CN 1), CN 1 stated the medication should have been stored inside the locked medication cart. During an interview on 3/21/23, at 10:50 a.m., with the Director of Nurses (DON), the DON stated the medication should not have been sitting on top of the medication cart unsupervised and should have been securely locked inside the medication cart. During an interview on 3/21/23 at 1 p.m., the Administrator (Admin) stated the expectation is that all medications are locked up inside the medication cart. The facility ' s Medication Storage Policy & Procedure was requested but was not given to this writer.
