Protect each resident from the wrongful use of the resident's belongings or money.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure an adequate
system to prevent the misappropriation/drug diversion of controlled medications for 8 (Residents #1, #3, #4,
#5, #6, #7, #8, and #9) of 9 sampled residents, with the potential to affect all residents prescribed controlled
drugs.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings include:
An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 09/13/23 at 11:13 am regarding an
incident related to Resident #1. The DON stated that on 7/27/23 at 7:00 am, Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN) A asked LPN B, to count the narcotics with her because the nurse who was relieving her was late.
While counting the medications LPN B reported to the Unit Manager that a tape was seen on the back of
an Oxycodone card for Resident #1. After reviewing the pill, it was determined that a Lipitor tablet
(medication for high cholesterol) was inserted in the place of an Oxycodone. An attempt was made to stop
LPN A before leaving the property, but she exited the building and boarded a vehicle that was waitng for
her. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that LPN A had signed for 120 oxycodone pills for
Resident #3, and 60 of the pills were unaccounted for. Further investigation also revealed that LPN A had
several notations of medication wastage with no reason that were not signed off by two nurses. In addition,
several dosages were given to residents outside of the required time. The DON could not provide any
specific names for the resident's affected. He stated that it was too much, and some incidences happened
before his tenure, and it was difficult to follow through. He added that the facility implemented a plan which
included education for all licensed staff to ensure that two nurses receive medication from the pharmacy
and add the medication to the narcotic sheet count log. He stated that two nurses should verify the
pharmacy manifest with the count and sign off the narcotic sheet. A copy of the manifest should be kept at
the nurses station. The unit manager audits the narcotic sign off sheets and the pharmacy manifest weekly,
and the DON audits the sheet monthly. When requested, the DON was unable to provide a copy of the
in-service sign-off sheets or details on when the education was completed and the audits.
On 9/13/23 at 11:35 am, a tour of the North Wing was conducted with the DON. When he was asked to
provide the pharmacy manifest for that unit, he looked around without success. When he asked the nurse
on the unit, the nurse said that she was not sure what he was talking about (no pharmacy requisition form
was found). When asked to provide the audits that he had been conducting, he confirmed he had not
conducted any audits. The DON stated that he had delegated the work to the unit managers and thought
that it was done.
During an interview with LPN C on 9/13/23 at 12:07 pm, she was asked about the process of receiving
medication from the pharmacy. She stated that once the medication arrives the nurse should verify

the medications received with the narcotic sheet (at the top of the narcotic sheet it shows the medication
delivered and then sign as delivered). She stated that she was not aware about the facility retaining the
pharmacy manifest. She added that the pharmacy delivery person normally takes a signed copy back.
When asked about the facility's process for narcotic reconciliation, she said, At the beginning of the shift,
two nurses count the cards in the cart and then count the narcotic for each resident individually. She added
that if a resident refuses medication, two nurses should witness and discard appropriately. When asked
when medication is signed off from the narcotic sheet during medication administration, she said, As soon
as you take it from the cart.
On 9/13/23 at 12:35 pm, a tour of the South Wing was conducted with the DON. Resident #7 was observed
in her scooter chair at the nurses' station upset, as she was asking for her morning medication. The
assigned nurse was not at the unit and the resident went into the dining room. The DON contacted LPN D
via her phone to return to the unit. While waiting for LPN D to return to the unit Resident #9 approached the
nurse's station. She stated that she wanted her morning medication. Resident #9 reported to the DON that
she had not received her morning medication. She added that there were three other times that the same
nurse administered the medication very late. When the DON asked her why she did not report these
incidences. Resident stated that the nurse does not work every day and therefore she does not remember,
she added, I don't want to put anyone in trouble, I just want my medication. The DON reassured the
resident that she would investigate her concerns. The DON was once again asked to provide the pharmacy
manifest and audits for the unit. He stated that he could not find any.
During an interview with Resident #7 on 9/13/23 at 12:50 am, she confirmed that she had not received her
morning medication. She stated she had been asking for her medication since 10:30 am, and she was told
that the nurse was on break. She stated that this wasn't the only time she hadn't received her morning
medications. When asked about the other occasions, the resident was unable to give any specific timelines.
When asked what medication she takes in the morning she said, I really need my anxiety and blood
pressure medication, I'm not sure what other medications I get.
A clinical record review for Resident #7 indicated that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included anxiety, depression, manic depression, bipolar type schizophrenia and high blood
pressure. The quarterly minimum data set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident had a
brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 10 out of 15, indicating moderate cognitive impairment.
The MDS further indicated that resident was receiving antianxiety, antidepressant, opioid and antipsychotic
medications.
During an interview with Resident #9 on 9/13/23 at 12:55 pm, she confirmed that she had not received her
morning medication. She added that it was already time for her afternoon medication and yet she had not
received the morning medications. When asked if she has had issues with her medication previously, she
said, Not really because there are different nurses working, but this nurse working today is always late
getting the medication. When asked if she knew what medication she had not received, she said, My pain
pill, blood pressure pill, acid reflux medication and I think there are some others, I can't remember them all.
A clinical record review for Resident #9 indicated that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included cirrhosis, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and high blood pressure. The
quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident had a BIMS score of 15, indicating that she
was cognitively intact. She required extensive assistance for bed mobility, transfer and toilet use.

On 9/13/23 at 1:00 pm, LPN D arrived at the unit. When asked about her whereabouts, she stated that she
was on break. When asked about the facility's protocol for breaks, she mentioned that staff can take two
fifteen-minute break and one 30-minute break. When asked if staff are required to clock out during their
break time, she said, During the 15 minutes break, we don't have to clock out as long as we do not leave
the facility. When asked how long she was away, she said, I had taken a 15 minutes break, and I was in my
car, so I didn't clock out. When asked what time she left the unit, she confirmed that she had left around
12:20 pm. When asked if she clocked out because it was more than 15 minutes, she did not answer. When
asked if she had completed her morning medication pass, she said, Yes. She opened the computer system
and revealed the resident medication administration record for her assigned residents which were green in
color (indicating that the medications were administered). When asked if she had administered the
medications for Resident #7 and #9. She said that she had administered the medication for Resident #7,
but she had not administered to Resident #9, as she was outside smoking. She added, It's my fault, I
should have gone to look for her after the smoke break.
A random narcotic count was conducted for the cart and multiple discrepancies were identified for the
following residents:
Resident #4 missing two Ativan
Resident #5 missing one Clonazepam and one Oxycodone.
Resident #6 missing Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone (Norco)
Resident #7 missing one Lorazepam
Resident #8 missing two Oxycodone
Resident #9 missing Oxycodone
(Copies obtained)
LPN D and the DON confirmed the discrepancies. LPN D stated that she administered the medications and
forgot to sign off. When asked when the medications are signed off during medication administration, she
said, As soon as they are taken off from the cart, I should have signed off at the narcotic sheet and the
computer.
An interview was conducted with the Administrator on 9/13/23 at 2:06 pm. She stated that she had removed
LPN D from the floor and an investigation would be initiated. When asked if there was a performance
improvement plan after the incident on 7/27/23 she stated, No.
A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation & Misappropriation
(Document # N- 1265, Revision date 11/16/202) revealed:
