Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to store medication in a manner to
prevent diversion for 2 residents (R8, R9) in 5 med rooms reviewed for medication storage in the sample of
13.
The findings include:
On 6/5/24 at 10:15 AM, all five medication rooms were checked for medication storage compliance. V5,
Registered Nurse (RN), unlocked the A wing medication room door. This surveyor opened the unlocked
refrigerator. The refrigerator contained an unopened bottle of morphine sulfate liquid on the top shelf. The
bottle label showed it was issued for R8. The C wing medication room was unlocked by V6, RN. This
surveyor opened the unlocked refrigerator. The refrigerator contained two ABHR suppositories in a clear
plastic baggie on a shelf. The label on the baggie showed it was issued for R9.
At 10:20 AM, V6 was asked what ABHR stood for. V6 looked the information up on his phone and said it
stood for Ativan, Benadryl, Haldol and Reglan.
On 6/6/24 at 8:55 AM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON), said morphine and lorazepam should be stored
under two locks. It's a controlled drug and could be misused or abused.
R8's 5/30/24 hospice record showed a physician signed order for morphine concentrate 100 milligram
(mg)/5 milliliter (ml) (20mg/ml) oral solution. Administer 0.25ml (5 mg) orally or sublingually every 1-2 hours
as needed. For pain or dyspnea.
R8's record showed she was a current facility resident.
The facility's 9/2022 Medication Pass Guidelines showed Schedule II controlled substances must be kept
double locked. It is a good practice to keep all controls under double lock.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) website showed morphine was a Schedule II narcotic under
the Controlled Substances Act.
R9's 11/30/23 hospice orders showed a physician signed order for ABHR suppository (Ativan 0.5 mg;
Benadryl 25 mg; Haldol 0.5 mg; Reglan 10 mg;), 1 suppository rectally, every four hours as needed for
nausea or vomiting.
R9's record showed he passed away in the facility on 4/5/24.

F 0761
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
A lorazepam (Ativan) controlled drug storage policy and recommendations was requested and not
received.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) website showed lorazepam concentrate had a risk of abuse, misuse,
and addiction. This drug was a Schedule IV medication with a potential for abuse and addiction and should
be refrigerated. This site showed lorazepam was a federally controlled substance because it can be abused
or lead to dependence.
The facility's 9/2020 Medication Storage Policy showed after 30 days, if the patient has not returned to the
facility, medications should be returned to the pharmacy.
