Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident's narcotic controlled substance record for was in place for 1 of 1 residents (R213) reviewed for controlled substance medications in the sample of 35. Findings include: On 11/28/23 at 09:31 AM, V11 Registered Nurse was reviewing controlled substance medications in the medication cart with this surveyor. R213 had an opened bottle of liquid morphine (narcotic pain reliever) with approximately 25 ml (milliliters) left. There was no controlled substance proof of sheet/form for R213's morphine. V11 stated there is no sheet for this. There should be a sheet to sign off when the medication is given. R213 had a dose once and he did not like it so we don't give it to him. V11 said she did not reconcile/count R213's morphine with the night nurse at shift change. On 11/29/23 at 9:59 AM, V10 RN stated liquid morphine should have a medication reconciliation sheet to sign off when a dose is given and to verify that what's left in bottle matches the amount given. All narcotics are checked shift to shift with the oncoming nurse.

This same MAR shows R213 received a dose on 11/8/23 at 9:40 AM. The facility's Controlled Substances Policy dated 3/2020 shows an individual resident-controlled substance record must be made for each resident who will be receiving a controlled substance. The nurse has to document the resident's medical record and /or sign out the controlled substances proof of use sheet/form once the medication is administered to the resident. Nursing staff must count controlled medications at the end of each shift.
