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, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure controlled substance is
properly labeled. This failure affected 1 (R2) resident reviewed for labeling of controlled substance in the
total sample of 10 residents.Findings include:On 07/14/2025 at 3:34pm, this surveyor requested V6
(Licensed Practice Nurse) to show the label on R2's Morphine Sulfate. R2's Morphine sulfate label on the
packages of the medication indicated Take 0.25ml (5mg) for moderate pain or take 0.5ml (10mg) by mouth
under the tongue every 1 hour as needed for severe pain. This surveyor requested V6 to check for R2's
order of Morphine Sulfate. V6, looking at R2's electronic health record, stated the order is to may give
0.25ml or 0.5ml every 4 hours. This surveyor requested V6 to check the label on the package of R2's
Morphine Sulfate and the actual order for R2's Morphine sulfate. V6 stated the label on the package and the
active order for Morphine Sulfate don't match. The expectation is the label on the packaging should match
the order for accuracy. On 07/15/2025 at 11:29pm, V2 (Director Of Nursing) stated Hospice, initially,
ordered Morphine sulfate to be given every 1 hour, then, I guess the nurse's assessment is the dose is too
much if given every 1 hour. The nurse called hospice to change the order to every 4 hours. And when
hospice came and do the hospice assessment, they found out every 4 hours as needed is appropriate for
her (R2). So, the nurses have been giving her (R2) Morphine every 4 hours as needed. Usually, hospice
sends out another bottle with the current order. The expectation is for hospice company to change the label
to the current order or send another bottle with a label of the current order to prevent errors in medication
administration. R2's (05/23/2025) Minimum Data Set documented, in part Section C. Cognitive Patterns.
