The findings include: On 2/13/25 between 9:12 AM and 10:20 AM, a medication pass by V4 (Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN) was observed on the B wing of the facility. At 10:20 AM, V4 said she had completed the AM medication pass for the residents she was assigned to, and there were no more residents with AM medications due on the B wing.

On 2/13/25 at 11:04 AM, V4 (LPN-Agency nurse) said controlled medications should be signed out in the electronic narcotic inventory system when given, to prevent medication count errors. On 2/13/25 at 1:00 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing-DON) said the nurses should sign off controlled medications as they are giving them to the residents.
