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 and dispose of medications in a secure manner. This applies to 2 of 2 residents (R8, R29) in a sample size of 13.
Findings include: 1.) On June 21, 2023, at 10:20 AM, during the medication administration observation R8 brought his Incruse Ellipta inhaler out of his room and handed it to V2 (Director of Nursing/DON). R8 stated Someone left this in my room and now I don't know if I got it. When they leave it there, I'm not sure if I got it or not. On June 22, 2023, at 12:19 PM, V2 stated R8 does not have an assessment to keep medications at his bedside. V2 stated, The nurse should have taken it with them after it was administered. (R8) could have taken too much since he didn't remember if he had taken it or not. Another resident could have wandered into the room and taken it by mistake. Review of R8's physician orders include Incruse Ellipta one puff by mouth daily [DX (diagnosis): Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease] 04:00 AM - 05:45 AM. 2.) On June 21, 2023, at 4:52 PM, during the medication cart review, V2 (DON) and V7 (Licensed Practical Nurse) were observed conducting the electronic narcotic count. Tramadol 50 MG (Milligrams) for R29's electronic count was 103 and the actual count was 104. The medication card showed the blister pack for one pill was opened. V2 (DON) stated R29 had refused the medication so he placed it back in the blister pack. V2 stated the proper procedure is to waste the medication with two nurses by dissolving it in water, adding kitty litter and placing it in a red biohazard bag for disposal. Review of R29's physician orders include Tramadol 50mg one tablet oral [DX: Alcohol- induced chronic pancreatitis] every 12 hours 08:00 AM, 08:00 PM. Facility Policy Controlled Substances dated July 2014 states, unless otherwise instructed by the Director of Nursing Services, when a resident refuses a non-unit dose medication or it is not given, or receives partial tablets or single dose ampules, or it is not given, the medication shall be destroyed, and may not be returned to the container. The facility undated policy General Medication Administration Procedures states, open the packaged medication only when administering medication directly to the resident. Removing the medication from its packaging in advanced lessens the ability to positively identify the medication and increases the chance of drug administration errors and contamination.
