Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm

(R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5) of five residents reviewed for misappropriation of medications from a total sample
list of five residents reviewed.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
The facility provided Resident Care Policy and Procedure Regarding Abuse and Neglect, Involuntary
Seclusion, Exploitation, Misappropriation of Resident Property, Injuries of Unknown Origin and Social
Media policy dated 3/15/18 documents that Misappropriation of Resident Property is the deliberate
misplacement, exploitation, or wrongful, temporary, or permanent use of a resident belongings or money
without the resident's consent. No person shall misappropriate or steal any resident's property. Any person
who becomes aware of any alleged misappropriation or theft of resident property shall report the incident to
the Administrator immediately.
On 2/27/24 at 3:06PM, V8 (Registered Nurse/RN) said When I began my shift on 2/12/24 I was counting
narcotics with the off-going nurse and some of the people's narcotic numbers were unusual. You get to
know how much they use when you work on one side a lot. One of the cards documented that R2 had used
narcotics and that was very unusual. After the count, I went into R2's record to see if he had a fall or
something that would cause him increased pain because I never knew him to take narcotics. I couldn't find
anything. Also, I looked at his pain scores and they were zero, but one nurse kept documenting that she
was pulling Norco for him. That got me worried, so I started looking at the others who rarely take narcotics
like R3. We give R3's pain medication religiously at 5:00AM and then on evenings, only twice a day. She
had gotten additional pain medication as close together as two hours. I made copies of these two sheets
and then at the end of my shift I gave them to V4 (Registered Nurse/Care Plan Coordinator) who was our
manager on duty and told her that I thought she should be aware.
On 2/27/24 at 10:29AM, V4 (Registered Nurse/Care Plan Coordinator) said that she was notified by V8
(Registered Nurse) the morning of February 13, 2024. She handed me copies of narcotic count sheets and
Medication Administration Records and told me that I needed to look at it. I thanked her and notified V1
(Administrator) and V2 (Director of Nursing) and they began the investigation.
On 2/27/24 at 9:15AM, V1 (Administrator) stated that the facility completed an investigation immediately
when notified and that as a part of the investigation, V3 (Agency Registered Nurse/RN) was repeatedly
contacted and would not return her calls. V1 stated that the results of the investigation yielded narcotic
medications for five residents that could not be accounted for.

Not hire anyone with a finding of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to follow their abuse policy by employing a nurse
with a history of disciplinary action on their license. This failure affects five (R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5) of five
residents reviewed for abuse on the sample of five residents.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
The facility provided Resident Care Policy and Procedure Regarding Abuse and Neglect, Involuntary
Seclusion, Exploitation, Misappropriation of Resident Property, Injuries of Unknown Origin, and Social
Media dated 3/15/18 documents that the facility will not knowingly employ individuals or otherwise engage
individuals who have been found guilty of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, or
mistreatment by a court of law. This includes individuals who have findings entered into the State Nurse
Aide Registry or those who have had disciplinary action in effect against his or her professional licenses by
a state licensure board as a result of a finding of abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment of resident or
misappropriation of resident property.
V3 (Agency Registered Nurse's) lookup detail from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation documents that V3 (Agency Registered Nurse) license (number), was disciplined and placed on
probation from 2/27/15 through 4/20/23 for drug diversion.
V3 (Agency Registered Nurse's) timecard documents the following hours worked at the facility: 2/7/24 from
6:00AM to 6:11PM on the north hall and 2/8/24 from 6:00AM to 6:13PM on the north hall, 2/10/24 from
6:00AM to 6:04PM on the south hall and 2/11/24 from 6:00AM to 6:22PM on the south hall.
On 2/27/24 at 9:15AM, V1 (Administrator) stated that the facility completed an investigation immediately
when notified (of allegations of drug diversion by V3) and that as a part of the investigation, V3 (Agency
Registered Nurse/RN) was repeatedly contacted and would not return her calls. V1 stated that the results of
the investigation yielded narcotic medications for five residents (R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5) that could not be
accounted for.
On 2/27/24 at 9:00AM, V1 stated that only after doing her own investigation of V3 (Agency Nurse) did she
find out that she had a hit for drug diversion on her license. We are using a staffing agency that assumes no
responsibility for the nurses that they provide. It isn't a very good agency.

Residents Affected - Few
Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to dispose of narcotics as directed by their policy. This failure
has the potential to affect one (R1) of five residents reviewed for medication disposal on the sample list of
five.
Findings include:
The facility Medication Disposal Policy dated 2/2021 documents that unused, unneeded, or expired
controlled medication tablets and capsules should be removed from the outer packing and placed into a
commercially available controlled drug denaturing kit.
R1's physician order dated [DATE] documents an order for Oxycodone-Acetaminophen (Narcotic) Oral
Tablet 2.5/325 milligram dated [DATE] with instructions to give one tablet by mouth every 4 hours as
needed for moderate pain to severe pain for 3 days. The order was discontinued on [DATE].
R1's Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form documents V3 (Agency Registered Nurse) signed
out R1's discontinued Oxycodone 2.5 milligrams/325 milligrams on [DATE] at 8:00AM and 1:00PM and on
[DATE] at 7:00AM, 11:30AM and 4:00PM. R1's Medication Administration Record does not document any
of these narcotics being given to R1.
On [DATE] at 11:13AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, We missed that (R1's) medications were
discontinued. We should have destroyed them when the order was discontinued. If we had, that would have
been fewer medications that could have been taken. I caught this during the investigation. There were
seven tablets left from a total of 12.
