F 0602 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 5/20/25 at 1:49 PM V8 Licensed Practical Nurse LPN stated she was the receiving nurse from the pharmacy for R2's Tramadol on 3/25/25. V8 stated she is not sure how many tablets were in the bag because at that time she never actually verified the number of controlled substances being delivered.

V2 DON confirmed on 3/25/25 the pharmacy delivered 120 tablets of Tramadol 50 milligrams for R2. V2 confirmed the receiving nurse that day was V8 LPN who did not verify the number of Tramadol tablets she was receiving from the pharmacy. V2 confirmed he is not sure what happened to the 60 tablets of Tramadol and there are also two missing count sheets for R2's Tramadol. V2 stated he is not sure if someone took them. V2 stated it is hard to prove because the reconciliation process was not done correctly when the medications were received.

In-services were completed to educate the nursing staff about the new process for receiving medications from the pharmacy and regarding the controlled medication policy. 2.
