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. She
just signed the receiving paperwork and delivered the medications to the appropriate hall nurse.
On 5/20/25 at 11:30 AM V2 Director of Nurses verified on 4/16/25 V5 LPN reported to him that there
seemed to be some Tramadol missing from R2's medications. 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.
Prior to the survey date of 5/16/25, the facility had taken the following actions to correct the noncompliance:
1. 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. The controlled medication policy was reviewed and updated.
3. Residents were identified who could be affected by the failure and resident medication count sheets and
medication administration records were reviewed.
4. Audits were completed to ensure the staff were following the new process for receiving medications from
the pharmacy and to ensure staff were following the controlled medication policy and procedures.
5. Audit results were discussed at the facility's Quality Assurance Program Improvement meetings.
