Based on Observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to thoroughly investigate a fall
incident and implement fall interventions listed on revised care plan; and failed to ensure adequate
supervision to prevent a resident from smoking in a residential room. These failures affected two residents
(R65 and R172) reviewed for accidents and hazards in a sample of 128 residents.
Findings include:
Facility presented a list of 28 residents on fall list from the last 120 days, R65 was listed down that she had
a fall on 1/3/25.
R65's Face sheet dated March 25, 2025, documents that R65 was admitted to facility on September 6,
2020 with diagnosis including Polyarthritis, muscle wasting and atrophy, diabetes mellitus, dysphagia,
morbid obesity, anemia, hypertension, bilateral primary osteoarthritis of knee, presence of right artificial hip
joint, bipolar, schizoaffective disorder.
R65's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated January 13, 2025 section C , shows R65 has a score of 11 which
means R65 has moderate cognitive impairment; section GG shows R65 requires Substantial/maximal
assistance for transfers.
R65's care plan dated February 5, 2025 shows that R65 is at risk for falls related to dx of Bipolar,
Schizoaffective d/o and HTN. Interventions/Tasks: staff to place nonskid strip to side of the bed.
On 3/24/25 at time 12:37 pm, observed R65 in bed. R65 reported that she had a fall in shower room and
had bruising which resulted in pain, R65 stated that a staff member was in shower room with her assisting
her with shower and helped her up off the floor after she fell. R65 stated the staff member was
V43(Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA). R65 stated a nurse did not come to assess her after the fall but she
(R65) was provided with pain medication when she requested it.
On 3/24/25 at 2:00pm record review of R65's nursing notes in Electronic Medical Record chart did not show
any documentation stating R65 had a fall on 1/31/25. Documentation in the Electronic Medical Record chart
displays documentation on 2/1/25 from V4 referring to a fall incident that occurred the day prior 1/31/25
according to report she received from R65.

care to R65, she (V43) has never picked R65 up from floor in shower. V43 stated she was not aware that
R65 had a fall and if V43 had a fall she would inform the nurse right away.
On 3/25/25 at 12:40pm V2 (Director of Nursing) stated if a resident falls on the floor the restorative nurse is
the person that places the resident on the fall list. V2 stated she was not informed that R65 had a fall, and
she expects the nurse to complete a full head to toe assessment of the resident and call the doctor for
further guidance and orders. V2 stated she was not aware what date R65 had a fall.
On 3/25/25 at 2:58pm V31 (Nursing Consultant RN) stated nurses should monitor residents for 72 hours
after fall incident to assess for pain, change in condition, and any further injuries related to fall. It is my
expectations that the director of nursing and her nursing team monitors and manages the care of residents
who have had a fall and follow up with the physicians for further orders. V31 stated the purpose of the fall
care plan is so that staff can ensure that interventions for falls are put in place and to potentially prevent
falls from recurring. V31 stated a revision to the care plan should be implemented with each fall occurrence
because the previous intervention may not be successful, so a new intervention is implemented, and the
nurse should put fall interventions in place. V31 stated that these interventions are discussed in their facility
Interdisciplinary clinical team meeting which the director of nursing and administrator both attend. V31
stated she was made aware that R65 sustained a fall on 1/31/25 and during the interdisciplinary clinical
team meeting on 2/5/25 is when she revised the care plan and interventions for R65. V31 stated the date of
1/3/25 was a clerical error.
On 3/26/25 at 10:00 am, V30 (Restorative Nurse)- stated R65 is a one person stand by assist for transfers
from bed, but she requires x 2-person assistance if she is on the floor and maybe even a safety lift to get
her off the floor. V30 stated she was not informed that R65 had a fall.
On 3/26/25 at 11:30am, V34 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated I was the assigned nurse on 1/31/25 for
twelve-hour shift and no staff reported a fall to me, I was not aware R65 had a fall.
On 3/26/25 at 11:44am, V44 (CNA) stated she worked on 1/31/25 but was not assigned to care for R65 and
she was not made aware that she had a fall.
On 3/26/25 at 12:49pm, V41 (LPN) stated I was the assigned nurse for R65 on 2/1/25 when I came on duty
R65 reported she was having pain from a fall the day prior and when she assessed R65's right side there
was bruising to her lower extremities. I called the nurse practitioner for orders and informed the family and
the director of nursing then I completed the incident report and administered pain medication to R65.
On 3/26/25 at 3:00pm, V2 and V31 went to the room of R65 and interviewed her about the fall. R65 stated
she had a fall in shower room and that V43 picked her up by herself and placed her back in chair. R65
stated no nurse came to see her after the fall but she received pain medications afterwards.
On 3/26/25 at 3:05pm, V2 (DON) was standing next to bed and informed the surveyor that there were no
nonskid strips on either side of the bed for R65.V2 stated if that is the intervention that is on care plan then
it should be on her floor.
On 3/27/25 at 1:53pm, V1 emailed an electronic policy titled Falls.

On 3/24/25 at 12:05 pm, R114 stated, I have not gotten my pain medication since Thursday night (3/20/25).
I get morphine pills for the pain in my legs. They say they don't have it and have to reorder it.
On 3/25/25 at 10:56 am, this surveyor inquired to V32 LPN (License Practical Nurse) if R114 got his pain
medication of morphine today? V32 looked in the computer at the MAR (Medication Administration Record)
and V32 stated that R114 got his pain medication this morning at 6:00 am. It was documented that it was
given by the night nurse, and the next dose is not due until 2:00 pm this afternoon. Surveyor went into
R114's room and stated that his pain medication was documented given at 6:00 am this morning. R114
stated, They are lying, I did not get my morphine this morning. The last time I got it was Thursday night
(3/20/25). The surveyor went to V32 and asked to see R114's narcotic sheet for his pain medication. V32
looked in the narcotic book and could not find R114's narcotic sheet for the morphine and there was no
morphine medication in the narcotic drawer for R114. V32 stated, I don't think it came in from pharmacy yet.
Surveyor inquired to V32 when the narcotic sheet is complete where does it go? V32 stated that the
completed narcotic sheets go to the DON (Director of Nursing).
R114's MAR for March 2025 was reviewed, and all scheduled doses of morphine was documented given
on Friday 3/21/25, Saturday 3/22/25, and Sunday 3/23/25 at 6:00 am, 2:00 pm, and 10:00 pm. Monday

and I put it in a folder and file it. Surveyor inquired to V2 if a narcotic sheet was given for R114. V2 stated
that she has to check her mailbox. V2 stated that the sheet could be still in the narcotic book. Surveyor and
V2 went to the 3rd floor and checked the narcotic book and the drawer of narcotics. The narcotic sheet was
not in the narcotic book and the pain medication was not the narcotic drawer. V2 went into R114's room and
R114 stated to V2 that he has not gotten his pain medications

Level of Harm - Actual harm
On 3/26/25 at 12:15 pm, Surveyor inquired to V39 (License Practical Nurse) if V114 morphine medications
were administered on Saturday (3/22/25), Sunday (3/23/25), and Monday (3/24/25). V39 LPN stated If I
signed the medication out, then I gave it. There was morphine in the cart. I do not know how many was left.
The morphine medication on the bingo card was low so, I told the nurse to tell the NP (Nurse Practitioner)
when she come in on Monday.
Residents Affected - Few
On 3/26/25 at 2:57 pm, V2 DON stated, On 3/18 morphine came in for R114. I do not know how many pills
came in. I cannot find the narcotic sheet for 3/18. It is missing. We are investigating right now. Surveyor
asked V2 when a resident does not get their scheduled pain medication than what can happen to them? V2
stated, When a resident doesn't get their pain medication then they are still in pain and is not being
provided pain management.
On 3/27/25 at 9:18 am, V46 RN (Registered Nurse) stated Morphine medications came in for R114 on
3/18/25. I (V46) received the medication because I was working the 1st floor and the nurse on the 3rd floor
was not around, so I did not want the pharmacy to take the medication back. I signed for the medications
then I walked to the third floor and gave V39 the medications. I put the medication in V39's (LPN) hand. I did
not see how many pills was on the bingo card.
On 3/27/25 at 10:33 am, V45 RN stated, I worked Friday the 21st from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am. I gave R114 his
morphine Friday night and Saturday morning dose. I remember the medication was almost gone. On the
24th I reordered the morphine. I remember when I gave the morphine, it was one or two tablets left on the
bingo card. Surveyor inquired to V45 when the narcotic sheet is full what happens to the sheet? V45 stated
The completed narcotic sheets are placed in a red bin at the nurse's station, only nurses and CNAs
(Certified Nursing Assistants) go behind the nurses' station. I did not put the morphine narcotic sheet for
R114 in the red bin, because medications were still on the bingo card. Surveyor asked V45 did he
document that R114 got the 10:00 pm scheduled dose of morphine medication on 3/24/25? V45 stated I
did give R114 his scheduled nighttime dose of morphine on 3/24/25.
On 3/27/25 at 11:55 am, Surveyor inquired to V14 LPN if V14 administered morphine for pain to R114 on
3/22/25 the 2:00 pm dose? V14 stated, If I documented that I gave the medication then I gave it. When I
came back to work on Monday (3/24/25) R114 had no morphine in the narcotic box. The NP (Nurse
Practitioner) was on the floor, and I ask her how many scripts she signed for R114's morphine? The NP
said 60/90 was ordered, so I reordered the medication. R114 told me he had not gotten his morphine
medication over the weekend. Some nurses don't click the medications given when they give the
medications. They go to the nurse's station and sit down to chart then just click given. There was no
morphine medication for R114 here on Monday morning (3/24/25).
On 3/26/25 at 3:20 pm V48 Pharmacist stated that R114 had an order for morphine 15 mg every 8 hours.
The medication was delivered to the facility on 3/18/25 around 4:00 am. The quantity was 28 tablets, so the
medication should have lasted until March 27th.
On 3/27/25 at V47 NP stated, I (V47) do attend to R114's care. I saw R114 Monday or Tuesday of this
week. R114 told me he was not getting the scheduled morphine medication. I called the pharmacy and they
said he still had scripts for 120 tablets left. I asked them if they could send the medication tonight. R114 is
getting pain medication for bilateral below the knee amputations and is still having phantom pain. R114
does still need the morphine. If R114 does not get the morphine he is still in pain, he cannot sleep, he is

Based on observations, interviews and records review, the facility failed to ensure medication refrigerators
and medication carts with narcotic medications are secured and locked; failed to remove expired
medications from a medication cart and the medication refrigerator to prevent them from being
administered; failed to label multi dose vials and inhalers with opened date and expiration date and failed to
accurately document count of narcotic medications. These failures affected six residents (R20, R,22, R23,
R61, R134, R173) and have the potential to affect 16 residents on the fourth floor of the facility in a sample
of 128.
Findings include:

R134's Controlled drug receipt/record/disposition form documents on 3/25/2025 Lorazepam 2mg with
remaining quantity of 20 tablets. V14 stated that she has 21 tablets in the blister pack. V14 stated that she
just got here, and she don't know what happened.
On 3/2625 at 12:50 PM by a telephone Interview with V40, Pharmacist stated that usually opened
medications such as insulins, inhalers and eye drops are good for 28 days after the medications are
opened. If the vials of medications are not labeled with opened date, they should not be used and should
be discarded.
On 3/26/25 at 2:44 PM during interview with V2 Director of Nursing (DON), stated that the controlled
substance medications should be stored in a locked compartment of the medication cart with a different
key. Narcotic medications should be stored separately from other medications. Diazepam is a control
substance medication, and it should be stored in the medication cart in a separate locked box with the
control substances. The narcotic medications needing refrigeration, should be stored in the locked
refrigerator inside a separate locked box. The expectation from nurses when locks on the narcotic box or
the medication refrigerator are broken, is to immediately notify the DON and the pharmacy. In that instance,
a recount of all narcotic medications in the storage box must be performed and compared with the
documentation of the logbook for accuracy. DON also stated, that when insulin vial is opened, the nurse's
expectation is to clearly date it with the open and the new expiration date. The open insulin vials should be
discarded after 28 days from the open date. Inhalers should be clearly dated with the open date. Controlled
substances and narcotic medication's documentation forms should be signed by the nurses daily, when
reconciliating accurate inventory count of medications. Discrepancies in accuracy of the narcotic
medications should be immediately reported to the DON and the pharmacy, and then investigation of
missing narcotic medications should be performed. Any new ordered narcotic or controlled substance
medication should arrive from pharmacy with its documentation form, and that document should be added
to the narcotic/control substances logbook.
On 3/25/2025 V1 presented a list of residents on the fourth floor with narcotic orders which documents total
of 16 residents.
Facility policy titled Controlled Substance Storage date effective 10/25/2014, documents in part that
Schedule II-V medications and other medications that are controlled substance should be stored in a
permanently affixed, double-locked compartment that is separate from all other medication. The access or a
key to this compartment should be a different then the access to other medication. The controlled
substances that required refrigeration should be stored within a locked box within the refrigerator. This box
must be attached to the inside of the refrigerator. This policy also documents that controlled substance
inventory is regularly reconciled to the Medication Administration Record (MAR) and Forms titled Controlled
Substance Count record. Current controlled substances accountability records are kept in the MAR or a
designated book.
Facility policy titled Storage of Medications date effective 10/25/2014, documents in part that the
medication rooms, carts, emergency kits/boxes and medication supplies are locked when not attended by
authorized personnel. The policy also documents in part that the outdated medications are immediately
removed from inventory, disposed of according to procedures for medication disposal. This policy also
documents in part when the original seal of manufacture's container or vial is initially broken, the container
or a vial should be dated. The nurse should place a date opened sticker on the medication and enter the
