F 0697 mcg/ hr was administered. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On 5/1/25 at 10:20 AM, V3 (Director of Nursing/ DON) said on 4/17/25 R1's fentanyl patch order was changed from 12 mcg/ hr to 25 mcg/hr but the pharmacy had not delivered the fentanyl 25 mcg/ hr patches to the facility yet, so the order was changed back to fentanyl 12 mcg/hr on 4/21/25 (5 days later). V3 said she would expect staff to call a medical provider if a medication was not available. Residents Affected - Few On 5/1/25 at 10:30 AM, V16 (Registered Nurse/ RN) said when R1's 4/16/25 order for fentanyl 25 mcg/hr every 72 hours was put into the electronic medical record the administration dates for every 72 hours were wrong and that is how she found R1 had not had a fentanyl patch administered from 4/17/25 through 4/21/25. V16 said she called to get an order to change R1's fentanyl patch back to 12 mcg/hr on 4/21/25 due to the facility having 1 fentanyl patch 12 mcg/hr left and the fentanyl patch 25 mcg/hr had not been delivered to the facility. V16 said R1 did not complain of increased pain during that time. The facility's revised 10/15/23 Administering Medications policy documented in part .3.

R1's eMAR documented on 4/21/25 a fentanyl patch 12 mcg/ hr was administered. On 5/1/25 at 10:20 AM, V3 (Director of Nursing/ DON) said on 4/17/25 R1's fentanyl patch order was changed from 12 mcg/ hr to 25 mcg/hr but the pharmacy had not delivered the fentanyl 25 mcg/ hr patches to the facility yet, so the order was changed back to fentanyl 12 mcg/hr on 4/21/25 (5 days later). V3 said she would expect staff to call a medical provider if a medication was not available. On 5/1/25 at 10:30 AM, V16 (Registered Nurse/ RN) said when R1's 4/16/25 order for fentanyl 25 mcg/hr every 72 hours was put into the electronic medical record the administration dates for every 72 hours were wrong and that is how she found R1 had not had a fentanyl patch administered from 4/17/25 through 4/21/25 . V16 said she called to get an order to change R1's fentanyl patch back to 12 mcg/hr on 4/21/25 due to the facility having 1 fentanyl patch 12 mcg/hr left and the fentanyl patch 25 mcg/hr had not been delivered to the facility. On 5/1/25 at 10:40 AM, V1 (Regional Director of Operations) provided a facility undated and untitled spreadsheet of narcotic medication Controlled Substance Proof of Use forms that could not be found. This spreadsheet documented R1's Controlled Substance Proof of Use forms for hydrocodone- acetaminophen 5-325 mg for the 30 tablets delivered on 3/24/25 as missing. R1's Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) dated 3/1/25 through 3/31/25 documented 5 hydrocodone- acetaminophen 5-325 mg tablets were administered. 146054 Page 3 of 7 146054 05/02/2025 Gallatin Manor 900 West Race Street Ridgway, IL 62979
F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some R1's 4/1/25 through 4/30/25 eMAR documented 8 hydrocodone- acetaminophen 5-325 mg tablets were administered. R1's Controlled Substance Proof of Use form documented 30 hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg tablets were delivered to the facility on 4/10/25 and tablets were administered as follows: 4/12/25 3 tablets, 4/13/25 2 tablets, 4/14/25 2 tablets, 4/15/25 3 tablets, 4/16/25 2 tablets, 4/18/25 1 tablet, 4/19/25 2 tablets, 4/20/25 2 tablets, 4/21/25 2 tablets, 4/22/25 4 tablets, 4/23/25 2 tablets for a total of 25 tablets administered. On 4/24/25 at 11:40 AM, V13 (Assistant Director of Nursing/ ADON) said it was the responsibility of V3 to ensure medications were being correctly documented on the Controlled Substance Proof of Use forms and on the resident's eMAR. V13 said she was not sure if that was being completed due to V3 only working in the facility 2 days a week as the interim DON. On 5/2/25 at 10:31 AM, V9 (Licensed Practical Nurse/ LPN) said she tried to but did not always document on the eMAR when an as needed (PRN) medication was administered. V9 said PRN medications were always documented on the Controlled Substance Proof of Use form because that was the form used when nurses counted the narcotic medications at shift change. V9 said the Controlled Substance Proof of Use form would be the most accurate documentation on when a resident received medications. On 5/2/25 at 10:58 AM, V7 (Registered Nurse/ RN) said V7 forgets to document on the eMAR due to medication administration time being chaotic but would always document on the Controlled Substance Proof of Use form. V7 said when controlled substance card was empty the Controlled Substance Proof of Use form would be put in a folder on the Business Office door to be filed. On 5/2/25 at 10:25 AM, V10 (Medical Records) said the Controlled Substance Proof of Use forms were stored in the business office until V10 could scan them into the resident's electronic medical record.
