Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to store all controlled medications
(schedule II medications) in a secured locked box in the medication cart and failed to destroy all controlled
medications once discontinued for four of four residents (R1, R2, R3, R4) reviewed for medication storage
in the sample of four.
Findings include:
The facility's Schedule II Drug Inventory policy dated 03/2000 documents, Procedure: Maintain a declining
inventory record by resident by drug on all schedule II drugs. Records must be accurate. Reconcile the
declining inventory record at the end of each shift. Reconciliation is performed by a physical count of the
remaining medication by two persons who are legally authorized to administer medications. Store all
controlled drugs in a separate locked box within the medication cart.
The facility's High-Alert Medications policy (undated) documents, When an opioid or narcotic medication is
discontinued, it shall be destroyed in the presence of two nurses and a destruction log completed.
Verification at shift turnover occurs when two nurses verify the accuracy of the control drug sheet for all
narcotic medications until destroyed.

every shift by two nurses and destroyed with two nurses immediately once the medications are
discontinued. (R1, R2, R3, and R4's) controlled medications should not have been stored in (V2's) desk
drawer.
On 12-6-23 at 9:30 AM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, I have been storing (R1. R2, R3, and R4's)
controlled narcotic medications in my desk drawer since the medications were either discontinued or the
residents passed. I have not been counting these narcotic medications with another nurse every day and I
should have been. Controlled narcotic medications should be destroyed immediately between two nurses
when the medications are discontinued. (R1, R2, R3, and R4's) controlled medications were left in the
medication rooms, so I put them in my desk until I could get another nurse to destroy them with me. I
completely forgot about these medications being in my desk drawer.
