Interview on 05/21/25 at 3:46 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #42's medical record did not accurately reflect the oxycodone narcotic pain medications administered to the resident. The deficient practice was corrected on 03/10/25 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions:
Residents Affected - Few • On 03/03/25, the DON audited Residents #14, #18, #27, #42, #43, #44, #48, #58, #64 and #73's medical records for documentation discrepancies on the MARs and NFRs. No additional discrepancies were noted. • On 03/04/25, the DON interviewed Residents #14 and #75 who were alert and oriented and on pain control. No concerns were identified. • On 03/04/25, the DON interviewed hospice services for hospice residents who were not interviewable related to medication management and pain control to ensure Residents #18, #27, #42, #58 and #73's medication and pain were managed. No concerns were identified. • On 03/04/25, Registered Nurse (RN) #817, RN #818, RN #819, RN #820 educated LPN #813 on narcotic documentation and sign off in the NFR and in the MAR. LPN #816 had not returned to the facility. • From 03/04/25 to 03/10/25, RN #817, RN #818, RN #819 and RN #820 educated all other nurses on narcotic documentation sign off in the NFR and in the MAR. • On 03/05/25, RN #818 reviewed the Controlled Drugs policy revised 03/25 to ensure the policy was complete and accurate. • Beginning 03/10/25, the DON or designee monitored narcotic books for all units and identify missing signatures for both as needed and routine narcotic orders, weekly for four weeks to ensure that narcotics were signed out at the time of administration and that the Matrix timestamp matches the narcotic sheets. Monitoring will continue after the initial four weeks to include every two weeks times four then monthly thereafter. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00163608.
