Respond appropriately to all alleged violations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, hospice provider self-reported incident review, review of a facility self-reported
incident investigation, and staff interview, the facility failed to thoroughly investigate an allegation of missing
narcotic medications. This affected one (Resident #8) of three residents reviewed for narcotic medication
use. The facility census was 73
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #8's medical record revealed an admission date of 12/27/23 with diagnoses that
included rheumatoid arthritis, adult failure to thrive and hypertension. Further review of the medical record
revealed on 04/19/24 Resident #8 was prescribed the use of morphine sulfate (Roxanol, opioid analgesic
medication) 20 milligram (mg) per one milliliter (ml) 0.25 ml every two hours as needed for pain. Review of
the Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed a total of 31 doses of medication administered
between 04/21/224 and 07/19/24. Thirty-one 0.25 ml doses from a 30 ml bottle would equal 22.25 ml
remaining in the 30 ml bottle.
Review of the controlled drug administration record for Resident #8's Roxanol revealed a 30 ml bottle was
provided to the facility on [DATE] and 29 doses were documented as administered for a total of 22.25 ml
remaining in the bottle. However, 29 doses (0.25 ml per dose) from a 30 ml bottle would equal 22.75 ml
remaining in the 30 ml bottle.
Review of the Hospice provider's self-reported incident (SRI) revealed on 10/17/24 a discrepancy was
noted on the facility controlled drug administration record for Resident #8. The SRI revealed that the
controlled drug administration records indicated a total of 22.5 milliliters (ml) of morphine sulfate was to be
remaining in the medication bottle. The hospice employee observed only 16 ml of medication remaining in
the medication bottle, which indicated a total of 6.5 ml unaccounted for.
Review of the facility SRI Tracking Number 253102 with a created date of 10/18/24 indicated an allegation
of missing Roxanol. Review of the facility investigation revealed eight doses of medication were not signed
out by staff on the controlled drug administration record and three doses were not signed out on the
Medication Administration Record (MAR). Further review of the facility investigation identified a total of eight
doses were not documented on the controlled drug administration record. Eight 0.25 ml doses would equal
two ml, which would not make up the difference in the actual 16 ml in the medication bottle and 22.5 ml on
the controlled drug administration record.
Observation of a picture of a Roxanol medication bottle, taken by the Director of Nursing, revealed
approximately 16 ml of medication was remaining in the bottle.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** THE
FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
Based on medical record review, hospice provider self-reported incident, facility self-reported incident
investigation, and staff interview, the facility failed to accurately document medication administration in the
medical record and controlled drug administration records. This affected one (Resident #8) of three
residents reviewed for narcotic medication use. The facility census was 73
Findings include:
Review of Resident #8's medical record revealed an admission date of 12/27/23 with diagnoses that
included rheumatoid arthritis, adult failure to thrive and hypertension. Further review of the medical record
revealed on 04/19/24 Resident #8 was prescribed the use of morphine sulfate (Roxanol, opioid analgesic
medication) 20 milligram (mg) per one milliliter (ml) 0.25 ml every two hours as needed for pain. Review of
the MAR revealed a total of 31 doses of medication were administered between 04/21/224 and 07/19/24.
Thirty-one 0.25 ml doses from a 30 ml bottle would equal 22.25 ml remaining.
Review of the controlled drug administration record for Resident #8's Roxanol revealed a 30 ml bottle
provided to the facility on [DATE] and revealed 29 does documented as administered and a total of 22.25 ml
remaining. Twenty-nine 0.25 ml doses from a 30 ml bottle would equal 22.75 ml remaining.
Review of the Hospice provider self-reported incident (SRI) revealed on 10/17/24 a discrepancy was noted
to the facility controlled drug administration record for Resident #8. The SRI indicated that the controlled
drug administration records indicated a total of 22.5 milliliters (ml) of morphine sulfate was to be remaining
in the medication bottle. The hospice employee observed only 16 ml of medication remaining in the
medication bottle, which indicated a total of 6.5 ml unaccounted for.
Review of the facility SRI #253102 with a created date of 10/18/24 indicated an allegation of missing
Roxanol. Review of the facility investigation revealed eight doses of medication not signed out by staff on
the controlled drug administration record and three doses not signed out on the Medication Administration
Record (MAR). Further review of the facility investigation identified a total of eight doses not documented on
the controlled drug administration record. Eight 0.25 ml doses would equal 2 ml, which would not make up
the difference in the actual 16 ml in the medication bottle and 22.5 ml on the controlled drug administration
record.
Observation of picture of Roxanol medication bottle taken by the Director of Nursing revealed approximately
16 ml of medication remaining in the bottle.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 10/31/24 at 10:40 A.M. verified the staff were not documenting
medication administrated on the controlled drug administration record and the MAR resulting in
discrepancies between the two administration sources.
The deficiency was corrected on 10/28/24 after the facility implemented the following corrective actions:
