If it is a narcotic, obviously the nurse would need to have authorization to pull the medication. If the medication is not available in the Pyxis, then the practitioner would need to be notified to see if we could get a prescription, or how the resident can get the medication. When a medication is not given or available, the practitioner should be notified to see what kind of orders they would like to give. The nurse should document these actions in the resident record. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00160442.
