recommendations the facility failed to ensure medications for Resident #96 were securely stored and
Resident #55's and Resident #45's insulin were used before expiration dates This affected one (Resident

the nursing facility on 07/22/16. The primary diagnosis for admission was cellulitis. Additional diagnoses
included asthma, type II diabetes mellitus, depression, hypothyroidism, lymphedema, hypertension, obesity
and fibromyalgia.
Review of the comprehensive assessment (MDS 3.0) dated 01/15/19 revealed a brief interview for mental
status (BIMS) was completed. Resident #96's score was 15 of a possible 15 and this indicated intact
cognition.
An interview was completed with Resident #96 on 01/28/19 at 3:20 P.M. at the bedside. During the
interview a plastic basin was observed on the night stand located to the left of the resident. The contents of

At the time of the observation, Resident #96 stated she kept the medications at her bedside and was aware

trouble. Further discussion with Resident #96 revealed her husband would visit the facility frequently and
often brought medications from home and gave them to her.

to the attention of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #500 who entered the room at 3:40 P.M. LPN #500
stated the medications should not have been left at the bedside unless a physician order was present. LPN

physician to remain at the bedside.

Resident #96 and staff interviews did not evidence any negative outcome from the deficiency.
