LPN #23 stated she thought she was administering Resident #20's 5:00 P.M. dose of oxycodone 2.5 mg and 6:00 P.M. dose of the antianxiety medication Ativan 0.5 mg when, in actuality, she removed the medications from two separate medication cards of oxycodone 2.5 mg tablets. LPN #23 stated she did not notice her mistake until a few hours later when she tried to reconcile the narcotics books and noticed the counts were off. Review of policy titled, General Dose Preparation and Medication Administration, dated 12/01/07, revealed the facility staff should verify that the medication name and dose are correct when compared to the medication order of the medication administration record.

Observation on 08/21/2023 from 8:48 A.M. to 8:51 A.M. revealed, in the top drawer of the D-Hall medication cart, a large plastic drinking cup labeled Tyle 500 with marker on the outside of the cup. Observed inside the cup was an unspecified, but numerous, quantity of round white tablets, and the tablets were marked with M2A4 57344. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #136 administered four medications to Resident #65 including the antidepressant Cymbalta 60 mg, the stool softener Miralax 17 grams, the diuretic Aldactone 25 mg, and Tylenol 500 mg.

LPN #136 stated the medication was already stored in the medication cart that way when she came on shift, and verified she did not normally work on that medication cart. Interview on 08/21/2023 at 9:19 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she was not aware nurses were storing medications inappropriately in the medication carts. The DON stated central supply ordered Tylenol in large bottles that did not fit in the top drawer of the medication carts, but would start to order smaller bottles. Review of a policy titled, Storage and Expiration Dating of Medications and Biologicals, dated January 2022, revealed the facility should ensure that the medications and biologicals are stored in the containers in which they were originally received.
