F 0602 Protect each resident from the wrongful use of the resident's belongings or money. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure Resident #10's narcotic pain medications were not misappropriated. This finding affected one (Resident #10) of three residents reviewed for medication administration. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #10's medical record revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including pain in the right toes, muscle weakness, rheumatoid arthritis and unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance. Review of Resident #10's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident exhibited moderate cognitive impairment. Review of Resident #10's physician orders revealed an order dated 10/24/24 (discontinued 12/10/24) for oxycodone pain tablet 5 mg (milligrams) give one tablet by mouth every six hours as needed for pain; and a physician order dated 12/10/24 for oxycodone 5 mg give one tablet by mouth every six hours as needed for pain. Review of Resident #10's medication administration records from 10/01/24 to 12/21/24 revealed the last dose of Resident #10's oxycodone pain medication was administered on 10/30/24 at 8:00 P.M. Review of facility investigation dated 12/06/24 revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Agency #809 misappropriated 14 oxycodone narcotic pain medications out of twenty-five oxycodone narcotic pain medications remaining on the narcotic card which were available for Resident #10's use as of 11/23/24. The narcotic card from Resident #10 was located on the 1C Hall medication administration cart in the locked narcotic drawer. This incident occurred when LPN Agency #809 worked 10:30 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. on 11/23/24. LPN Agency #809 worked a total of four shifts in the facility including 03/19/24, 07/19/24, 11/15/24 and 11/23/24. The investigation determined Resident #10's oxycodone narcotic pain medication card had the sides of the card slit open and the oxycodone narcotics were only taken from the edges and replaced with Topamax migraine medication. The Administration staff revealed LPN Agency #809 had left a bottle labeled amoxicillin with her name on it at the nursing station. Upon inspection of the bottle, an unknown amount of Topamax was in the bottle. On 12/06/24, LPN Agency #810 (second shift) and LPN Agency #808 were doing the end of shift narcotic counts and the nurses determined there was an issue with Resident #10's oxycodone narcotic card. The investigation and the pharmacy had determined the glue which was used to reseal Resident #10's oxycodone narcotic pain medication card after switching the oxycodone with Topamax had came undone on the tampered narcotic medications and that why LPN Agency #808 noticed the edges of the card pulling apart. When LPN Agency #808 (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
