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

inspected the card further it was determined 14 of the oxycodone tablets did not have the correct
medications in the plastic bubble slots intended for the oxycodone. The oxycodone was replaced by
Topamax migraine medication. The facility identified one resident in the facility who was administered
Topamax which were a different brand that the Topamax found in the oxycodone card, but the same tablets
which were found in LPN Agency #809's amoxicillin bottle she had left at the nursing station.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the Facility Theft or Loss Documentation form dated 12/06/24 revealed 14 tablets of Resident
#10's oxycodone narcotic pain medications were missing with an unexplained theft or loss. The suspect's
name was LPN Agency #809. The pharmacy, State Board of Nursing and Law Enforcement were notified.
There was no mention of notification to the State Survey Agency.
Interview on 12/21/24 at 7:20 A.M. with LPN #804 indicated the misappropriation happened on the 1C Hall
medication cart. She stated the third shift agency nurse (LPN Agency #808) was counting with the second
shift agency nurse (LPN Agency #809) when the third shift nurse noticed Resident #10's oxycodone pain
medication card had been tampered with.
Interview on 12/21/24 at 7:38 A.M. with RN Supervisor #803 indicated the oncoming nurse on 12/06/24
(LPN Agency #808) counted the narcotics with another staff member during shift change when a
discrepancy was identified with Resident #10's oxycodone narcotic card. LPN Agency #808 flipped over
Resident #10's oxycodone narcotic card and there was a slit on the back of some of the narcotic pain
medications. When she examined the card, she found that some of the medications in the plastic bubbles of
the narcotic card were different than other pills in the card. She reported these concerns to the
administrative staff.
Interview on 12/21/24 at 8:01 A.M. with RN Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #806 indicated LPN
Agency #808 had noticed Resident #10's card looked tampered with when she was doing narcotic count on
12/06/24 with another staff member. She refused to take the keys and called the administrative staff. During
the investigation, it was determined that Resident #10's oxycodone narcotic card had 14 oxycodone pain
tablets replaced with Topamax (for seizures and migraine headaches). Further investigation revealed a
bottle labeled amoxicillin was found at the nursing station with LPN Agency #809's name on the label. The
bottle was filled with Topamax when reviewed by the pharmacy. RN ADON #806 stated the facility called the
police, the Board of Nursing, their pharmacy and did audits but did not identify any other residents with
missing narcotic pain medications. RN ADON #806 also indicated Resident #10 had not received
oxycodone narcotic pain medications since 10/24 and no concerns were identified with the resident was
assessed for pain.
A telephone interview was attempted on 12/21/24 at 9:55 A.M. with LPN Agency #809 and was
unsuccessful with no answer obtained. A message was left on the voicemail. No call back from LPN Agency
#809 was received.
Review of the facility's Narcotic Policy dated 07/05/24 revealed to not scratch off and scribble on mediation
narcotic tracking sheets; sheets must remain legible at all times; all narcotics were to be signed off as they
were removed from the cart and administered; shift to shift counts must be completed by all nurses when
transferring keys and medication carts; narcotic cards were to be assessed for proper numerical count, card
integrity, expiration date and signs of tampering; and two nurses were required for transferring narcotics in
and out of each medication cart.
This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00160593.
