What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0610 Respond appropriately to all alleged violations. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on personnel file review, narcotic destruction log review, facility policy review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a thorough investigation to prevent the possibility of drug diversion and ensure the safety of all residents after the Administrator received a text message alleging a staff member was using drugs. This had the potential to affect all residents residing in the facility. The census was 92. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Registered Nurse (RN) #200's personnel file revealed RN #200 received a Notice of Disciplinary Suspension dated 12/21/23. The notice indicated RN #200 was suspended as a result of an investigation of the narcotic destruction process. Review of a termination letter dated 12/27/23 revealed RN #200 was terminated effective immediately due to violation of narcotic destruction process policy, asking a staff member to falsify documents, and exercising poor nursing judgement. Interview on 12/12/24 at 1:58 P.M. with the Administrator revealed in December of 2023, there was no diversion of narcotics. RN #200 had a back log of narcotics that needed to be destroyed and destroyed the narcotics without a witness then asked the supervisor to falsify documents stating she was present when the narcotics were destroyed. The Administrator stated it was a one-time incident but RN #200 was terminated for using poor nursing judgement. The Administrator re-hired RN #200 on 05/13/24 with conditions which included random drug screening and having three staff present when narcotics were destroyed. The condition did not indicate the frequency of the random drug screening. Follow up interview on 12/12/24 at 3:32 P.M. with the Administrator revealed he received a random text message on 11/06/24 indicating RN #200 was using drugs. The Administrator spoke to three staff members including the Clinical Manager, Staff Development Coordinator and the Assistant Director of Nursing who denied having any issues or concerns with RN #200 or the narcotic counts. No further actions were taken. The Administrator did not interview direct care staff, residents, or review narcotic count sheets or narcotic destruction logs. The Administrator did not try to contact the person who sent the text message. Review of facility drug screening documentation revealed RN #200 had drug screens completed on 05/09/24 and 07/10/24. The Administrator verified no further drug screening was completed for RN #200. Review of the narcotic destruction sheets for the past three months with the Administrator revealed two staff signed and dated the destruction logs. Two additional staff signed at the bottom of the logs although the signatures did not include a date or time. The Administrator verified two staff signed the destruction of narcotics and the signatures on the bottom did not include a date and time. Review of the facility policy titled Controlled Medications-Disposal, dated 2019 noted narcotics must be destroyed in the presence of two licensed nurses.
