Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Review of the pharmacy delivery manifest form dated [DATE] at 9:48 A.M. revealed 30 capsules of Resident #156's Lyrica pain medication were delivered to the facility. Review of Resident #156's Lyrica 225 mg Controlled Drug Administration Record form with administration dates from [DATE] to [DATE] revealed the first dose was administered on [DATE] at 10:00 A.M.
Residents Affected - Few Interview on [DATE] at 12:50 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #156 was admitted on [DATE] and on [DATE], the resident required another prescription for Lyrica as the previous prescription had expired and Lyrica 225 mg was not available in their starter box of medications. The DON confirmed Resident #156 was not administered the Lyrica pain medication on [DATE] at 9:00 P.M. because the medication was not available to administer to the resident. An email was sent on [DATE] at 4:01 P.M. to the Administrator to clarify the documentation on Resident #156's MAR which indicated the resident was administered a dose of Lyrica on [DATE] at 9:00 A.M.; however, the medication was not available in the facility to administer to the resident. She confirmed the concern would be investigated and she would respond promptly. Telephone interview on [DATE] at 10:03 A.M. with the DON confirmed Registered Nurse (RN) #823 mistakenly documented Resident #156's Lyrica 225 mg as administered on [DATE] at 9:00 A.M. when the medication was not available in the facility for the resident's use. Review of the undated Administration Procedures for All Medications indicated to administer medications in a safe and effective manner. Review of the Unavailable Medications policy dated 09/18 indicated medications used by residents in the nursing facility may be unavailable for dispensing from the pharmacy on occasion. This may be due to the pharmacy being temporarily out of stock, a drug recall, manufacturer shortage or the medication may no longer be produced. The facility must make every effort to ensure that medications were available to meet the needs of each resident. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00144424.
