or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** THE
FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
Residents Affected - Few
Based on medical record reviews, reviews of a facility investigation, review of self-reported incidents (SRIs),
and review of a facility policy, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from misappropriation. This
affected two (#4 and #47) of two residents reviewed for misappropriation. The facility census was 47.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #4 revealed an admission date of 05/24/23 with diagnoses
including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure, and depression. Review
of the most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #4 was
unable to be interviewed and was dependent on staff for activities of daily living (ADLs).
Review of the physician's orders for December 2024 revealed Oxycodone (narcotic pain medication) 20
milligrams (mg) given every six hours routinely and a as needed (PRN) order for five mg of Oxycodone
every two hours.
Review of the medical record for Resident #47 revealed an admission date of 07/14/17 with diagnoses
including cerebral palsy, major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. Review of the MDS
3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #47 had intact cognition and was dependent on staff for
ADLs.
Review of the physician's orders for December 2024 revealed Oxycodone five mg twice daily and a as
needed (PRN) order for five mg of Oxycodone every four hours.
Review of the SRI dated 01/09/25 revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #108 signed out as needed
(PRN) Oxycodone immediate release (IR) five milligrams (mg) for Resident #4 on 12/31/24 at 7:20 P.M. and
9:50 P.M. and on 01/01/24 at 4:00 A.M. on one narcotic count card and on another narcotic card for
Resident #4 revealed Oxycodone IR 20 mg signed out at 7:20 P.M. on 12/31/24 as well as 12:00 A.M. and
5:00 A.M. on 01/01/25 in the narcotic count book. Resident #4's medication administration records (MARs)
for December 2024 and January 2025 did not reveal that the PRN five mg. Oxycodone IR was administered
to Resident #4 by LPN #108. Further review of the MARs for 12/31/24 and 01/01/25 revealed that they were
not signed off and that Oxycodone IR 20 mg was not due at the times when taken from cart. Resident #4
was unable to verify she received it. Resident #4's habit was to sleep through the night and normally does
not get the Oxycodone IR five mg at night.

Additionally, the SRI revealed LPN #108 signed out PRN Oxycodone IR five mg for Resident #47 out at
7:00 P.M. and 11:10 P.M. on 12/31/24 and 3:14 A.M. on 01/01/25 on a card in the narcotic count book.
Resident #47's MARs for December 2024 and January 2025 did not reveal that the PRN five mg.
Oxycodone IR was administered to Resident #47 by LPN #108. Resident #47 denied that she was woken
up to receive PRN Oxycodone through the night. Resident #47 verified that she received her routine
medication at 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. by LPN #109. Resident #47's habit was to sleep through the night
and normally does not get Oxycodone five mg at night. The facility's investigation revealed after LPN #108
left for the day, LPN #102 looked closer at the narcotic sheets for Resident #4 and found discrepancies
which prompted the investigation. The facility substantiated the SRI and reported LPN #108 to the Ohio
Board of Nursing (OBN), Ohio Board of Pharmacy (OBP), and the Local Police Department (LPD).
An interview on 03/12/25 at 1:00 P.M. with the Administrator stated she was in training when the incident
occurred and verified LPN #108 misappropriated Residents #47 and #4's narcotic medications.
Review of the facility policy titled Controlled Substance Administration and Accountability Policy, dated
04/08/23 revealed the facility will have safeguards in place to prevent loss, diversion or accidental exposure.
