F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. Based on observation, staff interview, review of narcotic lock emergency box check sheet, and facility Controlled Substances Policy the facility failed to ensure narcotic medications were reconciled every shift. This had the potential to affect 10 Residents (#2, #5, #23, #27, #31, #34, #37, #38, #42, and #294) who were prescribed Ativan, a narcotic medication. The facility census was 43. Findings include: Review of the narcotic lock emergency box check sheet revealed the box was checked to ensure it was secure by the off going and oncoming nurse at 7:00 A.M. on 02/16/19, 02/17/19, 02/18/19, and 02/19/19. No signatures were recorded to indicate the box was checked for these days at the 7:00 P.M. shift change.

The DON reported there had been a recent change to the way the emergency box narcotics were counted and some nurses must not have been aware of the need to ensure the box remained secured. The facility identified ten Residents (#2, #5, #23, #27, #31, #34, #37, #38, #42, and #294) prescribed Ativan, a narcotic medication. Review of facility Controlled Substances Police revised December 2012 revealed nursing staff must count controlled medications at the end of each shift.
