F 0624 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few the facility. The Administrator stated that once the facility was aware of the problem, Resident #3's pharmacy was contacted regarding refilling the prescription. Interview on 11/02/24 at 10:25 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #205, the nurse who discharged Resident #3, confirmed she did look in the refrigerator for Resident #3's remaining Mounjaro injections and therefore the unused Mounjaro was not provided to Resident #3 upon Resident #3's discharge. LPN #205 did not look for the remaining doses of Mounjaro because Resident #3 received a Mounjaro injection the day before. LPN #205 stated the injections were scheduled once weekly so she figured the prescription would be filled by the resident after discharge. Interview on 11/02/24 at 11:33 A.M. with the owner of Resident #3's pharmacy revealed he did not refill the Mounjaro prior to 10/11/24 because the refill was dated 10/24/24. However, after contacting Resident #3's insurance company and the nursing home's pharmacy the pharmacist was able to override the prescription and refill the medication. Review of the facility policy titled, Discharge Process for Planned Discharges, dated 2018 revealed all medications except for controlled medications were to be provided to the resident at discharge. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00158955.
