Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of facility policy, clinical records, incident investigations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents are free from misappropriation of property for four of nine residents (Resident R1, R2, R3, and R4). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Review of the facility policy Abuse, Neglect, & Misappropriation dated 7/31/24, previously reviewed 12/15/23, defined misappropriation of resident property as the deliberate misplacement, exploitation, or wrongful, temporary, or permanent use of a resident's belongings or money without the resident's consent.

Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - periodic assessment of care needs) dated 6/3/24, included diagnoses of chronic kidney disease (gradual loss of kidney function), muscle weakness, and care needed after surgical amputation. Review of Section C revealed Resident R1's BIMS score to be 15.

It was reported that [Resident R1] received PRN (as needed) pain meds at 4:30 a.m., but the resident denied receiving them when [RN Employee E2] inquired. Upon learning of this situation, the narcotic medication book was inspected for accuracy. Patterns with the off going nurse, [LPN Employee E1], were apparent. Another resident [Resident R2], also seem to have a questionable med administration documented. I went to talk to [Resident R1], who is alert and oriented. He, again, stated that he had not received any pain medications this morning. I asked him if he received any pain medications throughout the night, he responded no. I asked him if he had received any pain medications last evening, he admitted to taking pain meds sometime around dinner. Between approximately 4pm and 4:30 am, [Resident R1] had four administrations documented by [LPN Employee E1]. After speaking with this resident, I went to speak with [Resident R2], who is also alert and oriented.

I asked her when the last time was that she took her oxycodone. She said sometime over the weekend. I asked her specifically if she received the pain medications last night, she responded no. [LPN Employee E1] documented the administration of [Resident R2's] narcotics at approximately 9:00 p.m. last night.
