F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. Based on closed clinical record review, review of select policies and procedures, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure the proper safety and security of medication dispensing for one of three residents reviewed (Resident CR1). Findings include: The policy entitled Storage of Medications, last reviewed on January 20, 2024, indicates that the medication supply is accessible only to licensed nursing personnel or staff members lawfully authorized to administer medications. The policy entitled Administration Procedures for all Medications, last reviewed on January 20, 2024, does not include written guidance ensuring that the licensed nurse who pours the medication should also be the same person who administers the medication. Review of Resident CR1's closed clinical record revealed that the facility admitted her on January 8, 2024, for end-of-life care. A physician's order dated January 11. 2024, indicated that nursing staff were to administer Morphine (a narcotic pain reliever) 20 mg (milligrams) per ml (milliliters) .25 ml (milliliters) every one hour as needed for terminal distress. Interview on January 25, 2024, at 10:15 AM with Employee 1, licensed practical nurse, revealed that on the weekend of January 13, 2024, or January 14, 2024, she prepared a dose of Resident CR1's morphine and handed the syringe to Employee 2, licensed practical nurse, to administer. Employee 2 was visiting a dying family member but on medical leave from the facility and not working when Employee 1 let her administer the morphine to Resident CR1. Employee 1 did not safely ensure the correct dispensing of Resident CR1's morphine. Interview with the Administrator and Director of Nursing on January 25, 2024, at 2:30 PM confirmed the above findings. 28 Pa. Code 211.9 (a)(1)(c)(k) Pharmacy services 28 Pa.
