Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of facility policy Resident Protection From Abuse, Neglect, Mistreatment or Exploitation dated 12/1/23, indicated misappropriation of resident property means the deliberate misplacement, exploitation, or wrongful temporary or permanent use of a resident's belongings or money without the resident's consent.

All investigations will be conducted thoroughly and will attempt to gather as much factual information as possible. Review of facility policy Management of Controlled Drugs dated 12/1/23, indicated to destroy the drug with another licensed staff member as witness. Staff member designated as witness to the destruction must actually witness the waste. Document the reason for the destruction on the controlled drug inventory in the space for that dose.

Perform a complete count of all controlled drugs at the change of shifts or at any time in which narcotic keys are surrendered from one staff member to another. Count must be performed by two licensed nurses per state regulations. Both licensed nurses participating in the count must sign the individual inventory at the time of the count. If discrepancy is noted during the count, notify nursing supervisor immediately to initiate investigation. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R37 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
