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, facility documents, 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 one of five residents (Resident R46).Findings include: Review of the facility policy Prohibition and Prevention of Resident Abuse, Neglect, Exploitations, Mistreatment, or Misappropriation of Resident Property dated 12/9/25, indicated residents are protected and to ensure the safety and security of residents who are involved in misappropriation of resident property. Review of the facility policy Narcotic Count Education dated 12/9/25, indicated if a discrepancy if found, recheck the numbers, check the resident's order sheers and chart to see if a narcotic has been administered and not recorded., Check previous recording on the control sheets for mistakes in arithmetic.

The nurse on duty, during her medication pass, discovered and recognized the discrepancy based on her prior verification and signature acknowledging receipt of three 30-count cards of oxycodone at the time of pharmacy delivery on a previous night that she was on duty. The nurse subsequently checked the cards again and observed that only two of the three cards, were present in narcotic drawer on 1.6.26.
