F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure care and services were provided in accordance with professional standards of practice for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 1). Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: Review of facility policy, titled Controlled Drugs, Accountability and Responsibility, updated November 30, 2018, revealed The Controlled Drug Record, specific to the drug being administered, is to be signed by the nurse at the time the drug is given to avoid medication errors and discrepancies. Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) and hypotension (low blood pressure). Review of Resident 1's physician orders revealed an order for oxycodone (narcotic pain medication), 2.5 mg (milligrams) every four hours as needed for moderate pain and oxycodone, 5 mg, every four hours as needed for severe pain. Review of Resident 1's controlled drug record for the oxycodone (a form used to maintain accurate records of all controlled substances that are being administered) revealed a signature for the nurse dispensing the medication, the date, time and amount dispensed, and the amount of medication remaining. Further review of the form revealed 17 times the oxycodone was documented as being dispensed, between March 4, 2025, and April 14, 2025. Review of Resident 1's MARs (medication administration record), dated March 2025 and April 2025, revealed only eight times that the oxycodone was signed off as being given. Further review of the MAR revealed that two of the eight administrations were documented on the MAR well after the time that the oxycodone was documented as being dispensed; and three of the eight administrations were documented as being administered prior to the time documented as being dispensed. Review of the oxycodone drug record revealed the oxycodone was signed out as being dispensed on the following dates and times, with review of the corresponding [DATE] for those dates and times: March 4 at 11:00 PM- not signed off on the MAR as being administered; (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
