The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's OxyContin Oral Tablet ER 12-hour abuse-deterrent 10mg-28 count was accounted for at the time of receiving from the facility's Pharmacy on 05/02/2025.

In an interview/observation on 5/21/2025 at 11:22 AM, Resident #1 was lying in his bed, his head slightly raised. Resident #1 stated he had not missed any of his pain medication and had not experienced any distress. In an interview on 05/21/2025 at 11: 40 AM, the ADM stated that she was unsure if Resident #1's medication was received the evening of 5/2/2025 because it was not accurately received by LVN A or accurately dropped off by pharmacy driver. The ADM stated this failure could cause a resident to need his medication and not have it. The ADM stated she was responsible to ensure her staff was aware of accurately receiving medications and was unsure if the medication ever arrived at the facility due to the inproper count of the receipt of medications the night of 5/2/25. In an interview on 5/21/2025 at 6:20 PM, LVN A stated she was the nurse responsible for signing for the OxyContin Oral Tablet ER 12-hour abuse-deterrent 10mg delivered by the Pharmacy. LVN A stated the night on 5/2/2025 the pharmacy driver dropped of the crate with the medications and when she had time she would count the medications against the pharmacy list. LVN A stated the pharmacy driver would come back and pick up the empty crate along with the signed medication check list. LVN A stated the night on 5/2/2025 she and LVN B were the two nurses on duty, she stated they were busy and is unsure what happened. LVN A stated after she would check the medications in, she would put them a plastic bag and she and LVN B would distribute the medications to the unit the resident lived on. LVN A stated she was unsure if the medication was in the bag and is unsure if the medication was even delivered. LVN A stated LVN B was the one responsible for the medications for Resident #1's unit. LVN A stated she did not have LVN B sign any paper that he received the OxyContin Oral Tablet ER 12-hour abuse-deterrent 10mg for Resident #1. LVN A stated a possible negative outcome for not ensuring the medications were distributed accurately would be a resident could go without their medication. LVN A stated she was responsible for this incident because her signature was on the pharmacy checklist as she received it. In an observation on 05/21/2025 at 10:45 PM, LVN A was sitting at the nurses station and the pharmacy driver was standing outside the nurses station observing LVN A count the medications in, she was checking the medication and putting a checkmark next to the medication and the resident's name accounting for that medication. During the counting of the medication, an observation was made of four medications that were on the list but not present and LVN A circled the medication name and wrote missing next to the medication, she had the pharmacy driver initial next to the medication and her note that the medication was missing.
