The MAR reflected Resident #3 was administered her Diazepam Oral Tablet 2 mg scheduled on 12/05/2024 at 1500 (03:00 p.m.) by MA A. The MAR did not notate the times of administration.

During an interview on 12/06/2024 at 02:01 p.m., the DON stated the procedure for documenting a scheduled controlled medication would be to punch out the medication and immediately sign it out on the narcotics sheet (Controlled Substance Administration Record). He stated that the staff member would administer the medication and would then document in the eMAR (electronic Medication Administration Record) that the medication was given. He stated that for the narcotics sheet, the staff member would sign their name, document the amount given, the time the medication was given, and subtract the amount given to document a running total of the medication remaining. The DON stated for the time documented, the staff member should be putting the time that they are giving the medication. The DON stated the importance for documenting the time a medication was given would be that medications can only be given every so often and it would be nice to know exactly when a medication was given to ensure compliance. The DON stated that for scheduled medications, not having the exact time of administration would probably not impact the resident because the medications are scheduled with enough time between each administration to avoid non-compliance. The DON stated he had just started an in-service for the nurses and medication aides on 12/04/2024 regarding documentation of administration. The DON stated MA A was missing on the in-service document. During an interview on 12/06/2024 at 03:27 p.m., MA A stated he had not been trained on how to fill out the Controlled Substance Administration Records. He stated that he documented the date of administration, the time the medication was scheduled to be administrated, the count of the medication after subtracting the amount (number of tablets or capsules) he administered, and his signature. He stated the time that he enters on the record is the time the eMAR noted the medication was scheduled for. Record review of an in-service titled Shift-to-Shift Narcotics Count and dated 12/04/2024, revealed the objective for the in-service: A shift-to-shift narcotics count must be performed during shift change. Both individuals must be able to visualize the card of meds & the count sheets. Both individuals (i.e. 2 nurses, or nurse & CMA) must sign the sheet at this time. Missing signatures are not acceptable & will lead to disciplinary action, up to & including termination. The card/bottle item count sheet must also be performed. Do not remove zeroed out cards, & meds that are for discharged residents. The DON/ADON are the only ones to remove these items. The in-service document was signed by 2 RNs, 6 LVNs, and 2 CMAs. MA A's signature was not on the in-service document. Record review of facility policy, Controlled Substances, dated revised November 2022, revealed: Policy Statement The facility complies with all laws, regulations, and other requirements related to handling, storage, disposal, and documentation of controlled medications (listed as Schedule II-V of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1976).
