Record review of Resident #5's most recent quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was moderately cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills, experienced pain occasionally, and received opioid medications. Record review of Resident #5's comprehensive care plan with revision dated 1/30/25 revealed the resident had acute/chronic pain related to surgical incision/wound with interventions that included to administer analgesics as ordered, anticipate the resident's need for pain relief and respond immediately to any complaint of pain.

During an interview on 3/7/2025 at 11:37AM the DON said from his understanding that 2 residents with a low BIMS score and there was no injury, then it was not reportable but if there was serious injury, then it would be reportable. He said because both residents assessed Resident #3 from head to toe and assessed his psychosocial well-being. and found no harm, The DON said Resident #3 told him he was fine and for him to turn off the light, he wanted to go back to sleep and that guy (Resident #4) was crazy.

During an interview on 3/8/25 at 8:26 a.m., RN I stated the process for avoiding a drug diversion required for nursing staff to count the narcotics in the medication cart with the next shift to ensure the medications were accounted for. RN I further stated, if there was a discrepancy with the narcotic count, the incoming nurse would not accept the keys to the medication cart and report to the DON for an investigation. RN I stated, a (narcotic) count is done every time (at shift change). During an interview on 3/8/25 at 9:05 a.m., Med Aide J stated, the process for avoiding a drug diversion required for the nursing staff to count the narcotics in the medication cart with the next shift to ensure the medications were accounted for. Med Aide J stated, I would never accept the keys (to the medication cart) from somebody who did not count (narcotics) with me, you never know what they did. Not acceptable. Med Aide J stated she was not allowed to given pain medications when needed because only a nurse can make the assessment but was allowed to administer scheduled pain medications. During an interview on 3/8/25 at 9:31 a.m., the DON stated, our policy, when narcotics are delivered, two nurses must sign for it (the narcotic delivery). The DON further stated, the delivery sheet/manifest (a detailed list of the items delivered) had to be signed by two nurses and then the delivery sheet/manifest would be filed in the medical records box after the medications were received.

RN G stated the file for the delivery sheet/manifest had been gone for a while and (the delivery sheet/manifest) have been going to the shredder. I can't say if that was a good idea. RN G stated, the DON had only been employed since last year, so it's not like everybody has been doing that (checking for the delivery sheet/manifest), we used to file all that stuff, but then they (the file) disappeared. Residents Affected - Few During a telephone interview on 3/8/25 at 1:45 p.m., LVN F stated protocol for accepting a medication delivery, including narcotics would be to sign for the delivery on the pharmacy delivery driver's phone and then she would sign the delivery sheet/manifest. LVN F stated, the delivery sheet/manifest were supposed to be filed and it was a reference to show the medications were delivered. LVN F stated, the narcotic log once completed or the delivery sheet/manifest were never placed in the shredder, that is not protocol. During an interview on 3/8/25 at 2:00 p.m., LVN H stated, once the pharmacy delivered medications, including narcotics, the receiving nurse signed electronically for the delivery on the pharmacy delivery driver's phone, and then the delivery sheet/manifest was supposed to be signed by two nurses confirming the order of medication was received. LVN H stated, the delivery sheet/manifest was filed in a binder that was at the nurse's station. LVN H stated, we have always had that binder, it has never gone away. LVN H stated, then the narcotic log was supposed to be signed by two nurses and placed in the narcotic log and the medication was stored in the locked box in the medication cart. LVN H stated it was not acceptable for one person to sign the narcotic sheet because a second person was needed to witness the medication was received. LVN H stated, once the narcotic log was zeroed out (completed) and the narcotic log was marked zero, I would take the narcotic log and place it in the medical records box and then throw the empty med card/blister pack away but tear the resident's information and put in the shredder and the empty blister pack was thrown in the trash. LVN H further stated, I would say the packing slips (delivery sheet/manifest) need to be saved, but the pharmacy has proof when we signed their phone that the product was delivered. During an interview on 3/8/25 at 3:44 p.m., the ADON stated it was facility protocol, when the pharmacy delivered medications, including narcotics, the delivery sheet/manifest was supposed to be signed by one nurse for regular medications and two nurses for the narcotics. The ADON stated, once the delivery sheet/manifest was signed by two nurses, it was supposed to be delivered to the ADON to audit for signatures. The ADON stated, we do know we lost medications. I think part of the failure of the process was when the nurses stopped being accountable for the packing slips. But when you are no longer held accountable for what you receive that could be a very big problem. If the resident did not receive their medications when they needed them because they were unavailable their pain could not have been controlled and that is a serious problem. During a telephone interview on 3/9/25 at 4:12 p.m., RN D stated, protocol for receiving medications, including narcotics were for the nurse receiving the medications to electronically sign for them on the pharmacy driver's phone. RN D stated, then the medication packets were opened, check what was delivered and then double check the delivery with a second nurse. RN D stated the count sheets (narcotic logs) were supposed to be signed by two nurses and placed in the narcotic log with the medication cart and place the narcotics in the lock box inside the medication cart. RN D stated she typically took the delivery sheet/manifest and placed it in the shred box. RN D stated, I was never told what to do with it (the delivery sheet/manifest) so I just put it in the shred box, whether it was a narcotic or regular medication. I've never worked like that before, so it was pretty much I didn't know what to do with it, had never been told what to do with it and just put it in the shredder box.
