LVN E had visualized the full bottle of morphine the day before. RN D told LVN E the bottle was not there any longer. The two of them looked in the medication cart and found the bottle missing as well as the sheet of paper in the narcotics book which documented the signing in and out of the cart and medication counts at shift changes regarding Resident #1's morphine. RN D then told ADON she was digging in the dumpster behind the facility looking for the bottle of morphine and she was going to go over all of her steps from the night before to be sure she did not leave the bottle anywhere in the facility. RN D told ADM she took the cart from LVN C the evening of [DATE]. ADM interviewed LVN C and she stated the bottle of morphine was in the cart each and every time she counted the cart. The facility investigation indicated the local police department was called and came out to investigate the missing morphine. Record review of Resident #1's progress notes revealed no information regarding the missing bottle of morphine. A progress noted dated [DATE] at 09:13 PM written by LVN F revealed Resident #1's family members inquired about her morphine arriving earlier that day. LVN F told family that the morphine was not in the facility, and she called HRN B who was on-call for hospice that evening and HRN B stated she would pick up the morphine and bring it to the facility. During an interview on [DATE] at 09:20 PM ADON stated the morphine was found to be missing when an agency nurse was counting with a facility nurse and the agency nurse realized it was not there. ADON stated she was 99.99% certain RN D took the morphine, but she had no proof. She stated RN D was one of the possible suspects in another drug diversion-that time it was hydrocodone-a few months ago but they had no proof RN D took the drugs at that time either. She said RN D was currently on suspension from the facility related to an altercation between two residents that RN D failed to report. ADON stated nurses were responsible for medications in the facility. ADON stated this was why nurses sign in and out on the medication carts with each other there to ensure nothing is missed. She stated the facility called the police department when they learned of the missing morphine and the police came to the facility and took a report. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:03 AM Resident #1's family member stated Resident #1's morphine was taken from the facility and she was 12-24 hours without a dose. He stated two other family members of Resident #1 were in the facility when the morphine was found to be missing and they were told about the missing morphine. He stated they did not notice Resident #1 showing signs of being in pain. He stated they were with her 24 hours a day 7 days a week at that point. During an interview on [DATE] at 02:11 PM LVN E stated she worked on [DATE] and during that shift she took the medication cart containing Resident #1's morphine from LVN C during LVN C's lunch break.

F 0602 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few back from her lunch break. LVN E stated during the time she had the cart HRN A came to the facility and the two of them took the bottle of morphine out of the cart to visualize it and ensure Resident #1 had enough of the prescription. LVN E stated she worked the morning of [DATE] and when she came to work, she saw RN D attempting to fill out triplicate orders for Resident #1 for morphine. LVN E said she expressed surprise because there was a whole bottle yesterday. At that time RN D told LVN E there was no bottle in the cart. LVN E stated, The bottle and the paper were missing so there was no way to track who had it last. During an interview on [DATE] at 03:02 PM LVN C stated Resident #1's bottle of morphine was on her medication cart on [DATE] when she left the cart with RN D around 9:30 or 10 PM. During an interview on [DATE] at 12:51 PM HRN A stated she called the hospice doctor on [DATE] at 12:44 PM and explained the bottle of morphine was missing and asked him to sign a new order. She said she tried sending an order through, but the DEA would not let it go through because it was being refilled too soon. HRN A stated she and the doctor then changed the dose of morphine from .2 to .25 and at that point the Pharm P told her they would deliver the medication. She stated she was not sure when the medication was delivered. She stated her notes indicated the facility called hospice on-call on [DATE] at 08:42 PM and the message was read by on-call nurse HRN B at 08:47 PM and HRN B ordered the medication on [DATE] at 09:16 PM. HRN A stated she did not think Resident #1 was affected by missing doses of her morphine. She said she had instructed facility staff that if Resident #1 was sleeping or was not responsive they could hold the dose and document. She stated she was surprised Resident #1 did not pass away sooner as she was in the active stage of dying. During an interview on [DATE] at 02:30 PM HRN B stated she dropped off the new bottle of morphine for Resident #1 to the facility between 12 and 12:30 AM on [DATE]. During an interview on [DATE] at 03:02 PM LVN G stated nurses and medication aides were responsible for maintaining secure storage of medication. During an interview on [DATE] at 03:05 PM ADON stated it was the responsibility of nurses to maintain secure storage of resident's medication. During an interview on [DATE] at 03:10 PM ADM stated it was the responsibility of nurses to maintain secure storage of medications. She stated the facility's investigation into the missing morphine revealed the sign in and out sheet used by the nurses when turning the cart and narcotics over to one another was missing as well making it impossible to determine which nurse had the morphine last. During an interview on [DATE] at 03:50 PM LVN F stated HRN B delivered the new bottle of morphine to the facility at about 12:30 AM on [DATE]. During an interview on [DATE] at 04:19 PM LVN G stated a possible negative outcome of morphine being misappropriated was someone could drink the whole bottle thinking it was something else. During an interview on [DATE] at 04:23 PM CNA L stated a possible negative outcome of morphine being misappropriated was it could cause behaviors and the patient suffers and can be in pain. During an interview on [DATE] at 04:24 PM ADON stated a resident's morphine being misappropriated was abuse and inappropriate all around.

The facility failed to report an injury of unknown origin (bruising to Resident #2's chest) to the administrator and to the state within 24 hours. This failure could place residents at risk of not having incidents of possible abuse and neglect reviewed and investigated in a timely manner by the facility and state survey agency. This could place residents at risk of continued and/or unrecognized abuse or neglect. Findings included: Record review of Resident #2's admission record dated 04/25/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, congestive heart failure (a progressive heart disease that affects the pumping action of the heart muscles resulting in shortness of breath and fatigue), atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow), dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (inflammation of lung tissue due to non-infectious causes, which results in cough without mucus or phlegm, shortness of breath, and fatigue), and chronic kidney disease (longstanding disease of the kidneys leading to kidney failure).

Record review of facility's investigation of Resident #2's bruise revealed it was reported to State authorities on 04/15/24 at 01:32 PM. Staff interviews attached to the facility's investigation revealed two CNAs and one LVN noticed the bruise on the evening of 04/13/24 but did not report it to anyone or document it in the progress notes. Staff interviews also revealed 3 CNAs, 1 LVN, and 1 RN noticed the bruise on Sunday 04/14/24. The LVN was LVN H. She recorded the bruise and its measurements in the progress notes. Record review of facility's in-service for staff on reporting following the failure to report Resident #2's bruise revealed a sign-in sheet attached to facility's Abuse/Neglect policy. This policy did not include any information regarding reporting of abuse or neglect. The policy skipped from point IV to point VII. This page was requested from ADM on 05/02/24 via email at 11:18 AM. ADM failed to provide missing information from the policy. During an interview on 04/24/24 at 08:51 PM CNA I stated she received an in-service over the phone regarding who to report injuries of unknown source to when she noticed any on a resident.

She stated she noticed Resident #2 scratching her chest in the dining room a few days before the bruise was discovered. During an interview on 04/24/24 at 09:20 PM ADON stated when staff notice an injury of unknown source like Resident #2's bruise, They should report it to abuse coordinator as soon as they see it. She said ADM was the abuse coordinator. She stated the facility in-serviced all staff following the failure to report Resident #2's bruise. She stated the in-service included who to tell about injuries of unknown source and how to properly document the injury by creating an event in the EHR. During an observation on 04/25/24 at 08:33 AM Resident #2 was lying on her back on her bed which was in lowest position with HOB slightly raised. During an interview on 04/25/24 at 11:33 AM Resident #2's family member stated she had no concerns with the care the facility provided. She stated Resident #2's bruise seemed to be from lying on her side to sleep as it was a line down her sternum. Resident #2's family member stated Resident #2 bruised very easily and mentioned a bruise on Resident #2's hand from a recent stay in the hospital and an IV she had while there.
