Record review of Resident #1's MAR with a run date of [DATE] revealed Resident #1 did not receive her 8
AM, 12 PM, 4 PM, and 8 PM doses of morphine as ordered due to the medication being unavailable.
Record review of the facility's investigation into Resident #1's missing morphine revealed the bottle of
morphine was discovered missing at change of shift the morning of [DATE] when night nurse, RN D asked
on-coming day nurse, LVN E to help her fax triplicate requests for a refill on Resident #1's morphine. 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. She
stated she and LVN C counted the cart together before she took it and again when LVN C came

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.

could have increased pain and medical concerns.
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:03 AM RN D stated regarding Resident #1's bottle of morphine that
was missing from her cart, I don't even remember the bottle being there, I will be honest. I know they said it
came a few days before and I don't have a clue what happened to it. I don't remember even counting it. I did
not take it and I will lay my life on that. I know another nurse told me we counted it together one of the days

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations involving
abuse, neglect, exploitation or mistreatment including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of
resident property are reported immediately, but not later than 24 hours if the events that cause the
allegation do not involved abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury to the administrator of the facility
and to other officials (including to the State Survey Agency and adult protective services where state law
provides for jurisdiction in long-term care facilities) in accordance with State law through established
procedures for 1 (Resident #2) of 5 residents reviewed for abuse/neglect.
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 Resident #2's admission MDS completed on 03/27/24 revealed a BIMS of 00 which
indicated severely impaired cognition. Section GG revealed Resident #2 was independently ambulatory and
utilized a walker. Section N indicated Resident #2 was not taking an anticoagulant (blood thinning)
medication.

anticoagulation therapy as one of the approaches which was created on 04/25/24. A problem area with a
start date of 04/15/24 stated Resident #2 had potential to bruise easily due to daily use of aspirin. Resident
#2 was noted to have impaired cognition due to dementia and to habitually wander throughout the facility.
Record review of Resident #2's active orders dated 04/25/24 revealed an order for aspirin delayed release
81 mg once a day in the morning with a start date of 03/13/24.
Record review of Resident #2's progress notes dated 04/29/24 revealed the following:
A progress note dated 04/14/24 at 10:35 AM written by LVN H which stated Resident #2 had bruising to her

A progress note dated 04/15/24 at 11:28 AM written by DON which stated he was notified of the bruise to
Resident #2's chest and called the Nurse Practitioner and family member of Resident #2 to inform them of
the bruise.
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

the bruise to her chest. 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.
During an interview on 04/25/24 at 12:02 PM CNA K stated she recently received an in-service on reporting

During an interview on 04/29/24 at 12:46 PM LVN H stated Resident #2 was at the nurses' station in a
nightgown with a V-shaped collar on 04/15/24. She stated one of the CNAs told her about the bruise, so
she looked at it and documented it in the progress notes. She stated the bruise was long and narrow. LVN
H stated she received an in-service over the phone the next day about how to document and report injuries
of unknown source.
During an interview on 04/29/24 at 03:00 PM CNA Q stated she had worked for the facility for 5 days. She
stated she was trained to report injuries of unknown source to her charge nurse but if her charge nurse did
respond she was to report to the other nurse on duty, ADON, DON, or ADM.
During an interview on 04/29/24 at 03:02 PM LVN G stated she would access an injury of unknown source
and then report it to ADON, DON, or ADM. She stated not reporting or documenting an injury of unknown
source correctly could cause it to get worse as staff would not know to keep an eye on it.
During an interview on 04/29/24 at 03:05 PM ADON stated a possible negative outcome of staff not
reporting and documenting injuries of unknown source correctly was resident's family members might think
they are being abused.
During an interview on 04/29/24 at 03:06 PM CNA L stated a possible negative outcome of not reporting
injuries of unknown source was, A patient could be hurt, and the state could get called. She stated she
would report an injury of unknown source to her charge nurse, ADON, DON, or ADM.
During an interview on 04/29/24 at 03:10 PM ADM stated she expected her staff to report injuries of
unknown origin to their supervisors and the supervisors would report to her as she was the Abuse
Prevention Coordinator. She stated since Resident #2's bruise she, ADON, and DON had in-serviced all
staff on how to document and report injuries of unknown origin and changes of condition. She stated a
possible negative outcome of staff not reporting injuries of unknown origin was further injury to the resident.
