Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure medications at bedside were properly
labeled and securely stored for one of 29 sampled residents (Resident 37) and ensure the medication
refrigerator at the nursing station was locked and secure.
These deficient practices had the potentials of unauthorized access to medications including controlled
substances, and/or medication errors, that may affect residents' health conditions.
Findings
1. A review of Resident 37's admission Record, indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/6/2019
with diagnoses including Parkinson's Disease (disorder of the central nervous system that affects
movement), anxiety disorder (feelings of worry, fear that interfere with daily activities) and major depressive
disorder (depressed mood and long-term loss of pleasure or interest in life).
A review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized care screening and assessment tool)
dated 3/11/2021, indicated Resident 37's cognition (ability to learn, understand, reason, and make
decisions of daily living) was intact. The same MDS indicated Resident 37 required supervision with bed
mobility, surface transfer, and required limited assistance with dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
2. A review of the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 31 on 12/10/2020 with
diagnoses including hyperlipidemia (abnormal fat levels in the blood), major depressive disorder, and
vascular dementia (is a loss of mental ability severe enough to interfere with normal activities of daily
living).
A review of Resident 31's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 31's cognition for daily decision making
was moderately impaired.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 4/5/2021 at 8:45 a.m., Optimum Zinc Sulfate, 220
milligrams (mg), Ascorbic Acid, 500 mg, Magnesium oxide, 400 mg, Calcium 500 mg and Vitamin D4, 400
international unit (IU), medications were observed on a common shelf between Resident 37's and Resident
31's beds and were not labelled with a resident's name. In a concurrent interview, Resident 31 stated, the
medications belonged to her.
During an interview on 4/5/2021 at 12:34, RN Supervisor (RN Sup) verified and stated the medications
belonged to Resident 37 and that the resident self-medicates. RN Supervisor further stated the medications
were not labelled with Resident 37's name. The RN Sup stated a negative outcome of not having the
medications labeled is the other resident in the room may take the medications.
A review of the facility's undated policy and procedure titled, Self-Administration of Medications, indicated,
Self-administered medications must be stored in a safe and secure place, which is not accessible by other
residents .

method of hand hygiene is with an alcohol-based hand rub. If hands are not visibly soiled, use an
alcohol-based hand rub containing 60-95% ethanol or isopropanol for Before and after direct contact with
residents after contact with a resident's intact skin, after contact with objects In the immediate vicinity of the
resident, and after removing gloves. Wear personal protective equipment as necessary to prevent exposure
