F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to implement its pharmaceutical policies and procedures in the accurate documentation of controlled substances when: Residents Affected - Few 1. The Controlled Drug Record (CDR, count sheet where licensed nurses (LNs) sign accountability for controlled medications) count sheet and Medication Administration Record (MAR) were not signed by a LN after administering a controlled PRN (as needed) pain medication to Resident 2 and Resident 3. 2. Incomplete CDR count sheets were found in the narcotic books. These failures resulted in a controlled medications count discrepancy which may increase the potential risk for medication errors or possible drug diversion. Findings: A review of Resident 2's clinical record indicated Resident 2 was admitted in May 2023 with diagnoses including a joint replacement infection following a surgery due to internal hip prosthesis, on intravenous antibiotic (a medicine that fights infection delivered into a vein through injection). Resident 2 had the capacity to make their own health care decisions with a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status, an assessment tool) score of 15, which indicated he was cognitively intact. During a review of Resident 2's Physician Order Report (POR) for the month of June 2023, the POR indicated Resident 2 had several orders for pain medication including hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10-325 mg (milligram, a unit of measure) given every 6 hours as needed, 1/2 tablet for moderate pain (4-6/10 pain scale); 1 tablet for severe pain (7-10/10 pain scale). During a concurrent observation and review of Resident 2's CDR count sheet for hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10-325 mg PRN order, the CDR count sheet revealed the total [1/2] tablets signed out was 18. The bubble pack which contains the actual medication supply was checked and had 16 tablets only. The tally between the CDR count sheet and the actual number of medications in the bubble pack did not match, two 1/2 tablets were removed from the controlled storage but were not signed out. During a concurrent interview and record review on, 6/14/23 at 12:37 p.m., with LN 1, LN 1 verified the CDR count sheet for Resident 2's hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg PRN order and the actual count of the medication in the bubble pack did not match, two 1/2 tablets were not signed out. Oh, I gave it but forgot to sign it out on the count sheet, and added she gave the 2 tablets around 9 a.m. A review of Resident 2's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the month of June 2023, the MAR (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few with the hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg PRN order revealed two [1/2] tablets were given on 6/14/23 at 9:07 a.m., but not signed out on the CDR count sheet. During a concurrent interview and record review on, 6/14/23 at 1:15 p.m., with Nurse Manager (NM), NM confirmed the CDR count sheet for Resident 2's hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325mg PRN order and the actual number of medications in the bubble pack did not match. NM further stated LNs should sign out controlled medications on the CDR count sheet when the medication is removed from the controlled storage. The CDR count sheet and the actual number of supplies in the bubble pack should match. During a review of Resident 3's clinical records, it indicated, Resident 3 was recently admitted to the facility with diagnoses including stroke (disrupted blood flow to the brain cells causes parts of the brain to die) with hemiparesis (inability to move one side of the body). The Resident had a BIMS score of 15 meaning their cognition was still intact. Resident 3 required extensive assistance in performing activities of daily living (ADLs). During a review of Resident 3's POR for June 2023, it indicated Resident 3 had an order for hydrocodone schedule II 5-325 mg tablet (generic for brand name Norco), give 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed for severe pain. During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 3's MAR, Resident 3 received 1 tablet hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg on 6/10/2023 at 2:07 [02:07] a.m. and 1 tablet at 6:28 [18:28] p.m. The CDR count sheet for the said medication revealed it was signed one time only on 6/10/23 at 12 [2400] midnight. The MAR and the CDR count sheet did not match the number of times the medication was administered and the period it was given. Also found attached to the CDR count sheet was a note which indicated, 6/10/23 NOC shift nurse didn't chart Norco at midnight in MAR. LN 1 verified a post-it note was attached to the CDR count sheet, but did not pay attention to the note when she counted the narcotics with the night (NOC) shift LN. During a concurrent interview and record review on, 6/14/23 at 2:30 p.m., with NM, NM verified the MAR and the CDR count sheet for Resident 3's hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg order did not match. NM stated LNs should always make sure to sign both the MAR and the CDR count sheet when giving controlled medications to minimize incidence of medication errors. NM insisted she did not know who wrote the note found attached to the CDR count sheet. During an inspection of the green unit and purple unit narcotic book with LN 2 on, 6/14/23 at 2:35 p.m., documents revealed several incomplete CDR count sheets. The CDR count sheets were not filled out completely to indicate the actual total number of medications received, the date it was received, and the staff who received it. LN 2 indicated the CDR count sheet should be completed by the staff who received it. During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/14/23, at 3:12 p.m., NM confirmed the CDRs were not filled out properly/completely by the LN who received it and stated, LNs should complete the count sheets before putting it in the narcotic book. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Medication Administration Controlled Medications dated 11/2017, the P&P indicated When controlled medication is administered, the licensed nurse administering the medication immediately enters the following information on the accountability record when removing dose from controlled storage: a. Date and time of administration b. amount administered c. Signature of the nurse administering the dose.
