Honor the resident's right to be treated with respect and dignity and to retain and use personal
possessions.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, facility staff failed to treat three out of 24 sampled residents with dignity
(Residents 6, 82, and 408) when these residents have to wait 30-45 minutes for staff to answer their
request/call light for assistance.
Failure to answer a resident's call light in a timely manner did not ensure these residents were treated in a
dignified manner.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 6's Minimum Data Set(MDS-an assessment tool) dated 11/09/2023, indicated he
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], had multiple diagnoses including: respiratory failure, obesity, kidney
failure leading to dialysis, wound near the tail bone. His MDS indicated he has a urinary catheter and was
incontinent of bowel.
During an interview on 02/06/2024 at 10:04 AM. Resident 6's responsible party stated .my dad would have
a BM and I would be on the phone with him and sometimes it could be as long as 45 minutes before they
get to him. Staff would tell us that they were short staff and that they were taking care of other patients
before they could come help my dad.
2. Review of Resident 408's MDS assessment, dated 11/22/2023, indicated she was admitted to the facility
on [DATE]. Her MDS indicated she had multiple diagnoses including: paraplegia (paralysis of arms or legs),
depression, respiratory problems, anxiety, chronic pain, and arthritis. Her MDS indicated she was always
incontinent (unable to control) of urine and bowel.
During an interview on 01/29/2024 at 12:16 PM, Resident 408 stated she had to wait for 45-30 minutes
(regarding her call lights). she feels that the newly transferred residents were treated like second class
citizens compared to the rest of the residents here.
3. Review of Resident 82's MDS assessment, dated 10/26/2023, indicated he was admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. His MDS indicated he had multiple diagnoses including: cancer, malnutrition, breathing problems,
and stomach feeding tube. His MDS indicated he needed supervision with transfers and sitting to standing.
During an interview on 02/02/2024 at 2:09 PM, Resident 82 stated it could be 5 minutes to 35 minutes for
staff to respond to his call light.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure a shower area was clean after use and two window
screens were missing. Failure to clean a shower after use,and properly maintained window screens did not
ensure residents were provided with a clean, comfortable, homelike environment. Lack of a window screen
has the potential for flying pest to come into a resident's indoor living space.
Findings:
During initial tour with the Director of Nursing(DON) on 1/29/24 at 3:07 PM, the shower room across room
[ROOM NUMBER] was found used and not cleaned:
1.
Strands of hair on the tile floor.
2.
A commode container full of empty plastic personal hygiene product bottles (lotions and shampoo
containers).
3.
A safety razor on the floor.
4.
An opened body wash bottle labelled 211A on the grab bar.
5.
Used plastic gloves in the recessed soap dish.

Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to inform residents about the facility's grievance
process. Seven out of seven sampled residents were not aware of the grievance process (Residents 5, 19,
24, 32, 55, 57, and 72). For Resident 408, the facility failed to complete the resolution review of the
grievance process.
Failure to inform or follow the grievance process, did not ensure concerns from the residents or their
responsible parties were addressed in an appropriate and timely manner.
Findings:
During the resident council meeting with residents on 01/30/2024 at 2:04 PM, Residents 5, 19, 24, 32, 55,
57, and 72 were asked about the facility's grievance process. All seven residents stated they were not
aware the facility had such a process.
During initial rounds on 01/30/2024 at 10:08 AM, Resident 408 stated she had eight boxes of personal
items missing during her transfer to this facility. She stated the facility claimed her friend had all her missing
belongings. She claimed that the facility had been lying about the whereabouts of her belongings.
During an interview on 02/05/2024 at 12:04 PM, Resident 408's friend stated she only had limited
possession of Resident 408's belongings. She stated she does not have eight boxes of Resident 408's
belongings. She stated she has told the facility she does not have these missing items.
During an interview on 02/06/2024 at 3:17 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated they were aware of
Resident 408's missing belongings and filed a Theft & Loss Report. Review of the report with the DON
indicated under Actions(s) Taken & Resolution: (include proof or resolution) .Friend . is in possession of her
belongings . The DON was asked to provide proof that she followed up with Resident 408's friend and/or
Resident 408 to see if the belongings were with the friend and/or Resident 408 was happy with the
resolution. The DON was unable to provide the information requested.
Review of the facility's policy titled Grievance Procedure, revised on 10/23, indicated .The resident will be

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. During an
interview on 02/06/2024 at 10:05 AM, Resident 6 stated he has been a dialysis patient for a long time.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of Resident 6's MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated he was not on hemodialysis. However,
review of Resident 6's care plan indicated he has a dialysis care plan initiated on 03/08/2023.
During an interview on 02/06/2024 at 4:19 PM, the MDS nurse stated the November 2023 MDS
assessment for Resident 6 regarding dialysis was inaccurately coded and she will upload a corrected MDS
later.
3. Record review of Resident 13's MDS dated [DATE], indicated she had three pressure injuries and had a
catheter to manage urinary incontinence.
During an interview on 02/01/24 at 2:16 PM, the MDS nurse stated Resident 13's pressure injuries were
coded incorrectly in her MDS assessment. There was only one pressure injury not three. The RAI manual
clearly states to code skin lesions as pressure injury when both pressure and moisture are present. The
MDS nurse was unable to answer why staff were identifying the sacra wound as a moisture related skin
damage and not a pressure injury.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure assessments for three of 24
sampled residents (Residents 4, 6, and 13) were accurate when;
1. The Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool) for Resident 4's dental assessment was inaccurate.
2. The MDS indicated Resident 6's hemodialysis treatment was inaccurate.
3. The MDS indicated Resident 13 had three pressure ulcers when there was only one.
Failure to complete accurate assessments could potentially harm the residents by not providing needed
care and services to maintain their highest level of functioning.
Findings:
1. Resident 4 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis including hypertension (high blood pressure) and mild
cognitive impairment.
During an observation on 1/30/24 at 12:11 PM, Resident 4's upper denture was placed in a denture cup on
top of an overbed table. Resident 4 then removed her lower denture during mealtime. During a concurrent
interview, Resident 4 stated, I cannot close my mouth and chew when I use it (dentures).
During an interview on 2/7/24 at 10:51 AM, the Social Worker (SW) said, Resident 4 was admitted already
with dentures.
Review of Resident 4's MDS dated [DATE], indicated under oral/dental status, no natural teeth or tooth
fragment(s) was not checked.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 6. During a
concurrent record review and interview on 02/06/2024 at 2:57 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1,
extreme fear monitoring was identified as a target behavior for use of Seroquel (an anti-psychotic
medication). Review of Resident 407's behavioral care plan indicated there was no documentation
regarding extreme fear. LVN 1 stated the extreme fear Resident 407 was experiencing was this feeling that
someone are going to come and get her. LVN 1 confirmed that extreme fear should have been care
planned in Resident 407's care plan.
7. Review of Resident 6's dialysis care plan, initiated on 03/08/2023, indicated staff documented his dialysis
access site as his left arm. While other documents such as physician orders and nursing notes indicated his
dialysis site was on his right arm.
During an interview 02/02/2024 at 2:11 PM, RN 9 was asked to confirm which arm Resident 6's dialysis
access site was on. Confirmation fax from the dialysis center indicated Resident 6's dialysis access site
was on his right arm.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan
(CP) for each resident that included measurable objectives and specific interventions for seven of 24
sampled residents (Residents 4, 7, 70, 78, 38, 407, and 6) when:
1. No individualized person-centered CP was developed for Resident 4's pain due to unfit dentures.
2. No individualized person-centered CP was developed for Resident 7's use of Lovenox (a blood-thinning
drug used to prevent formation of blood clots).
3. No individualized person-centered CP was developed for Resident 70's use of Zolpidem (a medication
primarily used for the treatment of sleeping problems).
4. CP did not reflect the use of gloves, tab and bed alarms for Resident 78.
5. CP did not reflect management of planned weight loss for Resident 38.
6. CP for Resident 407 did not address the specific target behavior (extreme fear) for the use of Seroquel
(an antipsychotic medication).
7. Dialysis CP did not reflect the accurate dialysis access for Resident 6. (Dialysis is a procedure to remove
waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly).
These failures had the potential for not meeting the residents' nursing needs and goals to attain their
highest practicable well-being.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 1/30/24 at 12:11 PM, Resident 4's upper denture was placed in a denture cup
on top of an overbed table. Resident 4 then removed her lower denture during mealtime. During a

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prevent the development of an avoidable
pressure ulcer (PU) for one of 14 sampled residents (Resident 22) when interventions were not
implemented to avoid skin breakdown for Resident 22.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice resulted in the development of Stage 2 PU for Resident 22.
Definition/Stages for Pressure Ulcer/Pressure Injury (also called a bed sore, is an injury to skin and
underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin.
Stage I: Intact skin with a localized area of non-blanchable redness (non-blanchable: redness persists and
does not fade or turn white after removal of fingertip pressure).
Stage II: Partial-thickness loss of skin with exposed upper skin layer. The wound bed is pink. May also
present as an intact or ruptured blister. Fat tissue and deeper tissues (muscle, tendons, bone) are not
visible.
Findings:
Resident 22 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (complete paralysis on one side
of the body) and hemiparesis (partial weakness on one side of the body) and diabetes (abnormally high
sugar level in the blood). The facility assessed Resident 22 as high risk for developing pressure ulcers.
Review of Resident 22's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool) dated 7/6/23 indicated, Resident
22 needed extensive assistance with bed mobility, was always incontinent with bladder and bowel functions,
and had impairment on one side of both upper and lower extremities. Resident 22 had no pressure injuries

The Journal of Legal Nurse Consulting, Volume 23 Spring 2012 indicated, Pressure ulcers occur over bony
prominences like the heels, sacrum, ischial tuberosities (sitting bones) or the greater trochanters (hip
bones). Pressure, coupled with other comorbid states (medical conditions that are simultaneously present
in a patient) such as diabetes, can further complicate treatment and increase risk. Pressure can be
lessened by implementing an appropriate pressure-redistribution support surface to both the seated and
recumbent (lying) surfaces that the patient's body contacts at the first sign of risk.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 4. Review of
Resident 14's record titled Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS: a standardized resident assessment tool),
dated 01/16/2024, indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She was admitted to the facility with
multiple diagnoses including: heart problem, high blood pressure, bladder problem, stroke, paralysis on one
side of her body, breathing problems, and chronic pain. Her MDS indicated she was dependent on staff for
toileting hygiene, transfers, and lower body dressing.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 02/07/2024 at 05:27 PM with the DON. The DON stated
ROM was ordered for Resident 14 every shift. Review of Resident 14's electronic charting indicated there
were documentation omission for 02/01/2024 no day shift, 02/02/2024 no day shift, 02/08/2024 no night
shift or day shift, 01/10/2024 no pm shift, 01/11/2024 no day shift. The DON stated there would be
additional documentation if there were refusals or if the resident was unavailable or if staff were unable to
perform ROM. The DON stated standard of practice was if it is not documented, it was not done.
Review of facility policy titled Range of Motion Exercises last revised on 6/22 indicated, .Range of motion
(ROM) exercises are performed to maintain and improve muscle strength and tone; prevent contractures;
maintain circulatory integrity of the limbs; enhance the utilization of a body part in physical activity and
prevent complications and disability .2. Nursing staff will be responsible for implementing the physician's
order for ROM .Documentation: 1. CNAs will record actions and report any abnormal observations to
licensed nurse .
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide preventive treatment and services to
maintain and improve range of motion (ROM) for four of 14 sampled residents (Residents 12, 22, 38, and
14) when the physician's order for ROM exercises was not implemented.
This deficient practice had the potential to limit the residents' ROM or possible development/worsening of a
contracture.
According to a Medical Dictionary, retrieved from http://medical
dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/range+of+motion+exercise, on 2/16/24, indicated, . Range of motion is one
aspect of exercise important for increasing or maintaining joint function . Passive range of motion is
movement applied to a joint solely by another person or persons or a passive motion machine. When
passive range of motion is applied, the joint of an individual receiving exercise is completely relaxed while
the outside force moves the body part, such as a leg or arm, throughout the available range. Injury, surgery,
or immobilization of a joint may affect the normal joint range of motion .
The Medical Dictionary defines contractures as, the shortening of muscles and joints which limit and
interfere with daily functioning.
Findings:
1. Resident 12 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia ((loss of thinking, reasoning and
remembering skills), cerebral infarction (also known as stroke-damage to the brain from interruption of its
blood supply), hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness or the inability to
move on one side of the body).

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the pharmacy consultant's recommendation for the
use of psychotropic medication was acted upon for one of eight sampled residents (Resident 86).
This failure had the potential for Resident 86 to receive unnecessary psychotropic medications, be exposed
to adverse health consequences from the medications, which could negatively impact the residents' mental,
physical, and psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
Resident 86 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including mood disorder (described by marked
disruptions in emotions), major depressive disorder (medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the
way you think and how you act).
Review of Resident 86's Physician Order Report dated 12/1/23 through 12/31/23 indicated, .Start date
11/27/23 Risperdal (Risperidone) 1 mg 1 tab oral at bedtime .for mood disorder .

indicated, .D (diagnosis): Mood Disorder (need to be more specific): Risperidone 0.5 mg .Irregularities:
Mood Disorder is not an appropriate diagnosis for antipsychotic use .as it may be viewed as a chemical
restraint especially when used in the post-acute care (long term care, skilled nursing facilities) .
Review of Resident 86's Pharmacy Services: MRR dated 12/13/23 indicated, .D: Mood Disorder (need to
be more specific): Risperidone 0.5 mg .Irregularities: Mood Disorder is not an appropriate diagnosis for

During an interview on 2/5/24 at 3:14 PM with Pharmacist 1, Pharmacist 1 said, MRR is done monthly, and
all medications are reviewed. Identified irregularities are communicated to the RN and the physician.
Pharmacist 1 acknowledged that identified irregularities for Resident 86 were uncorrected by the physician.
During an interview on 2/8/24 at 10:17 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON said, identified
irregularities in the MRR is communicated to the physician verbally by the nursing staff and documented in
the progress notes if the physician agrees or disagrees. When queried about the pharmacist's identified
irregularities for Resident 86's use of antipsychotic medication not acted upon by the physician, the DON
stated, Possible missed.

70, and 86) were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications (drugs that affect brain activities
associated with mental processes and behavior) when the facility did not ensure:
1.Resident 409
a. was free from side effects due to the use of Haldol. Haldol is an anti-psychotic drug used to treat
symptoms of psychosis. Symptoms of psychosis includes hallucinations (perceiving sights, sounds, smells,
tastes, or touches that are not real), delusions (false beliefs), and dementia (loss of the ability to think,
remember, learn, make decisions, and solve problems).
b. Aggressive behaviors were managed via non-medication means such as modifying smoking rules.
c. Haldol dosage was not lowered for 96 days when side effects were first identified.
2. Resident 70
a. there was no clinical indication for the use of Citalopram (an antidepressant drug).
b. order for Ativan (also known as lorazepam, a medication used to treat anxiety [a condition characterized
by extreme fear and worry that interferes with daily activities]) PRN (as needed) did not have a stop date.
3. Resident 86
a. there was no clinical indication for the use of Risperdal (an antipsychotic medication).
b. order for Ativan PRN did not have a stop date.
These failures led to Resident 409 developing side effects from the use of Haldol and being put on
Ingrezza. Ingrezza is a medication to counteract the side effects of Haldol. For Residents 70 and 86 these
failures had the potential for them to receive unnecessary psychotropic medications, be exposed to adverse
health consequences from the medications, which could negatively impact the residents' mental, physical,
and psychosocial well-being (having to do with the mental, emotional, and social aspects of a resident's
life).
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 409's record titled Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a standardized resident
assessment tool), dated 01/11/2024, indicated he had multiple admissions and discharges to the facility.
The last admission was dated 12/27/2023. He was admitted to the facility with multiple diagnoses including
anxiety disorder, vascular dementia with behavioral disturbances (blood vessel related loss of intellectual
ability manifested by verbal or physical aggression, agitation and/or wandering). According to his MDS, he
scored 6 out of 10 on his Brief Interview for Mental Status assessment

or for his medications. when he pushes the call light, he wants it immediately. CNA 3 was asked if Resident
409's aggressive behaviors were centered around not getting his cigarettes on time, running out of
cigarettes, and an inability to keep his own lighter, CNA 3 stated, Yes.
During an interview on 2/14/2024 at 9:50 AM, the Director of Infection Prevention (DIP) stated, We were
cited previously for not having a structured smoking program in place to make sure residents were safe. So,
we put one in place and this is the consequence of that. Some residents can get agitated, when there's a
change. The above record reviews and staff interviews were shared with the DIP. The DIP agreed that
issues around smoking appear to be a trigger for Resident 409's aggressive behaviors. The DIP was asked
if the facility was medicating Resident 409 for a facility imposed smoking restrictions such as: scheduled
smoking times, restrictions to cigarettes, and giving up his lighter, the DIP did not verbally answer and just
shrugged his shoulders.

During an interview on 2/14/2024 at 9:49 AM, Pharmacist 1 stated that there was a delay in starting
Ingrezza as this was a specialty medication that required a third party approval. Pharmacist 1 was asked if
decreasing Haldol dosage while waiting for the Ingrezza to be approved was a viable clinical option,
Pharmacist 1 said Yes, the team would recommend that.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment
by neglecting to properly clean one of the four fixed kettles between serving porridge and soup for lunch.
Additionally, kitchen prep surface drainage holes, encrusted with dried, unidentifiable food particles, were
exposed and untreated.
This failure had the potential to result in potential health risks to residents.
Findings:
During a kitchen observation on Tuesday, 01/30/24 at 10:28 AM, four large empty built-in cooking kettles
were noticed, with only the last kettle functioning.
At 10:36 AM, a stainless-steel prep table near the outside of dietary offices revealed a hole approximately 2
inches in diameter, uncovered, and encrusted with food residue. Another prep table on the opposite side of
the room had a similar uncovered hole, also encrusted with unknown residue.
In an interview on 01/30/2024 at 10:55 AM with S14 (Dietary cook), S14 explained the process of cleaning
the kettle, stating, I rinse after cooking. If using 'creamier' items that leave residue on the sides, I will
sometimes scrub if needed.
During an interview with S04at 2 PM on 01/30/2024, S04 indicated dietetic staff should clean and sanitize
fixed equipment between each use.
Review of the facility's P & P titled Food Service Equipment Safety and Sanitation last dated 9/2033, page
2 of 3 indicated for Steam Kettles Positive locking devices shall be provided to hold steam kettles in the
desired position. Kettles are cleaned and sanitized after each use to reduce the risk of cross contamination
using appropriate chemical solutions.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain an accurate record for 3 of 24 sample residents
(Resident 25, 396, and 397). For Residents 25 and 397, staff failed to document their fluid intake
accurately. For Resident 396 an anti-psychotic target behavior was documented incorrectly.
Failure to accurately document fluid intake or target behavior has the potential for the care team to act or
recommend treatment based on inaccurate information.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 397's record titled Minimum Data Set(MDS- an assessment form), dated 11/10/2023,
indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including: gastric reflux
(stomach acid flows back towards mouth), anxiety, asthma, diabetes (blood sugar control issues),
noncompliant with medical treatment, and localized fluid retention.
Review of Resident 397's matrix provided by the facility 01/31/2024 indicated he had excessive unplanned
weight loss. Part of managing a resident with unplanned weight loss is accurate documentation regarding
their food and fluid intakes.
Interviews with direct care staff indicated they were not recording fluid intake accurately.
Review of their fluid intake documentation found inaccurate entries. During an interview on 02/07/2024 at
10:01 AM CNA 3 stated we combine the whole meal including the fluid intake we don't separate those out
unless they have extra fluids outside of the tray or they ask for extra fluid then we chart those.
During an interview with the Registered Dietitian (RD) on 02/07/2024 at 9:59 AM, the RD stated her
expectation was that staff should be charting the meal percent eaten separate from the fluid intake. For
example, 50% consumed in food and 250 cc in fluid. Those two should be charted separately, not combined
as stated by CNA 3.
2. Review of Resident 396's record titled MDS, dated 11/13/2023, indicated she was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including: anxiety, depression, schizophrenia (mental illness-seeing or
hearing things that are not there), and bipolar (mental illness with extreme mood swings).
During a concurrent record review and interview with RN 8 on 02/07/2024 at 9:11 AM, RN 8 stated the
target behavior for Resident 396 for bipolar was hallucination e.g. hearing voices, paranoia e.g. suspicious
of staff, and delusion e.g. seeing things or person. RN 8 was asked to differentiate between hallucination
and delusion. RN 8 agreed that the target behavior delusion seeing things or person needs to be
revised/clarified.
3. Review of Resident 25's record titled MDS, dated 10/10/2023, indicated he was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with multiple diagnoses including: anemia (low blood cells), high blood pressure, kidney failure
(kidney produces urine and elimates toxins) require dialysis (the process of removing excess water and
toxins from the blood in people with kidney disease), and diabetes.

Based on observation and interview, an emergency cart plastic lock tag did not match the lock tag
documented on the log. Failure to follow procedure regarding logging lock tags did not ensure emergency
devices and/or supplies would be available in the event of an medical emergency.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During initial rounds on 01/29/2024 at 12:45 PM, a crash cart's (a cart containing essential life saving
devices, medications and other supplies) red plastic lock tag (placed to ensure no one has accessed or
tampered with the cart) was found not to match the information on the crash cart's log book.
This observation was confirmed with RN 7. RN 7 was unable to provide an explanation of why the tag does
not match the one in the log book. RN 7 explained that once the cart is accessed, the whole cart is sent to
central supply to be re-stocked and new red plastic lock tag installed and the tag number is entered into the
log book.
Review of the facility's policy titled Pharmacy: Emergency Drugs: Crash Carts / Drug Trays / Boxes, revised
on 3/21, indicated .Emergency crash carts in strategic locations throughout the patient care units will be
standardized for easy use by all personnel with maintenance of these carts being a joint responsibility of
Pharmacy personnel, pharmacist or pharmacy technician, and Departmental personnel.The crash cart will
