**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medicalrecord review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the controlled
substance medications (medications with high risk for abuse andaddiction) were appropriately accounted
for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1). This failure had the potential to negatively affect the health
and safety of the resident.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titledControlled Medications dated 8/2014 showed the medications included in
the Drug Enforcement Administration (an agency which enforces the United States' controlled substance
laws and regulation) classification as controlled substances are subject to special handling, storage,
disposal, and recordkeeping in the facility, in accordance with federal and state laws and regulations. When
a controlled medication is administered, the license nurse administering the medication immediately enters
the following information on the accountability record and the medication administration record (MAR):
A. Date and time of administration
B. Amount administered
C. Signature of the nurse administering the dose on the accountability record at the time the medication is
removed from the supply.
D. Initials of the nurse administering the dose on the MAR after the medication is administered.
