just in case, and she believed the policy indicated the discontinued medications should be discarded after
three months.
During an interview on 09/19/24, at 11:57 p.m., with NM, NM stated the expectation was when the
medication was discontinued, it needed to be removed and placed in the discarded medications area
because there was a high chance that it could be used by mistake if left in the refrigerator.
During an interview on 09/19/24, at 12:24 p.m., with Pharmacist (Pharm), Pharm stated discontinued
medications needed to be separated from regular medications as soon as possible so they did not get used
by mistake by other residents.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Storage of Medications, dated 2007, the
P&P indicated, 4). The facility shall not use discontinued, outdated, or deteriorated drugs or biologicals. All
such drugs should be returned to the dispensing pharmacy or destroyed.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Discontinued Medications, dated 2001, .3). Discontinued
