F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 ensure medications were available and given according to the physician's order; and controlled substance (drugs with high potential for abuse or addiction) medications were fully accounted, when: 1. A prescription medication for itching was not available for a resident upon request. This resulted in the resident enduring the itching unnecessarily. 2. Morphine (a potent medication for pain) was administered not administered as prescribed for Resident 2. This resulted in a medication error. 3. A random controlled medication use audit for four out of five residents (Residents 31, 50, 25, and 45) showed that medications were signed out of the Control Drug Record (CDR, an inventory sheet that keeps record of the usage of controlled medications) but were not documented as given to the residents on the medication administration record (MAR). The failure had the potential to result in loss, misuse, and/or diversion of controlled and prescription medications. Findings: 1. During an observation and interview with licensed vocational nurse 4 (LVN 4) on 3/13/23 at 10:04 a.m., Resident 29 requested Hydroxyzine (a prescription drug used to relieve itching caused by allergic skin reactions and help control anxiety and tension) as he wanted to go to the activity room. LVN 4 stated she was unable to find the medication in the medication cart. LVN 4 informed the resident, We are going to order the pill. A review of Resident 29's clinical record indicated a physician's order, dated 2/14/23, for hydroxyzine 25 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) 1 tablet orally three times a day as needed for itchiness. During a subsequent interview on 3/13/23 at 1:13 p.m., with LVN 4, stated she had called the pharmacy and that the pharmacy's system was down. LVN 4 stated that Resident 23 29 takes Hydroxyzine for generalized itching all over his body. During an interview on 3/13/23 at 3:56 p.m., with the Charge Nurse (CN), she stated the medication has not been brought in yet as Resident 29 's son was going to be bringing it in. During an interview on 3/13/23 at 3:57 p.m., with Resident 29, stated that he had not yet received the medication to relieve the itching and that his body was itchy all over.
