F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was free from significant medication errors when Resident 1 received the medication Percocet instead of Norco (Percocet is the brand name for oxycodone/acetaminophen and Norco is the brand name for hydrocodone/acetaminophen for pain. Both medications are for pain but have different opioid ingredients. Opioids are very powerful type of drugs used for pain relief). This failure exposed Resident 1 to the risk of adverse medication effects and discomfort. During a review of Resident 1's Face Sheet, it indicated that Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included right femur fracture (broken bone in right thigh bone). A review of Physician's orders dated 8/5/25, indicated an order of Norco or Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen oral tablet 10-325 milligrams (mg., a form of measurement), give one tablet by mouth every four hours as needed for severe pain. During an interview on 12/26/25 at 12:46 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated that on 8/6/25, two doses of Percocet 10/ 325 mg. (two doses totaled to two tablets) were taken from the E-kit and were given to Resident 1 for pain instead of the ordered Norco 10/325 mg. DON acknowledged this was a medication error and stated the adverse effects for the resident receiving Percocet could have been respiratory distress due to an allergic reaction (an Emergency Kit or E-kit is a small, pre-stocked supply of medications kept in the facility to quickly treat common, sudden symptoms like pain, nausea, or anxiety). A review of Incident of Emergency Kit Non-Compliance, dated 9/5/25, it indicated: Percocet 10/325 mg. tablets (#2 tabs taken on 8/06/25) - Nurse mistakenly took the wrong medication out of the E-kit.

During an interview on 12/30/25 at 1:00 p.m. with Pharmacist Consultant (PC), PC stated the nurses made medication errors and should have given the correct medication of Norco 10/325 tablet instead of Percocet 10/325 tablets from the E-kit.
