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. (Incident of Emergency Kit Non-Compliance was a
document sent by the pharmacist which referred to the facility's failure to follow the rules for using the
emergency medication supplies in the E-kit). During a review of the facility's Post Event Review dated
9/8/25, it read: Nurse mistakenly removed Percocet 10/325 mg. from E-kit instead of intended medication.
the nurses acknowledged the error. (a post-event review is a comprehensive analysis meeting conducted
by the facility after an event to identify areas for improvement, inform future planning or evaluate its
success). 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. Further stated the risks of giving Percocet was the
possibility for Resident 1 to experience adverse side effects like sedation, nausea and hallucinations.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Administering Medications revised April
2019, the P&P indicated, . 10. The individual administering the medication checks the label THREE (3)
times to verify the right resident, right medication, right dosage, right time and right method(route) of
administration before giving the medication .
