The facility medication room contained 3 prescription medications that were expired. The facility's failure to ensure medications were stored in accordance with currently accepted professional principles could result in a resident receiving the incorrect medication or a medication that would be ineffective for their treatment resulting in exacerbation of the resident's condition and disease processes. Findings include: During an observation on 09-12-2023 at 09:31 AM of the facility's medication room with the DON and CRN present the following medications were noted to be expired that were present in the overflow bin for room [ROOM NUMBER]A: Atorvastatin 1 bottle with expiration of 4-26-2023 and one bottle with expiration of 8-30-2023 Losartan 1 bottle with expiration of 6-21-2023 and one bottle with expiration of 8-30-2023 Gabapentin 1 bottle with expiration of 8-30-2023 During an interview on 9-12-2023 at 09:33 AM the DON and CRN they verified that the three prescription medication were expired, were part of the overflow stock, and that if the primary medication cart on the floor was out of medication, then the nurse would grab what they needed from this stock in the medication room. The DON reported that she did not feel the expired medication would be a problem because the staff are trained to check each medication for expiration prior to being administered. The DON stated, The chance an expired medication would be given would be slim. We check dates when we pass any meds. The CRN agreed. The DON reported that the expired medications were brought in when the resident in room [ROOM NUMBER]A was admitted recently and they expected him to be short term but he has since decided to stay and the medications he brought in were not discarded as they should have been.
