F 0602 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few possible. She said a medication count was conducted at the end of every shift and anytime they pass the medication cart off to another employee. Interview on 7/16/2024 at 2:48pm with LVN, employed for approximately 10 days, she stated she received training on misappropriation during her initial training and with her previous employer previously. She stated an understanding of misappropriation and said she has never taken a medication from the medication cart, nor has she seen anyone else take medication. Interview on 7/16/2024 at 3:04pm with DON, employed with the facility for 18 years, stated she in-serviced staff on 6/29/2024 following the incident with CMA-A. She identified accountability measures currently in place at the facility as cameras were located throughout the building, carts were kept locked, a medication count was conducted at beginning and end of each shift, the building was locked and secured, and the ADM reviewed camera footage after any incident. She said she feels the incident with CMA-A was an isolated incident and the disciplinary action was appropriate. Interview on 7/16/2024 at 3:20pm with ADM reflected accountability measures include medication count at the beginning and end of each shift and that CMA's must document each time a PRN medication is given to a resident. She stated that the disciplinary action against CMA-A was appropriate as she had been an employee in good standing for over 6-years and feels like it was an isolated incident. She said CMA-A is supervised by a nurse on the night shift and there is another CNA working nights as well. She said there are no routine medications given to residents during the night shift, so the medication cart is rarely opened. Review of the most recent Criminal History Conviction search dated 1/19/2024 for CMA-A, reflected no search results found. Review of Notice to Employee Receiving This Employee Disciplinary Report dated 7/1/2024 was signed by CMA-A and ADM.
