PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a PASRR screening was completed for
residents with a mental disorder or an intellectual disability for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #54) reviewed for
PASRR Level I screenings.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not ensure an accurate PASRR level 1 screening (a preliminary assessment completed for
all individuals prior to admission to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility to determine whether they might
have a mental illness or intellectual disability) was completed for Resident #54.
This failure could place residents at risk for a diminished quality of life and not receiving necessary care
and services in accordance with individually assessed needs.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #54's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #54 had diagnoses which included unspecified
psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition (a severe mental disorder in which
thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality) and major depressive
disorder (mental health disorder having episodes of psychological depression).
Record review of Resident #54's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 15 out
of 15 indicating intact cognition.
Record review of Resident #54's PASRR level 1 screening dated 6/7/19 read in part, .Is there evidence or
an indicator this is an individual that has a Mental Illness? The answer was: No.
Observation and interview on 1/22/23 at 11:16 a.m. of revealed Resident #54 in her bed. She said she
received help from the staff when needed. She said she would be discharging from the facility in the next
two weeks.
In an interview on 1/23/23 at 2:56 p.m. the MDS Coordinator said the previous social worker deactivated
Resident #54's previous PASRR level 1 screening (dated 5/31/19) when she went to the hospital. The
previous screening was positive and marked yes for mental illness. She said she completed a new
screening on 6/6/19 but must have miskeyed no for mental illness. She said Resident #54 had a mental
illness diagnosis of manic depressive and psychosis with no dementia. She said if mental illness was
marked as yes PASRR would come and evaluate the resident to see if she qualified for specialized
services. She said residents with IDD and DD were the ones who normally received PASRR services and
did not believe there was a risk for Resident #54. She said she and medical records staff were

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure comprehensive care plans were
reviewed and revised by the interdisciplinary team after each assessment, which included both the
comprehensive and quarterly review assessments for 1 of 18 residents (Resident's #15) reviewed for care
plan timing and revision.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #15's care plan included her visual function, communication and
dental care triggered on her admission MDS assessment dated [DATE].
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving needed care.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #15's admission face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted
to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included, unspecified dementia (a group
of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social abilities) without behavioral, anxiety, Aphasia (a disorder
that results from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language) hypertension (High
blood pressure) and chronic kidney disease
Record review of Resident #15's admission MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS of 00, which indicated her
cognition was severely impaired. Section B (Vision) of the MDS indicated she was impaired which indicated
she could only see large print. Section B-600 revealed her speech pattern was unclear. Ability to
understand others and be understood was coded as usually understood. Section L dental was coded
having obvious or likely cavity or broken natural teeth.
Record review of Section V for CAAS of the MDS revealed vision, communication, and dental were
triggered.
Record review of Resident #15's care plan, with a revision date of 01/19/23, revealed her care plan did not
address her vision, communication and dental.
Observation on 01/22/23 at 9:00 a.m., revealed Resident #15 was in bed and was not interviewable.
In an interview with the MDS Coordinator on 01/24/23 at 1:00 p.m., she said she was responsible for
completing the MDS by reviewing all data from all disciplines. She said she also visited each resident to
interview and assessed them prior to completing the assessment and care plan. She said the care plan
was the responsibility of all nursing personnel and social work.
During an interview with the facility Social Worker on 01/24/23 at 3:00 p.m., she said she assessed
residents on section B (Hearing, speech, and vision), C (Cognitive patterns), D (Mood), E (Behavior) & Q
(Participation in assessment and goal setting) and gave the results of her assessment to her supervisor to
complect.
An attempt was made to interview the MDS Coordinator's Supervisor by phone and was unsuccessful.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional
status, such as usual body weight or desirable body weight range and electrolyte balance, unless the
resident's clinical condition demonstrated that it was not possible or resident preferences indicated
otherwise for 10 of 86 residents (Resident #56, #7, #44, #59, #18, #23, #72, #5, #14, and #45) reviewed for
weight loss.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to obtain accurate monthly weights for Resident #56.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #56 had appropriate interventions in place to prevent a severe
weight loss of 39.3 % from 10/10/22 to 1/17/23.
3. The facility failed to obtain accurate monthly weights for residents from October 2022 to January 2023.
The facility identified 10 (Residents #56, #7, #44, #59, #18, #23, #72, #5, #14, and #45) of 86 residents
sustained significant and/or severe weight loss when an accurate weight was obtained by facility staff in
January 2023.
The noncompliance was identified as past noncompliance (PNC). The Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) began on
1/18/23 to 1/20/23. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began.
These failures could place residents at risk of severe weight loss, delayed interventions, hospitalization,
worsening health condition, and death.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #56's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Resident #56 had diagnoses which included Alzheimer's disease, unspecified severe
protein-calorie malnutrition (1/21/21), vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia (11/16/21), anorexia (an eating
disorder characterized by relentless drive for thinness with a fear of gaining body weight associated with
self-induced behaviors towards thinness), weakness (12/2/20), vascular Parkinsonism (a disorder that
affects muscle movement), and hospice care.
Record review of Resident #56's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/8/22, revealed a BIMS score of 0
out of 15, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. She required extensive assistance of one person for
eating. The assessment indicated no symptoms of poor appetite and no weight loss of 5% or more in the
last month or loss of 10% or more in the last 6 months.
Record review of Resident #56's care plan, revised on 1/22/23, revealed she had a potential for nutritional
problem related to inadequate meal intake. Interventions were to have the RD (registered dietitian) evaluate
and make diet change recommendations PRN and weigh and record: monthly and PRN.
Record review of Resident #56's weight summary revealed the following:
10/10/22: 107.5 pounds

In an interview on 1/22/23 at 3:21 p.m., the Administrator said the previous ADON oversaw a lot of the
facility's systems and was recently let go. He said the facility noticed significant discrepancies in the weight
logs and submitted a self-report to the state survey agency. He said the weight logs reflected some
residents were repetitively documented as weighing the same every month. He said approximately 34
residents were identified with weight changes in January, all were reweighed, and would be weighed every
Thursday for the next 4 weeks. He said the identified concern was taken to quality assurance, in-services
were done, and the RD was consulted.
In an interview on 1/22/23 at 3:22 p.m., the Corporate Nurse said it appeared the previous staff responsible
for weights were making up weights. He said a QAPI was done, and the facility was aggressively working to
turn it around. He said both persons involved were terminated.
In an interview on 1/23/23 at 1:18 p.m., the RD said the DON and Administrator notified her of a weight
discrepancy this month when they had someone else weigh the residents. She said she did an intervention
for approximately 35 residents who had significant weight loss and said some residents needed more
supplements than others. She said Resident #56's weight loss was not seen or documented (prior to the
discovery). She said the resident was on hospice services but made recommendations for hospice
residents the same way as non-hospice residents. She said she did not want the resident to starve to death
and her meal intake flexed up and down. She said, prior to the facility becoming aware of the weight
discrepancy in January 2023, she did not assess Resident #56 and said there were no dietary
recommendations for the resident between August 2022 and January 2023 because the resident did not
flag for weight loss. The last Nutrition assessment was completed on 2/28/22. The RD said she only
assessed residents for weight or nutritional needs if there was a referral from the facility based off a trigger
of significant weight gain or loss. She said skin issues and abnormal laboratory values could be a negative
outcome of the untreated weight loss. She said the dietitians came to the facility three times a month and
reviewed admissions, readmissions, annuals, weight loss, dialysis, pressure wounds, tube feedings, and
any consults. She said residents were reviewed annually if there was no weight loss identified. She said the
review consisted of interpreting the BMI, identifying weight goals, diet order, preferences, reviewing
supplements, laboratory values, skin for pressure

In an interview on 1/24/23 at 11:30 a.m., the Administrator said he terminated the previous ADON on
1/3/23 due to integrity issues. He said they noticed a big discrepancy with actual weights and recorded
weights. He said as they reviewed the weight logs, they noticed the previous RA was the one consistently
entering the weights. He said the previous staffing coordinator weighed most of the residents and asked
other CNAs to give her weights. He said during their QAPI meetings prior to the discovery, there were no
alarms of weight loss. The previous ADON and previous RA were responsible for accuracy of weights. He
said the previous ADON was the analyzer and should have been reviewing dietitian recommendations,
physician notes, and overseeing the weight system. He said Resident #56 currently weighed 65 pounds. He
said the wound care nurse conducted a head-to-toe assessment of the resident and said she did not have
any new pressure ulcers but did have excoriation (damage or remove part of the surface of the skin).
Residents Affected - Some
In an interview on 1/24/23 at 1:27 p.m., the RD said it was normal for hospice resident's dietary plans to be
reviewed only annually. It would be reviewed more if there were concerns noted. She said, at the time, there
were no concerns noted for Resident #56.
In an interview on 1/24/23 at 3:07 p.m., the DON said she began employment with the facility in September
2022. She said the previous ADON was responsible for obtaining the weight data from the floors and
ensuring the data was entered into PCC. She said she became suspicious of the weights in January 2023
because there was a delay in obtaining the weights of newly admitted residents, in addition to other
concerns. She assigned a new team to obtain resident weights and noticed discrepancies in previously
documented weights and current weights. She said upon review of previous weights they found several
resident weights did not fluctuate more than 0.1 to 0.3 pounds in a 2-year period. She said in her
professional opinion those were not realistic weight fluctuations. The DON said prior to December 2022, no
one identified any weight changes, and no one reported changes in condition related to skin turgor, change
in overall appearance, dehydration, lethargy, decrease activity, or skin impairment to her. During the QAPI
meetings no issues were reported with the weights. She said she acknowledged there was a weight loss in
some residents but questioned a lot of the weights. She said on 1/18/23 it was discovered Resident #56
had severe weight loss. She said Resident #56 was on hospice care and had a progressive decline in her
ADLs and ability to mobilize. She said she had a history of not eating a lot and her family brought in food
from home that she liked. She said she consulted with the MD and families and did not think any of the
residents were harmed due to the unidentified weight loss. She said she would need to speak with
Resident #56's MD about her decline to determine if it was a progression of her illness.
In an interview on 1/24/23 at 3:15 p.m., the Corporate Nurse said the MDs and families did not report any
concerns regarding weight loss. He said he spoke with the previous Staffing Coordinator and was informed
she weighed over half of the residents. He said he could not confirm the integrity of the weights.
In an interview on 1/24/23 at 3:17 p.m., the RD said the staff reported meal intake issues to her. She said
Resident #56's dietary recommendations would depend on her nutritional needs. She would recommend
fortified meals if the resident was still eating and then after that supplements, ice cream, and med pass 2.0.
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 10:47 a.m., the NP said she recently started seeing Resident #56. She said
the resident was on hospice care due to dementia and did not want to do aggressive measures

such as inserting a PEG tube. She said she expected the resident to decline with normal process. She said
she referenced the monthly weight to ensure the resident was not losing too much weight. She said a
significant weight loss or a drop of 40 pounds in a month would raise red flags. She said she would do a
dietary consultation and if the RD made recommendations, they would get approval from hospice. She said
she would also try Remeron (an appetite stimulant) if hospice approved. She said she would recommend
these interventions to prevent the resident from losing too much weight but if hospice did not think it was
appropriate, they would not implement it. She said with residents on hospice you want to ensure the quality
of life but not prolong life.
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 11:33 a.m., Resident #56's RP said the family noticed the resident was losing
weight but could not tell how much. He said the resident lost more weight than he expected and said he
was shocked to learn how much. He said the resident's normal weight was 115 pounds, but the facility
recently informed him she weighed 75 pounds. He said the resident was put on hospice care because he
and his family member were unable to see the resident during COVID-19 and the facility nurse said if the
resident was put on Hospice care another nurse would come in and make her comfortable. He said he and
his family member made a plan to encourage the resident to eat more because she slept so much and
would gradually eat less and less. He said around the start of COVID-19, she lost a lot of weight but was
still responsive and could walk around. He said the facility did not say what they would do to help with her
appetite. He said when he was at the facility, he tried to assist her with meals and notified the CNAs when
she would not eat well. He said they informed him they would try to get her to eat later. He said the resident
got weaker and every time she walked around, she would fall and go to the hospital. He said he wanted the
resident on physical therapy to walk and move around again so he removed her from hospice, but when
she plateaued in therapy the facility convinced him to place her back on hospice. He said she had not been
able to get out of bed very often because of unsteadiness. He said he had a care plan meeting in the past
to discuss her diet preferences, such as no bones in her chicken and no spicy foods, but they did not
discuss her specific dietary requirements. He said last Wednesday, 1/18/23, the facility changed her diet to
a higher calorie, soft food diet which the resident took to very readily. He said she took everything on her
plate on Friday, 1/20/23 but was unable to wake her to eat on Monday 1/23/23. He said she used to be able
to feed herself and would eat the regular diet. He said he expressed to the facility there must be a high
calorie diet that would help her eat, because the amount she was eating was small. He said he informed
the facility that whatever they could do to help with her nutrition would be great. He said the hospice agency
did not specifically say the resident would progressively lose weight.
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 12:06 p.m., CNA A said she noticed Resident #56 lost weight and reported it
to LVN A. She said the resident did not eat too much. She said last month the resident ate approximately
75% of a meal she assisted her with. She said she noticed the resident did not eat by herself but previously
did not like when people fed her.
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 12:29 p.m., LVN A said she noticed a few residents lost weight on her hallway
not too long ago, which included Resident #56. She said she normally reported weight loss concerns to the
resident's hospice nurse. She said Resident #56 was always fatigued and would refuse everything with
feeding. She said her meal intake was around 25% but she liked to drink. She said her weight loss was
obvious when the staff got her up to weigh her last week. She said she did not know who weighed the
residents prior to January 2023. She said the RP would come to ensure she got enough food. She said the
resident was on med pass 2.0 and the hospice nurse started her on Sucralfate. She said she was
supposed to report weight concerns to the facility doctor and the hospice nurse, and they would schedule
blood work and send it to the doctor. She said she was not

sure when to notify the RD. She said she reported Resident #56's weight concerns to the previous ADON
and was informed to notify hospice and the resident's doctor. She said the previous ADON did not say
anything about informing the RD. She said the RD monitored the food the residents ate and monitored the
weight. Based on the weights they could tell if the patient was going up or down. She said the CNAs would
report Resident #56's appetite changes to her. She said she reviewed Resident #56's weight and noticed
the weight was previously around 100 and now it went down to 67. She said she knew the resident was
losing weight based on her intake but never questioned the weights in the system because they looked
right. She questioned the amount of weight she lost because it was a lot. She said she was recently in
serviced on reporting weight concerns to the RD and conducting an assessment when there was a decline.
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 2:00 p.m., Resident #56's Hospice Nurse said she assessed Resident #56 for
the last 2 years. She said in the last 3-4 months Resident #56 had a decline in appetite and weight loss.
The Hospice Nurse said the resident declined food and had low food intake. The Hospice Nurse determined
the resident had a decline in body mass based off the mid-upper arm circumference body mass checked
every 2 weeks during hospice visits. She said she received weight updates from various CNAs and nurses
when she visited the resident. The last weight recording the Hospice Nurse recalled was approximately 97
pounds from the resident's recent hospital visit (exact date unknown).
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 4:09 p.m., the DON said she was not previously aware of any weight changes
for Resident #56. She said the Hospice Nurse, previous ADON, and charge nurses did not report any
information about Resident #56's weight or appetite changes to her. She said if she was aware of the
weight or intake changes, she would have notified the physician and obtained appropriate referrals such as
for the RD.
In an interview on 1/26/23 at 9:31 a.m., the previous ADON said she never weighed residents or
documented weights. She said she only followed up on any recommendations from the RD if the RD saw
weight loss or weight changes and if she wanted supplements or adjustments made. She said any CNA on
the hall did the weights then gave those weights to the previous Staffing Coordinator.
In an interview on 1/26/23 at 10:00 a.m., the previous Staffing Coordinator said the facility told her she
falsified resident weights. She said she documented weights in the system when the CNAs gave them to
her. She said she did weigh some residents and a lot of their weights changed. She said she recorded
weekly weights in a binder but corporate was destroying papers in her old office when she was suspended.
She said the scales were not calibrated and there was always an issue with the Hoyer lift scales jumping up
and down. She said the last time she weighed Resident #56 was in November because the RD said she did
not have to weight hospice residents.
In an interview on 1/26/23 at 11:12 a.m., the DON said because of the internal audit, weights would be
obtained on admission, the day after, and weekly for 4 weeks. She said she would review the weights and
look at consistency in weighing procedures (i.e. hoyer lift, wheelchair scale, and same time of day). She
said the DON, Administrator, or designee would be responsible for weekly spot checks of weights on each
hall. She said they would select a resident and verify their weight with another person.
In an interview on 1/26/23 at 11:24 a.m., the DON said the previous Staffing Coordinator was not the only
person weighing residents but was the person who made sure the weights were done and entered in the
system. She said the previous Staffing Coordinator worked with different CNAs to obtain weights. She said
after the facility identified the weight discrepancies, she educated the lead nurses on

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services including
procedures that assured the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and
biologicals to meet the needs of each resident and failed to establish a system of records of receipt and
disposition of all controlled drugs in sufficient detail to enable an accurate reconciliation for 3 of 6 residents
(Residents #31, #29 and #67) reviewed for pharmacy services.
The facility failed to ensure LVN E administered Lorazepam (an antianxiety medication) to Resident #31
every 12 hours (twice per day) per physician's order and instead administered the medication three times
per day.
The facility failed to ensure LVN E administered Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen (a controlled medication
used to treat moderate to severe pain) to Resident #29 every 4 hours, as ordered by the physician, and
instead administered the medication every 2 hours.
The facility failed to ensure LVN E signed Resident #67's' Alprazolam controlled drug inventory sheet timely.
These failures could place residents at risk of medication error and drug diversion.
Findings include:
Resident #31
Record review of Resident #31's face sheet revealed an [AGE] year-old female who was readmitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Resident #31 had diagnoses which included Alzheimer's disease (a progressive
neurologic disorder that causes the brain to shrink (atrophy) and brain cells to die), anxiety disorder (the
mind and body's reaction to stressful, dangerous, or unfamiliar situations), paranoid schizophrenia (subtype
of schizophrenia), major depressive disorder (mental health disorder having episodes of psychological
depression), and cognitive communication deficit.
Record review of Resident #31's annual MDS assessment, dated 12/7/22, revealed a BIMS score of 0 out
of 15, which indicated severe cognitive impairment.
Record review of Resident #31's, undated, care plan revealed she used an anti-anxiety medication related
to anxiety disorder. The interventions were to administer anti-anxiety medication as ordered by the
physician and monitor for side effects and effectiveness.
Record review of Resident #31's order summary report for January 2023 revealed there was no active
order for Lorazepam 0.5 mg. The last order for Lorazepam 0.5 mg was completed on 12/20/22 and the
directions were to give 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for anxiety/restlessness for 14 days,
order date 12/6/22, end date 12/20/22.
Record review of Resident #31's controlled drug declining inventory sheet for Lorazepam 0.5 mg dated
11/17/22 revealed LVN E administered one Lorazepam tablet to Resident #31 on 12/10/22 at 9 a.m., 12

Resident #31 on 1/21/23 at 8 a.m. and one on 1/21/23 at 5 p.m. (32 days after the order was completed).
There were 6 tablets remaining on the inventory sheet. The directions on the blister pack were to give 1
tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for anxiety/restlessness.
Record review of Resident #31's medication administration record for January 2023 revealed Lorazepam
0.5 mg was not listed on it. There was no documentation to show LVN E administered it to Resident #31 on
1/21/23 at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Observation on 1/24/23 at 10:36 a.m. of the nurse cart on D hall revealed 6 Lorazepam 0.5 mg tablets for
Resident #31 remained in the blister pack.
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 1:52 p.m., the DON said controlled medications were to be turned in timely to
herself or the Administrator when discontinued or discharged . She said LVN E informed her she looked at
Resident #31's order and thought it was more frequent than scheduled.
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 3:40 p.m., LVN E said Resident #31's Lorazepam order was completed on
12/6/22. She said the order was not active and she was not the only one who administered it after the
completion date. She said the medication was still on the cart but should have been removed and handed
to the DON to prevent a medication error. She said she pulled the medication from the cart and
administered it to Resident #31. After administration she checked the computer, but the order was not
there. She said she administered the Lorazepam three times a day (on 12/10/22) because she thought it
was scheduled for three times a day. She checked the directions on the medication blister pack if she did
not have access to the MAR. She said she called the pharmacy and they informed her no one should have
administered it after 12/6/22. She said she assumed the medication error but was tired from working nearly
24 hours. She said no one assessed the resident or notified the MD.
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 4:09 p.m., the DON said once the medication was discontinued it should be
removed from the cart to prevent diversion and administration. She said nurses should not give a
medication that was not on the MAR because they would not know the correct dose. She said medication
should not be administered without a physician's order because the order guides the practice and nurses
could not determine what to give. She said the controlled drug inventory sheet was used for inventory and
the eMAR documented administration.
Observation on 1/26/23 at 1:57 p.m. of Resident #31 revealed she was in her room lying in bed. She was
not interviewable.
Resident #29
Record review of Resident #29's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Resident #29 had diagnoses which included Parkinson's disease (a progressive disorder
that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves), pain, dementia, and
heart failure.
Record review of Resident #29's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/23/22, revealed a BIMS score of 15
out of 15, which indicated intact cognition.
Record review of Resident #29's, undated, care plan revealed she was on pain medication therapy related
to disease process. Her interventions were to administer analgesic medications as ordered by the
physician.

Record review of Resident #67's medication administration record for January 2023 revealed Alprazolam
0.5 mg was documented as administered on 1/24/23 at 8:24 a.m. by LVN E.
Record review of Resident #67's controlled drug declining inventory sheet for Alprazolam 0.5 mg revealed
the medication was last documented as given on 1/23/23 at 8:20 a.m. by LVN D. There was 1 tablet
remaining according to the inventory sheet.
In an observation and interview on 1/24/23 at 10:05 a.m. of the E hall nurse cart with LVN E, the state
surveyor and LVN E conducted a controlled medication count by comparing the controlled medications on
the cart to the inventory log. Resident #67's controlled drug declining inventory sheet for Alprazolam 0.5 mg
indicated there was 1 tablet remaining. LVN E said there was no blister pack for the Alprazolam on the cart
and said she administered the last one to Resident #67 this morning but did not document it on the
inventory sheet because she did not have a pen. LVN E then signed the inventory sheet for Resident #67's
Alprazolam to indicate there were 0 tablets left. LVN E said the inventory sheet should be signed right after
administering the medication because you never knew what could happen. She said you must have control
of the medication and know when it was next due to be administered.
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 2:18 p.m., the DON said controlled medications should be signed out on the
inventory sheet when the medication was pulled from the blister pack. She said if the controlled sheet was
not signed when administered, it could lead to a discrepancy and give a suspicion of diversion.
In an interview on 1/25/23 at 2:26 p.m., the Corporate RN said the eMAR and count sheet were used to
keep control of the controlled medications. He said LVN E needed to sign out the controlled drug on the
inventory sheet in real time because if she left the facility there could be a discrepancy and she could
explain what happened.
