In an interview on 08/16/23 at 10:40 AM, the LVN stated the loose pills in the cart were a result of the cards
coming loose or missing the cups when pills were being popped out of the cards. The LVN stated she knew
the importance of keeping the medication carts and treatment carts locked when not in use.
In an interview on 08/17/23 at 10:55 AM, the DON stated she believed the loose pills were related to
accidental puncture of the cards as well as excessive inventory in the medication cart storage areas. The
DON also stated the reason the treatment cart was open was because the nurse responsible for that cart
was busy with a resident admission and it was an oversight. The DON stated all nurses know the
medication carts and treatment carts must be always locked when not in use.
Review of the facility policy titled Storage of Medications revised April 2019, reads in part: Discontinued,
outdated, or deteriorated drugs or biologicals are returned to the dispensing pharmacy or destroyed.
Compartments (including, but not limited to drawers, cabinets, rooms, refrigerators, carts, and boxes)
