**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the resident had the right to be free from abuse,
neglect, misappropriation of resident property, and exploitation for one of three residents (Resident # 1)
reviewed for misappropriation.
The facility failed to prevent a diversion (misappropriation) of Resident #1's Oxycodone 0.5 mg, 30 tablets
(opiate narcotic medication); Tramadol 50 mg 30 tablets (a pain medication) received from the pharmacy on
2/7/24 at 4:11 AM and reported missing 2/11/2025 during the day shift.
This failure could place residents at risk for decreased quality of life, unrelieved pain, misappropriation of
property, and dignity.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident # 1's face sheet, printed 2/14/2025, revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses which included Sciatica, Right -side (pain that
originates along your sciatic nerve), Chronic Pain syndrome (Pain that persists beyond the expected
healing time for an injury or illness, often causing significant disruption to daily functioning),
Tubulointerstitial nephritis (a kidney disorder that causes inflammation of the kidney tubules and
surrounding tissues).
Record review of Resident's #1's admission MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 15, which
indicated the resident was cognitively intact.
Record review of Resident #1's physician orders, dated 2/6/2025, revealed order written on 2/6/2025
Oxycodone 0.5 mg 8 hours as needed for moderate or greater pain. Tramadol 50 mg one time daily for
pain.
Record review of the provider investigation report, dated 2/12/2025, reflected on 2/7/2025 at 4:11 AM the
pharmacy delivered 30 (thirty) tablets of Oxycodone 0.5 mg 30 (thirty) and Tramadol 50 mg 30 (thirty) for
Resident #1, the packing slip from the pharmacy was signed by RN A as received. The Medication was
noticed as missing, four days later. A search of the facility's medication rooms, and medication carts and
the medications were not located. The report reflected no injury or harm to the resident as the medication
was available in the emergency medication kit and the facility replaced the missing medication after the
investigation was completed, the facility notified Hospice, the responsible party, the medical director, and
the police. Statements were obtained from staff. The investigation findings confirmed the drug diversion.

Record review of RN A's statement reflected On Friday 2/7/2025, she received medications including
narcotics from pharmacy. The narcotics were for [Resident #1]. When she wanted to put the medication
away, she noticed she was not a resident on the northside, and she did not find her at all. She received the
medication at approximately 4:00 AM. RN A placed the medication in the narcotics box on her side until day
shift arrived including the bag of medications she received. When the day shift nurse arrived, she counted
with the day shift LVN A and CMA A. She showed them both narcotics bag and name and asked if the
resident was in the facility? CMA A stated she did not know, and she did not think she was still here. LVN A
stated she did not know but she will take care of it. She handed off the bag to LVN A and CMA A was there
when she handed off the bag to nurse LVN A. She asked if the resident is no longer there, where do they
put the medication for returns. She was told to put it in the medication room for returns. She asked if she
was sure, and she said yes because she works there regularly. She walked into the medication room with
nurse LVN A, showed her where she dropped off the narcotics and looked for a supply for another resident
with her. She asked her again was it ok to set the medication down there in the medication room for returns
or if there was another place to put it in and she said there is no problem. She stated they exited the
medication room, and she exited the facility. She stated the medication was intact in the bag because the
bag was unopened but the plastic piece for the name was torn by her earlier to see the piece of paper that
had the name of the resident. She stated she exited the facility at 7:53 AM ,
During a phone interview on 2/14/2025 at 12:55 PM with the local police department desk sergeant,
revealed the investigator on the case was not available, a message was left for a return phone call. No
return phone call received prior to exit.
During an interview with CMA A on 02/13/25 at 1:15 PM revealed she was passing morning med's, and one
of the agency nurses stated she had med's for Resident #1. She advised her she no longer had her, but
she did not know they moved her on the other side. She told her they were narcotics. She was unsure what
to do with them once the resident was no longer there. She stated if the resident passed away, the DON
was supposed to count them, but she was unsure what she did with them. If she had someone's med's on
the cart and the resident passed away the DON would count them. When Resident #1 was discharged , she
went to the hospital and then when she came back, she went to the other side. Resident #1's family
member made the decision to have her go to the hospital. The med's were not taken from her cart that day,
but she was off and when she came back to work, her med's were gone off her cart. Her son realized she
needed long term care, so she came back, and she returned, and she was placed on the other side. She
did not know what went on the other side. She was surprised they were getting medication. She was
wondering why they were still getting medication for her. All the rest of her medication went over to the
south side where she was once, she came back. She stated seems like the pharmacy would have sent
them to that side since the rest of her med's were going over there. The agency nurse received the med's
and placed them in the med room and locked the room. She stated she was not going to open the envelope
(purple bag). The DON asked her if she threw them away. She stated she checked the bag. She stated
sometimes they had papers in the bag but that day they were busy. She stated 2/7/2025 was the date of the
incident. She worked the night shift. Someone from the pharmacy delivered the medication. They were
supposed to check the med's when they first came in, and it was because the pharmacy made mistakes.
When the med aids came in in the morning, they put the med's

on the cart. She stated a lot of the time the night nurses did not know where the med's went, and she had
the wrong medication on her cart. The morning med aides would check them in. When the med's came in at
night, they would lock them in the med room until the med aides came in. The nurse would advise them
they had med's in the med room, and they got them and placed them where they were supposed to be.
During an interview with LVN A on 02/13/25 at 2:18 PM, she stated she was asked about it, but she was not
aware of the medication missing. She stated she could not admit she saw the resident's medication. She
stated when she came into work, the medication was in the medication room on the counter and the
morning med aid put the medication away. She stated when the medication was delivered, they took it to
the nurse's station. They took it and placed the medication in the med room. The night nurse or whatever
nurse was on duty would sign for it. Only charge nurses, LVN and RNs, could sign for the medications.
During an interview with LVN B on 02/13/25 at 3:06 PM, she stated she did not see the medication to give it
to her. LVN B knew she could not give it to her because it was not here. It was a PRN medication for her.
The oxycodone was not scheduled for her to give to her. She stated the resident did not ask for the
medication and that was why she did not know it was not there .
During an interview with LVN C on 02/13/25 at 3:20 PM, she stated when the medication was received, she
took the sheet, opened the bag, compared it, and gave it to them. She stated she would put it on her cart or
give it to the med aid and if it must be refrigerated, she would place it in there. The med aid would put the
medication in its proper place .
During an interview with the ADM on 02/13/25 at 3:40 PM, she stated she thought the missing medication
was in the bag that had been thrown away. She stated all nurses had access to the medication room from
2/7/25 to 2/11/25 . She stated no one saw the medication, and no one admitted having thrown it away. She
stated they received in-services on what to do when the med's were received and what to do with them.
She stated she placed a sin up in the medication room advising the staff to throw away the purple bags and
not to leave them on the counter. She stated when the med's came in, they were supposed to verify and
sign what was in the bag. Once the med's were in their possession, they were to secure the med's in their
proper places. She stated the medication usually came in about 4:00 AM and about 4:00 PM. She stated
there was always 2 nurses in the building. She stated she would be doing an in-service on what to do when
there was another nurse on duty and the medication came in. She stated the resident did not have any pain
from the med's missing. She stated they contacted the pharmacy and got med's from the e-kit. The
pharmacy sent another round of med's for the resident .
Record review of Inservice, dated 2/12/2025, reflected all LVN and RNs were in-service on Controlled
Substance which included the process for accepting scheduled medications from the pharmacy.
Record review of RN A employee file reflected she did not have a file within the facility. RN A was working
at the facility through agency. Per the ADM, RN A was not allowed to return to the facility.
Record review of the facility's, undated, policy Controlled Substances reflected 3. Controlled substances
are counted upon delivery . The nurse receiving the medication, along with the person delivering the
medication, must count the controlled substances together. Both individuals sign the designated controlled
substance record. Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the resident had the
right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property,
