F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and biologicals) to meet the needs of each resident for 1 (Resident #1) of 6 residents reviewed for pharmacy services. The facility failed to ensure LVN A properly received inventory of Resident #1's Acetaminophen-Codeine #3 (controlled medication) from the pharmacy, resulting in 26 missing tablets. The noncompliance was identified as past noncompliance (PNC). The noncompliance began on 10/07/24 and ended on 10/17/24. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the investigation began. This failure placed residents at risk for unrelieved pain due to their medication not being readily available. Findings included: Review of Resident #1's Face Sheet, dated 03/01/25, reflected she was an [AGE] year-old female, who most recently admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including transient cerebral ischemic attack (a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain, causing stroke-like symptoms that resolve completely within a short period) and peripheral vascular disease (a condition that affects the blood vessels outside of the heart and brain), and rheumatoid arthritis (a long-term autoimmune disease that causes painful inflammation in the joints). Review of Resident #1's Physician's Orders, dated 03/01/25, reflected she was prescribed Acetaminophen-Codeine Oral Tablet 300-30MG (Acetaminophen with Codeine, also referred to as Tylenol #3) orally up to four times per day as needed (for pain). The start date of this medication was 09/12/24. Review of the facility's Provider Investigation Report, dated 10/11/24, reflected during the 10:00PM (10/07/24) to 6:00AM (10/08/24) shift, LVN A signed for a delivery of medications from the pharmacy that contained a blister pack (a form of tamper-evident packaging where an individual pushes individually sealed tablets through the foil in order to take the medication) of Resident #1's prescription for Acetaminophen-Codeine #3 (26 tablets). During the following shift (6:00AM to 2:00PM) on 10/08/24, the medication was identified as missing from the medication cart. Although LVN A signed for the medication during the previous shift, she could not recall receiving the medication. LVN A was suspended pending the outcome of the investigation, and she was sent for a drug screen (results indicated she was positive for marijuana). Resident #1's Responsible Party and physician were notified of (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
