Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to store all drugs and biologicals in locked
compartments and to permit only authorized personnel to have access to the keys for 2 of 2 medication
carts reviewed for medication storage.
The facility failed to ensure Medication Cart A and Medication Cart B/C were secured at all times and to
permit only authorized personnel to be in possession of keys when two different medications (Tizanidine - a
muscle relaxant, and Trazadone - a antidepressant) were diverted from both medication carts.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving their medications timely, missing a dose of a
medication and other personal items being diverted.
The Findings included:
Record review of the Provider Investigation Report documented a medication called Tizanidine was missing
for four residents (Residents 1, 2, 3 and 4). It documented the medication was checked in on 7/5/23 by two
night nurses (LVN A and LVN B). The same two night nurses discovered on 7/7/23 when they were doing
the night medication pass for residents that Tizanidine was missing from the medications that they had
checked in on 7/5/23 for the residents. They checked the medication carts, medication room and checked
the narcotics and checked the emergency kit and the medication was not found. DON called all four people
who handled the medication carts for the day after the medications were checked in and no one knew
anything about missing medications.
Record review of the Provider Investigation Report documented a medication called Trazadone was missing
for two residents (Residents 5 and 6). It documented a medication discrepancy. Both LVN C and MA D were
passing medications from the medication carts on 7/14/23 when it was discovered that the medication
Trazadone was missing. MA D stated she saw the medication in the cart for a resident that morning but
during the evening medication pass, the Trazadone was discovered missing. Both LVN C and MA D were
unable to tell us what happened to the medication. MA D stated she saw the medication and did dispense
the medication for one of the residents on 7/14/23 in the morning. LVN C said the she didn't see the
medication at all. Both LVN C and MA D gave urine samples and the LVN came up positive on the initial
test for opiates. LVN stated she has prescription from physician and was prescribed hydrocodone by her
physician.
During an interview on 7/25/23 at 11:10 a.m., the Administrator stated the Tizanidine and Trazadone were
both delivered on 7/5/23 on the night shift. The Administrator stated both the medications

were placed in the medication carts by two night nurses - LVN A and LVN B which was what they were
supposed to do. The Administrator stated both LVN A and LVN B came back to the facility to work the night
shift the next day and all the Tizanidine blister packs for all four residents (Residents 1, 2, 3, 4) was missing
from both medication carts. The Administrator stated both medication carts, the narcotics, the medication
room and the emergency kit were searched for the blister packs and they were never found. The

packs for two residents (Residents 5 and 6) were missing until 7/14/23 when one of the residents asked for
a PRN dose of Trazadone. The Administrator stated LVN C and MA D were both drug tested and LVN C
tested positive for opiates, which LVN C had a prescription for. The Administrator stated no other staff were
drug tested due to the medications that were missing would not show up on a drug test. The Administrator
stated LVN C was a new nurse to the facility and was named in both drug diversions and acted very
suspicious when questioned but they could not prove that LVN C or anyone else took the medications. The
Administrator stated the only blister packs that are counted at each shift change were the narcotic
medications, not any other medication.
During an interview on 7/25/23 at 11:40 a.m., the ADON E stated they know when the medications were

During a telephone interview on 7/25/23 at 2:00 p.m., MA D stated she never gave any medications out of
the medication cart the day the medication was missing (7/14/23). MA D stated LVN C was supposed to
give her the keys to Medication Cart B/C at 10:00 a.m. so the nurse could do charting, give insulin and any
treatments that needed to be done. MA D stated LVN C was not done with her morning medication pass
and she would hand over the cart later. MA D stated at 11:30 a.m., MA D asked LVN C to give her the keys
and LVN C said she had started to give her 1:00 p.m. medication pass so she would just keep the cart. MA
D stated around 2:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m., LVN C gave her the keys to the medication cart so she could go to
lunch but she never got into the medication cart while LVN C was gone. MA D stated she had a 4:00 p.m.

was when the Trazadone was missing

missing out of the medication carts on 7/5/23 on the evening shift. LVN B stated LVN A had put her
medications in the top drawer because she was going to need them the next night so she put them in the
current medication stock. LVN B stated they both worked the next night and the medications were not there.

stated she called LVN C via snap chat and asked her about the missing medications
