F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 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 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.

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.
