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.
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 1of 2 medication storage rooms (Nurse's
Station Room).
The facility failed on 6/4/25 to ensure that expired lab testing supplies were removed from 1 of 2 medication
storage rooms (Nurse's Station Room).
This failure could place residents at risk for misdiagnosis from expired and possibly ineffective lab testing
supplies. Use of these expired supplies would not meet acceptable standards of medical practice and could
cause a resident to receive an incorrect treatment, which would allow their medical condition to worsen.
Findings included:
Observation on 6/4/25 at 3:55 PM of the Medication Storage Room located by the nurse's station revealed
the following:
3 Lab swabs expired 2/9/2023.
4 Gray lab tubes expired 4/30/2023.
1 Gold lab tube expired 12/31/2023.
5 Lab swabs expired 7/1/2024.
3 Red tubes expired 9/19/2024.
6 Culture swabs expired 1/12/2025.
In an interview on 6/5/25 at 1:20 PM, LVN-A stated the policy on expired medications and expired lab
supplies was to pull them from stock, log them and destroy them. She stated the facility's contracted lab
usually brings their own supplies. She stated MA's, nurses, and unit managers (including herself) were
responsible for checking the medication rooms for expired items. She stated the negative outcome to
residents if expired items were used (example lab tubes/cultures) was the expired cultures could cause
inaccurate lab results.
