Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to store all drugs and biologicals in locked compartments for 2 of 4 medication carts reviewed for medication storage in that: MA B failed to ensure the medication cart was secured when it was left unattended. LVN A failed to ensure the treatment cart was secured when it was left unattended. These failures could place residents at risk for drug diversion or accidental ingestion. Findings included: During an observation on 07/18/23 at 09:10 AM the medication cart for hall 200 was seen unlocked and unattended. Inside the cart were several medication packets and pill bottles. During an interview on 07/18/23 at 09:14 AM MA B said if she did not push all the cart drawers then they would not all lock. MA B said she thought she had locked the medication cart before she had stepped away. MA B said she knew that she had to make sure the cart was locked because there were some residents that might try to open the drawers on the medication cart and could get access to the medications. During an observation and an interview on 07/19/23 at 10:15 AM the treatment cart for hall 200 was seen unlocked and unattended for approximately 10 minutes. Inside the cart were several medications, ointments and scissors. LVN A said whenever they stepped away from the carts, they were supposed to make sure they were locked. LVN A said he must have forgotten to lock the cart when he stepped away. LVN A said it could be possible for some residents to get into the items in the cart and injure themselves and that he would be more careful to make sure and lock the cart when leaving it unattended. During an interview on 07/20/23 at 11:14 AM the DON said if the medication or treatment carts were out of the staff's eyesight that they had to be locked. The DON said if the carts were left unlocked and unattended a resident could get access of the medications, items that were in the carts and could ingest them. The DON also said staff that were not authorized to the carts could have access to them. The DON said the failure probably occurred because staff got in a hurry and forgot to lock the cart. During an interview on 07/20/23 at 11:36 AM the Administrator said if the staff stepped away from their medication cart or treatment cart, they were supposed to make sure the carts were locked, and nothing left out on the top of the carts. The Administrator said residents could get into the medication cart and possibly ingest medications or ointments due to staff leaving the carts unlocked and unsupervised. Record review of the facility policy titled storage of medications dated 4/8/18 indicated in part: The nursing staff is responsible for maintaining medication storage and preparation areas in a clean, safe and sanitary manner. Any compartments containing drugs and biologicals shall be locked when not in use and are not to be left unattended if open.

The DM stated that the expired prune juice and the tartar sauce would be disposed of immediately. The Dietician stated that the supplier had been sending the facility items that were very close to the expiration date all the time and they tried to make sure the dates were good before they put anything in the storage areas.
