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 of 4 nurses' medication carts (medication cart on 200
hall) reviewed for pharmacy services.
The facility failed to discard expired glucometer control solution (used to test and calibrate the glucometer
machines) from 200 hall medication cart.
This failure placed the residents at risk of incorrect labeling of drugs and biologicals.
Findings included.
During an observation and interview on [DATE] at 10:15 AM, RN B identified the 200 hall nurse's
medication cart. The cart contained a box of control solutions used to calibrate two glucometers which were
also stored in the cart. No other control solutions were found within the cart. The box of control solutions
reflected an expiration date of [DATE]. No open date was noted on the box. RN B stated he was unaware of
the expired control solutions and it was the responsibility of the 10 pm to 6 AM nurse to use the solutions to
calibrate the glucometers daily. RN B stated the risk for using expired control solutions included decreased
efficacy of the solutions could make the calibration inaccurate which could lead to inaccurate results when
testing resident's glucose levels. RN B provided the control logs completed by the 10 PM to 6 AM nurse.
During an interview on [DATE] at 10:51 AM, the DON stated the 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM nurses were
responsible for calibrating the glucometers on their carts. She stated she, the charge nurses, and the
ADON were responsible for ensuring the calibrations were completed and items in the medication carts
were up to date. She stated she was surprised to hear about the expired control solution and stated the
pharmacy consultant also checked the carts. The DON checked the cart with RN B who showed her the
expired solution. He had marked the box as DO NOT USE. The DON instructed RN B to retrieve new test
strips and control solutions, re-calibrate the glucometers, and re-test the residents. She stated the risk of
using expired solutions for calibration was inaccurate glucose readings when testing residents.
On [DATE] at 2:51 PM, attempt to conduct a telephone interview with LVN C , who worked the 10:00 PM to
6:00 AM shift and signed the Glucometer Daily Quality Control Record on [DATE] through [DATE] and
[DATE] through [DATE] was unsuccessful.

had performed glucometer calibrations while working the 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM shift on the 200 Hall. She
stated she had been trained in performing the calibration tests and the solutions were used to test the
machines for high and low readings. LVN D stated she recalled using the control solutions but did not recall
checking for an expiration date on the box.
Residents Affected - Few
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 3:10 PM, ADON A stated it was her responsibility to ensure the
glucometer calibrations were completed properly. She stated the nurses had been trained and should have
known to check the expiration dates on the strips and control solutions prior to using them. She stated she
routinely checked the medication carts for expired items as did the pharmacy consultant. ADON A stated
she was not sure what had happened or if one of the nurses possibly grabbed a box of solution from
somewhere else. She stated the risk of using expired solution was it could be ineffective for calibration and
could cause incorrect glucose readings for the residents.
