Interview with LVN C at 10:52 AM on 03/07/24 revealed the insulin pen for Resident #12 came from the Emergency Box and that was why it was not properly labeled. She stated she would order the medication for Resident #12. She stated The Insulin for Resident #11 was not labeled correctly because the order had been changed and the nurse did not request a label change from the pharmacy and notify them of the order change. She stated it was the nurses responsibility to order medications when they were out and to monitor to see if the medications were labeled properly with the resident's name, dose, medication name and expiration date. She stated failure to do could result in the resident receiving the wrong medication or dosage. Interview with the Director of Nurses (DON) on 03/07/24 at 02:27 PM the DON's response was the nurses were responsible for checking the medication carts and medication rooms for expired medications on a routine basis. She stated they should check for medications needing label changes daily. She stated it was the nurse that took a new orders responsibility to notify the pharmacy of the medication change and a label change. She stated failure to do so could result in a med error. Record review of the facility policy Recommended Medication storage, undated, stated If the physicians directions for use change or the pharmacy types an error on the label and it is impractical to return the medication to the pharmacy for re-labeling, the nurses place a signal label on the container indicating there is a change in directions for use. When such a label appears on the container, the medication nurse checks the resident's current medication administration record or the physicians order for up-to-date information. If the directions for use change the provider pharmacy should be informed prior to the next refill.
