During an interview with the DON on 05/29/2025 at 9:10AM the DON stated it was the night nurses'
responsibility to check the temperatures of the refrigerators and document them on the log. The DON
explained the facility had been utilizing PRN staff on night shift and this could have led to the failure to
check the refrigerator temperatures. The DON explained it was their process to notify Maintenance if the
temperatures were out of range so they can be adjusted. She also stated the medications could be moved
to another refrigerator if the temperatures cannot be modulated. The DON stated a negative outcome of
having medications stored below their recommended storage temperatures could lead to the medication
being compromised and losing their efficacy.
During an interview with Pharmacist on 05/29/2025 at 9:15AM the Pharmacist stated in his professional
opinion, temperatures of 30 degrees did not adversely affect the medications being stored.
During an interview with the Administrator on 05/29/2025 at 2:15PM, he stated the refrigerator
temperatures were to be checked and documented each night. If there were out of range temperatures, the
staff were expected to notify Maintenance.

The facility will ensure that all medications and biologicals will be stored at proper temperatures and other
appropriate environmental controls according to manufacturer's recommendations to preserve their
