Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 06/27/24 at 5:01 p.m. with LVN B, she said all nurses were responsible for checking
their medication carts for expired medications. She said she usually checked for expired medications at the
beginning of her shift but must have overlooked the PRN medications. She said once she discovered
expired medications, she placed them in the discontinued box in the medication storage room. She said the
risk of administering expired medications was it may decrease in potency, and the medication may not be
as effective because the medication was expired.
Residents Affected - Some

responsible for pulling expired medications from the cart to prevent the medications from being
administered to residents. The DON said the strength of the drug would have been reduced and it would
not be effective for the required treatment. The DON also said nurses should not administer medication past
the required used by date or expired date because the medication may not be effective . She said the
medications that were discontinued could place residents at risk for drug diversions or misuse of
medications and should have been removed from the cart and placed immediately in the designated
destruction container.
During an interview on 06/29/24 at 2:15 p.m., the Administrator said she expected discontinued
medications to be removed from the medication carts and put in the destruction box immediately. She said
discontinued or expired medication could put the residents at risk of an adverse event.
