The flex pens were opened but not labeled with an opening date on the pen itself. One flexpen was labeled with Lot mumber EZF0626 with an expiration date of ,[DATE]. The second flexpen was labeled with Lot number EZF0611 with an expiration date of ,[DATE]. On [DATE] at 11:28AM the Registered Nurse (RN) supervisor was interviewed and stated,The pens and the plastic bags are supposed to be labeled with an opening date. On [DATE] at 11:38AM the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was interviewed and stated, The nurse who opens the flex pen is supposed to put the date that it is opened on the pen. There is a date on the plastic bag holding the flex pen, but I do not check the flex pen itself. I do not check the insulin pen itself if I do not give it. It was an oversight. On [DATE] at 11:10:AM the 4th floor RN Supervisor was interviewed and stated, When we start a bottle or pen of insulin they should label the date of opening on the vial or pen and on the ziplock plastic bag we keep it in. I was taught when you start an insullin pen you date the pen and the plastic bag holding it if there is one. The facility policy says to date the plastic bag that holds the pen. The facility policy does not say to label the insulin pen with a start date. The policy says to label the insulin pen with an expire date. Once an insulin pen is opened it is good for 28 days. 2) On [DATE] at 10:49AM during a check of medication storage one bottle of PPD approximately 90% full was found in the medication refrigerator in the 1st floor Nursing Office.

All the nurses have the responsibility that if they take out a bottle PPD, or insulin or any vaccine flu or pneumovax they are supposed to date the vial and the box. It is my rsponsibility to check this refrigerator every day for the proper temperature, for expired medication and to make sure the vials are properly labeled with a date of opening . I see the vial is appeoximately 90% full and not labeled with an opening date. On [DATE] 10:00 AM ADON was interviewed and stated, Once a vial of PPD is opened it is good for 30 days. If I find a vial that is not dated I would throw it out. I can't determine that 30 days have passed if there is no date on the bottle. For Novolog pen insuin if it is opened it is good for 30 days. If it is not labeled there is no way to know that the 30 days are up. The manufacturers labeling on the box containing the vial of PPD documents, Once entered, vial should be discarded after 30 days. The manufacturers package insert for Novolog FlexTouch Pens documents, The NovologFlexTouch Pen you are using should be thrown away after 28 days, even if it still has insulin left in it. 415.18(d)

F514D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility did not ensure that the clinical record accurately documented the status of a resident's pressure ulcer. This was evident for 1 of 30 sampled residents (Resident #6). This resulted in no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm. The finding is: Resident # 6 is an [AGE] year-old with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] documented the resident had severely impaired cognition. The MDS further documented that the resident had no pressure ulcers. On 1/31/13 at 10:40 AM a wound care observation was conducted and revealed a small, unstageable opening on the sacrum. The surrounding skin on the sacral area was reddened. A Nursing Note dated 12/12/12 documented: "Resident noted c (with) (R) (Right) buttock open area 0.75 cm (centimeters) x (by) 1cm in size. Wound base pink with shiny granular appearance. " Nursing Notes dated 12/13/12 to 1/31/13 were reviwed. The resident's sacral pressure ulcer was consistently documented as a ( R) buttock pressure ulcer. The Weekly Physician's Pressure Ulcer Record sheets from 12/13/12 to 1/31/13 were reviewed. The sheets documented the resident had a Stage 3 pressure ulcer on the (R) buttock for that time-frame, except 1/17/13 when the wound was described as unstageable. The latest entry was 1/31/13. On 1/31/13 at 1:12 PM, the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS), who documented the initial note on 12/12/12, was interviewed and stated that she informed the Nurse Practitioner (NP) that the resident had a sacral wound.
