Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, administering, and securing of medications for one (Vista 8 Nurse Medication Cart) of eight medication carts observed for Pharmaceutical Services, in that: LVN A did not continue to count, maintain, or periodically reconcile three medication blister packs of a controlled drug ([MEDICATION(S)] - a schedule II narcotic pain reliever) that remained on the Vista 8 medication cart after Resident #1's discharge from the facility on [DATE]. This failure risks possible drug diversion due to controlled medications accessible to staff after a resident's discharge from the facility. The findings were: Resident #1's closed clinical records indicated the resident was a [AGE] year-old admitted to the facility on [DATE] to Vista 8 - Room 802. Resident #1 had medically complex conditions and diagnoses, including Muscle Weakness (Generalized); Unsteadiness on Feet; Difficulty in Walking, Not Elsewhere Class; Need for Assistance with Personal Care; And Dysphagia, Oral Phase. An MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident had a BIMS score of 09, which indicate a moderately impaired cognition per staff assessment. The MDS pain assessment indicated Resident #1 received a scheduled and PRN pain medication regimen for occasional pain intensity rated ,d+[DATE] using a numerical rating scale. Resident #1's baseline care plan showed a Left AKA (Above the Knee Amputation) and [CONDITION(S)]/gangrene (dead tissue caused by an infection or lack of blood flow). The baseline care plan interventions included: Physical and Occupational Therapy to strengthen the right lower extremity and body for safe transferring; the bed in a low position; frequent rounding; and call light within reach as fall prevention interventions. High-risk medications identified included [CONDITION(S)], anticoagulant, and pain medication - [MEDICATION(S)]. Record review of Resident#1's Physician's orders dated [DATE] revealed the admitting nurse, RN C, transcribed an order for [MEDICATION(S)] 5 mg tablet [generic] - 0.5 tablet by mouth every 4 hours as needed for Pain. The pharmacy delivered Rx# 099, 84 halved tabs, on [DATE]. Record review of Resident#1's Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form dated [DATE] indicated [MEDICATION(S)] 5 mg 1 tablet was last administered on [DATE] @ 2350 (11:50 PM). The facility failed to provide a copy of Resident #1's PRN (as needed) Medication Administration Record (MAR) for [DATE] upon request by the surveyor. The [DATE] MAR received by the facility only listed scheduled medications and did not show [MEDICATION(S)] 5mg tablets prescribed on a PRN basis, which is requested by the resident as needed for Pain. During an observation on [DATE] at 9:53 AM with LVN A of the Vista 8 nurse medication cart, three medication blister packs wrapped with the matching Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form were discovered in the bottom of the narcotic drawer, separate from other controlled medications. The medication label on the medication blister packs displayed Resident #1's name and reflected Rx# 099 - #1 of 3 (8 half tablets), #2 of 3 (30 half tablets), and #3 of 3 (24 half tablets) with #16 punched out - there were a total of 62 halved tablets. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:53 AM, LVN A said that she wrapped the matching Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form around the three medication blister packs and placed them in the bottom of the drawer about a week ago after learning that Resident #1 had discharged . LVN A could not recall how she learned of the discharge; she thought maybe on the electronic health record (EHR) dashboard. LVN A did not know how long the resident was gone from the facility. LVN A stated the compliance nurse would come through and collect any controlled medications remaining after a resident discharge. LVN A said she had not counted the pills since she placed them at the bottom of the drawer. LVN A stated the risk of not removing the controlled drugs from the medication cart per policy; could forget about the medications, or someone could steal them. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:24 AM, ADON B indicated she generally made daily rounds to ensure expired or unused (after a resident discharge) controlled medications were counted, removed from the medication carts, and delivered to the DON for drug destruction. ADON B said the process of removing drugs was no later than three days after a resident was transferred to the hospital (in case of the resident returns). When asked about Resident #1, ADON B was unsure of the discharge date , then later said it was [DATE]. ADON B denied knowledge of unused narcotics still on the cart. She stated she had not conducted rounds recently to remove controlled medications. She noted the compliance officer had collected controlled medications in the past; however, have informed nurses scheduled on the Vista 8 Unit to notify her to remove drugs from the medication cart. ADON B said the nurses had received training to count pills and do reconciliation. ADON B said the count was supposed to be done for each controlled medication on each shift, including discontinued and unused drugs for discharged residents until removed. On [DATE] at 10:47 AM, ADON B accompanied the surveyor to the Vista 8 Nurse Medication Cart, where the discovered medications remained. ADON B told LVN A that she is to give all unused medications after a resident discharge, including controlled drugs, to ADON B as soon as possible. ADON B and LVN A verified the count of the three medication blister packs of [MEDICATION(S)]. ADON B made a new entry on the Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form with the date, circled the total number of pills, and both nurses signed alongside the count. ADON B stated that she would generally lock controlled drugs in a desk drawer in her office or take them to the DON if not busy but would take them to DON now. The DON met ADON B and the surveyor at her office on the 5th floor. The DON unlocked the door to gain entrance into her office. ADON B and DON confirmed the count of the three medication blister packs of [MEDICATION(S)], and the DON unlocked a cabinet to store the medications. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:56 AM, the DON stated there was no risk for not logging receipt of the medications right away, why would I need to log the medications in right away when we both signed, and we know I received them? When asked what the system was to account for the receipt of all controlled drugs and to prevent drug diversion, it was at that time that the DON logged in the medications brought by the ADON B onto a Drug Destruction Inventory List. The DON stated she is responsible for the control of medication for disposal and must schedule an hour or two on Fridays just to log in medications because she does not always have time. The DON said if she didn't log in the medications upon receipt, liquid medications could spill on them, or a pill could pop out of the blister pack. The DON stated the purpose of the Drug Destruction Inventory List is to account for all controlled medication for destruction. The DON said if a prescription were not on the Drug Destruction Inventory List, the pharmacist, nor anyone else, would know of the medicine, and if it were not on the log, it could go unnoticed or stolen. In an interview on [DATE] at 5:26 PM, the Administrator said the nurses should know to remove discharged residents and discontinued medications from their medication carts. The Administrator said nurses were in-serviced by the DON and ADONs (ADON B - Vista 8 and ADON D - Vista 5, Vista 7) on drug diversion and proper protocols for counting narcotics, destroying narcotics, and managing medication carts on [DATE] to prevent drug diversion or accidental exposure. Controlled medications are given to the DON to log and secure for destruction. Review of the facility's Discontinued Medications, Med Pass policy revised [DATE] stated, in part, the following: Discontinued medication must be destroyed or returned . following established procedures. Review of the facility's Drug Diversion policy dated [DATE] stated, in part, the following: Controlled substances in Schedules II, III, and IV are subject to special handling, storage, disposal, and record-keeping requirements. The Director of Nursing is responsible for the control of such drugs. A physical inventory of these medications will be made at the change of each nursing shift. A review of the facility's Discarding and Destroying Medications, Med Pass policy revised in [DATE] stated, in part, the following: Disposal of controlled substances must take place immediately (no longer than three days) after discontinuation of use by the resident.
