The facility's follow up report to the investigation, dated 8/31/2023, indicated LPN 1 admitted to placing a Percocet (a narcotic medication used for pain) in her pocket. She indicated she had signed out the Percocet thinking it was scheduled routinely instead of PRN (as needed).

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure accurate dispensing, administering, reconciling and disposal of medications for 12 of 57 residents in the facility. (Residents B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N and O) Findings include: 1. The record review for Resident B began on [DATE] at 1:59 p.m. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The most recent quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment dated [DATE] indicated a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) of ,[DATE] which indicated the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. The PHQ-9 (depression screen) was scored at a 6 (mild depression). There were no behaviors or [MEDICAL CONDITION]. The resident required a limited assist of 1 person for bed mobility, transfers, locomotion on unit, dressing, toileting and personal hygiene and supervision of 1 person for locomotion off unit and eating. The resident had scheduled and prn (as needed) pain medications, had occasional pain which did not make it hard for her to sleep at night or limit day to day activities. Pain was rated at 4 (moderate pain). The current Physician orders [REDACTED]. Both medications were controlled substances and required to be double locked and signed out by nursing staff A review of the (MONTH) (YEAR), January, February, and (MONTH) 2019 MARs (Medication Administration Records) as compared to the Controlled Drug Administration Record for Resident B for the [MEDICATION NAME] indicated on [DATE] at 7:15 p.m., 1 tab was signed out by QMA (Qualified Medication Aide) 13, but not documented on the MAR (Medication Administration Record) as administered. On [DATE], an [MEDICATION NAME] tab was signed out at 7:40 p.m. by LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 3 but not documented on the MAR as administered. An interview with LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 4 on [DATE] at 9:20 a.m., indicated if Resident B requested her [MEDICATION NAME] pain medication, she would obtain the medication from the locked narcotic drawer in the medication cart. She indicated she would sign out the medication on the Controlled Drug Administration Record, administer the medication to the resident and then document the administration on the resident's MAR. LPN 4 was asked if she would observe a narcotic medication signed out on the Controlled Drug Administration Record, but not documented on the MAR, what would she do. LPN 4 indicated she would go by the sign out of the narcotic on the controlled substance record as the MAR was not always accurate. She indicated the sure way of knowing a narcotic was administered was if it was signed out on the narcotic sheet or obtained from TED (Technology Enabled Dispensing, a medication dispensing machine). A review of the klonopin Controlled Drug Administration Record for Resident B as compared to the MARs from (MONTH) (YEAR) through (MONTH) 2019, indicated several dates were marked as administered on the MARs without the corresponding klonopin being signed out on the Controlled Drug Administration record. A review of the 4 MARs for the klonopin indicated entries by nursing staff were marked for the administration of the klonopin without the corresponding sign outs on the controlled substance records as follows: 3 entries for the (MONTH) (YEAR) MAR for ,[DATE], ,[DATE] and [DATE], all for the noon doses. 6 entries for the (MONTH) 2019 MAR for ,[DATE], ,[DATE] and [DATE] for noon administration and ,[DATE] , ,[DATE], and [DATE] for the 6:00 p.m. dose. 5 entries for the (MONTH) 2019 MAR for ,[DATE], ,[DATE], ,[DATE] and [DATE] for the noon dose and for [DATE] for the 6:00 p.m. dose. 2 entries for the (MONTH) 2019 MAR for [DATE] at noon and for [DATE] at 6:00 p.m. 2. The record review for Resident C began on [DATE] at 9:19 a.m. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The most recent quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident C was rarely/never understood, was totally dependent on 1 person for bed mobility, eating, dressing, personal hygiene and bathing, and was totally dependent on 2 persons for transfers and locomotion on/off unit. The resident was marked as receiving routine and prn pain medications. The resident's indicators of pain or possible pain in the last 5 days were non-verbal sounds, facial expressions and had these indicators of pain ,[DATE] days in the past 5 days. The resident had 7 days of opioids administered in the last 7 days. The current Physician orders [REDACTED]. The (MONTH) (YEAR) through the (MONTH) 2019 MARs for Resident C's [MEDICATION NAME] were compared to the TED report for the [MEDICATION NAME] controlled substance access for the same time period. The nursing staff who accessed TED for the [MEDICATION NAME] were not always the same nursing staff who documented the administration of the [MEDICATION NAME] in the MAR. The comparison also indicated the following: The [DATE] and the [DATE] [MEDICATION NAME] doses were documented on the MAR as administered, but there was not a corresponding dispensing date and time for the 2 doses on the TED report. There were 3 doses of [MEDICATION NAME] dispensed on [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE] and [DATE]. The MAR for the [DATE] bedtime dose of [MEDICATION NAME] was blank and the TED report indicated 2 doses of [MEDICATION NAME] were dispensed on [DATE] at 1:43 a.m. and 2:49 p.m. Resident C was transferred out of the facility on [DATE] in the late afternoon and returned on [DATE] in the evening. The TED report for the [MEDICATION NAME] indicated the medication was dispensed 5 times during the resident's absence (,[DATE] at 11:18 p.m., ,[DATE] at 12:10 a.m. and 2:56 p.m., and on ,[DATE] at 7:20 a.m. and 2:52 p.m.) The MAR for the ,[DATE] bedtime dose was marked LOA (leave of absence). The MAR for ,[DATE] for the morning and bedtime dose was marked with a number 6 (hospitalized ). The MAR for the ,[DATE] morning dose was marked with a number 6 and bedtime dose was marked with an X. The MAR for ,[DATE] morning and bedtime dose was marked with an X. The MAR for ,[DATE] was marked with nursing staff initials as administered at both times. A review of a Controlled Drug Administration Record with a [DATE] date on it indicated 4 [MEDICATION NAME] for Resident C were dispensed from TED and 1 was given at 8:00 p.m., with 3 remaining. An interview with the DON (Director of Nursing), ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing) and the RCO (Regulatory Compliance Officer) on [DATE] at 12:05 p.m., indicated Resident C had [MEDICATION NAME] signed out by nursing staff per the pharmacy report without documentation on the MAR. The ADON found 1 controlled substance record for Resident C for one [MEDICATION NAME] during the time of her hospitalization . 3. The record review for Resident D began on [DATE] at 2:52 p.m. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The most recent quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated a BIMS of ,[DATE] which indicated Resident D was cognitively intact. The resident required supervision with set up help for bed mobility, transfers, walk in corridor/room, locomotion on/off unit, dressing, eating, toileting, bathing and personal hygiene. The resident received scheduled pain medications and no pain at the present. The current Physician orders [REDACTED]. Resident D had taken 4 doses of the [MEDICATION NAME] since ordered, one time on ,[DATE] and ,[DATE], and 3 times on [DATE]. Documentation was present on the MAR and the controlled substance record for all 4 administrations. The resident had [MEDICATION NAME] HCL 50 mg ordered routine 4 times daily for pain on [DATE]. A review of Resident D's MARs from (MONTH) (YEAR) through (MONTH) 2019 and the TED reports for the controlled substance access were compared. The TED reports indicated the [MEDICATION NAME] was dispensed from TED on several occasions by one nursing staff and administered to the resident by another nursing staff. More than 1 dose of [MEDICATION NAME] was dispensed from the TED on several shifts, some at the same time or within minutes of each dispense. On [DATE] at 9:00 p.m. and on [DATE] at 1:00 p.m., the dose of [MEDICATION NAME] was recorded as being dispensed from TED but was not documented as administered in the MAR. The TED report indicated the [MEDICATION NAME] was removed from the TED on [DATE] at 8:11 p.m. and on [DATE] at 12:28 p.m. An interview and observation of the medication room with the CSR Pharmacy Tech and the ADON on [DATE] at 11:40 a.m., indicated the medication dispensing machine, TED packaged and dispensed the medications for the residents per hall each day. The CSR Pharmacy Tech indicated the nurse or QMA had to access the computer and enter the hall and the resident name for the controlled substance. She indicated TED would only dispense what was ordered and would not dispense a controlled substance if there was not an active order or the order was expired. There were 4 cameras observed in the room. An interview with LPN 6 on [DATE] at 3:05 p.m., indicated if she had observed or suspected any nursing staff of diverting narcotic medications, she would report it right away to the DON or Administrator. LPN 6 explained if she did not give a resident a medication, she would have documented it in the resident's notes, put the medication in a plastic bag, and placed it in the medication room with a note for the CSR Pharmacy Tech. An interview with LPN 7 and RN (Registered Nurse) 8 on [DATE] at 9:10 a.m., indicated they would get the narcotic medications from TED. RN 8 indicated there was an option to get all the narcotics at once for the resident for the day and the packages would have the date and times printed on them for administration. RN 8 indicated sometimes TED dispensed too many medications and they would create a facility controlled substance count sheet for these and would secure them in the locked drawer of the medication cart. RN 8 indicated she pulled only the narcotics she was going to dispense and if a resident refused the medication, she would document and then destroy the medication. She indicated she did not know how the facility destroyed refused medications. An interview with QMA 5 on [DATE] at 10:51 a.m., indicated she obtained narcotics from TED for each resident administration. She indicated at one time, for the routine narcotic medications, if you entered all, TED would dispense all the narcotics for the residents in your area. She indicated if a resident had a card for a controlled substance in the medication cart, she would sign out the narcotic at the time the medication was due. An interview with the DON, ADON, the RCO and the CSR Pharmacy Tech on [DATE] at 10:57 a.m., indicated they were not aware of the lack of documentation of the administration of the [MEDICATION NAME] in the MAR after it was signed out on the Controlled Drug Administration Record for Resident B. The DON indicated when a narcotic was signed out on the controlled substance record, it should be documented by the nurse/QMA on the MAR. The ADON indicated the staff had been educated about this. Further interview with the group, indicated they were not aware about several dates where Resident B's klonopin was marked as administered on the MAR but lacked a sign out on Resident B's klonopin controlled substance record. Continued interview with the group, indicated for Residents C and D, there were discrepancies in the pharmacy report for their controlled substance records as compared to the MARs. An interview with the DON, ADON, CSR Pharmacy Tech, RCO and the Administrator on [DATE] at 11:10 a.m., indicated TED would only dispense medications with active orders and there was not a need to reconcile the TED reports logs for the controlled substances with the residents' MARs. The DON indicated every nurse pulls their own narcotic medications to administer. The TED controlled substance reports were reviewed for Residents C and D and the staff initials who pulled the controlled substance from TED did not match the nursing staff who administered the narcotic medication. The TED report was reviewed and the group was made aware of 3 controlled substance tablets were dispensed in one day, where the order was for 2 of the controlled substance in a day. The ADON indicated the times in TED were wrong when she came to the facility and the CSR Pharmacy Tech had fixed them. The TED also dispensed more tablets than was requested and the extra would go on a facility narcotic count sheet. An interview with LPN 3 on [DATE] at 3:07 p.m., indicated for controlled substances, some are on cards in the medication cart locked drawer and there was a narcotic count sheet for the controlled substance that would be used to sign out the medication for administration. For the other controlled substances, they are obtained from the TED in the medication room. The nurse indicated a user name and password were required in order to access TED. She indicated she would get her controlled substance medication at the time it needed to be given and she preferred only to sign them out herself and administer them herself. The nurse indicated she had to get the controlled substances out of TED for agency staff. She indicated for new orders or prn orders, if the order was not in TED, she would have to contact the pharmacy to get the authorization code for the medication to dispense. This would require second nurse log into the system with their password in order to dispense the controlled substance. She indicated there was a time when TED dispensed more tablets than was requested and she reported it to the ADON and destroyed the excess medications in the sharps container. She indicated if she noted any discrepancies in the controlled substance counts or documentation, she would notify the DON, ADON and the Administrator. An interview with the DON and the Administrator on [DATE] at 8:35 a.m., indicated there was not a system in place where the facility checked the pharmacy report for the dispensing of the controlled substances against the MAR documentation, or to check if the nurse pulling the controlled substance was the same nurse who administered the controlled substance, or to verify the MAR was documented with the administration of the controlled substance and if more than one dose of the controlled substance was being pulled from TED by the nursing staff at one time. An interview with the Administrator, DON, ADON and the RCO on [DATE] at 9:19 a.m., indicated the DON received a TED report daily for the as needed controlled substances. The report was used to watch for drug diversions. The DON indicated this prn controlled substance TED report was a tool to investigate further a nurse was pulling several controlled substances, like 15, for prn administration. The DON indicated she did not get a report for the routine prescribed controlled substances from TED. They were made aware after a review of Resident C and Resident D's controlled substance report from TED, there were nursing staff that pulled 2 of the controlled substance doses at the same time and were not necessarily the same nurse that administered the medications. The facility policy indicated the routine daily controlled medications from the dispensing unit would be done each shift by the nurse administering the medication. The DON and the RCO indicated the facility policy may not have been the most current policy. They also indicated the when the staff would pull more than one dose of the controlled substance medications, a controlled substance paper record would be completed for the extra medications and placed in the narcotic book at the medication cart. Further interview with the group, indicated the third shift nurse at a previous time would pull all the routine medications for the next day including the routine controlled medications for the residents. An interview with the DON on [DATE] at 10:30 a.m., indicated she was changing the facility controlled substance policy as of today. She was deleting the part of the policy that indicated done each shift by the nurse administering the medication. 4. An observation of a cardboard box removed from the shred box by the nurse station on [DATE] at 11:52 a.m., indicated there were plastic medication sheets inside the box. An interview with the Social Service Director at this time, indicated the facility shreds the plastic medication sheets dispensed by TED as the residents' names were on the sheets. There were plastic medication sheets observed in the box with medications still inside them. One package contained 3 pills and another package had 1 pill. A total of 13 packages of medications were found in the shred box. A copy of the medication sheets with medications still inside the package was provided by the RCO on [DATE] at 2:14 p.m. There were 12 plastic medications sheets with 17 medications removed from the shred bin. The RCO indicated sometimes the TED dispenses more doses of medication than was requested. The RCO was unable to say why these medications were in the shred box and why they were not administered to the residents. A copy of each resident's MAR was provided by the CRO on [DATE] at 3:43 p.m. Fifteen medications were marked as administered on the 10 individual residents' MARs. Two medications dispensed from the TED did not have current orders from the physician and were not administered. The following residents had medications in the shred box: Resident C - [MEDICATION NAME] 2 x 325 mg take contents at ,[DATE] 08:00 p.m. This medication was not documented as given on the MAR for [DATE] at 8:00 p.m. Resident C had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].
