Based on review of facility policy, manufacturer's guidelines, observations, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that medications were properly dated when opened, in one of two medication rooms reviewed (A Hall medication room). Findings include: Review of a facility policy entitled Storage of Medications with a policy review date of 1/5/2026, revealed that, The facility stores all drugs and biologicals in a safe, secure, and orderly manner. Drug containers that have missing, incomplete, improper, or incorrect labels are returned to the pharmacy for proper labeling before storing. Discontinued, outdated, or deteriorated drugs or biologicals are returned to the dispensing pharmacy or destroyed. Manufacturer's guidelines for Aplisol PPD (solution used for tuberculosis testing upon admission and for employment), indicated that, vials in use more than 30 days should be discarded due to possible oxidation and degradation which may affect potency. Observation on 2/26/26, at 11:35 a.m. of the A hall medication room refrigerator revealed an opened vial of Aplisol PPD without an open date, therefore the staff were unable to determine the discard date. During an interview at that time, the Licensed Practical Nurse Employee E1 confirmed that the opened Aplisol PPD vial lacked an open date, and staff were unable to determine the discard date. 28 Pa.
