Resident B indicated while in the facility, had received pain pills and a pain patch. Resident B indicated did not ask for pain pills every day due to having a pain patch that took care of most of the pain. During an interview on 5/18/23 at 7:59 A.M., QMA 5 indicated a count of all narcotic medications should be completed by staff at every shift change, and should be signed off by the off-going staff as well as the on-coming staff in the narcotic medication binder located on the medication cart. QMA 5 indicated any time a resident was given a narcotic pain medication, the staff administering the medication should be signing off on the narcotic binder as well as the resident's electronic MAR that it was given. QMA 5 indicated when a new narcotic medication was received or when a medication was finished, staff should write it on the back of the sign sheet in the narcotic binder. During an interview on 5/18/23 at 8:22 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated while making rounds on 5/5/23, the QMA on the 600 Hall requested assistance with medications. While the QMA was going through the narcotic binder, a folded paper came out of it. Upon review, the folded paper was a narcotic count sheet for Norco belonging to Resident B. At that time, the DON began a search for the medication card that would have come with the narcotic count sheet, but it could not be located. The DON indicated all other medication carts and medication storage rooms were searched, then the Administrator was notified when the medications could not be located. The DON indicated there was documentation that the medication was delivered from the pharmacy on 4/23/23, and all staff that had the medication cart keys were interviewed but no one recalled the medications being in the building that day.

At that time, the DON indicated staff was supposed to sign off on narcotic medications given in the resident's electronic MAR as well as in the binder, but sometimes the nurses were not very good at signing off for medications given in the resident's MAR. The med bank documentation for Resident B indicated Norco was administered once on 4/14/23 and once on 4/15/23. During an interview on 5/18/23 at 9:52 A.M., the Lead Pharmacist indicated when delivering narcotic pain medications, the receiving staff at the facility would sign off that they were received and keep a copy, as well as the delivery driver.

On 3/13/23 at 11:46 A.M., Resident 12 was observed sitting in his wheelchair eating breakfast at the table in his room. At that time, a box with a prescription label indicating diclofenac sodium 1% topical gel (gel prescribed to rub on joints to relieve pain from arthritis) was observed laying on his bedside table and the resident indicated that he used it and staff were aware he had it at bedside. On 3/16/23 at 8:53 A.M., Resident 12's clinical record was reviewed. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Parkinson's disease, diabetes mellitus type II, and cellulitis of left lower limb.

A lab report indicated the resident's potassium level was 2.8 on 5/13/11, with normal ranges being 3.5-5.4. A follow-up potassium level, on 5/16/11, was noted to be 2.6. The error in transcription was reviewed with the physician's Nurse Practitioner, on 5/16/11 at 10:55 a.m. She indicated the [MEDICATION NAME] being given more frequently than ordered would account for the low potassium level, and indicated she was unaware of the error. The Director of Nursing indicated, on 5/16/11 at 11:00 a.m., she would need to review the orders and the MAR. At 11:30 a.m., she indicated it did appear there was an error, however, she pointed out the Nurse Practitioner had seen the resident on 5/12 and 5/13/11 and indicated to continue the same orders, including the [MEDICATION NAME] 40 mg three times a day. According to the Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice Handbook, third edition, hypokalemia (low potassium levels) can be caused by diuretic therapy. Signs and symptoms of hypokalemia included weakness, lethargy, anorexia, abdominal distention, decreased bowel sounds, and muscle tenderness. The manual indicated hypokalemia resulted more quickly with loop diuretic therapy, such as [MEDICATION NAME] ([MEDICATION NAME]). The Director of Health Services was interviewed on 5/16/11 at 3:00 p.m. She indicated the procedure for reviewing new admission orders [REDACTED]. In this case, she indicated there were 4 new admissions that date. LPN #2 took the orders off of the admission orders [REDACTED]. RN #2 was supposed to review the orders for accuracy an additional time.

The label indicated two tablets were to be given twice a day. There were 24 tablets left at the time of the review. RN #1 was present and indicated she had given two tablets that morning. Ten (10) tablets should have been missing for 5 doses of 40 meq each. RN #1 then checked the Emergency Drug Kit (EDK). No doses of potassium had been signed out for Resident #62. This information was reviewed with the Director of Health Services (DoHS) on 5/16/11 at 3:00 p.m. She indicated the back up pharmacy could have provided some doses and she would check. At 3:45 p.m., she reported they could find no further evidence of additional medication being provided, so he must have gotten half the potassium dose over the weekend, i.e. 20 meq twice a day instead of 40 meq twice a day. 3.1-25(b)(9) 3.1-48(c)(2)
