Summary
During a medication cart inspection, surveyors found that certain medications available for residents were not labeled or dated as required. Specifically, an erythromycin ophthalmic ointment and a Trelegy Ellipta inhaler were discovered without an open date or date of discard. When interviewed, an LPN stated she was unsure how long the ophthalmic ointment was good for and acknowledged that both medications should have been labeled with the open date. This issue was identified on one of two medication carts inspected.
