Unsecured Storage of Metoprolol at Nurses' Station

Penalty

Summary

The facility failed to ensure that medications were stored in a safe and secure manner on the Hillside Unit. Specifically, two blister pack medication cards, each containing 30 tablets of Metoprolol 50 mg, were found left on the counter at an unlocked nurses' station, making them readily accessible to unauthorized individuals. Facility policy requires that medications and biologicals be stored securely and kept inaccessible to residents and visitors at all times, with access limited to licensed nursing personnel, pharmacy personnel, or staff lawfully authorized to administer medications. The Director of Nurses confirmed during the survey that the medications should not have been left unsecured on the counter and should have been locked in a secure cabinet.
