Failure to Document Controlled Medication Disposal: The facility did not properly document disposal of controlled meds for five residents. Controlled drug records showed remaining Morphine, Oxycodone-Acetaminophen, and Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen that were due for disposal, but no disposal documentation was available. The DON and ADON stated there was no record for meds from hospice sources or the emergency med cart.
A facility failed to securely store medications, leaving them in a resident's room. Despite policies requiring locked storage and assessments for self-administration, a resident with multiple diagnoses and a BIMS score of 15 was not assessed for self-administration. Hylands Restful Legs tablets were found on the resident's nightstand, contrary to policy. Interviews with an LPN and the Interim DON confirmed the error.
A facility failed to ensure proper infection control measures were followed by an LPN during blood glucose monitoring. The LPN did not clean the glucometer after use on a resident, contrary to the facility's policy requiring cleaning after each use to prevent infection spread. The LPN and the Interim DON confirmed the failure to adhere to the policy.
Failure to Document Disposal of Controlled Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly document the disposal of controlled medications for 5 of 5 sampled residents reviewed for controlled medication disposition. Review of the facility’s policies on Management of Controlled Substances and Destruction on Medication showed that the facility was to maintain a system to account for the receipt and disposition of controlled medications in sufficient detail to allow accurate reconciliation, and that records of receipt and disposition of all controlled drugs were to be established and maintained. Resident #41 had an order for Morphine Sulfate concentrate solution for pain and dyspnea, and the controlled drug record showed 28.50 ml remaining for disposal, but the facility could not provide documentation of the medication’s disposal. Resident #72 had an order for Morphine Sulfate concentrated oral solution for pain and shortness of breath related to Multiple Sclerosis, and the controlled drug record showed 29.75 ml remaining for disposal, with no disposal documentation available. Resident #74 had an order for Oxycodone-Acetaminophen for pain related to a left femur fracture, and the controlled drug record showed 6 tablets remaining for disposal, but no documentation of disposal was provided. Resident #75 had an order for Morphine Sulfate oral solution for pain, and the controlled drug record showed 26.25 ml remaining for disposal, with no disposal documentation available. Resident #76 had an order for Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen for pain, and the controlled drug record showed 30 tablets remaining for disposal, but the facility could not provide documentation of disposal. During interview, the DON stated there was no record documenting disposal of medications obtained from outside pharmaceutical sources used by hospice or from the facility’s emergency medication cart, and the ADON stated there was no documentation on the disposal of controlled medications from outside pharmaceutical sources or the facility’s emergency medication cart.
Medication Storage Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that medications were properly and securely stored, as evidenced by medications being left in a resident's room. The facility's policy mandates that all drugs and biologicals be stored in locked compartments, accessible only to authorized personnel, and prohibits the administration or provision of bedside medications without a physician's order and approval by the interdisciplinary care team. However, during a random observation, three white tablets were found in a medication cup on a resident's nightstand, indicating a breach of this policy. The resident involved was admitted with diagnoses including osteoarthritis, diabetes, fibromyalgia, and fusion of the spine, and was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15. Despite this, the resident was not assessed for self-administration of medication, nor was there a care plan in place for self-administration. The medication in question, Hylands Restful Legs, was prescribed to be taken as needed, but was left at the bedside, contrary to the facility's policy. Interviews with an LPN and the Interim Director of Nursing confirmed that the medication should not have been left at the bedside.
Infection Control Breach During Blood Glucose Monitoring
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) followed proper infection control measures during blood glucose monitoring, which could potentially lead to the spread of infection and cross-contamination. The facility's policy, dated 9/20/2023, requires cleaning and disinfecting glucometers after each resident use to prevent the spread of blood-borne pathogens. However, during an observation on 7/23/2024, the LPN did not clean the glucometer after performing a blood glucose check on a resident, contrary to the facility's policy. In an interview conducted later that day, the LPN acknowledged the failure to clean the glucometer before and after use. The Interim Director of Nursing also confirmed that the glucometer should be cleaned before and after each resident use, as per the facility's policy.
