Cadia Rehab Renaissance: Pharmacy Failures - DE
That was the extent of the identification process.
The facility's Chief Nursing Officer confirmed to inspectors on August 20 that the pills had no label and could not be identified. "We can't assume what they are," she said, "but we can't get rid of them because they are the resident's property." The LPN who handled the pills said staff counted the oxycodone in front of the resident and separated the six purple pills for safety. When pressed on how they determined what those pills were, she said the resident was cooperative and told them. No label. No original container. No verification.
The medication storage problems did not stop there.
On August 19, inspectors checked medication carts across multiple units and found opened bottles of aspirin and Colace on one unit, opened aspirin and Tylenol on another, none of them marked with the date they were first opened. Both nurses on those units confirmed the findings immediately. On the Rehoboth unit, an unused Humalog insulin pen was sitting in a medication cart at room temperature. The pharmacy label on the pen directed staff to keep it refrigerated until opened. The registered nurse on that unit confirmed it on the spot.
The findings were presented to the facility's nursing home administrator, chief operating officer, and chief nursing officer at the exit conference on August 25.
Six purple pills in an oxycodone bottle, identified by the person who brought them in. That was the system.
