Harrison Healthcare Center: Bladder Care Violations - IN
The incident involved Resident B, whose family member wanted them to receive a dose of morphine. Instead of following proper procedures, the nurse administered the pain medication from Resident E's bottle without contacting facility leadership.
The violation directly contradicts Harrison Healthcare Center's own medication administration policy, which dates to 2013. The policy explicitly states that staff must observe the "five rights" of medication administration, including giving medication to the right resident.
The facility policy also prohibits sharing or borrowing medications between residents.
Federal inspectors cited the nursing home for the medication error during a complaint investigation completed January 29. The violation received a "minimal harm or potential for actual harm" rating and affected few residents.
The morphine mix-up represents a fundamental breach of medication safety standards. Giving one person's prescription medication to another resident creates risks of adverse drug interactions, incorrect dosing, and potential allergic reactions.
The inspection report does not indicate whether facility administrators disciplined the nurse or implemented additional safeguards following the incident.
Harrison Healthcare Center's executive director provided the facility's medication administration policy to inspectors during the investigation, acknowledging the written protocols that staff failed to follow.
The citation relates to multiple sections of federal nursing home regulations governing medication administration and resident safety.
