SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
Review of the September 2025 control drug record identified on 9/26/25 Resident #1 received Oxycodone 5 milligrams (mg) at 9:30 PM.
Review of the September 2025 Medication Administration Record (MAR) failed to identify documentation that the Oxycodone was administered at 9:30 PM and a follow up response (effective or ineffective) to the as needed medication.
Interview with the 3-11PM nurse, Registered Nurse (RN) #1, on 10/9/25 at 12:45 PM identified on 9/26/25 she administered 5 mg of Oxycodone to Resident #1 around 9:30 PM. RN #1 explained she forgot to enter the administration of the medication into MAR and she believed she had followed up with Resident #1 about an hour later and Resident #1 was resting in bed.
Interview with the Corporate Nurse on 10/9/25 at 1:45 PM identified narcotic sheets are not part of the resident's clinical record and when a medication is administered this should be documented on the MAR or in a nurse's note.
Review of the liberalized medication administration policy directed PRN (as needed) medications are administered as needed for physician's order, with documentation reflecting indication and effectiveness.
Review of the pain management policy directed to document all findings in the resident's medical record.
Reassess pain levels after any intervention to evaluate effectiveness.
Document all pain assessments, interventions and resident responses in the medical record.
