Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a medication that had been discontinued was not administered by facility staff to 1 of 4 residents reviewed for accuracy of medication receipt. (Resident E, QMA 5)Findings include:In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 8-20-25 at 3:40 p.m. She indicated this was the only medication error that had occurred since the most recent annual survey at the end of June 2025, and was identified on the day after it occurred. She indicated the staff member did not check the resident's medication administration record (MAR) as that staff member would have found out the pain medicine had been DC'd [discontinued]. I preach to the staff to read and double check those MAR's.The clinical record of Resident E was reviewed on 8-21-25 at 3:28 p.m. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to, lung cancer.A review of the progress notes for 7-16-25, failed to identify any documentation of Resident E receiving a dose of as needed, or PRN pain medication on the evening of 7-16-25. The Controlled Drug Receipt Record/Disposition Form, for Resident E's oxycodone 5 milligrams (mg) indicated Qualified Medication Aide (QMA) 5, administered one dose of this medication on 7-16-25 at 8:30 p.m. The last dose, prior to this dose, was received on 7-15-25 at 8:00 p.m. The form indicated the directions for this medication were to take one capsule orally every four hours as needed for pain for seven days, with the original start date listed as 7-9-25, and the form indicated 30 tablets had been received on 7-10-25, with the first dose received on 7-10-25 at 7:00 p.m. It indicated a total of seven doses had been administered to Resident E, including the last dose on 7-16-25 at 8:30 p.m., given by QMA 5. It indicated 23 doses of this medication were disposed of on 7-18-25, which was conducted by a staff nurse and the Assistant Director of Nursing.A review of the MAR for 7-16-25 failed to identify any documentation of Resident E receiving a dose of as needed, or PRN pain medication on the evening of 7-16-25. The entry for oxycodone 5 mg every four hours as needed for pain, indicated the order began on 7-9-25 and had a discontinue date of 7-16-25 at 11:45 a.m. In an interview on 8-22-25 at 9:10 a.m., with the DON, she indicated the facility's investigation identified QMA 5 had not signed the MAR or made an entry into the progress notes. She indicated the order had been discontinued on 7-16-25, on the same day the facility began staff education related to the facility's most recent annual survey related to medication administration citations. The DON indicated the facility did conduct a 72-hour follow-up on the resident with no complications identified. The DON indicated the discontinued order had been updated in the computer system and reflected on the MAR, but the med had not been pulled from the med cart yet, because the nurses aren't allowed to dispose of meds without the DON or ADON [Assistant Director of Nursing] being present. At the time, [name of QMA 5].had been employed about a month or so. This citation relates to Intakes 1656340 and 2564836.3.1-48(c)(2)
