Resident #59 (Resident R59)
On 8/27/24 at 11:06 AM, LPN 'A' was observed at the medication cart located on the North East Unit. LPN 'A' was observed going through the double locked box that contained controlled substance medications and comparing the number of pills with what was written on the controlled substance count sheet. LPN 'A' was observed writing on the count sheet without removing a tablet from the supply.
At that time, LPN 'A' was interviewed and the controlled substance count sheet was observed. It was for Resident R59 (klonopin - an antianxiety medication). LPN 'A' dated the entry 8/27/24 at 9:00 AM (two hours earlier) and documented that he removed one pill from the supply with a total count of 13 pills. When queried about why
he documented that a pill was removed when it was not, LPN 'A' reported he gave the medication earlier in
the morning but did not document it on the count sheet. When queried about the appropriate process for accounting for controlled substances, LPN 'A' reported he should have documented the removal of the pill at
the time it was removed and administered.
On 8/27/24 at approximately 3:00 PM, the DON was interviewed. The DON reported that any controlled substance that was removed from the supply should be documented on the associated count sheet for that medication at the time it was removed.
