since placed a list of medications that should not be crushed on all units accessible to the nurses administering medications. LPN #150 was the one that administered Narcan to Resident #105, after she got the order when calling the provider. She stated within 60 seconds of receiving the Narcan, the resident was talking per his usual. He was alert, drinking, and eating supper. The wife wanted the resident sent to

the ER, despite the resident saying he felt fine. They sent him to the ER as requested by the family and as agreed to by the resident. He returned a short time later with no new orders. On 10/16/25 at 2:10 P.M., an

interview with facility's Director of Nursing (DON) revealed RN #100 was in the building when the medication error involving Resident #105 on 09/30/25 occurred. She was informed there had been a change in Resident #105's condition, which included confusion. When RN #100 was looking into the resident's change in condition, LPN #150 said Oh my God, I crushed his Morphine. RN #100 had reached out to the resident's provider and got an order for Narcan. Resident #105 had positive results to the Narcan and was back to his baseline. His wife wanted him sent out to the ER anyway. He was found to be at baseline when he was evaluated at the hospital. She confirmed she was the one that completed the medication error report the day after the medication error occurred. She spoke with the unit manager (RN #100), pulled the nurse's documentation, reviewed the progress notes, and talked with the PA, as part of her review. She stated they started crushing Resident #105's medications ever since he had thyroid surgery, but not all of his medications. She was not 100% sure if all his medications had been crushed that morning, or if it was just the MS Contin. She confirmed the MS Contin should not be crushed as it was an extended-release tablet and would result in the resident receiving an immediate dose of Morphine 15 mg instead of it being slowly released over a 12 hour period. Review of the facility's Medication Administration policy revised 10/17/23 revealed resident medications were to be administered in an accurate and safe manner. Medications were to be administered in accordance with written orders of the attending physician.

The nurse was to check the Do Not Crush list before crushing medications. If necessary, the nurse was to contact the ordering physician for a change to a different route of administration when the medication could not be crushed.
