Inspection Findings
The facility failed to ensure expired medical supplies were not available for resident use on the crash cart.
This failure could place residents at risk of reduced germ-killing efficacy, skin irritation, contamination risks, and non-sterile cleaning.
Findings include: During an observation on 2/27/26 at 8:05 a.m., the crash cart located at the central nurse's station, revealed there were 86 individual alcohol wipes labeled with an expiration date of 10/3/2024 located in the third from the top drawer of the crash cart. An attempted telephone interview on 2/27/26 at 8:35 a.m. with the night nurse, LVN Q, who signed off checking the crash cart on 2/27/26 was unsuccessful. In an interview on 2/27/26 at 8:05 a.m., ADON O stated night shift was responsible for checking the crash cart each shift and ensuring all medications and supplies were current and accounted for. ADON O stated she occasionally checked the cart behind the night nurses to ensure it was done properly.
The ADON O stated it was important to ensure all supplies, medications, and equipment on the crash cart worked so in the event of an emergency, there were no delays with care and optimal care was provided.
During an interview with the facility administrator on 2/27/26 at 5:35 p.m., the administrator stated the ADONs and pharmacy technician completed cart audits.
The administrator stated the nurses should maintain the cart and go over the check list daily.
The administrator said he expected nursing leadership to monitor that process.
The administrator stated expired medications or supplies that were not good were not effective.
Record review of Medication Access and Storage policy, dated 5/2007 indicated: Procedures: Outdated, contaminated, or deteriorated medications and those in containers that are cracked, soiled, or without secure closures are immediately removed from stock, disposed of according to procedures for medication destruction and reordered from the pharmacy, if a current order exists.
