RN-E indicated the book should be signed each day at each change of shift. On 10/7/25 at 1:35 PM, Surveyor interviewed DON-B who indicated education regarding signing the Controlled Substance Record Book was completed with all nursing staff on 9/12/25. DON-B provided an undated list of 10 nurse signatures and education material. The education indicated: It is imperative at the beginning of your shift when taking narcotic keys from the nurse who is ending their shift, that you both sign the nurse to nurse controlled substance count verification sheet after narcotics have been counted. This is located in the back of your narcotic record book. This is mandatory on both state and federal levels regarding narcotics. Not completing this will result in progressive disciplinary action that could lead up to and include termination.
