. Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to assure the safe storage of drugs and biologicals, by retaining a vial of immunization past the manufacturer's expiration date and storing it in a refrigeration rather than in the freezer as recommended. This practice had the potential to affect any resident with orders for this medication. Facility census: 34. Findings include: a) On 05/11/10 at 9:20 a.m., observation of the facility's medication storage room, including the medication storage refrigerator used to store all medications requiring refrigeration for facility residents, found a boxed ampul with a label reading "Varicella Virus Vaccine". The labeled box also stated the medication should be stored at an average temperature of 5 degrees Fahrenheit (F), and the noted expiration date of the medication was 19 March 2010. The refrigerator temperature at that time was 46 degrees F. Two (2) licensed practical nurses (LPNs - Employees #21 and #22) were present at the time ,and although neither of the nurses had any idea why the medication was there or who it was for, they both confirmed the medication was beyond the expiration date and was not stored as recommended on the label. . |
