23 | GUAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AUTHORITY | 655000 | 499 NORTH SABANA DRIVE | BARRIGADA | GU | 96913 | 2017-08-24 | 431 | E | 0 | 1 | 10C511 | Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure all drugs and biologicals were secure. Failure ensure all drugs and biologicals are secure has the potential for a mishap should a resident, visitor or anybody else happen to ingest any unsecured medications. Findings include: On 08/22/2017 the Medication Pass Observation occurred with several facility nurses. During the medication pass observation for Resident 5 Staff 20 poured the mediations at the entrance of the resident's room then, before administering the medication Staff 20 pushed the medication cart to the nurse's station. The staff member left the poured medications for Resident 5 on top of the cart and departed to check on some information. During the period of time for this observation Staff 20 did not request for another staff member to monitor the unsecured medications left on top of the mediation cart. After returning to the nurse's station, Staff 20 proceeded to push the medication cart back to Resident 5's room and administered the medications. Immediately after the Medication Pass Observation during an interview with Staff 20 she acknowledged she no control of what could have happened to the unsecured poured medications that were left on top of the cart. Later that day during a concurrent interview and record review with Staff 3 and Staff 18 regarding the facility policy titled Locking of Medication Cart and Medication Room (Revision date of 02/2016) it was acknowledged that is the facility's expectation for staff to keep medications secured at all times. | 2020-09-01 |
