72 HALE MAKUA - KAHULUI 125007 472 KAULANA STREET KAHULUI HI 96732 2019-11-26 755 D 0 1 6SOG11 Based on staff interview and a review of facility records, the facility failed to document the narcotic count log on 1 of 4 units. As a result of this deficiency, there is a risk of potential diversion of controlled medications. Findings include: On 11/22/19 at 09:30 AM, a review of the narcotic log on one of four units found the narcotic log was not completed. On 11/19/19, the off-going (night shift) and the oncoming (day shift) failed to complete the narcotic log. The staff did not document the number of actual narcotic medication counted between the shifts; however, as evidenced by their initials, they attested to the count (which was blank). A review of the individual narcotic count sheets for every resident notes a total of 5 of 11 medications were administered. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)25 confirmed, the facility utilizes the narcotic log as part of a three-check system to count and account for narcotic medications. The count on the narcotic log is used at the change of each shift. One licensed nurse from the off-going and the licensed nurse coming on duty reconcile the narcotic log against the actual narcotic medication (tablets, solutions, patches) stored in the narcotic drawer and the resident's individual narcotic sheet. LPN25 confirmed the narcotic log should not be left blank. 2020-09-01
