50 | WEISER CARE OF CASCADIA | 135010 | 331 EAST PARK STREET | WEISER | ID | 83672 | 2018-06-15 | 761 | E | 0 | 1 | GRQ011 | Based on observation, policy review, and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure expired medications were not available for administration to residents. This was true for 1 of 2 medication storage rooms with expired Pneumococcal vaccine. This failed practice had the potential to effect 12 of 12 sampled residents who could receive expired medications (#2, #3, #4, #7, #8, #9, #16, #19, #20, #29, #30, and #132) and other 23 residents who resided in the facility. This failed practice created the potential for harm should residents receive expired vaccinations with decreased efficiency. Findings include: The facility Medication Management policy dated 11/28/17, documented medications were discarded by the expiration date unless indicated by the pharmacy and/or the manufacturer's instructions to discard sooner. On 6/14/18 at 10:58 AM, a medication room was inspected with RN #4. An unopened multi-dose vial of Pneumococcal vaccine with an expiration date of 9/27/17, was found in the refrigerator. At the time of inspection, RN #4 verified the expiration date and disposed of the expired medication. On 6/14/18 at 11:08 AM, the DON stated it was the staff and administration's responsibility to monitor for expired medications. Residents #2, #3, #4, #7, #8, #9, #16, #19, #20, #29, #30, and #132 and the other 23 residents residing in the facility were at risk of receiving expired Pneumococcal vaccine. | 2020-09-01 |
