Licensed [MEDICATION NAME] Nurse (LPN) #1 stole [MEDICATION NAME] 5 mg intended for Resident #3. The findings included: Review of LPN #1's statement on 10/23/17 at approximately 11:30 AM revealed LPN #1 took medication ([MEDICATION NAME] 5 mg) from Resident #3 and began a few months prior to confessing on 9/1/17. Review of the facility investigation summary on 10/23/17 at approximately 11:40 AM revealed that Resident #3's 30 tablets of [MEDICATION NAME] 5 mg appeared on a pharmacy receipt requisition document. Two days later the same resident's medication was written to have zero pills remaining, despite Resident #3 not receiving any as needed [MEDICATION NAME] 5 mg. The facility concluded the allegation of misappropriation of property was substantiated. Review LPN #1's statement on 10/23/17 at approximately 12:15 PM revealed LPN #1 resigned on 9/1/17 for taking medication from Resident #3. Interview with the administrator on 10/23/17 at approximately 2:40 PM revealed LPN #1 would take [MEDICATION NAME] and then zero out the card by forging a second nursing signature. This was only discovered when LPN #2 attempted to remove the [MEDICATION NAME] 5 mg because it had been discontinued. Interview with LPN #2 on 10/23/17 at approximately 3:40 PM revealed Resident #3's [MEDICATION NAME] 5 mg had been discontinued since the resident had not needed it for three months. LPN #2 attempted to remove it from the med cart and realized there was no medication in it. Since Resident #3 had been moved from Unit 1, LPN #2 asked Unit 1 if the medication had been discontinued and removed there. Upon learning that they had not done so, she alerted the administrator and the investigation began. Review of Controlled Drug Inventory Form on 10/23/17 at approximately 4:30 PM revealed that LPN #1 did zero out the medications of Resident #3 on 6/20/17, 6/24/17 and 6/29/17. LPN #1 initialed and forged a second set of initials. 2020-09-01
