A package of Methotrexate was noted within the pages of the Medication Administration Record(MAR) on the Skilled Unit. The findings included: On 8/21/12 after observing a tube flush at 5:35 PM, this surveyor exited the room to observe the MAR . Within the pages of the MAR a small plastic bag containing 32 Methotrexate 2.5 milligrams pills was discovered. After the Unit Manager exited the room, she was shown the bag containing the Methotrexate. She stated at that time that she had not placed the bag within the pages of the MAR and she did not know who had placed the bag there. She stated that when a drug is received from the pharmacy, it was to be locked up for safety. Cognitively impaired mobile residents were noted on the Unit. Review of the facility policy titled Drug and Biological Storage revealed drugs were to be stored in an appropriately lighted, locked storage area accessible to authorized personnel only. 2016-06-01
