On the days of the survey, based on observations, interview, and the Drug Facts and Comparisons book (updated monthly), the facility failed to follow a procedure to ensure that expired medications were removed from medication storage in 2 of 3 medication rooms. The findings included: On 2/8/12 at 10:24 AM, observation of the 300 Unit medication room revealed one 1 milliliter (ml) vial (10 tests) Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative, Diluted/Aplisol, opened with a puncture date of 1/2/12. The Drug Facts and Comparisons book, page 2001, states (in reference to Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative): Discard vials in use for more than 30 days because of possible oxidation and degradation that may affect potency. During an interview on 2/8/12 at 10:38 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #1 revealed that the House Supervisor (LPN or Registered Nurse) spot checks the medication room periodically for expired medications, but there is no schedule. On 2/8/12 at 11:06 AM, observation of the 100 Unit medication room revealed one punch card of 30 tablets of Cetirizine HCl (hydrochloride) 10 mg (milligram), expired 1/31/12. During an interview on 2/8/12 at 11:33 AM, LPN #2 revealed that night shift nurses were responsible to check expiration dates on weekends and also periodically. She added that Pharmacy also comes once every couple of months and checks for expired medications. |
