The findings included: During the Initial Tour on 06/01/2011 at 10:30 AM, in room [ROOM NUMBER], one open 100 ml (milliliter) single use bottle of Normal Saline with a date of 04/26 on the lid was noted on the bedside table. Also, in a zip-lock bag, there was an open/ undated bottle of the same solution. In room [ROOM NUMBER], two 100 ml single use bottles of Normal Saline were noted on the bedside table. During observation and interview on 06/01/2011 at 1:20 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) #2 verified the above observations and stated that, once open, the bottles of Normal Saline were only good for 24 hours. Upon request, a copy of the facility's policy entitled "MEDICATION STORAGE IN THE HEALTHCARE CENTERS (11/07)" was obtained from the Director of Nursing on 06/01/2011. However, the policy failed to address the use and storage of this product. 2015-05-01
