Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure all drugs and biologicals were stored in locked compartments. During a medication administration observation, medications were not kept under the direct observation of the person administering the medications or locked in the medication storage area/cart. This practice had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of residents. Facility census: 87. Findings include: a) Medication administration observation On 12/05/17 at 9:15 a.m., upon approaching Registered Nurse (RN) #42 to observe medication administration, there was a medication cup containing two (2) tablets on top of medication cart. The medication cup containing the tablets remained unsecured and out of the nurse's line of sight, on top of the medication cart which was left on the opposite side of the hallway during the medication administration for two (2) different residents. After completing the second medication administration for a resident and returning to the medication cart at 9:40 a.m., RN #42 proceeded to place the medication cup containing the two (2) tablets in the top drawer of the medication cart and locked the cart. Immediately following this observation, during an interview with RN #42, she agreed the medication cup had remained atop the medication cart unsecured and out of the nurse's sight. RN #42 stated, They (the medications) should have been locked in the medication cart in case a resident would pick them up. Since I could not always see the cart that certainly could have happened. I was nervous and wasn't thinking. |
