The facility did not ensure resident's medications delivered from the pharmacy were put away in a inaccessible and locked area and did not ensure a medication cart on the 800 Hall was locked. This practice had the potential to affect more than a limited number of residents. Resident identifiers: #15, #92, #184, and #187. Facility census: 145. Findings include: a) A random observation of the 200 Hall on 02/23/17 at 7:50 a.m. revealed medications on the counter of the nurses's station unattended and accessible to anyone from 7:50 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. The following Resident's medications were observed on the nurses's station counter: --Resident #15 - Ipratropium/Albuterol (3 packs). --Resident #92 - Phenytoin EX 100 mg (56 capsules). --Resident #184 - Clonidine HCL 0.1 mg (56 tablets). --Resident #187 - Celecoxib 200 mg (56 capsules). An interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #64 on 02/23/17 at 8:00 a.m., revealed the night shift nurse must have left the medications at the nurse's station. The LPN stated his shift began at 7:00 a.m. The LPN stated the medications should have been locked upon acceptance from the pharmacy. b) A random observation of the 800 Hall on 02/23/17 at 8:05 a.m., revealed the medication cart was unlocked at the nurses station. The cart was unlocked, unattended, and out of sight of any staff from 8:05 a.m. until 8:12 a.m. The cart contained the medications for the 800 Hall residents. An interview with Registered Nurse-Nurse Manager (RN-NM) #21 on 02/23/17 at 8:12 a.m., revealed the medication cart should always be locked when not in sight of the nurse.	2020-09-01
