530 MERCER NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER 515052 1275 SOUTHVIEW DRIVE BLUEFIELD WV 24701 2018-11-29 583 D 0 1 J9FW11 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and staff interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #245's medical record was kept confidential. Resident #245's medication orders were observed to be hanging on the magnetic bulletin board in the residents room. This was a random opportunity for discovery. Resident Identifier: #245. Facility Census: 97 Findings Include: a) Resident #245 Observation of Resident #245's room at 12:34 p.m. on 11/26/18 found her medication list placed on her magnetic bulletin board with a magnet. The list had been printed by the facility and it appeared Resident #245's daughter had placed it on the board with a hand written note which read, Mom's Medications, and No [MEDICATION NAME]. An additional observation with the Director of Nursing (DON) at 1:05 p.m. on 11/27/18, found the medication list was still on the magnetic bulletin board in Resident #245's room. The DON removed the list and indicated it looked like Resident #245's daughter had placed the list there and she would call and talk to them about it. She agreed the medication should not have been posted in the residents room. 2020-09-01
