Documented interventions include Administer medication & treatments ordered by MD (Medical Doctor) and monitor for side effects and effectiveness to current medication regimens with an initiation date of 1/13/23. On 5/1/25 at 1:40 PM, R1 was observed in her room in her wheelchair. R1 was non-interviewable related to confusion. R1's Order Summary Report documented the following orders: 4/10/25 fentanyl patch 12 mcg (microgram)/ HR (hour) apply 1 patch transdermally every 72 hours with an order status of discontinued, 4/16/25 fentanyl patch 25 mcg/hr apply 1 patch transdermally every 72 hours with an order status of discontinued, 4/21/25 fentanyl patch 12 mcg/hr apply 1 patch transdermally every 72 hours with an order status of discontinued, 4/25/25 fentanyl patch 25 mcg/hr apply 1 patch transdermally every 72 hours with an order status of discontinued, 5/1/25 fentanyl patch 50 mcg/ HR apply 1 patch transdermally every 72 hours with an order status of active, 1/3/18 hydrocodone- acetaminophen 5-325 mg (milligram) 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed with an order status of discontinued, and 3/24/25 hydrocodone- acetaminophen 5-325 mg 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed with an order status of active. R1's 4/1/25 through 4/30/25 Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) documented a fentanyl patch 12 mcg/hr was administered on 4/13/25 and removed on 4/16/25. R1's eMAR documented on 4/17/25, 4/20/25, and 4/21/25 a code of 9 for the fentanyl patch 25 mcg/ hr. The Chart Code on the eMAR documents 9 indicates Other-See Progress Notes.

On 5/1/25 at 10:20 AM, V3 (Director of Nursing/ DON) said on 4/17/25 R1's fentanyl patch order was changed from 12 mcg/ hr to 25 mcg/hr but the pharmacy had not delivered the fentanyl 25 mcg/ hr patches to the facility yet, so the order was changed back to fentanyl 12 mcg/hr on 4/21/25 (5 days later). V3 said she would expect staff to call a medical provider if a medication was not available. On 5/1/25 at 10:30 AM, V16 (Registered Nurse/ RN) said when R1's 4/16/25 order for fentanyl 25 mcg/hr every 72 hours was put into the electronic medical record the administration dates for every 72 hours were wrong and that is how she found R1 had not had a fentanyl patch administered from 4/17/25 through 4/21/25. V16 said she called to get an order to change R1's fentanyl patch back to 12 mcg/hr on 4/21/25 due to the facility having 1 fentanyl patch 12 mcg/hr left and the fentanyl patch 25 mcg/hr had not been delivered to the facility. V16 said R1 did not complain of increased pain during that time. The facility's revised 10/15/23 Administering Medications policy documented in part .3. Medications shall be administered according to physician's written/verbal orders upon verification of the right medication, dose, route, time and positive verification of the resident's identity when no contraindications are identified and the medication is labeled according to accepted standards .

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to maintain records of controlled substances for accurate reconciliation and administer controlled substances as ordered for 4 (R1, R2, R3, and R5) of 5 residents reviewed for narcotic medication administration in a sample of 5.

R1's 4/1/25 through 4/30/25 Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) documented a fentanyl patch 12 mcg/hr was administered on 4/13/25 and removed on 4/16/25. R1's eMAR documented on 4/17/25, 4/20/25, and 4/21/25 a code of 9 for the fentanyl patch 25 mcg/ hr. The Chart Code on the eMAR documents 9 indicates Other-See Progress Notes. R1's eMAR documented on 4/21/25 a fentanyl patch 12 mcg/ hr was administered. On 5/1/25 at 10:20 AM, V3 (Director of Nursing/ DON) said on 4/17/25 R1's fentanyl patch order was changed from 12 mcg/ hr to 25 mcg/hr but the pharmacy had not delivered the fentanyl 25 mcg/ hr patches to the facility yet, so the order was changed back to fentanyl 12 mcg/hr on 4/21/25 (5 days later).

V16 said she called to get an order to change R1's fentanyl patch back to 12 mcg/hr on 4/21/25 due to the facility having 1 fentanyl patch 12 mcg/hr left and the fentanyl patch 25 mcg/hr had not been delivered to the facility. On 5/1/25 at 10:40 AM, V1 (Regional Director of Operations) provided a facility undated and untitled spreadsheet of narcotic medication Controlled Substance Proof of Use forms that could not be found. This spreadsheet documented R1's Controlled Substance Proof of Use forms for hydrocodone- acetaminophen 5-325 mg for the 30 tablets delivered on 3/24/25 as missing. R1's Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) dated 3/1/25 through 3/31/25 documented 5 hydrocodone- acetaminophen 5-325 mg tablets were administered. R1's 4/1/25 through 4/30/25 eMAR documented 8 hydrocodone- acetaminophen 5-325 mg tablets were administered.

On 4/24/25 at 11:40 AM, V13 (Assistant Director of Nursing/ ADON) said it was the responsibility of V3 to ensure medications were being correctly documented on the Controlled Substance Proof of Use forms and on the resident's eMAR. V13 said she was not sure if that was being completed due to V3 only working in the facility 2 days a week as the interim DON. On 5/2/25 at 10:31 AM, V9 (Licensed Practical Nurse/ LPN) said she tried to but did not always document on the eMAR when an as needed (PRN) medication was administered. V9 said PRN medications were always documented on the Controlled Substance Proof of Use form because that was the form used when nurses counted the narcotic medications at shift change. V9 said the Controlled Substance Proof of Use form would be the most accurate documentation on when a resident received medications. On 5/2/25 at 10:58 AM, V7 (Registered Nurse/ RN) said V7 forgets to document on the eMAR due to medication administration time being chaotic but would always document on the Controlled Substance Proof of Use form. V7 said when controlled substance card was empty the Controlled Substance Proof of Use form would be put in a folder on the Business Office door to be filed. On 5/2/25 at 10:25 AM, V10 (Medical Records) said the Controlled Substance Proof of Use forms were stored in the business office until V10 could scan them into the resident's electronic medical record. V10 said she would scan them monthly so she knew all of them had been scanned. V10 said she had not yet scanned any Controlled Substance Proof of Use forms into any resident chart in 2025. 2.

On 08/10/23 at 2:12 PM, V20 (Guardian) was asked if she had given consent for R21 to receive injections of Depo-Provera. V20 stated she vaguely remembered the facility calling in 2019 explaining it was the physician's recommendation R21 be placed on this drug. V20 stated if her memory served her correctly, R21 was reported to have gone into a female resident's room but does not remember exact details. She stated she did give verbal approval for this drug to be started due to being the physician's recommendation and was not going to question that recommendation. On 08/10/23 at 1:34 PM, an attempt to contact V21 (Family Member/POA of R14 - Power of Attorney) was made with no success. On 08/10/23 01:41 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing - DON) stated the physician had not ordered testosterone levels to be drawn on R12, R14, or R21. When asked about consents for the Depo-Provera injections V2 stated R12 was his own person, R14's admission packet and any consents sent to his POA (Power of Attorney) for signature had not been returned. R21's guardian had given consent in 2019. On 08/11/23 at 9:52 AM, V22 (Primary Care Physician - PCP) was asked about R12, R14, and R21's reported behaviors that prompted his decision to initiate treatment with the Depo-Provera injections. V22 stated R21 was at another facility prior to coming to this facility in 2019. V22 stated R21 had problems with the nurses and when they came to check on him he would do basically say sexually inappropriate comments to them that escalated to touching. V22 stated as far as he was told it was just towards staff. V22 stated R12 had similar incidents reported by staff. V22 stated R14 also came from a different facility and had issues there, but from what V22 was told R14 had not really exhibited sexually inappropriate behavior since being in this facility. V22 stated he believed R14 may have had inappropriate behaviors towards other residents there and staff were complaining so it was decided to place him on the depo injections here. When asked the criteria to introduce the Depo injection to the male population, V22 stated it would be related to sexually inappropriate behaviors that don't stop with staff interventions. V22 said it was just the male behavior, and the fact that the frontal lobe is basically gone, they act without thinking, and most likely would continue. V21 stated R12, R14, and R21 cannot mentally understand or retain redirection so it just happens over and over. When asked if the resident had to be physically/sexually aggressive, violent, or have behaviors that rise to the level of rape, he stated they did not. When asked about monitoring testosterone levels, V22 stated that was not necessary because testosterone was not the issue, the issue was their mental capacity and the inability to be redirected. V22 stated these residents could be on the drug indefinitely without causing adverse issues, but he could certainly trial a discontinuation of the Depo-Provera injections and see how it goes. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Highlights for Prescribing Medication (per https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2010/020246s036lbl.pdf) documents under Indications and Usage that Depo Provera is a progestin injectable contraceptive indicated only for the prevention of pregnancy. A black box warning documents that Women who use Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection may lose significant bone mineral density. Bone loss is greater with increasing duration of use and may not be completely reversible and Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection should not be used as a long term birth control method (i.e., longer than 2 years) unless other birth control methods are considered inadequate.
