Roma Mcaffe Incident Analysis

On 2/21/17, anonymous reporting party (RP) reported that resident Roma McAffe (DOB and age unknown) did not have her Percocent for 3 days. RP did not have the exact date of the incident. RP stated that the med techs are not allowed to write in the MAR that a resident's medication is not available. The med techs are to write that the resident refused the medication. Resident in room 127 was out of a medication, Senna. It was documented that the resident refused it because he did not have constipation. RP stated that "The leaders of the pack, Greg and Jerry" are instructing them to write refused because the facility was cited and they do not want to be cited again. RP expresses that they cannot document "falsehood" and at the same time, they
cannot lose their job. It was also reported that the daughter of resident in room 111 was told she had to pick up a triplicate of her Percocet so she went 3 days without it. This incident took place sometime in February. RP expresses regret for not reporting this incident but is still afraid of loosing their job.
