RP explained both the physician and the RP decided not to proceed with another surgical intervention due to high risks associated with exposing Resident 2 to general anesthesia. During an interview with a licensed nurse (LN 2), on 12/14/16, at 11:32 a.m., confirmed Resident 2's second dislocation on 11/23/16 was not investigated and no incident report was filled out.

The facility drug reference book titled "PharMerica" dated 2015-2016, indicated quetiapine (generic name for Seroquel) is not approved for the treatment of dementia-related psychosis (depression, hallucinations, delusions, aggression, agitation, wandering, and late day confusion are hallmark behavioral and psychotic symptoms of dementia, commonly manifested in moderate to severe stages of the disease). Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotics are at an increased risk of death.

F428 04/28/2017 c) Drug Regimen Review (1) The drug regimen of each resident must be reviewed at least once a month by a licensed pharmacist. (3) A psychotropic drug is any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior. These drugs include, but are not limited to, drugs in the following categories: (i) Anti-psychotic; (ii) Anti-depressant; (iii) Anti-anxiety; and (iv) Hypnotic. (4) The pharmacist must report any irregularities to the attending physician and the facility’s medical director and director of nursing, and these reports must be acted upon. (i) Irregularities include, but are not limited to, any drug that meets the criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of this section for an unnecessary drug. (ii) Any irregularities noted by the pharmacist during this review must be documented on a separate, written report that is sent to the attending physician and the facility’s medical director and director of nursing and lists, at a minimum, the resident’s name, the relevant drug, and the irregularity the pharmacist identified.
