precautions on 10/26/16. OT explained the inservice he provided about Resident 2's hip
precautions and indicated CNAs were
instructed to do the following when transferring
Resident 2 from a wheel chair to the toilet and
back:
*Transferring Resident 2 requires two CNAs.
*CNAs are supposed to space the wheel chair
so that Resident 2 can grab the bar (supportive
device in the bathroom) without leaning
forward.
*CNAs are to use verbal cues to initiate the
transfer and have Resident 2 stand up.
*CNAs are supposed to have a gait belt on
Resident 2 (special belt used to assist with
transfers which is placed around the resident's
waist) which they need to hold on to when
having Resident 2 rise from the wheel chair.
*One CNA is supposed to support Resident 2's
back by placing hands on her back and the
other CNA is to move the wheel chair away and
wheel a commode (device which could be
placed over the toilet) closer to Resident 2.
*Once in place, CNAs are supposed to cue
Resident 2 to lower her buttocks onto the
commode.
*Once Resident 2 is in the sitting position, a
trash can is placed under the foot with an
immobilizer.
*The abduction wedge is removed during
transfers and is put back on when Resident 2 is
back in the wheel chair after toileting.
*No other supportive devices or regular pillows

of dementia with behavioral disturbance
(memory loss), dementia with Lewy bodies
(memory loss causing progressive decline in
mental abilities) and major depression.
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.

subjective term and could mean different things
to different people and verbalized examples
such as "restlessness, continuously moving,
yelling."

During an interview with the medical director
(MD 1), on 12/9/16, at 3:26 p.m., MD 1 stated
"Yelling out, agitation, repeating sentences are
not psychotic behaviors. Hallucinations,
paranoia would be."

(iii) The attending physician must document in
the resident’s medical record that the identified
irregularity has been reviewed and what, if any,
action has been taken to address it. If there is
to be no change in the medication, the
attending physician should document his or her
rationale in the resident’s medical record.
(5) The facility must develop and maintain
policies and procedures for the monthly drug
regimen review that include, but are not limited
to, time frames for the different steps in the
process and steps the pharmacist must take
when he or she identifies an irregularity that

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on record review and interview, the
facility failed to ensure irregularities of Seroquel
(antipsychotic medication) were identified and
addressed for one of two sampled residents
(Resident 2).
This failure placed Resident 2 at risk for
receiving an unnecessary medication and at an
increased risk of death.
