F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review the facility failed to obtain informed consent (voluntary agreement to accept treatment and/or procedures after receiving education regarding risks, benefits and alternatives offered) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). For Resident 1, the facility failed to obtain informed consent from Resident 1 and Resident 1 ' s responsible party (RP) before administering the Haldol (medication used to treat certain mental/mood disorders) on 1/26/25. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 and Resident 1 ' s RP not given their right to know the risks and benefits of taking the Haldol and alternative treatment available. Findings: During a review of the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 1/3/25 with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder (chronic mental illness that causes a person to experience dramatic changes in their thoughts, moods, and behaviors) and hypothyroidism (when the thyroid gland [small, butterfly-shaped gland in front of neck] creates less than the normal amount of thyroid hormone). During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 1/8/25 indicated Resident 1 was cognitively intact. Resident 1 needed set-up (helper sets up, resident completes activity) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, personal hygiene and independent with upper /lower body dressing and putting/taking off footwear. During a review of Resident 1's Behavior Note dated 1/26/25 at 2:25 p.m., indicated Resident 1 was exhibiting physical and verbal aggression towards staff. Resident 1 ' s psychiatrist was notified and gave one time order that included Haldol five milligrams (mg. - metric unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount) to be administered intramuscularly (IM, the injection of medication into a muscle). During a review of Resident 1 ' s Medication Administration Record (MAR, a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) dated 1/26/25 indicated the Haldol was given to Resident 1 on 1/26/25 at 2:11 p.m. During a review of Resident 1 ' s care plan initiated on 1/26/25 indicated Resident 1 had an episode of verbal and physical aggression towards staff. The care plan goal indicated Resident 1 will verbalize understanding of need to control physically aggressive behavior through the review date. The care plan intervention included to give Resident 1 as many choices as possible about care and activities.
