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.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/14/25 at 11:27 a.m., Resident 1 ' s MAR and

Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 2/14/25 at 12:35 p.m., LVN 1 stated informed consent should be obtained from
Resident 1 ' s RP before administering the Haldol.
During review of the email sent on 2/14/25 at 2:36 p.m., the medical record director (MRD) confirmed that

devices that may lead to the inability of a patient to regain use of a normal bodily functions after prolonged
use. The same Policy indicated in an emergency in which it is impractical to obtain the consent order for
psychotropic drugs, may be initiated upon a physician order without informed consent for a period of 48
hours. Informed consent must then be obtained to continue the medication, physical restraint or medical
device.
