Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure free from unnecessary psychotropic
medication (medications capable of affecting the minds, emotions, and behaviors) for one of three sampled
resident (Resident 1) when: 1.There was no documented evidence of non-pharmacological (treatments and
strategies that mange health conditions without using medications) approaches attempted before
administered psychotropic medication lorazepam (used to treat for anxiety [persistent worry and fear about
everyday situations]) to Resident 1;2.There was no documented evidence of side effects monitored for use
of lorazepam (an unintended consequence of a medication, may be harmful) for Resident 1;3. There was
no documented evidence of episodes of adequate behavior monitored for use of lorazepam for Resident
1.These above failures had the potential to place sampled resident at risk to receive unnecessary
psychotropic medication.Findings:1.Review of Resident 1's face sheet (FS: a document that gives
resident's information at a quick glance) indicated Resident 1 was admitted to facility on 7/9/2024. Resident
1's diagnoses indicated dementia with anxiety (loss of memory, language, problem solving and thinking
abilities interfere with daily living along with irritability, agitation and restlessness).Review of Resident 1's
order summary report indicated lorazepam oral concentrate (liquid)1MG (mg: milligram, unit of mass equal
to one thousandth of a gram)/ 0.5 ML (ml: milliliter, unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter) give
0.25 ml every 6 hours as needed for agitation ., dated 6/28/2025.Review of Resident 1's electronic
medication administration record (EMAR: a digital system used in healthcare settings to manage and track
administration of medications to residents) for June/2025 indicated Resident 1 received lorazepam as
ordered above on 6/28/2025 at 1846 and on 6/29/2025 at 1026.Further review of Resident 1's EMAR for
June/2025 indicated there was no documented evidence for non-pharmacological approaches attempted
before administered lorazepam on 6/28 and 6/29/2025.2.Review of Resident 1's EMAR for June/2025

non-pharmacological approaches before administered lorazepam, monitored side effects and adequate
behavior monitored for use of lorazepam for Resident 1. DON stated license nursing staff should have
attempted non-pharmacological interventions, monitored and documented side effects and adequate
behavior when administered lorazepam to Resident 1.Review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
