F 0758 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Residents Affected - Some Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) was provided the non-pharmacological interventions for the use of psychotropic medication (medication that affects the mind, emotions, and behavior). This failure had the potential to result in the unnecessary use of psychotropic medications for Resident 1. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Antipsychotic Medication Use (undated) showed for enduring psychiatric conditions, antipsychotic medications will not be used unless behavioral symptoms are not sufficiently relieved by non-pharmacological interventions. The staff will observe, document, and report to the attending physician information regarding the effectiveness of any interventions, including antipsychotic medications. Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 3/11/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged on 2/18/25, to the acute care hospital. Review of Resident 1's progress notes showed the following: - dated 2/12/25, Resident 1 returned from the acute care hospital with a new physician's order to administer Zyprexa (antipsychotic medication) 2.5 mg tablet every six hours as needed. - dated 2/14/25, the physician provided anew order for Zyprexa 2.5 mg four times a day. Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report for February 2025 showed a physician's order dated 2/14/25, to administer Zyprexa 2.5 mg tablet by mouth four times a day for psychosis manifested by episodes of striking out. Review of Resident 1's plan of care showed a care plan problem dated 2/12/25, addressing Resident 1's use of the Zyprexa medication. However, the care plan interventions did not include the non-pharmacological interventions for the use of the above medication. Review of Resident 1's MAR for February 2025 showed the following monitoring for the resident's episodes of psychosis as evidenced by striking out: - On 2/13/25, Resident 1 had one episode during the day shift, six episodes during the evening (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
