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 and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three residents reviewed (Resident 1), who
was receiving Quetiapine (a medication used to treat bipolar disorder [a mental disorder that results in
severe sadness and manic or extreme joy or elated behavior) was monitored for the specific behavior of
paranoid delusions (false beliefs that someone is being threatened or mistreated) as indicated for use of
the medication.
This deficient practice placed Resident 1 at risk unnecessary use of medication and for mismanagement of
her mental disorder and expose her to potential side effects associated with taking Quetiapine, such as
drowsiness that could lead to accidents and falls.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
that included schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), mood
disorders, and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities).
A review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/24/2025, indicated the resident does not
have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS – a federally mandated resident assessment
tool), dated 1/27/2025, indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognition (the ability to think and
process thoughts).
A review of Resident ' s Order Summary Report, dated 2/14/2025, indicated a physician ' s ordered for the
resident to take Quetiapine Fumarate Oral Tablet 25 MG (MG, milligram, a unit of measuring weight) give 1
tablet by mouth at bedtime for schizophrenia manifested by (m/b) paranoid delusions.
A review of Resident ' s Medication Administration Report (MAR) for the months of 1/2025 and 2/2025,
indicated the resident was being administered Quetiapine Fumarate. The MAR did not indicate that
Resident 1 ' s behavior of paranoid delusions was being monitored by staff.
A review of Resident 1 ' s nursing progress notes for the months of 1/2025 and 2/2025, did not indicate
documented evidence that the resident ' s specific behavior of paranoid delusions was identified and
monitored.

Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident 1 ' s care plan for the use of Quetiapine, initiated on 1/26/2025, indicated the resident '
s behavior was to be monitored for effectiveness every shift. The care plan also indicated for the resident to
be monitored for adverse reactions associated with taking Quetiapine.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/18/2025 at 1:41 PM, Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1 stated,Resident 1 ' s entire medical records were reviewed, including the MAR and nursing
progress notes. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 ' s records did not have documented evidence that Resident 1 ' s
behavior of paranoid delusions was monitored. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 ' s behavior should have been
monitored to ensure the medication is effective and Resident 1 ' s behavior is being treated.
During an interview on 2/18/2025 at 3:45 PM with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated Quetiapine is
considered a psychotropic medication and its use must be monitored. DON stated psychotropic
medications (medication that affects mood and behavior) must be monitored to ensure they are working.
DON stated monitoring the behavior aids in determining if the medication needs to be discontinued or
reduced in dose. DON stated not monitoring the medication could lead to mismanagement of Resident 1 ' s
mental disease. DON further stated if the medication is not effective, taking the medication still exposes the
resident to side effects that could be dangerous, such as drowsiness that could lead to falls or tremors
(involuntary quivering movement).
A review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Psychotherapeutic Drug Management, revised
10/24/2022, indicated nurses will monitor psychotropic drug use daily. The P&P also indicated nurses will
monitor the presence of target behaviors. The P&P also indicated the weekly nursing summary will include
as assessment of the psychotherapeutic drugs administered including manifestations.
