They agreed they looked to see if the PASARR was complete, but stated they didn't check the assessment for accuracy. They added, the Social Services Director reviewed the PASARRs for accuracy. On 3/26/25 at 4:19 PM, the Director of Social Services stated she checked to see if the PASARR was accurate and then she provided the PASARR to the Regional Social Worker or the Director Of Nursing. The Director of Social Services added, during Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR) meetings for medications, she reviewed the PASARR's to ensure their accuracy, especially if any new psychiatric diagnoses were added. She did not say why resident #136's level I PASARR was not accurate. 4. Resident #19 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] from the hospital. Some of her diagnoses included acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some scored 6 out of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status which indicated he was cognitively impaired.

The Plan of care revealed resident #72 had mood problems related to depression initiated on 12/10/24. On 3/26/25 at 4:38 PM, a review of resident #9's PASARR Level 1 Screen for Serious Mental Illness and /or Intellectual Disability or Related Conditions dated 12/06/24 revealed no diagnoses were listed in Section A for Mental Illness or Suspected Mental Illness. On 3/26/25 at 4:06 PM, the Admissions Director and the Admissions Clerk explained they reviewed PASARRs for potential residents prior to admission. They ensured the form was completed, then given to the Social Services Department who further reviewed them and would determine if a Level II PASARR was needed. On 3/26/25 at 4:19 PM, the Social Services Director (SSD) explained she would review the level I PASARR forms and if necessary, would let the Regional Social Worker or the Director of Nursing (DON) know of any updates or discrepancies. She said most times, she would learn of updated PASARRs or add new diagnoses during the Interdisciplinary Team meetings with the Psychiatrist when they addressed Gradual Dose Reductions for residents on psychotropic medications. The SSD and DON acknowledged and confirmed the list of seven residents, (#17, #199, #136, #19, #185, #9 and #72) whose PASARRs were inaccurate and noted the missing diagnoses in Section A of the form. On 3/27/25 at 9:52 AM, the DON stated that her expectation was accurate diagnoses were listed in Section A of the PASARR screening forms. The Facility's Policy on Preadmission Screening and Resident Review reviewed December 2024 stated A complete and accurate PASARR is required upon admission of each resident. Residents who may need Level II will not be admitted until the review has been completed and that the determination has been made to ensure that placement in a nursing facility is appropriate. The admissions department is responsible for assuring that each resident has a complete and accurate PASARR screening upon admission. If new information has been discovered, facility should complete a Level I or review if applicable. Social Services is responsible for any referral of an in-house resident in need of a level II. Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure completion and accuracy of Level I Preadmission Screening and Resident Reviews (PASARRs) on admission, and/or failed to make referrals for newly evident or possible mental disorders to evaluate the need for specialized mental health services or alternate placement for 7 of 7 residents reviewed for PASARR, of a total sample of 53 residents, (#17, #199, #136, #19, #185, #9 and #72). Findings: 1. Resident #17's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from an acute care hospital with a diagnoses including diverticulitis, fibromyalgia, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder.

Resident's plan of action included continuing Donepezil and Memantine for dementia and Duloxetine for depression. The resident's Clonazepam for anxiety was changed from as needed (PRN) to a scheduled medication at bedtime. Review of resident #17's physician medication orders revealed the resident was ordered Clonazepam 0.5 milligrams (mg) at bedtime for anxiety with a start date of 10/15/24, Gabapentin 100 mg every 8 hours for neuropathy with a start date of 10/11/24, Memantine HCl 10 mg every morning and at bedtime for dementia with a start date of 10/09/24, Donepezil HCl 10 mg daily for dementia with a start date of 10/10/24, and Sertraline HCl 25 mg at bedtime for depression with a start date of 12/17/24.

A Psychiatry consultation dated 2/04/25 under the section 'Plan of Action' revealed the resident's medication Rexulti was discontinued and Trazodone 25mg every 12 hours for depression was started. The resident was started on this medication because non-pharmacological interventions were not sufficient to manage the symptoms of the resident. The consultation described the medication was prescribed because in general it helped with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, post trauma anxiety, irritability, agitation and sleep.

Findings: 1. Resident #151 was admitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses of fibromyalgia, severe obesity, acute respiratory failure, osteoarthritis, polyneuropathy, anxiety, anemia, hypothyroidism, depression, migraine, and chronic kidney failure, unspecified. On 12/08/24, the consulting pharmacist recommended the side effects of the anxiolytic (antianxiety) medication Buspirone be monitored along with the behaviors related to the antidepressant medication Bupropion Extended Release (XL), which included target behaviors, interventions, adverse effects, and effectiveness of the antidepressant. Review of the medical record revealed no evidence the recommendations were reviewed or addressed by the attending physician as no changes to the residents' orders were made and no rationale for not adding them were provided. Review of the medical record revealed on 1/19/25, the pharmacist recommended a change in the order for potassium 10 milliequivalents (mEq) tablet to Potassium Chloride 10% oral solution (20 mEq/15 milliliters (ml)), 7.5 ml daily with at least 120 ml cold water, because the pharmacist noted, solid sources of potassium chloride were contraindicated for patients with delayed gastric emptying. Review of the medical record revealed no evidence that the pharmacy recommendations were reviewed or addressed; no changes to the orders were made and no rationale was provided. Review of the medical record revealed on 2/07/25, the pharmacist repeated the recommendation for side effect monitoring of the anxiolytic (antianxiety) medication Buspirone, along with monitoring behaviors for the antidepressant Bupropion XL. Review of the medical record revealed no evidence these recommendations were ever reviewed or addressed by the attending physician. On 3/11/25, for the third month the recommendations to monitor the side effects for Buspirone and to monitor behaviors related to the antidepressant Bupropion XL were given by the consulting pharmacist. Review of the medical record revealed no evidence the recommendations were reviewed or addressed. On 3/17/25, an order to monitor behaviors for the antidepressant Bupropion XL was added, but did not include to document for target behaviors, interventions, adverse effects, or effectiveness, as was recommended by the pharmacist, nor a rationale for not adding these recommendations. On 3/27/25 at 1:53 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the pharmacist reviewed resident medications monthly for appropriateness and for irregularities, then emailed their reports with any recommendations to the DON. The DON stated she then distributed the recommendations to the appropriate Unit Managers who then contacted the doctors. She explained the process must be completed before the end of the month. The DON verified there was an 'order set' available for antianxiety medication side effects, but confirmed it was not added to resident #151's orders anytime between December 2024 and March 2025 as recommended. She confirmed the antidepressant behavior monitoring was not added in December 2024 through February of 2025 as recommended, and when added on March 17, 2025, it did not include the specific recommendations of the pharmacist, but just to monitor behaviors.
