The findings included: 1. Clinical record review conducted on 03/14/23 revealed Resident #2 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple medical conditions. Minimum Data Set, assessment with reference date 12/11/22 documented the resident was assessed as independent for skills of daily decision making; required extensive assistance with activity of daily living and received antiquity and opioid medications. Care Plan dated 01/28/23 documented Resident #2 was experiencing recent loss of son and Anti-anxiety medication use to reduce anxiety. The interventions included administer medications as ordered, monitor side effects and document and report adverse reactions. Educate the resident about risks and benefits and of toxic symptoms of antianxiety medication given. Physician's order dated 11/14/22 documented Ativan 1 milligram (mg) every 8 hours as needed for anxiety. Psychology consult dated 01/10/23 documented Patient has chronically refused need of psychiatry medications and he continues on his Ativan 1 mg every 8 hrs (hours) as needed per his request. Further review of the record failed to provide evidence of behavior monitoring. There was no evidence of the use of non-pharmacological interventions to aid with anxiety, and there was no documentation of monitoring of side effects and attempts of gradual dose reduction since November 2022. The record failed to provide the rationale for the extended use of the Ativan as needed, since November 2022. The Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated Resident #2 received Ativan, 28 doses from 03/01/23 thru 03/14/23; and received 65 doses from 02/01/23 thru 02/28/23.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few at this time, current regulations require that the prescriber document the indication for use, the intended duration of therapy, and the rationale for the extended time period. Rationale for recommendation: CMS [Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services] requires that PRN orders for non antipsychotic psychotropic drugs be limited to 14 days unless the prescriber documents the diagnosed specific condition being treated, the rational for the extended time period and the duration for the PRN order. The physician accepted the recommendation on 01/12/23, the medication was not discontinued, and the prescriber did not document the rationale for the extended use. Interview conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 03/15/23 at 2:00 PM explained the facility documents behavior monitoring on the MAR and confirmed there is no behavior monitoring documentation for Resident #2. In addition, the DON confirmed the pharmacy recommendation was not implemented and stated last night she reached out to the physician to change the medication from PRN to a routine schedule as the resident is taking multiple doses per day. 2. Facility policy, titled, Psychopharmacological Medication Use, dated 12/01/07 documented: POLICY This Section 3.8 sets forth procedures relating to psychopharmacological medication use. PROCEDURE 1. The Facility should comply with the Psychopharmacologic Dosage Guidelines created by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the SOM, and all other Applicable Law relating to the use of psychopharmacologic drugs. 2. Where a physician/prescriber orders a psychopharmacologic drug for a resident, the Facility should ensure that the physician/prescriber has conducted a comprehensive assessment of the resident and has documented in the clinical record that the psychopharmacologic drug is necessary to treat one of the specific conditions listed in the SOM. If a physician/prescriber orders a psychopharmacological drug in the absence of a diagnosis of specific behavior listed in the SOM , the Facility should ensure that the ordering physician/prescriber review the medication plan and consider a gradual dose reduction (GDR) of psychopharmacological medications for the purpose of finding the lowest effective dose or of discontinuing the drug unless a GDR is contraindicated 2.1 The physician/Prescriber should document the clinical rationale for why any additional attempted dose reduction at that time would be likely to impair the resident's function or increase distressed behavior. 3. Facility staff should monitor the resident's behavior pursuant to Facility policy using a behavioral monitoring chart or behavioral assessment record for residents receiving psychopharmacological drugs for organic mental syndrome with agitated or psychotic behavior(s). Clinical record review conducted on 03/13/23 revealed Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Residents Affected - Few Minimum Data Set annual assessment with reference date of 12/20/22 documented the resident was assessed as independent with skills of daily decision making; displayed rejection of care and was receiving antidepressant medications. Care Plan dated 02/20/23 documented the resident uses anti anxiety medications for anxiety disorder. The interventions included administer anti anxiety medications as ordered by physician, monitor side effects, educate resident on risk and benefits, monitor for safety, monitor adverse reactions, monitor of target behavior and document. Interview with Director of Nursing on 03/15/23 at 2:08 PM confirmed the physician's order for Ativan did not have a stop date, it is active, and is past the recommended 14 days. The DON confirmed the resident has not taken doses and verified there is no documented rationale to validate the extended time frame for use. 3. Record review for Resident #22 documented the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Generalized Anxiety, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Atrial-Fibrillation, Type I Diabetes, Hypertension, Muscle Weakness, Bipolar II Disorder. She has a Care Plan for anti-anxiety medications related to adjustment issues, and anxiety disorder. The interventions included administering anti-anxiety medications as ordered by a physician. Review of the physician's orders included Alprazolam Intensol oral concentrate 1 mg/ml 1 ml PO (oral) start date 02/23/23 and end date indefinite. Review of the Pharmacy reviews for the past 6 months did not show documentation of concern of an indefinite 'prn' order of the Alprazolam. It only documented it was reviewed during the facility's behavior management committee meeting. Review of the physician note on 02/06/23 documented an order of Xanax to be changed to 1mg every 8 hours as needed. On 02/23/23, a physician note documented the resident has a tendency to pocket pills and take them later. The physician changed Alprazolam order to a liquid form. Reviewed physician notes for 02/06/23, 02/15/23, 02/18/23, 02/23/23 and 02/27/23 revealed the physician would document a 14 day PRN order but then the next order would document indefinite.
