F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure as needed antipsychotic medication was limited to 14 days, or had documented rational and an indicated duration by the attending physician or prescribing practitioner for one (Resident #62) of five residents with a medication review, from a total of 31 residents in the sample. The findings include: A record review for Resident #62 found she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including vascular dementia with behavioral disturbance and bipolar disorder. A review of the resident's electronic medical record found that she had current physician's orders beginning on 12/22/2020 for ABH (Ativan, Benadryl, Haldol) Transdermal Gel, apply 1 milliliter (ml) every 6 hours as needed for agitation. The order did not have an end date. A review of the resident's January 2021 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed that she was administered the medication 14 times from 1/1/2021 to 1/23/2021. During an interview with the Acting Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/27/2021 at 1:00 PM, she was asked for evidence that the as needed ABH gel was reviewed every 14 days. During further interview with the Acting DON on 1/27/2021 at 1:58 PM, she stated she spoke to the Pharmacist and he informed her that the as needed ABH gel should have a stop date. She added that the Pharmacist informed her that because Resident #62 was a hospice patient, it was difficult for the facility to get a stop date. She stated she was aware the medication should only be written for 14 days, and the hospice doctor or facility doctor should assess the resident and determine if the medication order should continue. During an interview with Resident #62's nurse (Employee G) on 01/27/2021 at 1:50 PM, she stated the hospice nurse came to the facility all the time and reassessed Resident #62's medication. She stated all of the paperwork would be in the facility's computer program. She was asked who was responsible for writing the orders for Resident #62's medication. She stated, Resident #62's hospice provider had a physician, and the facility had a physician that both oversaw her medications. She was asked who prescribed the as needed ABH gel and she replied that she did not know. During further interview with the Acting DON on 1/27/2021 at 2:59 PM, she stated she called Resident #62's hospice provider and they were not able to provide any evidence of having re-evaluated Resident #62 for the ABH gel. She stated the Pharmacist had identified the as needed ABH gel was limited to 14 days and hospice wrote back that they wanted the resident to no longer be reviewed by psychiatric services.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few She stated the Unit Managers had the responsibility of ensuring the medication was accurately entered into the electronic medical record with an end date. During an interview on 1/28/2021 at 12:00 PM with the Unit Manager (Employee A) for the unit Resident #62 resided on, she stated she was the Unit Manager in December of 2020. She was asked who was responsible for writing the orders for the as needed ABH gel for Resident #62. She stated the hospice doctor wrote all of the resident's orders. She stated that the Psychiatrist discontinued Resident #62's ABH gel but hospice restarted it. She stated the hospice doctor wrote the orders and the resident's facility doctor signed off on all of the orders. She stated she could not recall if she checked Resident #62's medication orders. She stated she was aware the as needed ABH gel should have had a stop date and should not be for more than 14 days. She could not recall if the order was for 14 days when it was received in December and she stated she would check it. During an interview with the facility's Pharmacy Consultant on 1/28/21 at 12:15 PM, he stated the as needed ABH gel should have been written for 14 days unless it had an earlier hard stop end date. He stated he did tell the DON and supervisors about the medications that needed stop dates and it did not get addressed. He stated he completed narcotic destruction the last day the previous DON was working at the facility and he addressed his concern with her. During a telephone interview on 1/28/2021 at 1:05 PM with the Nurse Practitioner for Resident #62's physician, she stated the last prescription they wrote for ABH gel was on 9/15/2020 and it was scheduled every 4 hours. She stated any changes made after 9/15/2020 to the medication were done by the hospice physician. She stated the hospice physician should have known to write the order for 14 days so it was probable an oversight. During an additional interview with the Acting DON on 1/28/2021 at 1:47 PM, she provided an order from the hospice physician dated 11/4/2020 with the following instructions, Do not change psych order. She also provided the 12/22/2020 hospice physician's order dated 12/22/2020 to Start ABH 1/12.5/1 gel topically Q 6 PRN. There was no end date given. At the time the Acting DON presented the information she stated she had checked again and the facility had no other record past the 12/22/2020 order addressing Resident #62's continued need for the medication. .
