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. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to document an appropriate medical indication for the use of an Antipsychotic medication for one resident (R36) and failed to identify and monitor for target behaviors that warrant the use of an Antipsychotic medication for two of three residents (R36 and R39) reviewed for psychotropic medications in the sample of 42. Findings include: The facility's Psychotropic Medication-Gradual Dose Reduction Policy (Revised 02/2018) documents, Purpose: To ensure that residents are not given psychotropic drugs unless psychotropic drug therapy is necessary to treat a specific or suspected condition as per current standards of practice and are prescribed at the lowest dose therapeutic to treat such conditions. 1. R36's current Physician's Orders document the following medication orders: Venlafaxine Oral Capsule Extended Release (Antidepressant) 150 mg (milligrams) give one capsule by mouth in the morning related to Depression; and Aripiprazole Oral Tablet (Antipsychotic) 5 mg give one tablet by mouth in the morning related to anxiety disorder. R36's Consent for Psychotropic Medications (dated 11/17/23) documents R36 takes Aripiprazole for the following: Diagnosis/Indication for Use: Anxiety Disorder. On 02/05/24 at 01:20 PM, R36 was sitting in a chair in her room with her wheelchair nearby. R36 was dressed and groomed, and oral fluids and a call light were within her reach. R36 stated she does have a diagnosis of depression, but feels it is well-controlled at this time. No adverse behaviors were displayed by R36 at this time. On 02/06/24 at 12:15 PM, R36 was sitting in the dining room at the table eating lunch. R36 was conversing with her tablemates, and no adverse behaviors were displayed by R36 during the lunch meal. R36's current care plan has no mention of any target behaviors displayed by R36. R36's Behavior Monitoring and Interventions Report (dated 11/18/23 - 02/06/23) does not document or specify any target behaviors that R36 is being monitored for, and documents zero episodes of any adverse behaviors were displayed by R36 during this time frame. On 02/07/24 at 01:20 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated R36 was admitted to the facility in November 2023 with an order for her antipsychotic, Aripiprazole, and has been taking it as prescribed while residing at the facility. V2 stated the medical indication documented for the use of R36's Aripiprazole is Anxiety, which is not an appropriate indication for the use of an antipsychotic medication. V2 stated R36, has never really displayed any behaviors, and therefore, indicated the facility has not identified any target behaviors to monitor R36 for. V2 stated, We have a generalized behavior sheet, and document any behavior a resident displays even if it hasn't been identified as a target behavior, being the reason for the use of the medication. V2 confirmed that if there are no target behaviors monitored, the facility cannot evaluate the effectiveness of R36's Aripiprazole to determine if a gradual dose reduction is appropriate. V2 then stated R36 is, pretty mellow, and is not a harm to herself or others.
