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 interviews and records reviewed the facility failed to document the reason why the dose reduction is contraindicated for one resident (R126) of an antidepressant medication. This failure affected one resident of two reviewed for psychotropic medications on the sample of 30. The findings include: R126 diagnosis include but are not limited to Toxic Encephelopathy, Cerbrovascular Disease, Major Depressive Disorder, and Complications of Heart Transplant. R126's admission dated is 6/13/23. On 4/18/24 at 1:17PM The surveyor asked V14, Psychotropic Nurse, the reason R126 has not had a Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR) attempted. V14 presented R126 notes and said she (V28 Nurse Practitioner) forgot to click a reason on the note. V14 said R126 will get a dose reduction today, after V28 sees him. V14 said GDRs are reviewed quarterly and if they are contraindicated, then they should have a note to specify the reason the reduction is contraindicated. V14 said the purpose of GDRs are to try to decrease medications. The surveyor asked V14 if a GDR can help determine if a medication is needed, V14 said yes. Review of R126 physician orders for April 2024 note Sertraline HCl Oral Tablet 100 MG once per day. Review of R126's progress notes dated 6/28/23, 9/11/23, and 1/30/24 document a dose reduction is not indicated and is contraindicated. However, the reason for contraindication is not documented or indicated by V28. Review of R126's April 2024 Medication Administration Record notes R126 is being administered daily. The facility policy dated 7/24/23 in part states, if no gradual dose reduction (GDR) was done, there should be a psychiatric note why gradual dose reduction is contraindicated specifically saying that the GDR is contraindicated because it increased the target behavior or that the psychiatrist had documented the rationale that GDR is likely to impair resident's function and increase the distress behavior. Make sure there is an annual GDR after the 1st year.
