F 0758 Level of Harm - 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 observation, interview and record review the facility failed to report adverse side effects immediately, failed to monitor the use of psychotropic medications, and failed to carry out the orders to hold medication for a resident showing signs of adverse effects of excessive drowsiness. This failure resulted in R1 being sent out to the hospital for evaluation for stroke like symptoms. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed or unnecessary medications in the sample of 5. The findings include: R1's face sheet shows she is [AGE] year-old female with diagnosis including somnolence (excessive drowsiness 8/15/24), altered mental status (8/15/24), unspecified dementia with other behavioral disturbance, heart disease, delusional disorder, anxiety disorder, unspecified hearing loss, vascular dementia with psychotic disturbance, mood (affective) disorder, and glaucoma. R1's hospital Records dated 8/15/24 documents [AGE] year-old female with a history of vascular dementia and behavioral disturbances presents with acute encephalopathy and lethargy likely suspect due to polypharmacy. R1's hospital discharge medication list dated 8/16/24 shows a decrease dose in her psychotropic medications including Depakote 125 mg (milligrams) two capsules three times a day and Seroquel 50 mg twice a day. On 8/22/24 at 9:19 AM, R1 was observed in her lying in bed. R1 was yelling and calling out from her room. V7 (Registered Nurse/RN) entered the room to assist R1, using the communication board to ask R1 what she needed. R1 was not able to verbally express her needs to V7. R1 was on the call light frequently and yelling when staff left the room. At 9:54 AM, V9 and V10 (Certified Nursing Assistant's-CNA's) provided care to R1 including incontinence care and transferring her from the bed to the wheelchair using a mechanical lift. R1 did not display behaviors of aggression, combativeness, and was compliant with all cares. On 8/22/24 at 9:38 AM, V7 (RN) said R1 has behaviors of combativeness and agitation. She was hospitalized in June and sent to behavioral health. She had a change in her psychotropic medications due to lethargy. She has been okay since her dose was decreased. She still has some behaviors of yelling out and screaming, but is more awake. If a resident is showing adverse effects from the medication, nursing should hold the medication and notify the physician. On 8/26/24 at 8:57 AM, V5 (Unit Manager) said R1 is alert, confused, and has behaviors of crying, screaming, restlessness, agitation, and combative during cares. Lately she has periods of sleepiness (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

On 8/15/2, V16 (R1'sdaughter) came to visit and was upset how R1 was sleepy, difficult to arouse, and drooling. V16 was concerned her mom had a stroke. She explained to R1's daughter, V15 (Psych Nurse Practitioner) assessed R1 yesterday and there were new orders to hold the psychotropic medications (Seroquel 100 mg and Clonazepam 0.5 mg) if R1 was lethargic. She went in the room and called out R1's name. R1 opened her eyes but could not keep them open. R1 usually feeds herself; that day she needed assisting with meals.

When she looked at the medications R1 was scheduled to receive, Depakote 375 mg, clonazepam 0.5 mg and Seroquel 100 mg three times a day. She was thinking why is R1 on so much medication. She gave what was scheduled, I have nothing to base it off, I felt terrible I gave the medications too. She questioned it, but she did not know the resident. R1's daughter requested to have her sent out to the hospital. She gave the morning dose and said she could not recall if she gave the afternoon dose, If it was scheduled I must have given the medications to her, I could have given the medications. On 8/26/24 at 1:15 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said staff should be monitoring the resident for side effects of psychotropic medications. Increased sleepiness is the first side effect of these medications. Nursing should hold the medication and notify the physician immediately. She confirmed the order to hold the medication did not reflect on R1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) on 8/15/24 for the morning and afternoon dose. R1 was sent out to the hospital and returned to the facility with a decreased dose in her psychotropic medications.
