The (physician) orders did not include an order that (R42) was not to have medications orally and we don't have records (Hospice) available to verify what the Hospice has changed. The Hospice nurses do not have access to our records (Electronic Medical Record/EHR). I've entered orders (into the EHR) the Hospice nurse has given me verbally, but I now understand that is not safe. They should be in writing. That's nursing 101.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to document clinical rationale for extending PRN (as needed) psychotropic medication for one (R6) of two residents reviewed for psychotropic medications in a sample of 38. Findings include: The facility's Psychotropic Medication Management System policy, dated 10/26/24, documents (Named facility) has developed a system to ensure a resident is not given psychotropic medications unless a comprehensive assessment identifies clear indications and parameters for their use, based upon regulatory compliance and best practice. With administration of a psychotropic medication, the following will be documented: PRN orders are limited to 14 days unless the prescriber believes it is appropriate to extend the order beyond 14 days and documents their rationale in the clinical record and indicates the duration for the PRN order. R6's current Physician Order Statement/POS, dated 2/5/25, documents an order for Alprazolam (psychotropic) oral tablet 0.5mg (milligrams) give one tablet by mouth as needed for Anxiety for 30 Days TID (three times per day). On 2/27/25, at 1:45pm, V16 Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN/Resource Nurse stated We use the 14 days only if there is no stop date. (R6's) order was written by the prescriber to extend out to 30 days instead of 14. When asked if there is a written rationale V16 stated No, it is not written and it is probably so that it doesn't drop off (after 14 days). R6's clinical record does not include a documented rationale for R6's Alprazolam to be extended to 30 days.
