F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Physician Order Summary (POS) shows multiple medications which include Quetiapine (antipsychotic medication) 25 mg every morning and 75 mg at bedtime. Psychiatric evaluation dated 12/13/23 does not have documentation of behavior pertaining to the use of Quetiapine. Residents Affected - Few On April 3, 2024, at 1:59 PM, V40 (Social Service Director) stated that R99 currently has no behavior but before the use of Quetiapine medication, he was very impulsive, he would try to get out of bed.

R99 was confused, he was unable to participate in the PHQ9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) assessment which determines depression and the information for PHQ9 came from the staff. R99 sleeps a lot and had difficulty concentrating. R99's active care which was started on 4/19/2023 with reviewed/revised date of 1/23/2024 shows that R99 is at risk for adverse side effects related to use of psychotropic medications. R99 utilizes antipsychotic medications to assist in managing diagnoses of depression. This same care plan shows multiple approaches which include assessing if R99's behavioral symptoms present a danger to the resident and/or others, intervene as needed, quantitatively and objectively document the resident's behavior. However, there was no documented targeted behavior which addressed why R99 needs to use anti-psychotic medication. R99's Point of Care Mood Category Report dated February to March, 2024 does not have observation of any behavior. 3.

V36 stated he would not prescribe quetiapine 50mg for any patient new to the medication and there needs to be a rationale for the use of quetiapine. The care plan for R32 shows no behavior or diagnosis to be targeted by an antipsychotic medication.
