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 complete psychotropic assessments prior to the use of antipsychotic medications, document the resident's response to non-pharmacological interventions to manage behaviors/symptoms, and to ensure the resident has behaviors that warrant the use of antipsychotic medications for two of three residents (R5, R22) reviewed for antipsychotic medication use with the diagnosis of Dementia or Alzheimer's Disease in the sample of 24.
Findings include: The Facility's Psychopharmacologic Drug Usage Procedure dated 10/18/17, states Documentation of behaviors and conditions requiring the use of these medications must be done on a routine basis, as well as medication response and adverse consequences. 1. On 5/13/24, 5/14/24, and 5/15/24, during random observations, R5 was confused but exhibited no behaviors. R5's electronic diagnosis list documents R5 has a diagnosis of Vascular Dementia. R5's current computerized Physician Orders document R5 receives Zyprexa (antipsychotic medication) 10 mg (milligrams) by mouth every morning and Zyprexa 2.5 mg by mouth every evening for a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. R5's Care Plan last updated 4/29/24, documents R5 has a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder and takes Zyprexa twice a day. This same care plan does not document R5's target behaviors for the use of Zyprexa. R5's electronic medical record dated 1/1/24 through 5/15/24, does not document R5 has any behaviors to warrant the use of Zyprexa, a psychotropic medication assessment that was completed prior to initiating Zyprexa, or R5's response to non-pharmacological interventions. On 5/15/24 at 1:30 p.m., V8 (Certified Nurse Aide) stated R5 cusses and will hit at staff but not residents. V8 stated, (R5) only cusses at us or occasionally swings his arms when cares are being given. If you have a conversation with him, he is very pleasant. He has more behaviors in the late afternoon and evening time. On 5/15/24 at 1:35 p.m., V6 (Certified Nurse Aide) stated R5 has no behaviors that put him at risk for harming himself or another resident. V6 stated (R5) cusses a lot and he will get a little aggressive (with direct care staff) when providing cares. He doesn't want us to mess with him and wants to be left alone. Any other time he doesn't have behaviors. I think his cussing is just his normal way to talk. It's not really a behavior. It's just him. On 5/15/24 at 1:40 p.m., V7 (Certified Nurse Aide) stated R5 does not have any behaviors that put him at risk to harm himself or other residents. V7 stated R5, Really just cusses a lot. Not really at us, but in general. He will try swinging at staff when providing cares like toileting or getting him dressed. He's never aggressive with other residents. His behaviors are worse in the evening. I

R22's current computerized Physician Order Sheet documents R22 receives Seroquel (antipsychotic medication) 100 mg (milligrams) every morning and Seroquel 125 mg at bedtime for a diagnosis of Unspecified Psychosis. This same Care Plan does not document R22's target behaviors for the use of an antipsychotic medication. R22's MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment dated [DATE], documents R22 has severely impaired cognition; no documented behaviors; and receives Antipsychotic medication on a regular basis. R22's electronic medical record dated 1/1/24 through 5/15/24, does not document R22 had any behaviors to warrant the use of Seroquel, a psychotropic medication assessment that was completed prior to initiating Seroquel, or R22's response to non-pharmacological interventions. On 5/15/24 at 1:00 p.m., V7 (Certified Nurse Aide) stated R22 had no behaviors to justify the use of an antipsychotic medication. V7 stated R22 was never aggressive or pose any harm to himself or others. On 3/15/24 at 12:40 p.m., V2 (Director of Nursing) stated the only behavior monitoring is done by the licensed nurses. V2 stated, The nurses monitor the resident each shift and if a behavior or side effect is noted, then they document the occurrence in the progress notes. There is no behavior tracking completed by the Certified Nurse Aides. We have no psychotropic medication assessment that we complete. I have not seen (R5 or R22) have behaviors to warrant the use of (antipsychotic medications). On 5/16/24 at 1:20 p.m., V1 (Administrator) stated the facility does not have a specific policy on Antipsychotic medication use.

The Infection Control Committee will review the information and try to establish a pattern of infection. Based on the information received, the Infection Control Committee will evaluate policies and procedures for the prevention and control of infections and recommend corrective measures when and where necessary.
