Interventions included to administer anti-anxiety medication as ordered by the Physician. There were no non-pharmacological interventions to address anxiety, restlessness or agitation in the care plan. R13's pharmacy recommendation dated February 15, 2024, showed R13 was prescribed Lorazepam (anti-anxiety medication) 1 mg (milligram) every 4 hours PRN, greater than 14 days, without a stop date. R13's March 2024 MAR (Medication Administration Record) showed Lorazepam 1 mg, every 4 hours PRN order initiated on February 16, 2024, had a stop date of March 1, 2024. R13 was prescribed Lorazepam 1 mg. every 4 hours PRN on March 7, 2024, through March 21, 2024, without a note written by the prescriber documenting rationale for use.

V8 described R13's behaviors as singing loudly and she is fidgety, but V8 stated she doesn't think R13's singing means she is agitated.

V9 also stated he did not try any non-pharmacological interventions prior to giving the Lorazepam medication. V9 stated sometimes R13 sings, and she appears anxious and other days R13 can go for a few days without appearing anxious. V9 stated we (facility staff) haven't tried a lot of non- pharmacological interventions. V9 also stated R13's singing may just be a form of self-expression, not a sign of anxiety.
