F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to develop a care plan for antipsychotic use for Resident #34. This affected one (#34) of three residents reviewed. The census was 39. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the open medical record for Resident #34 (Alleged Perpetrator) revealed an admission date of 09/09/22 and re-admission date of 10/30/23. Diagnoses included paranoid schizophrenia, altered mental status, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and moderate protein-calorie malnutrition. Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 09/21/23, revealed Resident #34 had severely impaired cognition. The assessment indicated Resident #34 had physical and verbal behaviors directed toward others during the seven-day lookback period, which put others at significant risk of physical injury and significantly disrupted the care or living environment. The assessment indicated Resident #34's behaviors were worsening. Review of the physician's orders for November 2023 identified orders for Haloperidol (an antipsychotic medication) 10 milligrams (mg) every six hours as needed (PRN) beginning on 10/23/23 with no stop date. Review of the care plan, revised 08/07/23, revealed there was no care plan for use of antipsychotic medications. On 11/07/23 at 1:35 P.M., interview with Senior Director of Nursing (DON) #100 verified Resident #34 had a PRN order for Haloperidol. On 11/08/23 at 11:46 A.M., interview with Senior Director of Nursing (DON) and Regional Registered Nurse (RN) confirmed Resident #34 had no care plan for use of psychotropic medications.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for 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. Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure orders for antipsychotic medications to be administered as needed (PRN) were limited to 14 days for Resident #34. This affected one (#34) of three residents reviewed. The census was 39. Findings include: Review of the open medical record for Resident #34 (Alleged Perpetrator) revealed an admission date of 09/09/22. Diagnoses included paranoid schizophrenia, altered mental status, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and moderate protein-calorie malnutrition. Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 09/21/23, revealed Resident #34 had severely impaired cognition. The assessment indicated Resident #34 had physical and verbal behaviors directed toward others during the seven-day lookback period, which put others at significant risk of physical injury and significantly disrupted the care or living environment. The assessment indicated Resident #34's behaviors were worsening. Review of the progress note dated 09/28/23 at 1:28 P.M. revealed Resident #34 hit another resident in the face and was screaming at the other resident. Resident #34 was sent to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation. Review of the progress note dated 10/23/23 at 4:45 P.M. revealed Resident #34 returned to the facility and re-admission medication orders were verified by a physician. Review of the physician's orders for November 2023 identified orders for Haloperidol (an antipsychotic medication) 10 milligrams (mg) every six hours as needed (PRN) for agitation beginning on 10/23/23 with no stop date. Review of the electronic medication administration record (eMAR) revealed Resident #34 had not received any doses of the PRN Haloperidol since it was ordered. Review of the pharmacy recommendation, dated 11/01/23, revealed a recommendation was made to discontinue the order for PRN Haldol (Haloperidol) due to PRN antipsychotics were not generally recommended to manage behaviors and federal regulations limited the use of PRN antipsychotics to 14 days with a re-evaluation every 14 days for subsequent renewals. On 11/07/23 at 1:35 P.M., interview with Senior Director of Nursing (DON) #100 verified Resident #34 had a PRN order for Haloperidol (an antipsychotic medication) with no stop date. Senior DON #100 stated 14-day stop dates were only required for residents receiving antipsychotic medications without an appropriate diagnosis and no stop date was necessary for Resident #34 because he had appropriate diagnoses for the use of an antipsychotic medication. Review of the facility policy titled Use of Psychotropic Medication, dated 10/01/22, indicated PRN orders for all psychotropic drugs would be used only when the medication is necessary to treat a diagnosed specific condition that was documented in the clinical record, and for a limited duration.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure Resident #33 and Resident #34's medical record was accurate and complete. This affected two residents (Resident #33 and Resident #34) of three residents reviewed for medical records. Findings include: 1. Review of the open medical record for Resident #34 revealed an admission date of 09/09/22 and re-admission date of 10/30/23. Diagnoses included paranoid schizophrenia, altered mental status, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and moderate protein-calorie malnutrition. Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 09/21/23, revealed Resident #34 had severely impaired cognition. The assessment indicated Resident #34 had physical and verbal behaviors directed toward others during the seven-day lookback period, which put others at significant risk of physical injury and significantly disrupted the care or living environment. The assessment indicated Resident #34's behaviors were worsening. Review of the physician's orders for November 2023 identified orders for Haloperidol (an antipsychotic medication) 10 milligrams (mg) every six hours as needed (PRN) beginning on 10/23/23 with no stop date. Review of the psychiatric progress note dated 10/30/23 revealed Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP) #106 assessed Resident #34 and made no recommendations for the PRN Haloperidol order. Review of the assessment titled Physician's Progress Note, dated 10/30/23, indicated there was a stop date of 11/13/23 for the PRN Haloperidol order. On 11/08/23 at 11:03 A.M., interview with Psychiatric NP #106 confirmed she assessed Resident #34 on 10/30/23 and stated she did not assess the use of PRN Haloperidol at that visit. She stated the assessment that was opened in the electronic health record (EHR) was just added on 11/07/23, backdated to 10/30/23 because she saw the resident that day, and that she usually did not document her notes in the facility's EHR. Psychiatric NP #106 further stated the assessment was only opened on 11/07/23 because Senior Director of Nursing (DON) #100 asked her to document a stop date for the PRN Haloperidol order. She again stated that she never assessed Resident #34 for the use of PRN Haloperidol on 10/30/23. On 11/08/23 at 11:30 A.M. with Senior DON #100 denied telling Psychiatric NP #106 to document something that she never assessed, but he did verify that he asked her to clarify a stop date for the PRN Haloperidol order. 2. Review of Resident #34's progress note in the medical record dated 10/29/23 at 4:23 P.M., revealed Resident #34 used verbally abusive language and Resident #33 was temporarily relocated to another room for safety reasons. Review of the medical record for Resident #33 revealed an admission date of 05/06/09 with diagnoses including dementia, schizophrenia, psychosis, major depressive disorder, anxiety, and Alzheimer's disease.
