Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
Based on review of the medical record, staff interviews, and review of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
guidelines, the facility failed to ensure adequate behavioral monitoring to evaluate effectiveness and
psychotropic medication necessity for Resident #136. This affected one resident (#136) of five reviewed for
unnecessary medications. The facility census was 29.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #136's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/20/25 with diagnoses including
Parkinson's Disease without dyskinesia, cognitive communication deficit, muscle weakness, major
depressive disorder, type two diabetes mellitus without complications, age-related osteoporosis without
current pathological fracture, history of falling, neurocognitive disorder with Lewy bodies, and severe
dementia with agitation.
Review of Resident #136's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed on 05/28/25, revealed the
resident was dependent on staff for upper and lower body dressing, toileting and showering. She required
substantial assistance for changing positions and she was dependent on others for moving the wheelchair
50 feet.
Review of Resident #136's physician orders revealed two orders dated 05/20/25 for Seroquel (an
antipsychotic medication) for dementia in other diseases, classified elsewhere, severe with agitation. One
order was for Seroquel 25 milligrams (mg) to be given twice a day and the other order was for Seroquel 50
mg to be given in the evening with the 25 mg Seroquel. Neither order specified instructions regarding
monitoring Resident #136's behaviors. There were no orders for Resident #136 specifying behavioral
monitoring.
Review of progress notes for Resident #136 from 05/20/25 through 05/29/25 revealed no progress notes
regarding any negative behaviors for Resident #136.
Review of Resident #136's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 05/20/25 through 05/28/25
revealed no documentation the resident received monitoring for effectiveness and adverse consequences
for the use of the medication Seroquel.
Review of Pharmacy Progress Note dated 05/26/25 revealed an Medication Regimen Review (MRR) was
completed for Resident #136 and there were no recommendations.

be a fall risk but wasn't a fall risk now. She spoke of resident's physical decline and said Resident #136 had
no recent behavioral issues.
Interview on 05/28/25 at 2:39 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #136's
medications were not new as she was a transfer from the facility's memory care unit in assisted living. She
said the resident's normal body posture was to lean forward and that they had a care conference with the
family regarding the need for more care due to her significant decline. She said she didn't think the resident
was a risk for elopement and that they charted behaviors by exception.
Observation on 05/29/25 at 8:15 A.M. in the alcove of the dining room, revealed CNA #555 greeted
Resident #136, asked her to pick up her feet and then wheeled her to dining room table and locked the
wheelchair. Resident #136 was leaning forward with her head over the table.
Observation on 05/29/25 from 8:22 A.M. to 8:41 A.M., Resident #136 touched her nose once with the
clothing protector, but otherwise had no body movement; she did not attempt to move towards or away from
the breakfast in front of her and was exhibiting no negative behaviors.
Interview on 05/29/25 at 8:46 A.M. with CNA #555 revealed she worked with Resident #136 at her previous
assisted living setting and acknowledged Resident #136 had declined since that time.
Observation on 05/29/25 at 12:20 P.M., Resident #136 was seated in her wheelchair at a table in the dining
room. The resident was exhibiting no negative behaviors.
Interview on 05/29/25 at 12:41 P.M. with Physician #500 revealed he was aware of the black box warning
that Seroquel should not be used in patients who had dementia. He said that Resident #136 used to have
significant behavioral issues. He confirmed he wrote the prescription for the Seroquel to continue with her
medication regimen and not because of recent behaviors. He confirmed he did not have orders for
behavioral monitoring. He said that while she was in memory care she was followed by an outside
psychiatric consulting group. He said the last known visit he had with resident in which behaviors were
reported to be a concern was August of 2024. He reviewed his notes from appointments since that time and
confirmed that he did not have any notes regarding behavioral issues since August 2024. He also had not
received any reports of significant behavioral issues from staff since that time. He was uncertain regarding
the last time a gradual dose reduction (GDR) had been attempted and stated it would be appropriate to try
again. He said he did not think Resident #136 had been seen by the outside psychiatric consulting group in
four or five months.
Review of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) manufacture's guideline for Seroquel revealed Seroquel
is an atypical antipsychotic indicated for the treatment of Schizophrenia, Bipolar I disorder manic episodes
and Bipolar disorder, depressive episodes. There is a black box warning that states elderly patients with
dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. Seroquel is
not approved for elderly patients with dementia related psychosis.

Review of Resident #16's medical record revealed an admission date of 06/03/15. Medical diagnoses
included right foot talipes equinovarus (a club-like deformity), hemiplegia, mild cognitive impairment,
muscle weakness, and marked limited ambulation.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed on 04/29/25 revealed Resident #16 had
intact cognition and was independent with eating, oral hygiene, showering, and dressing. He required
partial to moderate staff assistance with toileting and was dependent on a manual wheelchair for mobility
due to a severe foot deformity and the inability to walk.
Review of Resident #16's care plan dated 02/05/24 included a goal that the resident would receive the
appropriate staff support with all functional abilities and interventions to include mobility devices as
ordered. The care plan also revealed the resident was at risk for pressure areas and frequent skin tears to
extremities secondary to thin, fragile skin, and history of leukemia, anemia, reduced mobility, muscle
weakness, contractures to the right hand, fingers, right ankle/foot, and right foot club deformity and he
preferred not to wear the splint/brace. The skin care plan (updated on 06/08/24) stated the resident was
seen by the podiatrist, he was diagnosed with onychomycosis (a fungal infection) and his shoes were worn
out and he needed new shoes. Interventions included to administer medications/treatments as ordered and
encourage the residents not to ambulate on his right foot.
Review of Resident #16's podiatry notes dated 06/07/24 stated Shoes are worn out, needs new shoes,
right foot severely deformed.
Interview with Resident #16 on 05/27/25 at 1:23 P.M. confirmed he would like to have a new orthopedic
boot to help with positioning of his right foot. He stated his boot went bad, and that he would wear it
regularly if he had a newer boot.
Observation on 05/27/25 at 12:36 P.M. of Resident #16's orthopedic boot revealed the bottom area was
worn down with no tread, there was a medium sized hole out of the fabric of the heel, and it was unkempt
with wear and dirt.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse #14 on 05/28/25 at 2:42 P.M. confirmed she had not seen Resident
#16 wear his orthopedic boot unless he went to an outside appointment, which did not happen often.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 05/29/25 at 9:57 A.M. confirmed the Podiatrist
recommended a new boot for Resident #16 at his last appointment on 06/07/24, but the facility did not
follow up on the recommendations.

CVD prevention and indicated the medical director was notified, and no new order was provided. The
prescriber response section was left blank, and the form contained only the Director of Nursing's signature.
Review of Resident #24's progress note dated 08/14/24 revealed a subsequent monthly medication
regimen review was completed with no new recommendations.
Review of the email dated 08/15/24 from the facility's pharmacist to the Director of Nursing revealed there

not provide a rationale or date on the recommendation from 07/16/24 from the physician. Additionally,
although a response was requested again on 08/15/24, the discontinuation order was not finalized until
08/20/24.

acknowledged that comprehensive data supporting McGeers' criteria had not been documented in the
facility's infection tracking log event report.
Review of the Antibiotic Stewardship policy, revised 09/14/23, revealed antibiotic treatment will only be
considered if the suspected infection meets McGeers' criteria and if pathology strongly suggests a bacterial
origin. For urinary tract infections without a catheter, both Criteria One and Two must be met. Criteria One
includes symptoms such as acute flank or supra pain, increased incontinence, urgency or frequency, and
fever. In the absence of a fever, at least two of the other listed symptoms must be present. Criteria Two
requires a urine culture showing at least 100,000 colony forming units per milliliter (CU/ml) of no more than
two species, or 100 CU/ml of any number of organisms if collected via straight catheter.
