F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few be consulted regarding whether or not an increase in Seroquel was warranted. Nursing staff was to make the physician aware of Resident #117's daughter's request and provide supporting documentation in the clinical record of Resident #117's mood for physician reference. Further review of Resident #117's medical record from admission from 03/09/22 (date of admission to dementia care unit) through 04/15/22 revealed no documentation of any increase in behaviors such as delusions, distress, or tearfulness. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/27/22 at 1:40 P.M. confirmed there was not documentation in the medical record of any increase of Resident #117's behaviors that would justify an increase in the antipsychotic Seroquel on 04/15/22. The DON confirmed nursing staff should monitor and document any increase in behaviors in a resident's medical record. Review of the facility's policy titled Use pf Psychotropic Drugs dated effective 04/16/91 and last revised 05/13/22 revealed the IDT will monitor to verify that residents who receive psychotropic drugs either are currently exhibiting identified symptoms, behaviors or have a history of said behaviors.
