**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed ensure a resident was
free from unnecessary psychotropic medications by ensuring staff documented justification for an increase
in a resident's antipsychotic medication. This affected one (#117) of five reviewed for unnecessary
medications. The census was 239.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #117's medical record revealed an admission date of 03/06/20. Diagnoses listed
included cerebral atherosclerosis, heart failure, restlessness and agitation, depression, and dementia with
agitation.

interview for mental status (BIMS) score was 12, indicating the resident had moderate cognitive
impairment. Resident #117 was assessed as not having any psychotic disorders.
Review of physician orders revealed an order to increase the antipsychotic medication Seroquel from 25
milligrams (mg) twice a day to 50 mg twice a day (BID) by mouth (PO) dated 04/15/22 for unspecified

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. Behaviors include
but are not limited to the following: a. Sundowning; b. Severe anger; c. Aggression; d. Agitation related to
sundowning; e. Agitation due to pain (i.e. osteoarthritis); and f. Anxiety. The IDT is responsible for the
following: a. Reviewing the resident's behaviors as indicated; b. Monitoring to ensure behaviors are tracked;
c. Providing direction to unit nurse regarding consulting with and discussing with the physician any
recommended psychotropic drug changes; and d. The MDS nurse will verify that the AIMS (abnormal
involuntary movement score) test is done initially and every six months thereafter for antipsychotic drugs.
