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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview and policy review, the facility did not ensure two residents (Residents #20 and
#137) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications had as needed psychotropic medications
addressed for necessity and a duration. The facility identified three additional residents who received as
needed psychotropic medications, Residents #3, #4, and #8.
Findings include:
1. Review of the medical record for Resident #20 revealed an admission on [DATE]. Diagnoses included
pleural effusion, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeats, cancer, congestive heart failure and adjustment
disorder with other symptoms. The medical record reflected on 02/05/20 the physician had placed an initial
order for Lorazepam, an antianxiety medication, 0.5 milligram (mg) every two hours as needed for anxiety
or restlessness. No stop date was indicated or stated on the order.
An interview was completed on 03/03/20 at 4:50 P.M. with the Registered Nurse (RN) #502 and verified the
lack of evidence of a 14-day re-evaluation for the use of the anti-anxiety medication. Upon entrance to the
facility on [DATE] at 7:30 A.M. no information was provided to evidence the 14-day reevaluation
requirement. A note was left at the surveyor's desk to indicate the medication was discontinued. No
evidence of the 14-day requirement was presented.
An interview on 03/04/20 at 3:05 P.M. was conducted with the Administrator and these findings were
verified.
Review of the document titled, Psychotropic Medications, last revision 01/2019, was completed, and this
policy stated under bullet point #8, The physician or advanced practice nurse provides documentation in the
clinical record to support the need for medications. If as needed medications are used, the documentation
should be reviewed every 14 days and the rationale documented in the clinical record.
2. Resident #137 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including multiple sclerosis, anxiety
disorder, and major depressive disorder. Review of Resident #137's March 2020 physician orders revealed
an order for Ativan (antianxiety medication) 0.5 mg every four hours as needed for pain ordered 02/05/20
without a stop date and Prochlorperazine Maleate (antipsychotic medication) 10 mg every eight hours as

02/06/20 who documented the order of the as needed antianxiety medication and on 02/05/20 and
02/19/20 by the nurse practitioner who documented in the 02/19/20 note to continue as needed
medications, not currently using at this time. None of the three visit notes specifically documented Resident
#137's receipt of the as needed antipsychotic medication or a duration for the as needed antianxiety
medication. Resident #137's medical record did reveal the pharmacy had reviewed the physician orders on
02/14/20 and only identified a need for a diagnosis related to Resident #137's antidepressant medication.
Review of Resident #137's Medication Administration Record (MAR) since admission revealed neither the
antianxiety or antipsychotic medications had been used.
Interview with RN #502 on 03/03/20 at 4:50 P.M. verified the presence of the antianxiety and antipsychotic
medication orders without stop dates and physician justification.
Review of the facility policy titled, Psychotropic Medications, revised January 2019, stated the physician or
advanced practice nurse provides documentation in the clinical record to support the need for medications
and if as needed medications are used, the documentation should be reviewed every 14 days and the
rationale documented in the clinical record.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure medication was administered and
secure for one resident (Resident #131) of 33 residents observed during the annual survey. The facility
identified nine residents (Residents #1, #11, #13, #14, #15, #127, #129, #135 and #139) who were
independently mobile with or without an assistive device.
Findings include:
Resident #131 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including lung cancer, breast cancer,

medical record revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) was completed on 02/28/20 where
Resident #131 scored a 14 which demonstrated no cognitive impairment. Observation of Resident #131's
bedside table on 03/02/20 at 9:55 A.M. revealed a breakfast tray which the resident was still eating off of,
numerous toiletry items including tissues, a mirror, and brush, and a small plastic cup with five pills. During
Resident #131's interview on 03/02/20 at 9:55 A.M., Resident #131 stated the facility staff leave her
medications for her to take after she finishes her breakfast.
Staff interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #500 on 03/02/20 at 10:02 A.M. verified the cup of medications
at Resident #131's bedside and stated the medications should not have been left, and RN #500 then took
the medications from Resident #131's room. On 03/02/20 at 10:05 A.M., RN #501 verified she had left the
medications and identified the medications as Losartan (used to treat high blood pressure), Loperamide
(antidiarrheal), Norvasc (used to treat high blood pressure), Tylenol (pain medication), and Singulair
(asthma medication).
