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, review of the behavioral assessment, intervention and monitoring policy and
procedure, the facility failed to document behaviors and attempt non-pharmacological interventions prior to
administering as needed Ativan (antianxiety medication) to Resident #26. This affected one (Resident #26)
of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medication. The facility census was 36.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #26 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
Alzheimer's disease, mental disorder, psychosis, depressive disorder and anxiety.
Review of the medication administration records (MAR) for November and December 2019 and January
2020 revealed Resident #26 received as needed Ativan seventeen times. The MAR revealed Ativan 0.25
milligrams (mg) was to be given as needed for restlessness and anxiety. The MAR did not reveal any
non-pharmalogical interventions were attempted prior to Ativan administration. Further review of the MAR
revealed behaviors were to be documented every shift. No behaviors were documented for November and
December 2019 or January 2020. Review of the progress notes also revealed no documentation of
behaviors or non-pharmalogical interventions being attempted prior to administration of as needed Ativan.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #26 had
severe cognitive impairment.

behaviors or non-pharmalogical interventions when Ativan was administered in November and December
2019 and January 2020.
Review of the behavioral assessment, intervention and monitoring policy and procedure dated December
2016 revealed when medications were prescribed for behavioral symptoms, documentation would include
the rationale for use, approaches and interventions tried prior to the use of medication and specific targeted
behaviors.
