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.
Based on medical record review, staff interview, policy review, and review of the medication information
from Medscape, the facility failed to ensure a resident was free from unnecessary psychotropic medication
usages when the facility failed to have an adequate indication of use for an antipsychotic medication. This
affected one (#132) out of three residents reviewed for psychotropic medication usage. Facility census was
129.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #132 revealed an admission date of 05/03/23. Diagnoses include
unspecified head injury, concussion, repeated falls, hypertensive chronic kidney disease, depression, and
restless leg syndrome (RLS). The medical record revealed Resident #132 was discharged on 05/16/23.
Review of the medical record for Resident #132 revealed an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0,
dated 05/10/23, which indicated Resident #132 had severe cognitive impairment and required limited
assistance with bed mobility, toileting, and transfers. The MDS indicated Resident #132 received an
antipsychotic medication routinely.
Review of medical record for Resident #132 revealed a physician order dated 05/05/23 for haloperidol
(antipsychotic medication) 10 milligram (mg) by mouth daily at bedtime routinely for agitation.
Review of medical record for Resident #132 revealed a medication administration record (MAR) for May
2023 which revealed Resident #132 received haloperidol 10 mg daily at bedtime routinely from 05/06/23 to
05/16/23 for agitation.
Review of the medical record for Resident #132 revealed a behavior monitoring assessment, dated
05/06/23 at 11:28 P.M., which stated Resident #132 was agitated, anxious, had continued pacing, fighting,
restless and wandering. The assessment stated staff provided one on one supervision, changed positions,
removed the resident from the environment, toileted resident, and redirected resident which were all
ineffective. Further review of the assessment revealed the documentation was initiated on 05/06/23 but was
not completed until 05/26/23.
Review of the medical record for Resident #132 revealed a nursing progress note dated 05/06/23 at 11:28
P.M., which stated Resident #132 was ordered haloperidol 10 mg by mouth daily at bedtime routinely due
to agitation.

Review of facility policy titled Psychotropic: Anti-psychotic Medication Management, revised October 2017,
stated residents who have not used psychotropic drugs are not to be given these drugs unless the
medication is necessary to treat a specific condition as diagnosed and documented in the clinical record.
The policy also stated if an anti-psychotic medication is ordered, an appropriate diagnosis will be assigned
to the medication and behavior monitoring will be initiated.
Review of medication information from Medscape at
https://reference.medscape.com/drug/haldol-decanoate-haloperidol-342974, revealed haloperidol (Haldol)
is an antipsychotic medication and is used for schizophrenia, psychosis and Tourette Disorder. Haldol has a
Black Box Warnings which indicates patients with dementia-related psychosis who are treated with
antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk for death, as shown in short-term controlled trials; deaths in
trials appeared to be either cardiovascular (eg, heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (eg, pneumonia) in
nature. Haldol is not approved for treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00143160.
