Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that a resident's medication regimen was free from unnecessary psychotropic medications for one of seven residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Resident 8).Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Psychotropic Medication Use, with a last revised date of February 2025, revealed in section titled PRN Medication that 3. PRN [as needed] orders for psychotropic medications are limited to 14 days. a. For psychotropic medications that are NOT antipsychotics: If the prescriber or attending physician believes it is appropriate to extend the PRN order beyond 14 days, they will document the rationale for extending the use and include the duration for the PRN order. Review of Resident 8's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD-a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions) and anxiety disorder (mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities). Review of Resident 8's physician orders revealed an on order for Klonopin (clonazepam) [a psychoactive medication used to treat anxiety] 0.5 mg (milligrams) give 0.25 mg every 12 hours as need for anxiety, dated June 30, 2025. The order failed to include a 14 day stop date. Review of Resident 8's Medication Administration Record's for June 2025, July 2025, and August 2025 revealed that he had not received any doses of the Klonopin. Email communication received from the Director of Nursing on August 6, 2025, at 2:59 PM, indicated that Resident 8's as needed Klonopin order had been discontinued. During a staff interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Employee 2 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) on August 7, 2025, at 11:05 AM, Employee 2 indicated that the facility electronic health record program does not identify clonazepam as a benzodiazepine (a psychoactive medication), but rather an anticonvulsant 9 (antiseizure medication) so the order would not have flagged as needing a 14-day stop date. She indicated that a 14-day stop date should have been included in the order given that it was being utilized to treat anxiety. 28 Pa. Code 201.14(a) Responsibility of licensee28 Pa.

At the time of interview, Employee 7 was reapplying Resident 5's helmet. The helmet was noted to be a soft padded helmet with no securing device, which would prevent Resident 5 from removing the helmet as he desired. Review of Resident 5's Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set - an assessment tool to review all care areas specific to the resident such as a resident's physical, mental or psychosocial needs) with the assessment reference date (last day of the assessment period) of November 28, 2024, indicated in Section P.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some for Resident 128. Interview with the NHA on August 7, 2025, at 11:39 AM, revealed he would expect orders to be discontinued if no longer indicated.Review of Resident 141's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included Hodgkin's lymphoma (a cancer of the immune system) and moderate protein-calorie malnutrition (the state of inadequate food intake) During a resident interview with Resident 141 on August 4, 2025, at 11:22 AM, there was a medication cup containing several pills noted on her overbed table. Resident 141 indicated that the nurse had left them there for her while she went to get a shower. Resident 141 indicated that she was going to take them and that the nurses normally do not leave them there. Resident 141 shared an incident where she had spilled her medications on the floor when she went to take them and that she put on her call light and a nurse aide came in to answer the light. Resident 141 said she asked the nurse aide what she should do like let the nurse know or what and Resident 141 said the nurse aide picked up all the pills on the floor and told her she would have to take those. Resident 141 said she was not sure when this occurred. She did not indicate whether or not she took the medications. Review of Resident 141's Medication Administration Records for May 2025, June 2025, July 2025, and August 1-5, 2025, revealed that she had been documented as receiving all her medications as ordered at times specified in orders. During an interview with the NHA and DON August 6, 2025, at 11:30 AM, observation and Resident 141's interview findings were shared for further follow-up. Email communication received from the DON on August 5, 2025, at 2:59 PM, indicated that Resident 141 would be evaluated for self-administration of medications. The email further indicated that [Employee 3] had stated that there was a day when Resident 141's medications were on the floor and that [Employee 4] picked up the medications and gave them back to resident, but that Employee 4 did not report the occurrence until several days later. The DON further indicated that Employee 3 educated Employee 4 that medications should not be given back to a resident after being on the floor, but rather bring them to nurse and new ones would be given. During a staff interview with Employee 3 (Registered Nurse) on August 7, 2025, at 9:36 AM, she confirmed that she leaves medications at Resident 141's bedside for her to take because Resident 141 does not like to take them all at once. She indicated that there was an occasion a couple of months ago or so where either Resident 141 or someone bumped the medication cup that was on the overbed table, which caused pills to be spilled onto the overbed table. Employee 3 indicated that Employee 4 did not know that she was not supposed to touch a resident's medications. Employee 3 indicated that she was not completely sure but that she did not think Resident 141 took the medications that had spilled. Employee 3 indicated that Employee 4 told her about later in the day, possibly the end of the shift. Employee 3 said she educated Employee 4 immediately and that Employee 4 said she would not do it again, but thought it was ok since that was what she does at home. Employee 3 further indicated that Resident 141 was an exceptional case as she does not like to take all her medications at one time. Employee 3 again confirmed that she leaves Resident 141's medications at the bedside and goes back to check to see if Resident 141 has taken them. She said that today she tried just giving Resident 141 just two medications at a time. During a staff interview with Employee 4 (Nurse Aide) on August 7, 2025, at 9:42 AM, Employee 4 indicated that when she went into Resident 141's room to deliver her meal tray there were two pills on her overbed table beside an overturned cup. Employee 4 indicated that she picked the pills up, put them back in the cup, and left them on the over bed table. Employee 4 said she could not remember if she told Resident 141 to take them or not. Employee 4 said she told Resident 141's nurse at the end of the shift on the day this happened, but could not recall exact date. Employee 4 indicated that she received education the day it happened and that she was now aware that she cannot handle a resident's medication.
