F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of Pennsylvania's Nursing Practice Act and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to transcribe physician's orders related to medication changes for one of seven residents reviewed (Resident 1). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The Pennsylvania Code, Title 49, Professional and Vocational Standards, State Board of Nursing, 21.11 (a)(1)(2)(4) indicated that the registered nurse was to collect complete and ongoing data to determine nursing care needs, analyze the health status of individuals and compare the data with the norm when determining nursing care needs, and carry out nursing care actions that promote, maintain, and restore the well-being of individuals. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 1, dated August 30, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively impaired, required partial/moderate assist for transfers, and had a diagnosis that included dementia. Review of clinical records for Resident 1 revealed diagnoses that included a history of falls, adjustment disorder with anxiety and depression, and generalized anxiety disorder. Progress notes for Resident 1, dated October 18, 2024, at 3:53 p.m. indicated that the social worker and the Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP) with Psychogeriatric Services called the resident's daughter to review medications. The daughter indicated that she did not have any concerns with the medications that the resident was on, but felt adjustments needed to be made to help the resident get more rest at night. The CRNP discussed increasing the resident's trazodone (an antidepressant used to help with sleep) and melatonin (a medication used to help with sleep) if appropriate, and the daughter was in agreement. Psychogeriatric consult notes for Resident 1, dated October 18, 2024, indicated that the resident was increasingly anxious, depressed, and agitated after family visits and had difficulty sleeping at night. The CRNP recommended to increase the trazadone to 75 milligrams (mg) at bedtime and to increase the melatonin to 10 mg at bedtime. Documentation in the resident's clinical record revealed that the psychogeriatric consult notes and recommendations were reviewed and initialed by the nurse and by the resident's physician on October 22, 2024. Nurse's notes for Resident 1, dated October 25, 2024, at 10:38 a.m., indicated that the interdisciplinary team reviewed the resident after a fall that occurred on October 25, 2024, at 12:01 a.m., indicating that the resident's trazodone and melatonin were increased during the consult with psychogeriatric services.

F 0658 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Psychogeriatric consult notes for Resident 1, dated November 1, 2024, indicated that the resident continued to have difficulty sleeping at night and that resident's current psychiatric medications at that time included trazadone 75 mg at bedtime and melatonin 10 mg at bedtime. Review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for October and November 2024 revealed that the resident received 50 mg of trazadone daily at bedtime and received 3 mg of melatonin daily at bedtime. There was no documented evidence that the trazadone and melatonin were increased per the consult recommendations of October 18, 2024, and signed by the physician on October 22, 2024. Interview with the Director of Nursing on November 5, 2024, at 2:51 p.m. confirmed that Resident 1's physician had approved the increase in trazadone and melatonin as per the psychogeriatric consult recommendations and that the nurse failed to transcribe the recommendations into the physician's orders. 28 Pa.
