Review of Resident 42's psychiatrist note from January 24, 2024, revealed that the resident is currently on
3 antidepressants. Trazodone previously ineffective. Recommend taper off trazodone by reducing the dose
to 25mg 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime.
Review of Resident 42's January, February, and March 2024 Medication Administration Records revealed
the resident continued to receive Trazodone 50 mg until March 28, 2024.
Review of Resident 42's progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated February 10, 2024, which stated:
Resident seen sleeping more than usual during shift. Attempted more than once to awakening but he
verbally expressed he was more tired than usual. Ate 20% of his breakfast and slept through lunch. Meds
held due to resident being sleep. Vitals stable . Resident denied any pain but verbally expressed he felt too
tired to do anything. MD notified.

of low energy, daytime sleepiness at times with recommendations again to reduce the resident's trazodone
dose from 50mg to 25mg.

follow Resident 42's psychiatrist recommendations from January 24, 2024, to reduce the resident's
