**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record reviews and interviews, the facility failed to notify, consistent with his or her authority, the resident
representative(s) when there was a need to alter treatment significantly (that is, a need to discontinue an
existing form of treatment due to adverse consequences, or to commence a new form of treatment) for one
(Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for notification of changes.The facility failed to notify Resident #1's
guardian when (RN A) administered 5ml (10mg) of Lorazepam instead of the physician ordered 0.5ml
(1mg) of Lorazepam to Resident #1 on 04/27/25.This failure could result in resident's family/RP not being
aware of the resident's condition.The findings included:Record review of Resident #1's admission record
reflected a [AGE] year-old male initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and most recently admitted on
[DATE]. The only contacts listed for him were his guardian (Bill to, Responsible Party, and Emergency
Contact #1) with two phone numbers, a fax number, and an email address, and himself. His diagnoses
included epilepsy (a long-term (chronic) disease that causes repeated seizures due to abnormal electrical
signals produced by damaged brain cells), bipolar disorder (mental health condition that causes clear shifts
in moods from extremely elated, irritable, or energized to sad, indifferent, or hopeless), unspecified
psychosis not due to a substance or know physiological condition (psychotic symptoms not aligned with a
specific psychotic disorder or mental illness), mood disorder due to known physiological condition (a mental
health condition characterized by a disturbance in mood (like depression or mania) that is directly caused
by a medical or physiological condition), mild cognitive impairment (a condition in which people have more
memory or thinking problems than other people their age), cognitive communication deficit (difficulty with
communication), cerebellar stroke syndrome (impairments in motor control and posture), and dementia
(loss of memory, language, problem solving and other thinking abilities which significantly impairs a
person's ability to perform daily activities). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessments
dated 04/22/25 and 06/25/25 reflected BIMS scores of 2 and 7 which indicated Resident #1 had severe
cognitive impairment. Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 07/19/17 reflected he had a seizure
disorder, potential for mood problem, was resistive to care, displayed verbal behaviors, had a
communication problem and unclear speech related to diagnoses of bipolar disorder, psychosis, and
history of stroke. Interventions included administer medications as ordered and observe/document for side
effects and effectiveness, behavioral health consults as needed, observe for signs and symptoms of mania
or hypomania racing thoughts or euphoria; increased irritability; frequent mood changes; pressured speech;
flight of ideas; marked change in need for sleep; agitation or hyperactivity, and praise the resident when
behavior was appropriate. Record review of Resident #1's Order Summary Report on 08/13/25 reflected
the following orders:1. Lorazepam Oral Concentrate 2 MG/ML (Lorazepam) Phone Give 0.5 milliliter by
mouth three times a day related to mood disorder due to known physiological condition ordered on
