Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 09/10/24 at 1:55 PM, the DON stated whenever an order for a psychotropic medication was given for a resident, he expected a consent to be signed by the resident or the resident's RP. He stated it was the SW who normally ensured they were signed. He stated the importance of obtaining a signed consent before administering any psychotropic medications was because it was part of the rules and regulations and it was important to inform family of possible side effects. He stated their policy did not address that a consent was needed, however, it did include the consent attached. He stated he would be addressing this on the corporate level. Residents Affected - Few Review of the facility's Psychotropic Medication Policy, revised 11/2022, reflected the following: Psychotropic medications may be considered for residents but only after medical, physical, functional, psychological, emotional psychiatric, social and environmental causes of behavioral symptoms have been identified and addressed.
