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
