interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain an informed consent (voluntary agreement to accept
treatment and/or procedures after receiving education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives
offered) verification from a resident responsible party (RP - a person who makes medical decision for a
resident) for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1) regarding the administration of antipsychotic (a
medication used to treat psychosis [a severe mental condition in which thought, and emotions are so
affected that contact is lost with reality] related symptoms and conditions) medication known as Olanzapine
(a medication used to treat and manage psychosis) from Resident 1's RP.

brain works and causes changes in mood, awareness, thoughts, feelings, or behavior) medication to
Resident 1 without informed consent and denied Resident 1's RP the right to make informed treatment
decisions.
Findings:
