F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure monitoring for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1), of the following: 1. Behavior of anxiety (feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness); 2. Psychotic behavior (refers to the observable actions, thoughts, and expression of a person experiencing psychosis [mental state or condition itself, describing a range of symptoms including those that manifest as psychotic behavior]); and 3.

A review of Resident 1's admission Record, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], under general in-patient hospice (a short-term, crisis-like level of care for hospice patients who need more intensive symptom management) care with diagnoses which included dementia (a loss of thinking, remembering, and reasoning skills), Parkinson's disease (a movement disorder of the nervous system that worsens over time) and uncontrolled behaviors, danger to self and others. A review of Resident 1's History and Physical Examination, dated March 19, 2025, indicated Resident 1 does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated April 4, 2025, indicated the following medications were ordered on March 19, 2025: a.Lorazepam Oral Concentrate 2 MG/ML (Lorazepam- psychotropic medication) Give 1 ml by mouth every 4 hours for Anxiety, restlessness, agitation, SOB (shortness of breath) .; b.Quetiapine Fumarate Oral Tablet 50 MG (Quetiapine Fumarate- psychotropic medication) Give 1 tablet by mouth in the morning for Psychosis M/B Unprovoked Physical Behavior for 15 Days .; (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
