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. Side effects for use of psychotropic medications (drugs that affect the brain and nervous system,
primarily used to treat mental health conditions).
This failure had the potential for unnecessary medication use.
Findings:

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.
