F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure, for one of five sampled residents (Resident 16) was free from unnecessary psychotropic (drugs that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) medications when Resident 16 was administered lorazepam (used to treat anxiety) without adequate behavioral monitoring during the use of lorazepam. This failure had the potential to result in unnecessary use of medications for Resident 16 which increased the potential for medication interactions, adverse reactions, and unidentified risks associated with the use of lorazepam that included but not limited to sedation, dizziness, unsteadiness, and difficulty concentrating. Findings:On December 10, 2025, at 10:39 a.m., a group interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) 1 regarding the facility's psychotropic medication management process. The DON and ADON 1 stated all psychotropic medication orders were expected to include an order to monitor the target behavior. ADON 1 stated all medication and monitoring orders were documented by the nursing staff in the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR).On December 10, 2025, a review of Resident 16's admission Records, indicated, the admission Records indicated Resident 16 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which includes dementia (loss of brain function impacting memory, thinking, and daily tasks), psychosis (when a person has trouble telling the difference between what's real and what's not), and depression.A review of Resident 16's medical records included a physician's order, dated December 8, 2025, which indicated, Lorazepam Oral Concentrate (a strong liquid medicine) 2 (two) mg (milligram - unit of measurement) per 2 (two) ml (milliliters - unit of measurement), give 0.5 ml by mouth every 4 (four) hours as needed for Anxiety M/B (manifested by) SOB (shortness of breath).A review of Resident 16's medical record indicated there was no physician's order to monitor the target behavior Anxiety M/B SOB during use of lorazepam.A review of Resident 16's MAR, and Progress Notes, dated December 8, 2025, to December 11, 2025, indicated Resident 16 was administered lorazepam eight (8) times and there was no documented evidence that the target behavior Anxiety M/B SOB was monitored and documented by nursing staff during the use of lorazepam on the following dates & times: - December 8, 2025, at 16:45 (4:45 p.m.);- December 9, 2025, at 18:46 (6:46 p.m.);- December 10, 2025, at 03:13 (3:13 a.m.);- December 10, 2025, at 08:57 (8:57 a.m.);- December 10, 2025, at 16:47 (4:47 p.m.);- December 10, 2025, at 20:52 (8:52 p.m.);- December 11, 2025, at 01:16 (1:16 a.m.); andDecember 11, 2025, at 10:14 a.m.On December 11, 2025, at 12:26 p.m., a group interview and concurrent record review was conducted with the DON, ADON 1, and ADON 2.
