For Resident 40 and 84, during breakfast observation, staff were observed standing while feeding the residents. This deficient practice had the potential to result in lowered self-esteem of the resident. Findings: a. A review of the clinical record indicated Resident 40 was admitted to the facility on 5/19/17 with diagnoses that included unspecified dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning) without behavioral disturbance and malignant neoplasm (group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body) of the abdomen. A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool), dated 5/26/17 indicated Resident 40's cognition was severely impaired. Resident 40 required extensive assistance (resident involved in activity, staff provide weight bearing support) with bed mobility, transfer, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene. Resident 40 required supervision with eating.

On 4/24/18 at 2:35 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) who confirmed Resident 20 was currently on Prozac for depression manifested by verbalization of sadness and Remeron for depression, manifested by verbalization of hopelessness over condition, as ordered. DON indicated to determine the effectiveness of the medication, the facility needs to monitor the targeted behavior for the use of Prozac and Remeron. DON stated it is a requirement to total the monthly behavior exhibited by the resident. DON stated this should be documented in the Psychotropic Summary Sheet. On 4/24/18 at 2:50 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Social Services Director (SSD) who confirmed the Psychotropic Summary Sheet was not completed for January 2018, February 2018 and March 2018 for behavior monitoring for the use of Prozac and Remeron. The SSD stated it was her responsibility to tally the hash marks of the behavior exhibited from the medication administration record (MAR) but she missed to summarize the behaviors. The SSD indicated it is important to summarize the behavior to see how many behavior in each shift was exhibited by the resident, to be able to identify if more or less behaviors were exhibited and if resident needed medication adjustment based on the total behavior exhibited each month.
