She stated there was a thread email with administration department that includeds DON and MDS to make sure PASRR were in place before a resident wasis admitted into facility and if positive MDS ensures PASRR 2 gets done. She stated a negative outcome would be that when followed by LIDDA that the entity is not aware that the resident is in-house.<BR/>Record Review of Detailed Item-by-Item Guide for Completing the authorization Request for PASRR Nursing Facility Specialized Services Form dated September 2023 by Texas Health and Human Services Reference Services, provided by the facility when asked for policy for PASRR, stated on page 5 under heading PL1 Screening Form If documentation entered on the PL1 Screening Form indicates a suspicion of MI/ID/DD, a PASRR Evaluation (PE) must be completed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident was not given a psychotropic drug unless the medication was necessary to treat a specific condition as diagnosed and documented in the clinical record for 3 ( Resident #34, Resident# 59, and Resident #25) of 4 residents reviewed for unnecessary medications, in that:<BR/>1.Resident #34 was receiving Prozac (an antidepressant) without adequate indication for its use or an appropriate diagnosis.<BR/>2. The facility failed to have an adequate diagnosis or indication for the use of the medication Gabapentin (anti-epileptic drug, used for seizures and some types of pain, with off-label use of anxiety, insomnia, and bipolar disorder) for Resident #59.<BR/>3. Resident #25 was prescribed a psychotropic drug for anxiety without a documented diagnosis of anxiety in the clinical record. <BR/>This failure could place residents at risk of receiving unnecessary psychotropic medications. <BR/>Findings included:<BR/>1. Record review of Resident #34's Face Sheet dated 09/12/24 revealed Resident #34 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses of Alzheimer's Disease (degenerative brain disorder), vascular dementia of unspecified severity (condition caused by the lack of blood that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain), with other behavioral disturbance, unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition (trouble tell what's real and what's not), and major depressive disorder, single episode (mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood). <BR/>Record review of Resident #34's Physician's Orders for September 2024 revealed an order for Prozac oral capsule 40 mg (Fluoxetine HCL), give 1 capsule by mouth one time a day for dementia with a start date of 01/28/23.<BR/>Record review of Resident #34's e-MAR for September 2024 revealed Resident #34 was administered Prozac oral capsule 40 mg 09/01/24 through 09/12/24.<BR/>Record review of Resident #34's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #34 was usually understood by others, would usually understand others, and had severe cognitive impairment and was receiving antipsychotic and antidepressant medications on a routine basis. <BR/>Record review of Resident #34's revised care plan dated 06/01/24 revealed Resident #34 used antidepressant medication (Prozac, trazodone) r/t depression, insomnia. The interventions were to administer the antidepressant medications as ordered by physician, monitor/record occurrence of target behavior symptoms and document in progress notes. Monitor/document/report PRN adverse reactions to antidepressant therapy. <BR/>Prozac had a black box warning: <BR/>Suicidality and antidepressant drugs<BR/>Antidepressants increased the risk compared with placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in short-term studies in children, adolescents, and young adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of fluoxetine or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared with placebo in adults older than 24 years; there was a reduction in the risk with antidepressants compared with placebo in adults 65 years and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Appropriately monitor and closely observe patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Advise families and caregivers of the need for close observation and communication with prescribing health care provider. <BR/>In an interview on 09/12/24 at 12:05 p.m., the ADON stated MDS staff puts in the diagnosis in PCC. The ADON stated the negative outcome of not having a diagnosis in the resident's chart was that she would not have a bad reaction but if it was a different patient with no diagnosis, they would be overmedicating them.<BR/>In an interview on 09/12/2024 at 12:37 p.m., the DON stated the nurses were responsible to enter new orders from doctors into the chart. The DON stated the RN MDS nurse does that update on the MDS for the diagnosis. The DON stated that in the mornings they go over any new orders, the MDS RN attends these. The DON said they do audit the progress notes and the orders for psychotropic medications. The DON said she would check other Progress Notes.<BR/>In an interview on 09/12/24 at 12:59 p.m., the DON said she had reviewed Resident #34's progress notes and was not able to find a progress note from the physician documenting the reason why he put dementia as the indication for the Prozac. <BR/>In an interview on 09/12/24 at 4:00 p.m., LVN C said she did provide care to Resident #34 and was familiar with Resident #34. LVN C said she was not familiar with the medication Prozac. LVN C said since she did not know what the medication was used for, she could not say if the diagnosis of dementia was correct or not and did not know if what the negative outcome would be. LVN C said the Med Aides were usually the ones to give those medications. <BR/>2.

She stated she was giving Buspirone medication to Resident #25 for anxiety. She stated she was responsible for entering the medication orders. LVN B stated the orders reflect in the e-MAR and that was what she follows. She stated when entering these orders, it would ask what diagnosis the medication was used for. She stated she updated Residents #25 Buspirone yesterday, dosage was decreased. LVN B checked in the facility's electronic health records under the medication diagnosis tab and confirmed that there was no Anxiety diagnosis for Resident #25. She stated she was not sure who entered that information in the chart.<BR/>During an interview on 09/12/2024 at 12:05 p.m. with the ADON, stated Resident #25 was taking Buspirone from the hospital and medications get verified with the doctor. She doesn't know why they overlooked putting the diagnosis in the chart. She stated MDS staff put in the diagnosis on PCC.

The RN MDS reviewed the facility's electronic health records chart, he stated he hadn't reviewed Resident #25's chart since the last MDS which was done on 07/16/2024. He stated he reviewed them quarterly. The RN MDS stated that the charge nurse, ADON, or DON were supposed to let him know of any new orders so that if they don't put it in then he could put it in the resident's chart. He stated the negative outcome would be that perhaps other physicians might not see the diagnosis and might not see that she has those conditions. Therefore, they might not know what she was on and might prescribe something else. The RN MDS stated that this one got overlooked, nobody caught it. <BR/>During an interview on 09/12/2024 at 12:37 p.m. with the DON, stated Buspirone was an antianxiety medication.

He said that for falls or anything acute, the ADON or DON update the care plan and add interventions. He said that if falls were not care planned, they could possibly not have proper interventions in place which could possibly cause another fall.<BR/>On 8/1/24 at 11:00 am interview with the ADON, she said that the DON was responsible for updating falls with interventions on the care plans. The ADON said that she only helps the DON with care plans if needed. The ADON said that she did not help in updating Resident #1's care plan for the fall on 12/21/23.<BR/>On 8/1/24 at 1:16 pm interview with the DON, she said that she thinks she was out on leave when the fall occurred for Resident #1.

She said that Resident #1 received the interventions. She said they did what they had to do for therapy and pain management and neuro checks would be in place. She said that in-services for falls and for neglect were done. She said that Resident #1 was not a frequent faller, so there would not have been other interventions, such as mats because they would place the resident more at risk for falls due to resident ambulatory at the time. She said that there were other options to inform staff than placing the fall on the care plan. The DON said that since they always do in-services after a fall, the staff would have been made aware of the fall and interventions at that time. She said that if there were new staff, they would make them aware as well during daily meetings. She said that the resident was care planned as a risk for falls prior to the actual fall. The DON refused to directly answer the question of what could happen if the fall was not care planned with interventions. <BR/>2.

The DON said if an assessment indicated the resident did not have a mental illness but there was a mental illness diagnosis, then the MDS Coordinator should recognize the discrepancy and investigate whether the resident had an evaluation done and if not, inform the local authority to get an evaluation done. The DON said the PASRR process was important to ensure residents whom qualified, received additional specialized services to better their health and well-being. <BR/>Further interview with LVN C on 03/24/22 at 09:06 AM revealed Resident #26 and Resident #9 should have been screened due to the new mental illness/ diagnosis, and the residents should have a level II PASARR.
