Based on observations, review of the facility's policy and clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to consistently and closely monitor a resident exhibiting psychotropic medication side effects and failed to provide a rationale for extended use of an antianxiety medication for two of five residents reviewed (Resident 42 and 79). Findings include: A review of the facility's policy titled Psychotropic Medication/Behavioral Management Policy, last reviewed in March 2026, revealed that PRN (as needed) orders are limited to 14 days for all psychotropic medications (Any medication that affects the brain activity associated with mental processes and behaviors).

The same note revealed Current Geodon dosing was reviewed. The pharmacist noted that 40 mg twice daily is the recommended dose for [their]age. The pharmacist also reviewed that dyskinesia could become more noticeable during dose reduction or discontinuation, including withdrawal-emergent dyskinesia with abnormal facial movements.
