A current policy, titled Fall Management Program Guidelines, dated with a revised date of 3/16/22 and provided by the DON on 5/15/23 at 1:00 p.m., indicated .Definition: A fall is considered to be: 'an unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor, or other lower level, but not as a result of an overwhelming external force (e.g., resident pushes another resident). An episode where a resident lost his/her balance and would have fallen, if not for staff intervention, is considered a fall. A fall without injury is still a fall. Unless there is evidence suggesting otherwise, when a resident is found on the floor a fall is considered to have occurred .Should the resident experience a fall the attending nurse shall complete the 'Fall Event.' This includes an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the fall to determine the cause of the episode, a reassessment to identify possible contributing factors, interventions to reduce risk of repeat episode and a review by the IDT to evaluate thoroughness of the investigation and appropriateness of the interventions .Any orders received from the physician should be noted and carried out. 5. The resident care plan should be updated to reflect any new or change in interventions .7 .communicate interventions during shift report.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident with dementia had an appropriate diagnosis for the use of an antipsychotic medication and a mood stabilizing medication and to ensure recommendations for parameters of laboratory levels were followed for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for unnecessary psychotropic medications. (Resident 42) Finding includes: The record for Resident 42 was reviewed on 1/23/22 at 3:52 p.m. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, unspecified dementia with behavioral disturbance, Alzheimer's disease with late onset, restlessness and agitation, major depressive disorder, chronic kidney disease stage 3, and anxiety disorder. A discharge summary from the inpatient psychiatric facility, dated 11/7/22, indicated the resident was admitted to the psychiatric facility, on 10/23/22, due to increased behaviors of physical aggression over a 72-hour time period. The resident was prescribed Zyprexa for dementia with behaviors and lithium for dementia with behaviors. The goal was to keep the lithium level less than 0.6 due to the resident's advanced age and debility. A physician's order, dated 11/7/22 through 11/29/22, indicated to give lithium carbonate (used to treat bipolar disorder) 300 mg (milligrams) once a day for unspecified dementia with behavioral disturbance. A physician's order, dated 11/8/22, indicated to give Zyprexa (an antipsychotic) 7.5 mg twice a day. A pharmacy review, dated 11/11/22, indicated the medication review was completed. There were no recommendations regarding the inappropriate diagnoses for the use of Zyprexa and lithium with the pharmacy review. A physician's order, dated 11/16/22 through 11/18/22, indicated a CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) and lithium level weekly on Thursday due to the lithium use. The physician's order did not include the parameters of a lithium level of less than 0.6 as indicated by the inpatient psychiatric discharge notes. A lab report, dated as received on 11/17/22 and reported on 11/18/22, indicated the resident had a lithium level of 1.2 with a reference range of 0.5-1.2. This was out of the range of less than 0.6 as recommended by the inpatient psychiatric facility. The lithium dosage was not changed. A physician's order, dated 11/18/22 through 12/13/22, indicated a CMP and lithium level weekly on Tuesday due to lithium use. A lab report, dated as received on 11/22/22 and reported on 11/23/22, indicated the lithium level was 1.0. This was out of the range of less than 0.6 as recommended by the inpatient psychiatric facility. A physician's order, dated 11/29/22 through 12/2/22, indicated to give lithium carbonate 300 mg once a day on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays for unspecified dementia with behavioral disturbance. A NP (Nurse Practitioner) progress note, dated 12/1/22 at 10:17 a.m., indicated the resident was currently on lithium and olanzapine (Zyprexa) after an inpatient psychiatric stay. The resident seemed to have a general decline after starting those medications. The resident was drooling, her gait was not steady, and she was not sleeping well at night. The available labs were reviewed and some of the labs were still pending. The assessment/plan included an altered mental status, unsteady gait, general decline, and drooling. The drooling was likely related to the antipsychotics and the Zyprexa was decreased to 5 mg daily. The labs were pending. The dose of Zyprexa was not decreased until after the resident had a decline of condition. A progress note, dated 12/2/22 at 10:39 a.m., indicated the CMP results were sent to the NP and the lithium level was not available. A progress note, dated 12/2/22 at 2:25 p.m., indicated the lab called with a critical lithium level of 1.5 and the NP was notified. A new order to discontinue the lithium was received. A facility psychiatry progress note, dated 12/13/22, indicated the resident's lithium had been discontinued since the last visit. The lithium level had gone up to 1.8 which was considered a toxic level. The family disclosed the resident only had one kidney and had renal impairment. The primary care physician also decreased the Zyprexa to 5 mg daily. The resident had remained stable without any mood or behavioral issues reported. The plan included to continue the Zyprexa with a diagnosis of psychotic disorder with delusions due to a known physiological cause. There were no reported distressing delusions. The facility did not change the diagnosis for the use of the Zyprexa to a psychotic disorder with delusions due to a known physiological cause as indicated in the facility psychiatry progress note. During an interview, on 1/26/23 at 11:42 a.m., the Consultant Pharmacist indicated the lithium and Zyprexa were ordered for dementia with behaviors. The diagnosis was not appropriate although it was ordered at the psychiatric hospital. The lithium could be used for depression and the resident had a diagnosis for depression, so she did not recommend the facility look at the diagnosis for the medication since the diagnosis was listed somewhere. If a resident with chronic kidney disease was prescribed lithium, usually a lower dose would be ordered, and the kidney function and lithium levels would be monitored weekly for a few months. She did not have a chance to make the recommendation for the weekly labs since they were already ordered. The resident returned to the facility, on 11/7/22, and she did the pharmacy review on 11/11/22 with no recommendations. She did not include recommendations about lithium use with decreased kidney function. The facility had already completed one lithium level. The lithium was discontinued on 12/2/22 due to a high lithium level. A Nursing Drug Handbook 2023 indicated lithium was used to treat bipolar disorder. The contraindications for the use of the medication included severe renal disease and elderly. The adverse reactions were drowsiness, confusion, incoordination (lack of coordination) and hand tremor. A black box warning indicated lithium toxicity could occur at doses close to therapeutic levels. Provisions for prompt and accurate determination of serum lithium levels should be available before the start of therapy. Monitor and discontinue drug for signs and symptoms of lithium toxicity which include ataxia (impaired balance or coordination), drowsiness, weakness, tremor, and vomiting. The overdosage signs and symptoms included drowsiness, muscular weakness, lack of coordination, ataxia, slurred speech, myoclonic (involuntary twitching or jerking) limb movements. A Nursing Drug Handbook 2023 indicated Zyprexa was indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, short term treatment of manic episodes with bipolar disorder and treatment resistant depression. The black box warning included the drug may increase the risk of death in elderly patients with dementia. The drug was not approved to treat patients with dementia-related psychosis. A current policy, titled Psychotropic medication Usage and Gradual Dose Reduction, dated as revised on 11/7/22 and received from the Clinical Support Nurse on 1/24/23, indicated .To ensure every effort is made for residents receiving psychoactive medications to obtain the maximum benefit with minimal unwanted side effects through appropriate use, evaluation and monitoring by the interdisciplinary team .Resident shall receive psychotropic medications only if designated medically necessary by the prescriber, with appropriate diagnosis or documentation to support its usage. The medical necessity will be documented in the resident's medical record and in the care planning process .Regular monthly review of antipsychotics in CAR [clinically at risk] for continued need, appropriate dosage, side effects, risks and/or benefits will be conducted, to ensure the use of psychopharmacologic medications are therapeutic and remain beneficial to the resident .Efforts to reduce dosage or discontinue psychotropic medications will be ongoing .Reviews of medication use will be conducted by the consultant pharmacist monthly and will .Monitor psychotropic drug use in the campus to ensure that medications are not used in excessive doses or for excessive duration 3.1-48(a)(3) 3.1-48(a)(4) 3.1-48(a)(5)
