The PH stated she had reviewed the response from the March recommendation and an appropriate diagnosis for antipsychotic use was not given, so she had reissued the recommendation.

The report indicated that as-needed psychotropic medications should have a 14-day stop date, unless a longer time frame is deemed appropriate by the physician.
The report indicated if the duration of use needed to be extended past 14 days, to provide a rationale for continuing use and a specific duration of therapy.

NP-A stated it was unclear why R164 was using quetiapine, so on 7/29/24 she had updated the order to include an indication of resistant anxiety but was unable to specify what symptoms of resistant anxiety R164 had. NP-A stated the previous provider had talked with RR-C who was upset because R164 was not falling asleep at the same time every night and had requested the medication be continued so they had. NP-A stated, Maybe it [quetiapine] was more appropriate in the past and was unable to give an indication for current use.

The nurse must ask those questions.
Some medications are prescribed for different reasons.
But is their patient taking the medication for seizures or what? Regarding the administration of medications via gastric tubes, DON stated a provider order is required to administer medications together because it could cause interactions.
Interactions could even be life threatening or have a negative outcome.
The order needs to come from the provider. DON stated It is 101 nursing, if you have 10 meds, you need 10 med cups, one for each medication. It is basic nursing.

7/31/24, on the tray which had three items, including milk, listed on it with a star (i.e., *) next to them. NA-H reviewed the menu slip and verified the section labeled, Beverage Pref:, was left blank but expressed the starred items were the major things that they like. NA-H verified they didn't serve R39 any milk, despite it being starred on the slip, and expressed they served him the cranberry juice instead as, He [R39] doesn't like milk.

KS stated this was important to do for customer service and to ensure the resident is getting what they're wanting.

On 8/1/24 at 1:03 p.m., the assistant director of nursing (ADON) and regional nurse consultant (RNC) were interviewed. ADON explained themselves, along with RNC, were helping to manage and oversee the facility' infection control program since the previous infection preventionist (IP) had abruptly resigned a few months prior. ADON verified they had reviewed R158 and R17's respective medical records, and explained the PointClickCare information was the most current, including with data pulled from the MIIC (Minnesota Immunization Information Connection). ADON verified neither R158 or R17 had their respective, eligible doses offered or provided prior to the survey to their knowledge and expressed they had been, so far, unable to locate any documentation to demonstrate otherwise but would provide it, if located. ADON explained the previous IP apparently had been offering the vaccinations but not giving them. RNC stated, in hindsight, a quality assurance (QA) project should have likely been started for immunizations but had not been. RNC and ADON both verified they were going to review a 'whole house' audit now and get the immunizations offered, as needed, moving forward adding, It's in the process. ADON stated it was important to ensure vaccinations were offered and, if accepted, provided to promote resident' health adding, They have diagnoses that put them at risk.
The facility' policy on pneumococcal vaccinations was requested, however, was not received.
