6400.192 | The home is restricting the number of cigarettes the individual can have during the day, but this is not stated in the restrictive plan for individual #1 dated 2/15/2023. | The home shall develop and implement a written policy that defines the prohibition or use of specific types of restrictive procedures, describes the circumstances in which restrictive procedures may be used, the staff persons who may authorize the use of restrictive procedures and a mechanism to monitor and control the use of restrictive procedures. | On 4/18/23 the PSL spoke to and retrained the Lenape staff about how to better word the notes being put in around the individuals smoking. This is not and has never been a restrictive procedure for her. The plan is just a normal part of her behavior which is to try redirection and after ample efforts to educate and redirect, allow her to have the cigarette. It is a health and safety concern. This is what was in her behavior plan, but it was not restrictive.
Desirea has agreed to adhere to a smoking/vaping schedule that is aligned with her medication regimen each day. The schedule is:
- 8:00AM Medication
- 12:00PM Medication
- 3:30PM Flex Time
- 8:00PM Medication
Desirea may smoke within 1 hour of any of these times, before or after. The session does not have to be exactly what the schedule presents.
Staff should strongly encourage Desirea to stick with her schedule and to remind her of natural consequences that could result from increasing the number of times she smokes each day. These consequences may include:
- Spending all of her money on the cigarettes/cigars and not having enough for other things.
- Running out of cigarettes/cigars.
- Negative impact on her physical and mental health (i.e. lung cancer, dependency, withdrawal).
If Desirea continues to fixate on smoking, make attempts to redirect her to activities she enjoys. If she persists on smoking after 3 attempts to redirect, she may proceed to smoke. |
