6400.207(4)(I) | The medication Olanzapine. 5mg. tablets, was prescribed for Individual #1 to be administered to the individual on a pro re nata basis for "agitation/psychosis." The Medication Administration Record (MAR) did not contain a protocol or instructions when to administer the medication, nor did it contain a specific description of symptoms or behavior that would indicate to staff that the individual was experiencing agitation or psychosis, and therefore required the medication. | A chemical restraint, defined as use of a drug for the specific and exclusive purpose of controlling acute or episodic aggressive behavior. A chemical restraint does not include a drug ordered by a health care practitioner or dentist for the following use or event: Treatment of the symptoms of a specific mental, emotional or behavioral condition. | This violation occurred due to an oversight by the administrative team. This individual came to us June 15, 2020 with this PRN and without a protocol. This should have been noticed then. This individual never needed to use this PRN. It was discontinued in August of 2020 and was removed from the MAR, however the medication stayed in the medication cabinet. This medication should have been returned to the pharmacy upon discontinuation in August 2020 as this is protocol when discontinuing medications. After the Inspector called our attention to this violation, the medication was immediately returned to the pharmacy to be discarded. We have reviewed the Mental Retardation Bulletin 00-02-09 with the administrative team and all Residential Supervisors. This bulletin outlines the need for written protocols for all psychiatric PRNs. We currently do not serve any individuals that have a psychiatric PRN, but have put procedures in place to avoid such a violation in the future. |
