Summary
The facility failed to ensure accurate completion of the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) for one resident. The resident, who had a history of epilepsy, seizures, mood disorder, and major depressive disorder, was admitted with intact cognition and had active physician orders for Buspar (an anti-anxiety medication) and Sertraline (an anti-depressant medication) during the review period. However, the PASARR, completed and signed, incorrectly indicated that the resident had not been prescribed any psychotropic medications in the previous six months. This inaccuracy was confirmed by the Director of Nursing during an interview.
