Summary
Facility staff failed to notify a resident's representative when a new medication, Seroquel, was ordered for the resident. The resident, who had a diagnosis including dementia, was admitted in November 2024. On 12/18/24, the physician ordered Seroquel 25 mg in the morning and two tablets at bedtime for depression. There was no documentation in the medical record indicating that the resident's representative was informed of this new medication order. The medication was administered on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24, and subsequently discontinued after the resident was seen by the physician on 12/19/24. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the representative was not notified of the medication order.
