Summary
The facility failed to follow a physician's order for a resident who had diagnoses of depression and schizophrenia. The resident was prescribed Prozac 40mg daily for depression, but there was no documentation of behavior or side effect monitoring for this antidepressant as required. This deficiency was identified during a record review, and the DON confirmed that such monitoring was not being conducted or documented for the resident receiving Prozac. This lapse was noted for one out of four residents reviewed in the care area of hospitalizations, with the facility census at 56 at the time of the survey.
