Jena, Louisiana Survey Completed on 06-04-2025

Penalty

No penalty information released

The penalty, as released by CMS, applies to the entire inspection this citation is part of, covering all citations and f-tags issued, not just this specific f-tag. For the complete original report, please refer to the 'Details' section.

Summary

A deficiency was identified when a resident with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, who was admitted on 11/06/2020, was found to be receiving Risperdal 1mg twice daily without evidence of a gradual dose reduction (GDR) attempt or documentation that a GDR was clinically contraindicated. The resident's most recent MDS assessment indicated intact cognition and ongoing use of antipsychotic medication, yet there was no record of a GDR being attempted. Additionally, a consultant pharmacist had recommended a GDR for Risperdal, but there was no documented response from the physician to this recommendation. The medical record lacked any documentation supporting either a GDR attempt or a clinical reason for not pursuing one.
