Statements and Decision to Treat:
•Based on the findings of my assessment, the above-stated goals/benefits of the recommended psychotropic drug intervention outweigh the primary risks, as noted above. I have given due consideration to this resident's available past medical history, and current medical comorbidities, including other prescribed medications, in reaching this conclusion. The resident's condition may worsen without intervention at this time. Medication intervention offers the potential to relieve the resident of severe emotional distress and improve functionality and quality of life.
•The Supportive Care may function as a recommendation-only consultation service, and in those instances, the aforementioned recommendations are dependent upon the approval by the facility's medical director and implementation by facility staff.
•The resident or the resident's medical decision-maker gave informed consent to the recommended psychotropic drug regimen. Information was discussed regarding the resident's current psychiatric condition, the nature and purpose of the proposed treatment, including the risks of treatment vs. its benefits, alternatives to treatment including their risks and benefits, along with the risks of no treatment.  Education included BLACK BOX warnings and/or OFF-LABEL use, if applicable.
