(2) At least two of the following criteria, which can be verified through medical record documentation, shall be used to identify whether there is a need for evaluation of mental disease:
(a) When there are marked changes in the
person's behavior;
(b) When
behavioral and socially functional strengths become weaknesses, and to what
extent this has occurred;
(c) When
the mood of a resident is prolonged, exaggerated, and not in keeping with the
circumstances of the attending situation and environment;
(d) When these abnormal exaggerated states
extend over unusually long periods of time, whether lasting for days, weeks, or
months; criteria for abnormal behavior involves depth, duration, and
situations;
(e) When observations
of behavior take into account the resident's postures, gestures, tone of voice,
walk, ideas expressed, intellectual symptoms, emotions/emotional responses, and
degree of motor activity;

there are special supervisory precautions recommended for the health and safety
of the resident (situations such as suicidal; runaway; careless smoker; history
of non-compliance with medication).
