on 3/12/9 my mom signed a form at the nursing home, that read CONSENT TO SIGN my mom is requesting that I sign all documents on her behalf.

on 3/24/9 in the nurses notes they checked the following statements Mood unimproved AND indication of problem with cognitive ability/memory, decision-making ability, and ability to understand. They also checked under COMMUNICATION SKILLS Resident has communication problems.

I had received a phone call from the facility because they wanted to put her on Trazodone, which is a drug I had bad effects from, so I told them I was not overly fond of that drug, they answered back well it would only be a small doseage.

on 3/24/9 They had my mom sign a form that read INFORMED CONSENT TO USE PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATIONS and they checked Consent to the use of this medication and had her sign it.

my question is do I have any recourse do to the way they handled the drug, after doing research on the drug I found out it should have not been givent to a patient with heart disease and high blood pressure which she had both.
