Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure four out of four sampled residents received care
which met professional standards when: 1. One Resident (Resident 1) suffered a 22 day delay in treatment
of urinary tract infection and 2. three residents (Residents 3, 5 and 7) did not receive medications per order
which had the potential to result in a stroke, high blood pressure, and for one resident (Resident 7) who
suffered breathing problems and requested to be transferred to a facility for a higher level of care through
emergency transport.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 1's, admission Record , indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with a history of urinary tract infection, diabetes (a chronic disease which occurs when your sugar
levels are too high), acute kidney failure (sudden decline in kidney function which could be caused by
infection or condition which reduce blood flow to the kidneys) and high blood pressure.
During a review of Resident 1's Orders dated 10/29/24, indicated a licensed member nurse practitioner
ordered for a laboratory test for urinary analysis with culture and sensitivity (test which checks for bacteria
and other germs in a urine sample and determines which antibiotics (medications to treat bacterial
infections) would be most effective to treat an infection). A review of the completed test result for the urinary
analysis with culture and sensitivity dated 11/8/24 indicated the specimen had been collected and sent to
the laboratory. On 11/11/24, the culture was resulted to have grown bacteria and indicated to be sensitive to
numerous antibiotic medications and reported to the facility. On 11/22/24 the nurse practitioner indicated
per the Medication Administration Record to prescribe Macrobid (an antibiotic to treat a urinary tract
infection) for seven days.
During an interview on 12/17/24 at 1:35 p.m. with Licensed Staff A, Licensed Staff A, stated the nurse
practitioner had prescribed the laboratory test for urinalysis, culture and sensitivity on 10/29/24 but the
antibiotic was not prescribed until 11/22/24 and proceeded to locate the test results. Licensed Staff A stated
the specimen had been obtained and sent to the laboratory on 11/8/24 and the results came back on
11/11/24 which did not make sense to Licensed Staff A. License Staff A stated it should not have taken that
long to obtain a urine sample for culture and sensitivity, and stated it was a pretty simple to obtain a urine
sample.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/19/24 at 10:10 a.m., with Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 1's medical record and laboratory test results were reviewed. The DON stated, did see the urine
culture and sensitivity sample was sent on 11/8/24 and the results were faxed to the facility on [DATE]. DON
stated she was not aware that the staff had not obtained or sent the specimen.

DON stated all her nurses should be able to obtain a urinalysis specimen. DON reviewed the medical
record and stated the antibiotic medication prescribed for Resident 1 was on 11/22/24 which was 11 more

pharmacy would deliver medication for new admission residents within 2-4 hours but there are times when
a new resident would have not had their medications because some nurses do not send the information to
the pharmacy like they should, and it happens a lot.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/17/24 at 4:02 pm. with Licensed Staff E, Licensed
Staff E reviewed Resident 5's MAR dated 12/9/24 and 12/10/24 and confirmed the medications were

the medications before the timed 9 a.m. dose on 12/10/24. Licensed Staff E stated the metoprolol and
potassium medications due at 9 a.m. on 12/10/24 should have been delivered to the facility and been

delivery times corresponded with the administration times, meaning the delivery should be around 5- 6 a.m.
so the medications are at the facility for the medications due to be administered at 9 a.m. DON stated the
facility could order medications to be delivered STAT or as soon as possible and that would move up the
delivery time to 30-45 minutes. DON stated if the nurse who had attempted to administer a medication and
the medication was not available in the medication cart then they should check the medication room to see
if it had been delivered.
