was notified of the results during the evening shift on 2/23/26 and ordered to transfer to [name of hospital]
for further evaluation and treatment. Follow-up with [name of hospital] confirmed that [Resident 1] was
admitted .following surgery for retrograde intramedullary nailing of the left femur [surgical procedure where
a metal rod is inserted into the broken thigh bone through the knee and into the bone cavity to stabilize the
fracture].During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/25/26 at 12:49 p.m. with the Director of
Nursing (DON), Resident 1's Nurse's note and IDT note were reviewed. The DON stated Resident 1's x-ray
order was on the left knee and for some reason the nurse clicked on the right knee. The DON further stated
the x-ray on the left knee was done on 2/23/26. During an interview on 2/25/26 starting at 1:03 p.m. with the
Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) and DON, in the conference room, the LN 1 stated she wrote the Nurse's Note on
2/18/26 for Resident 1. The LN 1 further stated she called the physician and the physician ordered x-ray of
the left knee because Resident 1 was complaining of pain. The LN 1 added, another licensed nurse carried
out the order, and the x-ray request was made for the right knee instead of the left knee. The LN 1
acknowledged there were no follow up notes made regarding Resident 1's left knee. The DON stated there
should be a follow up note after 2/18/26 when Resident 1 verbalized he bumped his left knee while at
church on 2/15/26. The LN 1 and the DON acknowledged Resident 1 could have been sent out in the
hospital earlier if the x-ray was done on the right body part [left knee]. A review of the facility's policy and
procedure revised April 2007 and titled, Request for Diagnostic Services indicated, .Orders for diagnostic
services will be promptly carried out as instructed by the physician's order.
