The DON confirmed that an x-ray of Resident 1's knee was completed on 3/2/25 and the x-ray had indicated that Resident 1 had a broken tibia. DON confirmed that the facility had not received the x-ray report for Resident 1 on 3/2/25, and had not followed up on getting those results. DON confirmed Resident 1's physician was not notified of the x-ray results until 3/4/25, when the facility recognized they never received the x-ray report from 3/2/25.
