**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to report hypotension (blood pressure less than
100/60 mm/Hg) to physician for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1).This failure resulted in Resident
1 being found hypotensive with a blood pressure of 76/44 and altered mental status (a sudden or gradual
change in a person's baseline mental state, including confusion, decreased alertness, or
disorientation).During record review of admission record, printed on 2/5/26, Resident 1 was admitted on
[DATE].During record review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment used to guide care)

assess mental status) score was 15 out of 15, indicated Resident 1's cognition intact.During a review of
Resident 1's Care Plan Report, initiated 12/5/25, the report indicated, [resident 1] has altered
cardiovascular status r/t persistent.hypotension . The ‘Goals' within the care plan indicated, Resident 1 will
be free from complication of cardiac problems through the review date.During a review of Resident 1's
Order Listing Report, initiated 12/1/25, the report indicated, Metoprolol Tartrate Oral Tablet 100 MG
(Metoprolol Pharmacy Tartrate) Give 2 tablets by mouth at bedtime for HTN. Hold if SBP <100 or HR <60.
During a review of Resident 1's Weights and Vitals Summary, dated 12/1/25 to 12/9/25, the summary
indicated ten separate instances where Resident 1's SBP was less than 100 mm/Hg and not reported to
physician. During a review of Resident 1's Change of Condition documentation, dated 12/9/25 at 10:41

(LVN) 2 stated a low and reportable blood pressure is systolic blood pressure (SBP; top number in a blood
pressure reading indicating the pressure in arteries when the heart contracts) less than 90 millimeters of
mercury (mmHg; the standard medical unit used to measure blood pressure). LVN 2 stated a SBP less than
90 mmHg warranted a blood pressure recheck and communication to the physician, once blood pressure is
confirmed. LVN 2 stated blood pressure should be assessed before and after any blood pressure
medications were given to ensure resident safety and to assess for hypotension and hypertension. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 2/2/26, at 1:36 p.m., Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated
blood pressure should be assessed before blood pressure medication administration, despite physician
order for vital sign frequency. ADON stated Resident 1's blood pressure readings of 90/56 mm/Hg on
