**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedures titled Requesting, Refusing
and/or Discontinuing Care and Treatment, reviewed March 2025, for one of three sampled residents
(Resident 1). By failing to notify Resident 1 ' s physician of the resident ' s refusal to take prescribed
tuberculosis (TB, a contagious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which typically
affects the lungs) medications:
1. Isoniazid (used to treat TB and/or prevent its return) 300 milligrams (mg, metric unit of measure) refused
on 4/9/25, 4/12/25, 4/13/25, 4/25/25, and 5/2/25.
2. Pyridoxine 50 mg (treats vitamin B6 deficiency) refused on 4/9/25, 4/12/25, 4/13/25, 4/25/25, and 5/2/25.
3. Rifampin (antimicrobial medication used to kill TB bacteria in the body) 300 mg refused on 4/20/25,
4/25/25, and 5/2/25.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 1 becoming reinfected with active TB, a delay
in care and treatment, or cause a decline on overall medical condition resulting in death.

resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including anemia (a condition where the body

3/23/25, the MDS indicated, Resident 1 had severe cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) impairment, and required
partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half of the effort) for eating, oral hygiene, toileting,
showering/bathing, and dressing and required supervision or touching assistance for bed mobility and
transfers.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Oder Summary Report dated 5/7/25, the report indicated an order for
