etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure timely physician notification for a significant change
in condition for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). This deficient practice had the potential to
delay physician evaluation, timely medical intervention, and result in the deterioration of Resident 1's
condition.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, dated 12/19/2025, the admission
Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 1's diagnoses included acute
and chronic respiratory failure (a condition in which the lungs are unable to provide enough oxygen to the
body or remove carbon dioxide, occurring suddenly and/or over a long period of time), chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD- a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), congestive heart failure
(CHF- a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump blood efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg
swelling), acute pulmonary edema (a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs that makes breathing difficult),
pleural effusion (a buildup of fluid between the lungs and the chest wall that can interfere with breathing),
type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM- a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound
healing), hypertension (HTN- high blood pressure), end stage renal disease (ESRD- a condition in which
the kidneys no longer function well enough to remove waste and excess fluid from the body), dependence
on renal dialysis (a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine
when the kidneys have failed), and history of renal transplant (a past medical history of receiving a donor
kidney to replace failed kidneys). During a review of Resident 1's Admission/readmission Initial
Assessment, dated 8/11/2025 at 7:25 p.m., the admission assessment indicated Resident 1 was readmitted
to the facility from the general acute care hospital (GACH). The admission assessment indicated Resident 1
had a normal thought process and was oriented to person, place, and time, was able to follow simple
commands, had clear speech, understood verbal content, and was understood upon admission. During a
review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated 8/12/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the
capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a
resident assessment tool), dated 8/15/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1's cognition (ability to think,
remember, and reason) was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 1 could eat independently and required
moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for toileting, bathing, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 1's care plan titled, Resident at risk for cardiac distress related to A-fib,
congestive heart failure, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and renal failure/end-stage renal disease,
initiated on 8/14/2025, the care plan indicated interventions included to monitor Resident 1 for headache,
chest pain, irregular pulse, edema, shortness of breath, elevated blood pressure, dizziness, hypotension
(low blood pressure), altered level of mentation and to report findings to the physician promptly. During a
review of Resident 1's Nursing Progress Note dated 8/20/2025 at 9:42 p.m., the progress note indicated

1 returned from dialysis alert with confusion. During a review of Resident 1's Nursing Progress Note dated
8/24/2025 at 11:57 p.m., the progress note indicated Resident 1 was alert with episodes of confusion.
During a review of Resident 1's nursing progress notes from 8/20/2025 through 10/25/2025, the progress
notes indicated there was no documented entries Resident 1's physician was notified of the resident's new
onset of confusion. The progress notes indicated there was no documented entries a nursing assessment
or monitoring was done addressing Resident 1's new onset of confusion. During an interview on
12/30/2025 at 4:39 p.m., with Resident 1's Attending Physician (AP 1), AP 1 stated he was aware Resident
1's baseline laboratory values were abnormal on 8/19/2025. AP 1 stated it was common for residents to
have abnormal laboratory values at baseline. AP 1 stated when laboratory values or a resident's condition
changed from baseline, the facility was expected to notify the physician. AP 1 stated Resident 1 was alert
and oriented at baseline and new onset confusion represented a change of condition. AP 1 stated on
8/20/2025, he would have wanted to be notified of Resident 1's confusion. AP 1 stated if he had been
notified of Resident 1's confusion he would have sent Resident 1 to the emergency room for evaluation
immediately. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/31/2025 at 10:00 a.m., with Registered
Nurse (RN) 1, Resident 1's nursing progress notes dated 8/11/2025 and 8/20/2025, were reviewed.
Resident 1's nursing progress note dated 8/11/2025, indicated Resident 1 was alert and oriented upon
admission to the facility. Resident 1's nursing progress note dated 8/20/2025 at 9:42 p.m., indicated
Resident 1 was alert with confusion upon her return from dialysis. RN 1 stated this was a new onset of
confusion for Resident 1 and represented a change of condition. RN 1 stated when a resident experienced
a change of condition, the resident should have been assessed, the physician should have been notified,
and appropriate follow-up initiated in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure (P&P). RN 1 stated
Resident 1's medical records did not indicate there was a documented nursing assessment, physician
notification, a SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation), or 72-hour monitoring
related to Resident 1's new onset of confusion. RN 1 stated Resident 1 was becoming less alert and less
oriented, and this change of condition was not addressed with appropriate interventions which could lead to
the deterioration of Resident 1's condition. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Change in a
Resident's Condition or Status, revised 12/2016, the P&P indicated the nurse was required to notify the
resident's attending physician of a significant change in the resident's physical, emotional, or mental
condition, complete a comprehensive assessment, document the change in condition, and implement
continuous monitoring for 72 hours or longer as indicated.
