Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the comprehensive care plan was
individualized for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1), who was diagnosed with cancer and
prescribed belzutifan (medication to treat cancer) 120 milligrams twice a day, indicated specific side effects
(an effect of a drug or other type of treatment that is in addition to or beyond its desired effect) and specific
monitoring required when taking belzutifan. As a result of this deficient practice, Resident 1 was
inadequately monitored and was at risk for potential adverse effects (unintended, undesirable, and
potentially harmful reactions to a therapy, such as medication, that range from mild to severe and can
sometimes be linked to the treatment's primary action or an individual's unique response) or toxicities
associated with taking Belzutifan. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated
the resident was originally admitted on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included left
kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD, lung disease causing
restricted airflow and breathing problems), and heart disease (a range of conditions that affect the heart).?
During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated 5/1/2025, the H&P indicated the resident
has a diagnosis of left kidney cancer and liver cancer. The H&P indicated that the resident does not have
the capacity to understand and make decisions.? During a review of Resident 1's admission Minimum Data
Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated 5/8/2025, the MDS indicated that the resident did not require
oxygen therapy on admission.? During a review of Resident 1's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated that
the resident has moderately impaired cognition (the ability to process thoughts). The MDS also indicated
that the resident requires supervision (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or
contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) on activities such as toileting, putting on clothes,
rolling left to right while in bed, changing position from sitting to lying, and walking up to 150 feet.?? ?
During a review of Resident 1's Physician's orders for the month of June 2025, the order indicated tan order
for Belzutifan Oral Tablet 40 milligram (mg a unit of measuring mass), Give 3 tablet by mouth one time a
day for [cancer] = 120 mg,with a start date of 5/9/2025. During a review of Resident 1's Oncology Clinic
Notes provided by the facility, dated 5/2/2025, the Notes indicated a plan for the resident to switch
medications to Belzutifan 120 mg. The notes also indicated for the resident to have a complete blood count,
(CBC- a common blood test that provides information about the different types of cells in your blood,
including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) and Complete Metabolic Panel, (CMP- a common
blood test that provides information about the different types of cells in your blood, including red blood cells,
white blood cells, and platelets) prior to the next clinic visit.? ? During a review of Resident 1's Oncology
Clinic Notes provided by the facility, dated 5/30/2025, signed by ONCOLOGIST 1, the Notes indicated the
following:? Continue Belzutifan 120 mg daily.? Monitor for toxicity including hypoxemia, anemia, edema,

[appointment] here in 4 weeks around 6/27/2025.? During a concurrent observation and interview on
8/14/2025 at 1:37 PM inside Resident 1's room, Resident 1 was observed sitting on the bed while wearing
a nasal canula (a small plastic tube that is used to deliver supplemental oxygen to the resident) that is
connected to an oxygen concentrator. The oxygen concentrator was set to deliver 3 LPM of supplemental
oxygen. Resident 1 stated he is always using his supplemental oxygen. Resident 1 added the nurses tell
him to always use his supplemental oxygen because his oxygen goes down.? ? During a concurrent
interview and record review on 8/14/2025 at 3:12 PM with LVN 1, Resident 1's entire medical records was
reviewed, including the progress notes, MAR, and physician's orders. LVN 1 stated Resident 1's physician's
orders and MAR did not include an order to monitor Resident 1 for any adverse effects associated with the
administration of belzutifan and that there was no documentation indicting that Resident 1 was being
monitored for adverse effects of belzutifan. LVN 1?could not state why the medication?belzutifan was
discontinued on 8/8/2025.? LVN 1 could not state what adverse effects of belzutifan was when administered
to a resident. During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/14/2025 at 3:29 PM with RN 1,
Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. RN 1 stated that Resident 1's care plans did not indicate the use of
the medication belzutifan as a treatment for Resident 1's cancer. RN 1 stated Resident 1's care plan must
be specific to Resident 1 and since belzutifan was not indicated on Resident 1's care plan, facility staff were
unaware of what to specifically monitor and identify adverse effects while Resident 1 was taking belzutifan.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/14/2025 at 3:49 PM with RN 1, the Belzutifan drug
manufacturer's website page was reviewed. RN 1 stated belzutifan may cause serious side effects,
including anemia (a condition in which there is a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells (RBCs) or
hemoglobin in the blood) and hypoxemia (condition where there is an abnormally low level of oxygen in the
blood). RN 1 stated the web page indicated the person receiving belzutifan who experiences symptoms of
anemia or hypoxemia should inform the health care provider or get medical help right away. RN 1 added the
web page indicated belzutifan can cause low oxygen levels in [the] body that can be severe and may
require [the resident] to stop treatment. RN 1 stated that these adverse effects should be included in the
care plan so that staff are aware. During an interview on 8/15/2025 at 3:17 PM with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated resident's care plans should be complete and individualized. The DON stated the
care plan must include in must include resident-specific interventions, including prescribed medications.
The DON stated belzutifan should be indicated in Resident 1's care plan. The DON stated a that any
potential adverse effects of the medication should be noted in the care plan to ensure staff are aware and
can monitor for associated signs and symptoms. During a telephone interview conducted on 8/27/2025, at
10:32 AM, Oncologist 1 stated that belzutifan can cause adverse effects such as hypoxemia and anemia.
Oncologist 1 reported that Belzutifan was discontinued due to Resident 1's hypoxic condition upon arrival at
the oncology clinic on 7/25/2025. Oncologist 1 indicated that prior to Resident 1's oncology visit on
7/25/2025, the facility had not informed Oncologist 1 of Resident 1's increased need for supplemental
oxygen. Oncologist 1 added that if Resident 1 had continued receiving belzutifan , Resident 1 was already
in a hypoxic state and could have required increased and prolonged supplemental oxygen support. During
a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Comprehensive Plan of Care, dated 12/2016,
indicated the comprehensive care plan must describe services that are provided to the resident to attain or
maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. The P&P
indicated the care plan will include treatment goals with measurable objectives, interventions to prevent
avoidable decline in function or

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide necessary care and services for
one (1) of three (3) sampled residents (Resident 1) who had a diagnosis of cancer (a disease characterized
by the uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells). Specifically, the facility failed to coordinate
services related to the care and medication management of Resident 1's cancer, including monitoring for
adverse effects and toxicity associated with the administration of Belzutifan (a cancer treatment medication,
known to carry risks of anemia [a condition in which the blood lacks sufficient healthy red blood cells to
carry adequate oxygen to the body's organs and tissues, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness,
and shortness of breath]) and hypoxemia (an abnormal condition characterized by insufficient oxygen
supply to the body's tissues). The facility failed to ensure that Resident 1's care was coordinated in
accordance with the treatment plans established by Oncologist 1, a physician specializing in cancer
treatment. The following deficiencies were identified: Failure to monitor for adverse effects or toxicity
associated with Belzutifan, including anemia and hypoxemia. Failure to ensure that the Interdisciplinary
Team (IDT) addressed Resident 1's cancer diagnosis, cancer medication management, or coordination of
care with the resident's oncologist during the IDT care conference held on 5/13/2025. Failure to notify or
consult Oncologist 1 when Resident 1 experienced a change in condition (CIC) on 6/30/2025, with oxygen
saturation dropping to 85%, requiring supplemental oxygen. Failure to communicate abnormal blood work
results dated 6/19/2025, and 6/11/2025, to Oncologist 1 for review and appropriate follow-up. Failure to
ensure that facility staff followed physician orders and scope-of-practice guidelines for the administration of
supplemental oxygen for Resident 1, in accordance with the physician's order, which required oxygen to be
given only when the resident's oxygen saturation fell below 92%. Failure to reassess the appropriateness of
continuing Belzutifan after Resident 1 was hospitalized on [DATE], for acute hypoxic respiratory failure (a
sudden inability of the lungs to adequately oxygenate the blood, resulting in low blood oxygen levels) and
readmitted to the facility on [DATE], where the medication was continued without documented guidance or
monitoring protocols. These failures placed Resident 1 at risk for continued exposure to potentially harmful
medication effects without appropriate clinical oversight and represent a lack of coordination and
individualized care planning in accordance with professional standards and physician directives. ? During a
review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the resident was originally admitted on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included left kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer,
chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD, lung disease causing restricted airflow and breathing
problems), and heart disease (a range of conditions that affect the heart).??The AR indicated that Family
Member (FM) 1 is Resident 1's responsible party. During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical
(H&P), dated 5/1/2025, the H&P indicated the resident has a diagnosis of left kidney cancer and liver
cancer. The H&P indicated that the resident does not have the capacity to understand and make
decisions.? ? During a review of Resident 1's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment
tool), dated 5/8/2025, the MDS indicated that the resident did not require oxygen therapy on admission.? ?
During a review of Resident 1's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated that the resident has moderately
impaired cognition (the ability to process thoughts). ? ? During a review of Resident 1's laboratory (lab)
results in the facility, the lab results, dated 4/22/2025, the lab results indicated Resident 1's hemoglobin
