Nursing failed to develop a plan of care to address ongoing assessment of the resident's affected limb. Nursing further failed to assess the resident after the resident complained of pain in her leg to certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and an occupational therapist (OT). Nursing also failed to notify the resident's physician of the change in her condition. These deficient practices resulted in Resident A developing a second blood clot in her leg, causing ischemia (restricted blood flow) to the leg leading to irreversible death of the tissue. Resident A declined amputation of her leg and ultimately died in the hospital 6 days later, having suffered extreme pain from the ischemic limb. Findings: Resident A was originally admitted to the facility on 11/7/17, from the hospital, with diagnoses to include unspecified atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rate that may lead to blood clots), and generalized muscle weakness, per the Admission Record. According to the Minimum Data Set Assessment (a comprehensive assessment of the resident's functional capabilities), completed for Resident A on 12/11/17, Resident A scored 15 on her mental status assessment, indicating the resident was independent in her decision making. Per the same assessment, the resident's goal was to be discharged to her assisted living facility.

Examination of the patient in the Emergency Department revealed, "a cold and mottled (marked with spots or blotches) left leg." After a CT angiogram, (a technique used to look at blood vessels throughout the body), Resident A was diagnosed with an "intravascular thrombus in the distal left superficial femoral artery" (a blood clot in the main artery supplying blood to the lower limb). Resident A was admitted to the hospital for treatment of the affected limb. According to the Internal Medicine Progress Note, dated 12/3/17, Resident A underwent a procedure to dissolve and remove the blood clot and treatment with heparin, followed by Coumadin (medications to prevent the formation of further clots). The physician's plan for the resident was to return to the SNF for further rehab. (therapy) and to continue with the Coumadin. Resident A was transferred back to the facility on 12/4/17 with orders from the hospital. The orders included medications and treatments the physician wanted the resident to continue to receive at the facility. Included on the transfer medication orders was an order for, " Warfarin (Coumadin) - pharmacy to dose," indicating pharmacy would monitor results of blood tests to determine the resident's blood clotting time, and adjust the amount of Coumadin the resident should receive accordingly. Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) completed the Nursing Readmisson Data Collection when Resident A returned to the facility.

LN 1 documented, "Verified all orders with (name of the resident's physician). Faxed med list to pharmacy." There was an unsigned handwritten note under the order for the Coumadin which read, "MD to dose Warfarin per RX" (according to the pharmacy, the physician was to prescribe the Coumadin dose). There was no documentation to show LN 1 told the resident's physician (MD 1) the pharmacy would not manage Resident A's Coumadin orders and MD 1 would be responsible for ordering the Coumadin. MD 1's orders included an order for nursing to monitor, "Scattered ecchymosis (bruising) to LLE (left lower leg), notify MD if s/s (signs and symptoms) of complications noted every shift." This order was written on the resident's Treatment Administration Record. Nursing did not develop a care plan on admission to address ongoing assessment of the resident's left leg, related to the diagnosis of left lower leg arterial occlusion or the bruising. Nursing did not develop a care plan for monitoring for the administration or side effects of Coumadin. MD 1 made a follow-up visit to the resident on 12/5/17. According to MD 1's documentation on the Continuing Care Nursing Home History and Physical, the resident was readmitted to the facility for rehabilitation.

Nursing initialed the Treatment Administration Record for Resident A to show they were monitoring the bruising on the resident's left lower leg; however, nursing did not document any further assessment of Resident 1's left leg until 12/10/17. At that time, LN 2 documented on the Daily Skilled Note, "LLE arterial occlusions with no complications noted." LN 2 checked the box on the note to indicate Resident A's left pedal pulses were palpable (a pulse on the top of the resident's left foot could be felt, indicating arterial blood was flowing to the resident's foot). On 12/11/17 at 12:09 P.M., LN 3 completed a Daily Skilled Note but failed to document an assessment of Resident A's pedal pulses or her left lower leg. On 12/12/17, according to the occupational therapist's Daily Treatment Encounter notes, Resident A complained of, "Pain in knee and foot. Pt. (resident) participated in manual massage for pain management in order for pt. to ambulate and participate in therapy." There was no documentation to show nursing assessed Resident A for the complaint of pain in her leg while she was in therapy. The next Daily Skilled Note was initiated, but not completed, on 12/12/17 at 2:41 P.M. The section for assessing pedal pulses and pain were both left blank.

Per the same documentation, MD 1 saw the resident who was then transferred to the Emergency Department for evaluation. According to the hospital's Emergency Record, dated 12/13/17, Resident A had a cool, pulseless, mottled left lower extremity with delayed capillary refill (indicating impaired blood flow to the toes). Resident A complained of significant left leg pain and received IV morphine sulfate (narcotic pain medication administered directly into a vein), for pain relief. According to the hospital's Admission History and Physical notes, Resident A told the physician she had been experiencing left lower leg pain for 1 -2 days and had been unable to sleep the previous night due to pain. The hospital physician noted there was no record of the resident receiving anticoagulation since 12/4/17 when she was discharged to the facility. Resident A was admitted to the ICU (intensive care unit) for treatment. Unsuccessful attempts were made to reestablish blood flow to the affected limb. According to documentation on the Palliative Care Progress Note, (care that is aimed at relieving the symptoms of severe illness), dated 12/18/17, Resident A's chief complaint at that time was, "Severe left lower extremity pain" requiring, "escalating doses of oral morphine which have not been effective." Resident A also received hydromorphone (narcotic pain medication), "which slightly helped the pain, but did not fully alleviate (resolve) it." Resident A told the physician, "She would rather be sleeping all the time and in no pain/suffering rather than continuing to be awake and alert having such severe pain."

Resident A remained in the hospital until 12/19/17 when she died at 7:02 A.M. The cause of death listed on the Death Summary, dated 12/19/17, was left lower extremity limb ischemia. MD 1 was interviewed on 12/15/17 at 3:45 P.M. and again on 1/18/18 at 1:20 P.M. MD 1 stated when Resident A was readmitted to the facility on 12/4/17, he thought pharmacy was ordering the lab tests and Resident A's Coumadin dosing, based on the test results. MD 1 said when he visited the resident the morning after she was admitted, the Coumadin order was not in the computer-based system but it was not unusual for the orders to be entered later in the day. MD 1 stated he expected nursing to call him if the pharmacy was not doing the Coumadin dosing. CNA 1 was interviewed on 1/19/18 at 1:41 P.M. CNA 1 said he was working on 12/9/17 when the resident complained of, "leg pain specifically." CNA 1 said he put the resident back to bed, elevated her leg on a pillow and reported the resident's complaint to LN 4. CNA 1 said LN 4's response was, "I already gave her medication." There was no documentation on the MAR to show Resident 1 received any pain medication on 12/9/17. There was no documentation in the nursing notes to show LN 4 assessed the resident for the cause of her pain. CNA 2 was interviewed on 1/18/18 at 1:41 P.M. CNA 2 stated Resident A twice complained to him of pain and asked to see the nurse on 12/12/17. CNA 2 said he told LN 4 who said, "I already gave her everything, she has to wait."

OT 1 said Resident A was very motivated with her therapy because she wanted to go home. OT 1 said during therapy on 12/12/17, Resident A complained of a tingling pain in her left foot. The OT said she removed the resident's socks and rubbed the resident's big toe and ankle, which seemed to relieve her pain. OT 1 said during therapy in the morning, she did not notice any change in temperature of the resident's leg. According to OT 1, later in the day at about 3 P.M., she answered Resident A's call light and found the resident, "vigorously rubbing" her left leg. Per OT 1, Resident A complained of, "excruciating" pain at 9/10 and when the OT felt the resident's foot it, "Felt like I was touching an ice cube" (indicating possible severe restriction of arterial blood flow). OT 1 said she also noticed a bruise on the resident's inner ankle. According to OT 1, the resident said she wanted to talk to her physician (MD 1), but he was gone for the day. OT 1 said she reported her observations to the licensed nurse LN 4 who, "Brushed it off and said the resident had poor circulation." OT 1 said, "She didn't seem to be too bothered about it." OT 1 said she did not report her concerns to anyone else and went home. According to documentation on the MAR, LN 4 administered 650 milligrams of Tylenol to Resident 1 for, "c/o (complaint of) achy pain generalized pain" on 12/12/17 at 6:55 P.M., approximately four hours after OT 1 said she reported to her Resident A was complaining of "excruciating" pain in her leg.

LN 5 failed to document an assessment of the resident's leg to determine the cause of the resident's pain. OT 1 was interviewed on 2/13/18 at 12:35 P.M. OT 1 said she went to Resident A's room at 8 A.M. on 12/13/17. The OT said at that time, Resident A's leg was mottled and, "Her leg didn't look good." OT 1 said she then reported her concerns to LN 6 who went in to see the resident. OT 1 said since the incident she had been told she should have completed a Stop and Watch Early Warning Tool on 12/12/17, (a form available to staff to report any identified change to nursing, which would prompt nursing to assess the change in the resident's condition), but at the time, she did not know about the form, so she failed to complete one. LN 6 was interviewed on 1/2/18 at 3 P.M., and again on 2/13/18 at 1:15 P.M. LN 6 said on 12/13/18, she went in to see Resident A in the morning. According to LN 6, Resident A was very upset and, "Mad at me because she had been waiting to see the doctor and she had complained of leg pain to the nurse the previous day." LN 6 said she assessed Resident A's leg which was cold to the touch and added she could not detect a pedal pulse. At that time, LN 6 said she reported her assessment findings to her supervisor, LN 3. LN 6 also said she would have expected nursing to have developed a care plan for Resident A on admission to address potential problems that could arise from the development of a second blood clot in the resident's leg.

LN 3 said she was the supervisor on duty on 12/13/18 when LN 6 reported her concerns about Resident A's leg. LN 3 said she assessed Resident A's leg and noted it was cold with no detectable pulse in her foot. LN 3 said Resident A was very upset, had pain rated at 8 out of 10 and wanted to see her physician. LN 3 said she notified the resident's physician who gave orders for the resident to be transferred to the hospital. LN 3 said the night shift nursing staff were responsible for double checking the orders of new residents admitted that day. LN 3 said it would appear the night shift staff did not verify Resident A's Coumadin was ordered nor did they develop a care plan to address the resident's arterial blood clot. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was interviewed on 2/13/18 at 1:45 P.M. According to the ADON, the nurses used a Clinical Admission Checklist to assist them in completing all the requirements for new admissions. Prompts on the checklist included for nursing to verify physician's orders and compare them with orders from the discharging hospital, and to initiate care plans. The DON stated the night shift staff were supposed to verify all the areas were completed for each new resident. The following morning, the IDT (an interdisciplinary team with representation from various departments providing care to the residents)) would review the checklist at the morning meeting.
