facility failed to obtain orders to administer
Coumadin (a blood thinner to help prevent the
formation of blood clots), to 1 sampled
Resident (A) for 9 days following hospitalization
for the treatment of a blood clot in her left leg.
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.

11/23/17, after she experienced fatigue and
shortness of breath while ambulating with staff
at the facility, according to the
Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine Admission
Note. 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. According
to the documentation, Resident A was alert to
person, time and the situation. LN 1

documented in the Narrative Summary,
Resident A had a diagnosis of left lower leg
arterial occlusion (blockage). 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. MD 1 documented

Coumadin was not added to the resident's
scheduled medications for nursing to
administer.
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

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." Per the same note,

Resident A declined amputation of the limb,
choosing to focus on comfort. 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."

The Occupational Therapist (OT 1) was
interviewed on 2/13/18 at 12:35 P.M. 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

"excruciating" pain in her leg. LN 4 failed to
document any assessment of the resident's left
leg after the OT's report to her earlier in the
evening.

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

Resident A's leg was mottled and, "Her leg
didn't look good." OT 1 said she then reported

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

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

plan should include, palpating for a pedal
pulse, assessing for pain and temperature of

prescribed to prevent further clots, and
notifying the physician of any changes. LN 6
said nursing should have been assessing the

LN 3 was interviewed on 2/13/18 at 1:25 P.M.
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

rehabilitation on 12/4/17 after hospitalization
and treatment for a blood clot in her left leg.
The resident had a diagnosis of atrial
fibrillation, which increased her risk for
developing blood clots. The hospital physician
discharged the resident with orders for
Coumadin to prevent further clots. The facility
failed to implement the plan of care and obtain
orders from the resident's physician for the
Coumadin and the resident went 9 days without
the anticoagulation medicine. Nursing also
failed to develop a care plan to monitor for
potential blood clots in the resident's leg, and
failed to assess and notify the physician when
the resident complained of excruciating pain in
her leg.
