Compliance Guidelines: The facility must inform the resident, consult with the resident's physician and/or notify the resident's family member or legal representative when there is a change requiring such notification. Circumstances requiring notification include: Clinical complications. Additional considerations: 1. Competent individuals: a. The facility must still contact the resident's physician and notify residents representative, if known. c. When a resident is mentally competent, such a designated family member should be notified of significant changes in the resident's health status because the resident may not be able to notify them personally.

I saw him a couple of days prior to him going out. I had just gotten notification from the nurses that he had again refused his insulin. I told him that his wound would not heal. They definitely would notify me. Maybe they didn't document it. I had quite a few conversations. They would call me after he refused. Any time they give a higher dose, they spoke with me. I don't typically have a concern regarding notification of refusal of medications. They notify me pretty often. I am in constant contact with the DON and the unit managers, and the wound care nurse.
