3:41 p.m. and ordered a Stat (Immediately) Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential and a
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP). ( A CBC with differential measures the number and types of blood
cells, including white blood cell subtypes. A CMP assesses various substances in the blood related to
metabolism, liver, and kidney function - including potassium). The APRN said she couldn't say which nurse
sent the text. The APRN said the order was never documented or carried out.
Residents Affected - Few
On 4/30/25 at 12:26 p.m., in an interview the Interim Director of Nursing (DON) explained each unit has
their own telephone to contact the provider via text. She said when the provider responds, staff are
supposed to follow up with what the provider ordered and the order should be entered into the electronic
health record. The DON reviewed the phone for Resident #92's unit. She found the same text to the APRN
dated 12/23/24.
Photographic evidence obtained.
The DON verified the text message included an order for Stat lab work. The DON reviewed the Electronic
Health Record and did not find an order for stat lab work for 12/23/24. She did not find any progress notes
or documentation of Resident #92's condition or contact with the APRN for 12/23/24. DON said a Stat order
should be documented and acted on immediately. She said the nurse assigned to the patient that day had
been an agency nurse and hadn't worked at the facility since January. The DON said there is a double
check of orders when entered into the electronic health record, but she was not sure if there was any
double check of the phone to ensure texted orders were not missed. The DON said they had been
discussing moving away from the text system for orders.
On 5/1/25 10:05 a.m., in an interview the interim DON said at this time there was no policy and procedure
for medication orders as far as written, verbal, telephone or text. She said this was something they will need
to look into.
