The plan states the laboratory values will be monitored for the resident through the next review. The facility is to obtain labs as ordered by the physician to assess baseline lab values and follow up to determine changes in condition. A review of Resident 3's orders revealed the following order: obtain ammonia level on 3/2/25.

Another ammonia level was ordered on 5/23/25 and to be obtained every six months in January and July. The lab reported the facility cancelled the lab order on 7/11/25. No ammonia level was obtained for the July order. The ammonia level was ordered for 10/1/25 but was rejected by the lab due to the bag the sample being damaged in transit.

The staff views the lab book while working their shift to know which resident to look up results in the lab portal. The nurse manager or floor nurse calls the resident's provider with the lab results and obtains any new orders as needed.
