Resident #58's vitals should be taken before and after dialysis per orders. Staff C stated that it should be
documented in his dialysis book and also in the TAR.
On 12/22/21 at 10:11 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON
stated she became aware after surveyor spoke with her that Resident #58's post dialysis care was not
documented. The DON said, I know, if it is not documented it did not happen. The DON stated she had
reviewed the policy of documentation and started the in-service on medication administration omissions.
The DON stated she was still investigating why Resident #58 did not get his morning medications. The
DON stated the post dialysis vitals must be documented in the book. The DON said, The nurses should be
checking the bruit and documenting. The monitoring should be documented. The DON stated the nurses
should call the doctor with any concerns.
On 12/22/21 at 02:19 PM an interview was conducted with Staff C, LPN. Staff C, LPN stated Resident #58
did not get his morning medications on the dialysis days because he was out of the building. Staff C stated
that if Resident #58 is out of the building, I just click out of the building. Staff C stated Resident #58 is at
dialysis and not here to take the 8:30 a.m. medications. Staff C said, He misses, all his meds because he
leaves around 4 a.m. Staff C stated the medications are not sent with him, and he does not get them when

missing his medications. Staff C stated I'm not sure what I can do when he is not here.

have a dialysis resident that will not be here during med time, we get a physician order to hold or change
the administration times to when the resident is in the building. The DON stated the expectation would be to
call the doctor and let him know that Resident #58 was not receiving his medications. The DON stated the
doctor had not been notified. The DON stated she also had not been notified that Resident #58 was
missing his morning medications on dialysis days. The DON said, No, residents should not go without

morning meds are not given, once the patient comes back from dialysis, they should be administered. The
ARNP stated she and the doctor had not been notified the resident was going without the medications. The
ARNP stated the expectation would be to notify the doctor if a resident did not receive their medications.
The ARNP stated the process would be to give an order to administer medications after the resident
returned or hold the medications. The ARNP stated there were no current orders to adjust hours or hold
medications for Resident #58 because the doctor's office was not notified.
Review of Resident #58's progress notes for November/December 2021 showed no documentation related
to missed post dialysis care, missed medications or communication with the doctor.
Review of the facility's policy titled, Nursing - Care of the Resident Receiving Dialysis, with an effective date

the arteriovenous shunt, prevent complications such as infections bleeding and trauma, and identify specific

Sinemet is an oral medicine and has to be taken at least an hour before or two hours after food in empty
stomach. The drug has to be swallowed only and not chewed or broken. This is because Sinemet is a slow
releasing tablet. https://www.sinemet.org.
On 12/22/2021 at 10:00 a.m. an interview was conducted with RND he indicated at that time he was
unaware that Sinemet, and delayed release medications were not to be crushed.
