Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility neglected to ensure nurses implemented physician's orders for
diagnostic testing, failed to notify the physician of any changes of status including refusal of care, and
neglected to ensure the resident received the provision of necessary care and services; additionally, the
facility failed to complete a thorough investigation for possible neglect for 1 of 6 residents reviewed for
neglect, of a total sample of 6 residents, (#1).
On [DATE], resident #1 was admitted to the facility from the hospital. On [DATE], the resident was
re-hospitalized and required mechanical ventilation (life support to breathe) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
due to critically low blood pressure and septic shock from a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Sepsis is when
your body's immune system has a dangerous response to an infection. It is a medical emergency that can
be caused by many different kinds of infections. The quicker you receive treatment, the better your outcome
will be. Septic shock can occur when an infection in your body causes extremely low blood pressure and
organ failure due to sepsis. Septic shock is life-threatening and requires immediate medical treatment. It's
the most severe stage of sepsis, (retrieved on [DATE] from www.clevelandclinic.org).
Resident #1 was hospitalized for more than two weeks and was discharged from the hospital to another
long term care facility on [DATE] for continued recovery and therapy. On [DATE], facility licensed nurses did
not implement the physician's orders for urine diagnostic testing that could have detected infection,
prevented complications/ worsening of the condition, and mitigated the risk of serious
injury/impairment/death. Nurses never notified the resident's physicians/providers the test was not
performed as ordered. The resident's primary care providers did not recognize test results were missing;
and did not request results or re-order testing. Six days later, on Wednesday, [DATE] at approximately 3:45
PM, the resident was found by his family cold, clammy, and unresponsive. Nurses assessed the resident
with significantly lower blood pressure than his normal readings and contacted the Physician's Assistant
(PA) who ordered STAT (without delay) laboratory testing, and Intravenous (IV) fluids. At the resident's
family's insistence for emergency treatment, nurses again contacted the PA and obtained orders to
transport the resident to the hospital via 911 Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
The facility's failure to implement physician's orders for diagnostic testing, notify the physician, recognize
diagnostic testing results were missing, and to provide necessary care and services contributed to the
destabilization of resident #1's medical conditions and placed all residents at risk for neglect and serious
injury/impairment/death. For two weeks, the facility was unaware resident #1's test results had not been
completed until [DATE], when the resident's wife called to request them, after he was re-hospitalized . This
failure resulted in Immediate Jeopardy which began on [DATE].

Residents Affected - Few
Review of the medical records revealed resident #1, a [AGE] year old male was admitted to the facility from
an acute care hospital on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis (paralysis)
following cerebral infarction (stroke), type 2 diabetes mellitus with polyneuropathy
(weakness/numbness/burning), hypertension (high blood pressure), right bundle branch (heart signal)
block, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), cognitive communication deficit, hearing loss, dysarthria and
anarthria (slow/slurred speech).
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Comprehensive admission Assessment with an Assessment Reference
Date (ARD) of [DATE] noted during the look-back period, resident #1 scored 12 out of 15 on the Brief
Interview for Mental Status that indicated he was moderately cognitively impaired. The assessment showed
the resident did not have any behavioral symptoms or rejections of evaluations or care necessary for goals
to achieve health and well-being, he had upper and lower extremity (arms/legs) functional Range of Motion
limitations, used a wheelchair, was dependent on staff for assistance to complete Activities of Daily Living
and mobility, was always incontinent of bladder and bowel functioning, and difficulty swallowing. The MDS
Unplanned Discharge Assessment with an ARD of [DATE] noted during the look-back period, resident #1
did not have any behavioral symptoms or rejections of evaluations or care necessary for goals to achieve
health and well-being.
Resident #1 had care plans related to impaired functional abilities ([DATE], revised [DATE]); altered
metabolism related to type 2 diabetes mellitus and medication use ([DATE]); risk for falls/requires staff
assistance for transfers ([DATE], revised [DATE]); potential nutritional problems ([DATE]); and potential skin
integrity alteration ([DATE], revised [DATE]). On [DATE], a care plan for alteration of urinary elimination as
evidenced by incontinence was initiated. Interventions included for nurses to monitor and document signs
and symptoms of UTI. The Comprehensive Care Plan did not detail behaviors including refusals of
care/treatments, or non-compliance.
A nurse's Progress Note dated [DATE] at 2:33 PM, revealed resident #1 had red-tinged urine during the
previous night. A note dated [DATE] at 8:23 AM, indicated the resident rolled out of bed onto the floor and
required two staff to be assisted off the floor and back to bed.
The Order Summary Report for [DATE] included a physician's order dated [DATE] for Urinalysis/Urine
Culture (UA/CS). The order was marked as completed on [DATE]. On [DATE] the physician ordered Tylenol
650 milligrams (MG) every six hours as needed for pain, and on [DATE] Tramadol 50 MG, an opiate pain
medication, was added for pain every eight hours. On [DATE] Tylenol 650 MG was added for fever over
100.0 degrees Fahrenheit (F).
A urine sample should be provided for both a urinalysis and culture test (UA/CS). Your physician might
order the urinalysis initially to look for blood cells and bacteria in the urine that can indicate an infection. If
it's positive your provider would order a urine culture to grow microorganisms and identify the specific
bacteria or fungus causing the infection, (retrieved on [DATE] from www.clevelandclinic.org.
Further review of the medical record revealed a physician's order on [DATE] to send resident #1 to the
emergency room (ER) for evaluation and treatment for blood pressure of 85/50, diaphoresis (excessive
sweating), and slow to respond to verbal commands per family request.

On [DATE] at 10:23 AM, in a telephone interview, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C explained a Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA) informed her blood tinged urine was observed in resident #1's incontinence brief,
so she obtained physician orders for the UA/CS. LPN C said she entered the UA/CS orders in to the
computer system on [DATE] during the 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM shift and later passed on the information to
LPN D for the oncoming 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift. She said the normal process was that after orders were
processed, a printed copy of the order was placed in a binder at the nurses' station for the specimen bag
but could not recall if she had done that.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for [DATE] revealed a physician's order dated
[DATE] for Urinalysis/Urine Culture was signed as completed by LPN A on [DATE] at 5:20 AM. A week later
on [DATE] at 10:11 AM, LPN D documentation revealed resident #1 was administered Tylenol for a
temperature of 100.2 F and at 1:43 PM, he was administered Tramadol for pain.
On [DATE] at 3:11 PM, in a telephone interview, LPN A recalled on [DATE] during the 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM
shift, resident #1 had an order pending completion for a UA/CS. The nurse remembered she attempted to
collect a specimen in the early morning hours of [DATE] and was unable, so she re-attempted
unsuccessfully later in the shift. She said she marked, refused on the MAR but did not complete a progress
note nor contact the physician. She could not recall if she passed on the information to the oncoming 7:00
AM to 3:00 PM nurse. She explained in early April, she was informed by the Director of Nursing (DON) that
the resident's wife had called for the UA/CS results and the facility found the test was marked in the MAR
as completed but it was never done. The LPN said the facility's normal practice was for night shift to obtain
labs, but it was difficult to get urine specimens overnight or in the early morning when residents were
sleeping. She acknowledged she should have written a progress note to document the refusal and
contacted the physician. LPN A confirmed when a resident refused a procedure she should promptly notify
the DON and the physician.
Review of resident #1's medical record revealed there were no nursing progress notes documented on
[DATE] by LPN A regarding the physician's order for the UA/CS not being performed, nor that the physician
or anyone else was notified the test was not done.
On [DATE] at 10:31 AM, LPN D recalled she cared for resident #1 many times during his stay including on
the 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift on [DATE]. The nurse explained earlier in the shift on [DATE], the resident had
a fever, so she called the PA who gave her orders for routine labs and Tylenol. She said at approximately
2:00 PM, the resident complained of pain and was administered Tramadol, and approximately a half hour
later when the family arrived to visit, she re-checked the resident, and he was, lethargic
(fatigue/sluggishness). LPN D stated she called the PA again who gave orders for STAT labs and IV fluids,
but the family did not want to wait and were adamant about the resident going to the hospital immediately.
The PA was called again, and orders were given to send the resident out to the ER via 911/EMS.
Review of nurse's Progress Notes completed by LPN D documented on [DATE] at 10:11 AM, resident #1
had a temperature of 100.2 F. The attending physician was notified, and orders were obtained for Tylenol
650 MG and routine orders were obtained from the PA for laboratory testing. Later at 1:45 PM, the resident
complained of left hip pain and was administered the pain medication Tramadol 50 MG.
A nurse's Progress Note documented by LPN D on [DATE] at 3:45 PM, noted resident #1's wife and
daughter were at the facility visiting and the resident was observed as slow to respond to verbal and touch
stimulation, had dilated pupils, and sweaty/clammy skin. The resident's vital signs were assessed and
measured with a blood pressure of 85 systolic and 50 diastolic millimeters of mercury (mmHg),

and heart rate of 90 beats per minute. The Unit Manager contacted the PA who ordered STAT laboratory
tests and IV fluids. The resident's daughter requested the resident be sent to the emergency room and the
PA was contacted for orders. LPN D's note dated [DATE] at 4:24 PM, documented resident #1 left the
facility by stretcher at 4:25 PM, with EMS to go to the hospital.
On [DATE] at 10:16 AM, the North Unit Manager (UM) recalled in [DATE], she was working when resident
#1 received Tramadol in the afternoon and a short time later; LPN D informed her the resident seemed
more lethargic and wasn't responding to his family who were very concerned with his change in condition.
The nurse explained the PA was called and provided orders for STAT labs and IV fluids, but the family was
not satisfied with that intervention and wanted him to go to the hospital immediately, so the PA was called
back and approved the orders for transport to the hospital. She explained that sometime later, in early
[DATE] she was informed by the DON that the resident's lab could not be found and had been signed off as
completed by a nurse. She said resident #1 had at least one family member visit every day and nurses
could have asked the family to assist in obtaining the urine if the resident was refusing. She said the Unit
Managers were responsible for checking a binder kept at the nurse's station for collection tracking and the
APRNs (Advanced Practice Registered Nurses) assisted to check for results. The Unit Manager did not
explain how or why resident #1's lab result was not done.
Review of a Situation Background Assessment Recommendations-SBAR progress note completed by the
North UM on [DATE] at 4:53 PM, revealed, at 2 PM, nurse on unit administered Tramadol 50 MG po (by
mouth) for pain x 1 dose. Resident eyes were dilated, slow to respond to verbal commands and diaphoretic
at 1550 (3:50 PM). Temperature 100.2 this AM with complaints of sore throat. Throat was pink, and moist
with no patchy areas noted. The North UM documented the resident 's vital signs were blood pressure of
85/50, heart rate of 90, respirations of 19, blood sugar of 159, and temporal temperature of 97.5 F. She
noted resident #1 had excessive sweating on the trunk of his body. She said the PA ordered IV fluids,
Normal Saline, get STAT labs for UA, C/S, a complete blood count with differential and a basic metabolic
panel. The UM documented that the wife and daughter adamantly requested for him to go to hospital.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 10:37 AM, the PA explained she regularly came to the facility to see
residents and as part of her assessments, she reviewed orders, labs, medications, vital signs, imaging, etc.
The PA said lab orders and results were reviewed with the UM and stated, if I couldn't find results, I will go
back and look to see when it was ordered to be collected, and if more than a day or two after it was to be
collected, I notify nursing to see if it was even collected. She recalled on [DATE], she received a call from
the North UM that resident #1 wasn't looking good and thought he either had a UTI or sepsis, so she gave
orders for STAT labs and more frequent vital sign monitoring, but a short time later was called again
because the family wanted to send him to the ER, so she gave those orders. She said she expected UA/CS
orders to be processed the same day and sent to the lab, and for nurses to notify the provider when a test
wasn't completed. She could not recall the facility informing her resident #1's order for UA/CS from [DATE]
was not ever done. The PA stated, they [residents] can become septic, and we don't know the source of the
infection; we have to treat them emergently.
Review of Progress Notes completed by the PA dated [DATE] and [DATE], after the physician's diagnostic
testing was ordered included documentation the resident was seen at the request of staff for a follow-up
visit. Both notes indicated, Patient's labs/diagnostics and care provider notes reviewed .
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:59 AM, resident #1's wife recalled on [DATE], the family

received a voicemail from the resident who stated he wasn't feeling well. She explained she and her
daughter came to the facility, they observed him and described his condition as, cold, sweaty, clammy, and
non-responsive. She said her daughter was a paramedic and believed he was in distress, possibly septic
shock. She said nurses called the physician who ordered labs, but the family was very concerned he
needed emergent care and insisted he be sent to the ER immediately, so 911 was initiated. She said she
believed her husband would have died had they not been there and insisted he go immediately. She said
she later requested the UA results from the facility and learned they were never done. She recalled the
experience was very stressful, her family was distraught during the crisis and thought they may lose their
loved one. She said her husband required a breathing machine and ICU care at the hospital for over two
weeks. Resident #1's wife said he had to go to another facility to recover with continued therapy and
nursing care. The resident's wife stated, looking back, he had no energy and would fall back like a ragdoll;
no wonder he had no energy; he wasn't like that before; even now, he has gone down a lot.
In a joint interview with the DON and Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on [DATE] at 1:05 PM, the DON
recalled on [DATE], the facility received a call from resident #1's wife who requested the UA/CS results from
during his stay at the facility. The DON said after checking the medical records, she found the test was
never done and LPN A had documented on the MAR that it was completed on [DATE]. She explained the
facility initiated a grievance and found through interview with LPN A she attempted to obtain a specimen
twice on [DATE], and the resident refused but she did not inform the physician, nursing management, nor
complete a progress note. The DON said resident #1 did not return to the facility after he was sent to the
hospital on [DATE], so the facility did not further investigate the reason for re-hospitalization. On [DATE] at
11:15 AM, the DON explained she believed resident #1 was hospitalized for something infection based and
stated, I do believe it was UTI for his admitting diagnosis into the hospital. The DON recalled she spoke with
resident #1's daughter on approximately [DATE] and was informed the resident was not returning to the
facility. The DON said the facility did not consider requesting the hospital records to see if the adverse
incident may have contributed to resident #1's re-hospitalization. She explained the facility's investigation
revealed when the nurse signed the order as completed it fell off the record and stated, It's the Unit
Manager or designee's responsibility to follow up on ordered lab results.
On [DATE] at 12:14 PM, the facility's Grievance Officer checked her records and recalled on [DATE], the
NHA received a call from resident #1's wife and daughter concerning lab collection for a UA and customer
service. She said an investigation was completed and the facility found LPN A documented the test was
completed on [DATE] when in fact it was never done. She said the facility made the family aware of the
investigation results and interventions.
In a joint interview with the NHA, DON and Risk Manager, on [DATE] at 1:52 PM, the Risk Manager
recalled the facility conducted an investigation that started [DATE], after resident #1's wife called for test
results. She said the investigation revealed nurses had not implemented the physician's order nor notified
the physician. When asked what the facility considered resident neglect to be, the Risk Manager stated,
Neglect is not providing goods and services; goods and services did not occur because they did not provide
the UA. The NHA, DON, and Risk Manager did not explain why the facility had not reported possible
neglect to the State Agency (SA) when they realized the ordered lab was not done. On [DATE] at
approximately 2:00 PM, the NHA said the facility had submitted a Facility Reported Incident regarding
neglect to the SA after it was brought to their attention during the survey.
On [DATE] at 10:11 AM, in a telephone interview, resident #1's attending physician recalled resident #1
after reviewing his notes. He remembered a UA/CS was ordered on [DATE] for blood in the urine.

The physician said he expected his orders to be completed by nurses or to notify him if they were unable to
fulfill the order so he could decide what should be done as a next step. He confirmed he was told recently
as to what happened regarding resident #1 not getting the ordered urine testing and stated, undetected UTI
can lead to sepsis; in this case that is what happened.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 10:53 AM, the facility's Medical Director said he was aware of the
incident concerning resident #1's hospitalization and he knew the provider was not notified the lab tests
were not performed hence the missing test results. The physician explained that he expected nurses to
notify providers when they were unable to collect specimens and stated, unidentified UTI can lead to
sepsis.
Review of resident #1's hospital records from [DATE] showed during transport to the hospital EMS
personnel used a Bag-Valve Mask to manually maintain resident #1's breathing until they arrived at the ER
at approximately 4:30 PM. After resident #1 arrived at the ER, life sustaining measures were immediately
implemented including insertion of an endotracheal airway (breathing tube), respiratory ventilation
(breathing by machine), insertion of vena cava (heart) infusion IV device, and irrigation (flushing) of the
genitourinary tract (genital tract in/out of bladder) due to severe sepsis. The resident required IV
medications to stabilize his blood pressure and IV antibiotics for UTI and septicemia (blood infection) and
was transferred to the ICU. The ICU physician's note read, Upon my evaluation, this patient has high
probability of imminent, life-threatening, or organ-threatening deterioration and I provided life/organ saving
interventions as noted above. Resident #1 required continued acute care hospitalization for more than two
weeks until he was discharged to another long term care facility on [DATE] for continued recovery. The
resident's hospital diagnoses included: critical hypotension (low blood pressure), acute (sudden onset) toxic
encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), acute hypoxemia (low blood oxygen) respiratory failure, acute tubular
necrosis (severe kidney cell damage from oxygen loss), and septic shock from UTI.
Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) ventilation is a critical life-saving technique used to provide oxygen and ventilation
to patients who are apneic (temporary breathing cessation) or experiencing severe ventilatory (provision of
air to the lungs) failure, (retrieved on [DATE] from www.medscape.com).
The facility's undated standards and guidelines titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation & Misappropriation noted
the Risk Manager/designee conducted a thorough investigation and reported possible neglect to the State
Agency as per regulatory guidelines. The document included the following definition of neglect, Neglect is
the failure of the facility, it's employees or service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that
are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional stress. Neglect occurs when the
facility is aware of or should be aware of goods and services that a resident requires, but the facility fails to
provide them to the resident resulting in or may result in physical harm.
The facility's undated standards and guidelines titled Nursing-Change in Resident's Condition or Status
noted the physician and representative were to be promptly notified of any changes in condition or status.
The procedure included nurse notifications to the attending or on-call physician when there was a refusal of
treatment.
The Facility assessment dated [DATE] noted the facility provided care and services for management of
medical conditions including, Early Identification of Problems, and provided Person-Centered Care that
included, Abuse/Neglect Prevention, and disorders of the genitourinary system.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop an individualized Comprehensive Care Plan to
include an indwelling urinary catheter for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for urinary catheters, of a total sample of
6 residents, (#3).
Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #3, an [AGE] year old female was admitted to the facility
from an acute care hospital on [DATE]. She had diagnoses that included wedge compression fracture of
thoracic (mid-spine) and lumbar (lower spine) vertebrae, and Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Comprehensive admission 5-day Assessment with an Assessment
Reference Date (ARD) of 12/13/24 noted during the look back periods, resident #3 scored 10 out of 15 on
the Brief Interview for Mental Status that indicated she was moderately cognitively impaired. The resident
required staff assistance to complete Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and the use of an indwelling urinary
catheter appliance. During the 7-day look back period, the resident required high-risk antibiotic medications.
The Care Area Assessment (CAA) Triggers dated 12/24/24 and the Comprehensive Care Plan Decisions
dated 12/25/24 included an indwelling urinary catheter.
The Order Summary Report noted resident #3 had physician's medication orders for antibiotics to treat a
UTI that included: From 12/30/24 to 12/31/24, Macrobid 100 milligrams (mg) every 12 hours, and from
12/31/24 to 1/08/25, Cipro 500 mg every 12 hours.
Review of the Nurses Progress Notes showed on 12/12/24, resident #1 was unable to urinate and required
insertion of an indwelling urinary catheter.
Review of the Care Plan Report with care plans completed 12/25/24, and revised 1/03/25 did not include a
Focus, Goal, or Interventions for an indwelling urinary catheter.
In an interview on 5/15/25 at 11:37 AM, the MDS Coordinator explained Comprehensive Care Plans were
completed with input from the Interdisciplinary Team, and the MDS department was responsible for
coordination to ensure all individualized elements were included. She checked resident #1's medical record
and said the MDS CAA was triggered for inclusion of an indwelling urinary catheter in the Comprehensive
Care Plan and acknowledged it was omitted. The MDS Coordinator stated, it was overlooked and not
placed in the care plan.
Review of the facility's standards and guidelines dated September 2024 and titled, Resident Assessment
Instrument Comprehensive Care Plan Policy noted the facility used the CAA to ensure all possible resident
care needs and risks identified during the MDS process were considered.

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable
physical well-being by failing to ensure nurses implemented physician's orders for diagnostic testing,
notified the physician, and ensured provision of necessary care and services for 1 of 6 residents reviewed
for Quality of Care, of a total sample of 6 residents, (#1).
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to implement a physician's order for Urinalysis with Culture and Sensitivity (UA/CS) for
resident #1, failed to notify the physician that the ordered diagnostic test was not completed, and failed to
follow up on the missing laboratory result. Additionally, the physician/provider did not recognize or act upon
the absence of the test result. Due to these combined failures in care coordination, resident #1's Urinary
Tract Infection (UTI) went undiagnosed and untreated, leading to the development of septic shock, a
life-threatening condition. This failure to provide necessary care and services placed the resident and other
residents in Immediate Jeopardy that began on [DATE], when the facility failed to ensure timely diagnostic
testing and appropriate medical intervention.
On [DATE], resident #1 was admitted to the facility from the hospital. Thirteen days later on [DATE], the
facility sent the resident back to the hospital where he required mechanical ventilation (life support for
breathing) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for septic shock from the UTI. Sepsis is when your body's
immune system has a dangerous response to an infection. It is a medical emergency that can be caused by
many different kinds of infections. The quicker you receive treatment, the better your outcome will be. Septic
shock can occur when an infection in your body causes extremely low blood pressure and organ failure due
to sepsis. Septic shock is life-threatening and requires immediate medical treatment. It's the most severe
stage of sepsis, (retrieved on [DATE] from www.clevelandclinic.org).
Findings:
Cross reference F600
Resident #1, a [AGE] year old male was admitted to the facility from an acute care hospital on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis (paralysis) following cerebral infarction (stroke), type 2
diabetes mellitus with polyneuropathy (weakness/numbness/burning), hypertension (high blood pressure),
right bundle branch (heart signal) block, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), cognitive communication deficit,
hearing loss, dysarthria and anarthria (slow/slurred speech).
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Comprehensive admission Assessment with an Assessment Reference
Date (ARD) of [DATE] noted during the look-back period, resident #1 scored 12 out of 15 on the Brief
Interview for Mental Status that indicated he was moderately cognitively impaired. The assessment showed
the resident did not have any behavioral symptoms or rejections of evaluations or care necessary for goals
to achieve health and well-being, he had upper and lower extremity (arms/legs) functional Range of Motion
limitations, used a wheelchair, was dependent on staff for assistance to complete Activities of Daily Living
and mobility, was always incontinent of bladder and bowel functioning, and difficulty swallowing. The MDS
Unplanned Discharge Assessment with an ARD of [DATE] noted during the look-back period, resident #1
did not have any behavioral symptoms or rejections of evaluations or care necessary for goals to achieve
health and well-being.
Resident #1 had care plans related to impaired functional abilities ([DATE], revised [DATE]);

altered metabolism related to type 2 diabetes mellitus and medication use ([DATE]); risk for falls/requires
staff assistance for transfers ([DATE], revised [DATE]); potential nutritional problems ([DATE]); and potential
skin integrity alteration ([DATE], revised [DATE]). On [DATE], a care plan for alteration of urinary elimination
as evidenced by incontinence was initiated. Interventions included for nurses to monitor and document
signs and symptoms of UTI. The Comprehensive Care Plan did not detail behaviors including refusals of
care/treatments, or non-compliance. There were no care plans for blood in urine or for an actual urinary
infection.
The Order Summary Report for [DATE] included a physician's order dated [DATE] for Urinalysis/Urine
Culture (UA/CS). The order was marked as completed on [DATE]. On [DATE] the physician ordered Tylenol
650 milligrams (MG) every six hours as needed for pain, and on [DATE] Tramadol 50 MG, an opiate pain
medication, was added for pain every eight hours. On [DATE] Tylenol 650 MG was added for fever over
100.0 degrees Fahrenheit (F).
A urine sample should be provided for both a urinalysis and culture test (UA/CS). Your physician might
order the urinalysis initially to look for blood cells and bacteria in the urine that can indicate an infection. If
it's positive your provider would order a urine culture to grow microorganisms and identify the specific
bacteria or fungus causing the infection, (retrieved on [DATE] from www.clevelandclinic.org.
On [DATE] a physician order indicated staff to send resident #1 to the emergency room (ER) for evaluation
and treatment for blood pressure of 85/50, diaphoresis (excessive sweating), and slow to respond to verbal
commands per family request.
A nurse's Progress Note dated [DATE] at 2:33 PM, revealed resident #1 had red-tinged urine during the
previous night. A note dated [DATE] at 8:23 AM, indicated the resident rolled out of bed onto the floor and
required two staff to be assisted off the floor and back to bed.
On [DATE] at 10:23 AM, in a telephone interview, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C explained she obtained
and entered UA/CS orders into the computer on [DATE] during the 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM shift after a
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) informed her blood tinged urine was observed in resident #1's
incontinence brief. The nurse recalled she later passed on the information to LPN D for the oncoming 7:00
AM to 3:00 PM shift. She said the normal process was that after orders were processed, a printed copy was
placed in a binder at the nurses station for the specimen bag, but she could not recall if she had done that,
or if the next shift did it.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed a physician's order dated [DATE] for
Urinalysis/Urine Culture was signed as completed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A on [DATE] at 5:20
AM. On [DATE] at 10:11 AM, LPN D signed that resident #1 was administered Tylenol 650 MG for a
temperature of 100.2 F and at 1:43 PM, the nurse administered Tramadol 50 MG for pain.
On [DATE] at 3:11 PM in a telephone interview, LPN A recalled on [DATE] during the 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM
shift, resident #1 had an order pending completion for a UA/CS. The nurse recalled she attempted to collect
the urine specimen in the early morning hours of [DATE] but was unable, so she tried again, unsuccessfully,
later in the shift. She said she thought she marked refused on the MAR, but confirmed she did not complete
a progress note nor contact the physician, that the lab was not collected. She did not recall if she passed on
the information to the oncoming 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift nurse. She explained in early April, she was
informed by the Director of Nursing (DON) that the resident's wife had called for the results and the facility
found the test was marked in the MAR as completed

but it was never done. The LPN said the facility's normal practice was for night shift to obtain labs and it was
difficult to get urine specimens overnight or early morning when residents were sleeping. She said she
should have written a progress note and contacted the physician and stated, I learned my lesson that when
I go do a procedure and they refuse, don't wait until the end of the shift; notify the DON and the doctor.
Review of resident #1's medical record revealed there were no nursing Progress Notes on [DATE]
completed by LPN A that documented the UA/CS physician's order was not implemented, nor that the
physician was notified.
On [DATE] at 3:50 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) B explained that nurses entered the order for the lab in the
computer by going into the documentation program and selecting the tab for labs. They would select the
test that was ordered by the physician and put in the diagnosis for the test. The nurse would notify the
resident or the family if a urine sample was needed and would try to obtain the sample. The nurse would
print the order, place a copy in the specimen bag and get a cup to collect the urine. This gets completed
just prior to collection of the sample. She confirmed another nurse created the order for resident #1's
UA/CS, but she was the one to revise it. RN B confirmed the order should not be clicked off until it was
actually done and said you would make a note if it was refused or you were unable to collect it. RN B
conveyed you would notify the provider so they could reorder it or decide if they wanted to do something
else. She explained the Unit Managers (UM's) would check the lab book to check the labs to ensure they
were collected by the nurses. RN B said it was important to collect the labs timely before symptoms
worsened.
On [DATE] at 10:31 AM, LPN D recalled she cared for resident #1 many times during his stay including on
the 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift on [DATE]. The nurse explained earlier in the shift on [DATE], the resident had
a fever, so she called the Physician's Assistant (PA) who gave her orders for routine labs and Tylenol. She
said at approximately 2:00 PM, the resident complained of pain and was administered Tramadol, and
approximately a half hour later when the family arrived to visit, she re-checked the resident, and he was,
lethargic (fatigue/sluggishness). LPN D stated she called the PA again who gave orders for STAT labs and
IV fluids, but the family did not want to wait and were adamant about the resident going to the hospital
immediately. The PA was called again, and orders were given to send the resident out to the ER via
911/EMS.
Review of nurse's Progress Notes completed by LPN D documented on [DATE] at 10:11 AM, resident #1
had a temperature of 100.2 F. The attending physician was notified, and orders were obtained for Tylenol
650 MG and routine orders were obtained from the PA for laboratory testing. Later at 1:45 PM, the resident
complained of left hip pain and was administered the pain medication, Tramadol 50 MG.
A Progress Note documented by LPN D later on [DATE] at 3:45 PM, noted resident #1's wife and daughter
were at the facility visiting and the resident was observed as slow to respond to verbal and touch
stimulation, had dilated pupils, and sweaty/clammy skin. LPN D described that the resident's vital signs
were assessed as a blood pressure of 85 systolic and 50 diastolic millimeters of mercury (mmHg), and
heart rate of 90 beats per minute. She documented that the UM contacted the PA who ordered STAT
laboratory tests and IV fluids. LPN D's note continued, the resident's daughter requested the resident be
sent to the emergency room and the PA was contacted for orders. LPN D's note dated [DATE] at 4:24 PM,
documented resident #1 left the facility by stretcher at 4:25 PM, with EMS to go to the hospital.
On [DATE] at 10:16 AM, the North UM recalled in [DATE], she was working when resident #1 received

the pain medication, Tramadol in the afternoon and a short time later; LPN D informed her the resident
seemed more lethargic and wasn't responding to his family who were very concerned with his change in
condition. The nurse explained the PA was called and provided orders for STAT labs and IV fluids, but the
family was not satisfied with that intervention and wanted him to go to the hospital immediately, so the PA
was called back and approved the orders for transport to the hospital. The UM explained that sometime
later, in early [DATE] she was informed by the DON that the resident's lab could not be found and had been
signed off as completed by a nurse. She said resident #1 had at least one family member visit every day
and nurses could have asked the family to assist in obtaining the urine if the resident was refusing. She
said the Unit Managers were responsible for checking a binder kept at the nurse's station for collection
tracking and the APRNs (Advanced Practice Registered Nurses) assisted to check for results. The UM did
not explain how or why resident #1's lab result was not done.
Review of a Situation Background Assessment Recommendations-SBAR progress note completed by the
North UM on [DATE] at 4:53 PM, revealed, at 2 PM, nurse on unit administered Tramadol 50 MG po (by
mouth) for pain x 1 dose. Resident eyes were dilated, slow to respond to verbal commands and diaphoretic
at 1550 (3:50 PM). Temperature 100.2 this AM with complaints of sore throat. Throat was pink, and moist
with no patchy areas noted. The North UM documented the resident 's vital signs were blood pressure of
85/50, heart rate of 90, respirations of 19, blood sugar of 159, and temporal temperature of 97.5 F. She
noted resident #1 had excessive sweating on the trunk of his body. She said the PA ordered IV fluids,
Normal Saline, get STAT labs for UA, C/S, a complete blood count with differential and a basic metabolic
panel. The UM documented that the wife and daughter adamantly requested for him to go to hospital.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 10:37 AM, the PA explained she regularly came to the facility to see
residents and as part of her assessments, she reviewed orders, labs, medications, vital signs, imaging, etc.
The PA said lab orders and results were reviewed with the UM and stated, if I couldn't find results, I will go
back and look to see when it was ordered to be collected, and if more than a day or two after it was to be
collected, I notify nursing to see if it was even collected. She recalled on [DATE], she received a call from
the North Unit Manager that resident #1 wasn't looking good and thought he either had a UTI or sepsis, so
she gave orders for STAT labs, including a UA and more frequent vital sign monitoring. Later they called
back because the family wanted to send him to the ER immediately, so she gave those orders. She said
she expected any UA/CS orders to be processed the same day and sent to the lab, and for nurses to notify
the provider when a test wasn't completed. She could not recall the facility informing her resident #1's
UA/CS from [DATE] wasn't done. The PA stated, they can become septic, and we don't know the source of
the infection; we have to treat them emergently.
Review of Progress Notes documented by the PA dated [DATE] and [DATE], after the physician's diagnostic
testing was ordered included documentation the resident was seen at the request of staff for a follow-up
visit. Both notes indicated, Patient's labs/diagnostics and care provider notes reviewed .
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:59 AM, resident #1's wife recalled on [DATE], the family received a
voicemail from the resident who stated he wasn't feeling well. She explained she and her daughter came to
the facility, they observed him and described his condition as, cold, sweaty, clammy, and non-responsive.
She said her daughter was a paramedic and believed he was in distress, possibly septic shock. She said
nurses called the physician who ordered labs, but the family was very concerned he needed emergent care
and insisted he be sent to the ER immediately, so 911 was initiated.

She said she believed her husband would have died had they not been there and insisted he go
immediately. She said she later requested the UA results from the facility and learned they were never
done. She recalled the experience was very stressful, her family was distraught during the crisis and
thought they may lose their loved one. She said her husband required a breathing machine and ICU care at
the hospital for over two weeks. Resident #1's wife said he had to go to another facility to recover with
continued therapy and nursing care. She exclaimed her family suspected her husband had a UTI at that
time and would ask facility nurses about their concerns, but they would say he's fine, and tell her he just
needed to, sleep it off. His wife said, they never did a urinalysis, they just didn't do it. She continued, we
came in and basically had to find him catatonic before they did something. The resident's wife stated,
looking back, he had no energy and would fall back like a ragdoll; no wonder he had no energy; he wasn't
like that before; even now, he has gone down a lot.
In a joint interview with the DON and Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on [DATE] at 1:05 PM, the DON
conveyed if a lab was unable to be collected, nurses were expected to report to the oncoming nurse and
notify the physician for further orders. She said the physician may say to recollect or could decide to do
something else. She confirmed that the facility had a responsibility to follow up on any orders including the
collection of labs such as urine. The DON recalled on [DATE], the facility received a call from resident #1's
wife who requested the UA/CS results from during his stay at the facility. She explained after she checked
resident #1's medical records, she found the urine test was never done but LPN A had signed the MAR that
it was completed on [DATE]. The DON explained when they questioned her, LPN A stated she attempted to
obtain a specimen twice on [DATE], but the resident refused. LPN A told them she did not inform the
physician, nursing management, nor did she complete a progress note explaining what happened. The
DON explained routine labs were collected by the 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM nurses, and any time a test was not
done for any reason, nurses were expected to notify the physician. She said when the nurse signed the
order as completed it fell off the record and stated, It's the Unit Manager or designee's responsibility to
follow up on ordered lab results.
On [DATE] at 10:11 AM, in a telephone interview, resident #1's attending physician explained he checked
resident #1's medical record and recalled a UA/CS was ordered on [DATE] for blood in the urine. The
physician said he expected his lab orders to be carried out and for nurses to let him know if they were
unable to obtain them so he could decide what to do next. He stated, undetected UTI can lead to sepsis; in
this case that is what happened.
In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 10:53 AM, the facility's Medical Director said he was aware of
resident #1's incident. The Medical Director related he knew the provider was not notified the urine sample
was not collected and the test was never completed. The physician explained he expected nurses to notify
providers when they were unable to collect specimens and stated, unidentified UTI can lead to sepsis.
Review of resident #1's hospital records from [DATE] showed during transport to the hospital EMS
personnel used a Bag-Valve Mask to manually maintain resident #1's breathing until they arrived at the ER
at approximately 4:30 PM. After resident #1 arrived at the ER, life sustaining measures were immediately
implemented including insertion of an endotracheal airway (breathing tube), respiratory ventilation
(breathing by machine), insertion of vena cava (heart) infusion IV device, and irrigation (flushing) of the
genitourinary tract (genital tract in/out of bladder) due to severe sepsis. The resident required IV
medications to stabilize his blood pressure and IV antibiotics for UTI and septicemia (blood infection) and
was transferred to the ICU. The ICU physician's note read, Upon my evaluation, this patient has high
probability of imminent, life-threatening, or organ-threatening deterioration and I provided life/organ saving
interventions as noted above. Resident #1 required continued

acute care hospitalization for more than two weeks until he was discharged to another long term care
facility on [DATE] for continued recovery. The resident's hospital diagnoses included: critical hypotension
(low blood pressure), acute (sudden onset) toxic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), acute hypoxemia (low
blood oxygen) respiratory failure, acute tubular necrosis (severe kidney cell damage from oxygen loss), and
septic shock from UTI.
Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) ventilation is a critical life-saving technique used to provide oxygen and ventilation
to patients who are apneic (temporary breathing cessation) or experiencing severe ventilatory (provision of
air to the lungs) failure, (retrieved on [DATE] from www.medscape.com).
The facility's undated policy and procedure, Laboratory Tests/Diagnostic Procedures: Communicating the
results, revealed the facility would track ordered labs and diagnostic procedures and promptly notify the
medical provider, resident and/or the representative. The procedure section described a facility designated
nurse would review lab log sheets daily to verify protocol was followed and follow up on any discrepancies
noted.
The facility's undated standards and guidelines titled Nursing-Change in Resident's Condition or Status
noted the physician and representative were to be promptly notified of any changes in condition or status.
The procedure included nurse notifications to the attending or on-call physician when there was a refusal of
treatment.
The Facility assessment dated [DATE] noted the facility provided care and services for management of
medical conditions including, Early Identification of Problems, and provided Person-Centered Care that
included, disorders of the genitourinary system.
