Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to obtain the necessary weights on residents (R1, R5) with
diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF). The facility failed to obtain and complete the necessary lab
work on resident (R1) with diagnoses of CHF and chronic kidney disease. These failures contributed to R1
being re-hospitalized with diagnoses of fluid overload and an exacerbation of CHF. These failures apply to 2
of 5 residents (R1, R5) reviewed for necessary care and services in the sample of 5.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
1. R1's hospital discharge instructions dated 12/20/23 showed R1 was hospitalized , from
12/10/23-12/20/23, due to bacterial endocarditis (infection around the heart) and respiratory failure. The
discharge instructions also showed R1 had diagnoses of congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic kidney
disease. The instructions showed R1 was discharged to the facility on [DATE], for skilled therapy and rehab
services, with an order for, Labs: CBC (complete blood count), Creatinine (measures kidney function), and
ALT (measures liver function), every Monday. R1's was to have lab work done on Monday, 12/25/23. The
instructions showed R1's hospital weight as 150.4 pounds (lbs).
R1's admission order dated 12/20/24 showed R1 was to be weighed once a week, for 4 weeks. R1's
Weights and Vitals Summary record showed no documented weight for R1, upon admission to the facility,
on 12/20/23. The summary showed R1's first documented weight as 154.2 lbs on 12/27/23.
R1's physician history and physical report dated 12/21/23 showed R1 was seen and examined by V4 (R1's
Physician) in the facility. The note showed V4 found R1 to have no edema or swelling to her lower
extremities.
R1's electronic medical records dated 12/25/23 and 12/26/23 were reviewed and showed no lab work was

The note showed R1's physician (V4) was notified.
R1's Order Reports dated 12/28/23 showed two new physician orders were placed on R1. These orders
were: 1) Draw a CBC, CMP (metabolic panel), A1C (blood sugar level), and TSH (thyroid studies) on R1.
The order showed to text V4 (R1's physician) with R1's lab results.
2) Weigh R1 daily for the next 7 days. Facility staff were to report R1's weights to V4 (R1's Physician).

R1's electronic medical records dated 12/28/23 showed no lab work was drawn or completed on R1 on
12/28/23. R1's electronic medical records showed no labs were drawn on R1 until 1/3/24.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
R1's Weights and Vitals Summary record showed no documented weight for R1 on 12/28/23.
Residents Affected - Few
R1's Physician/NP (Nurse Practitioner) progress note dated 12/29/23 showed R1 was seen and examined
by V11 NP with V5 (Family of R1) in attendance. The note showed V11 NP found R1 to have mild edema to
her feet and ankles. The note showed V5 (Family of R1) was very concerned about R1's lower leg swelling.
V11 NP explained to (V5) that if the edema starts to creep up the leg, (R1) becomes increasingly short of
breath, confused, etc., that this would be of concern .
R1's nurses note dated 12/29/23 showed R1's oxygen saturation levels had decreased while on
supplemental oxygen. The note showed R1 required an albuterol inhaler treatment and a brief increase in
oxygen, from 3 liters to 5 liters via nasal cannula, to maintain R1's oxygen saturation levels within the
prescribed parameters.
R1's skilled evaluation nurses note dated 12/30/23 showed R1's weight had increased to 155.6 lbs on
12/29/23. The note showed the edema (swelling) to R1's lower extremities had increased (worsened) to +3
pitting edema.
R1's Weights and Vitals Summary record showed no documented weights for R1 on 12/30/23 or 12/31/23.
The summary showed R1 weighed 154.5 lbs on 1/1/24.
R1's nurses note dated 1/2/24 showed R1 continued to have pitting edema to her bilateral lower
extremities.
R1's nurses note dated 1/3/24 showed staff found R1 to be more confused, with low oxygen saturation
levels. The note showed R1 had lung crackles present with +3 pitting edema bilaterally to R1's lower
extremities. R1 was sent emergently, via ambulance, to a local hospital for an evaluation.
R1's hospital records dated 1/3/24 showed R1 was readmitted to the hospital due to an exacerbation of
congestive heart failure. The hospital records showed R1 was brought back to the hospital due to increased
confusion and was found to be fluid overloaded.
On 9/18/24 at 1:35 PM, V11 NP stated weights should be obtained and monitored on residents with
congestive heart failure because if the resident is putting on too much fluid, their condition could spiral into
CHF and the resident could wind up back in the hospital. V11 stated, (R1's) weight really needed to be
monitored due to her edema (to her lower extremities). V11 NP stated she noted R1 had mild edema to her
lower extremities on 12/29/23.
On 9/23/24 at 9:41 AM, V4 (R1's Physician) stated he ordered lab work on R1 on 12/28/23 to check her
kidney function and electrolyte status. V4 stated no lab work was done on R1 on 12/28/23. V4 stated R1
had no lab work drawn, in the facility until 1/3/24, just prior to her being sent back to the hospital for a
change in condition. V4 stated he ordered daily weights to be done on R1, starting 12/28/23, because R1
was becoming more edematous. When I saw her on December 21st (2023), she had no edema to her lower
extremities. V4 stated, Labs and weights are to be done on residents as ordered. Residents, such as (R1),
with CHF and/or kidney failure need to be monitored closely because if their kidneys worsen or CHF
worsens, the resident can become more edematous. I (V4) monitor residents with CHF by examining them
along with monitoring their weights and labs. If residents aren't weighed as

ordered or labs aren't done, it can impede the way I (V4) medically manage the resident. If a resident is
becoming more edematous and weights and labs are not done as ordered, that resident's health could
deteriorate .
On 9/23/24 at 10:36 AM, V3 Assistant Director of Nursing stated all residents should be weighed up
admission and readmission to the facility to verify the accuracy of a resident's weight. V3 stated nursing is
responsible for ensuring residents are weighed and lab work is completed, as per physician order. V3
stated the admitting nurse is responsible for reviewing all resident's hospital discharge instructions and
physician orders to ensure these orders are put into place. The Director of Nursing (DON) would then
double check the admitting orders to make sure nothing was overlooked.
On 9/23/24 at 10:45 AM, V1 Administrator stated she didn't know why R1's weights and labs were not done
as per physician order. V1 stated, (V12 Former DON) was overseeing the weights and labs for (R1) at that
time. I (V1) don't know why they weren't done. V1 stated V12 (Former DON) no longer worked at the facility.
On 9/23/24, this surveyor made two attempts to contact V12 (Former DON) via phone for an interview but
was unsuccessful.
The facility's Provision of Physician Ordered Services policy dated 12/1/23 showed, The purpose of this
policy is to provide a reliable process for the proper and consistent provision of physician ordered services
according to professional standards of quality . Facility will maintain a schedule of diagnostic tests
(laboratory and radiology) in accordance with the physician's orders . Qualified personnel will submit timely
requests for physician ordered services (laboratory, radiology, consultations) to the appropriate entity .

heart failure (CHF).
A physician order dated 8/7/24 for R5 showed for R5 to be weighed daily. The order showed staff were to
report to R5's physician if R5 gained 3 lbs or more in one day or 5 lbs or more in one week.
