when someone from hospice called me that night (9/6/25) to tell me her shoulder was dislocated, and they
needed to send her to the hospital.On 9/10/25 at 10:48 AM, V10 RN stated she was notified of new bruising

them of the bruise and/or obtain an order for an X-ray because we were just kind of waiting on direction
from her hospice. V3 stated facility staff are to notify a resident's physician or nurse practitioner immediately
with any changes in resident condition. When asked why the facility did not order any X-ray of R2's shoulder
themselves and why it took over 24 hours for R2's X-ray to be completed, V3 stated, I believe we could
have ordered the X-ray ourselves if we had contacted the physician. I don't know how the X-ray was
ordered by hospice. I don't know why it took so long to get it.On 9/10/25 at 11:19 AM, V14 (R2's Hospice
Nurse) stated she was notified of the new bruising to R2's shoulder on 9/5/25. V14 came to the facility on
9/5/25 to assess R2. V14 stated, I found bruising to (R2's) left lateral arm and posterior shoulder area. (R2)
didn't appear to be in pain. It was her bath day. My hospice CNA went to bathe her and called me
immediately. She said that something was wrong with (R2's) shoulder because she said (R2's) shoulder
was floppy and seemed unstable. That is when I ordered the X-ray. When asked if she ordered R2's X-ray to
be done STAT (immediately), V14 stated she didn't know if it had been ordered STAT. V14 stated, We
(hospice and the facility) should have collaborated better and ordered the X-ray sooner. V14 stated the
facility could have contacted V15 (R2's Nurse Practitioner) directly when they found the new bruising to
R2's shoulder to obtain an order for an X-ray. On 9/10/25 at 11:40 AM, V15 (R2's Nurse Practitioner/NP)
stated she never received a call from the facility on 9/5/25 or 9/6/25 informing her of and/or updating her on
the new bruising found to R2's left shoulder. V15 stated, The first I learned of the injury was on 9/5/25 when
(V14 R2's Hospice Nurse) called me and got an order for the X-ray. V15 stated either V15 or R2's physician
should have been notified immediately by the facility when the new bruising to R2's shoulder was found by
facility staff. On 9/10/25 at 1:00 PM, V2 Director of Nursing (DON) stated she examined R2's left shoulder
on 9/5/25 after she was notified of the new bruising. V2 stated she noted a large bruise to R2's left upper
arm. V2 stated she did not complete a full assessment of R2's left arm at that time. V2 stated she did not
contact R2's physician or NP to notify them of R2's new bruising or attempt to obtain an X-ray order. V2
stated, We were just waiting to see what hospice would say. The facility is responsible for all patient care
and general treatment even with hospice residents. Hospice is kind of a second set of helping hands. We
should have called (V15 R2's NP) ourselves to inform her of the bruising and to get the X-ray order. I am
not sure why we didn't. V2 DON stated facility staff are to immediately report any changes in a resident's
condition to the resident's physician or NP to ensure treatments are implemented as soon as possible.The
facility's Responding to an Acute Change of Condition policy dated August 2025 showed, Residents who
experience an acute change in condition will have their condition monitored, the attending physician
notified, and the responsible party informed when the condition changes and as follow up actions occur.
GOAL: 1. To ensure the resident changes are identified, communicated, and addressed timely. 2. To ensure
that the attending physician of a resident is notified of changes in condition. The licensed nurse will evaluate
the resident to determine the status of the condition change. If the resident is not presenting with a medical
emergency but presents with an acute condition that requires prompt care and treatment, the licensed
nurse will obtain a baseline assessment. and then contact the physician for further follow up and orders.
The medical record should reflect the nurse's observation and assessments, physician notification, and
follow-through, including updated plan of care.
