V2 stated he didn't know why the physician ordered a UA/UC other than to rule out a UTI and the ultrasound abdomen/pelvis was ordered because R4's physician felt a mass in her abdomen. V2 wasn't aware the laboratory and ultrasound tests were not completed until the surveyor requested the test results, that's when he started making calls to see why the tests were not completed. V1 stated when a physician orders a lab test and/or an ultrasound she expects the UA to be collected and sent off to the lab the next day and if it was attempted to be collected and unsuccessful, the nurse should report that to the oncoming nurse and that nurse should attempt to collect the specimen. If there are any issues getting a specimen i.e. urine collected and/or issues with getting an ultrasound completed nurses should notify the resident's physician within 24 hours and update them on why the tests were not done.

R4 is nonverbal and therefore she can't voice pain but when she assessed her on 8/42025 V19 felt R4 was either in pain or experiencing anxiety so she ordered a UA/C&S and an abdominal ultrasound for the mass felt in her abdomen that day. V19 stated the tests were not done in a timely fashion and stated she comes to the facility on Mondays and Fridays and she expected to have both test results back that Friday, 8/8/2025 but she spoke to the floor nurses who were agency staff and they told her the tests were completed but the results weren't in R4's electronic medical record and the medical records employee was on vacation at that time so she had issues getting the test results. After the abdominal ultrasound was completed, she reviewed the results the next day and stated she sent R4 to the emergency room to rule out a small bowel obstruction and stated she reviewed the emergency room records and it was determined R4 had impacted stool near the rectum which was digitally removed at bedside in the emergency room and R4 received an enema in the emergency room where she had 2 large stools right after. V19 stated it was determined that R4 has a UTI and she received an intramuscular shot of antibiotics in the emergency room and she is on a by mouth antibiotic at the facility to treat that.
