F 0580 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few gave an order to send R1 to local emergency room.R1's local ED (Emergency Department) Note, dated 9/11/25, documents, Chief Complaint: Stroke-Like Symptoms. (R1) is an [AGE] year-old who presents to the ED with complaints of stroke-like symptoms that began today. (R1) reports waking up with vision problems and requiring assistance to go to the bathroom. This same ED Note documents, Critical Findings: Acute Ischemic Stroke. Admit to Hospital.R1's Hospital Discharge Orders and Summary, dated 9/14/25, documents, Admitting Diagnoses: Left-Sided Weakness and Stroke.On 9/18/25 at 11:46 AM, R1 stated a day or two before being admitted to the hospital on [DATE], R1 experienced changes in vision and reported having leg cramps. A Nurse Practitioner, identified as V4, reportedly saw R1 the day before R1's hospital admission and initiated new orders. The day of R1's hospital admission, before lunch, R1 reported her vision changes became more severe, and developed weakness to her left leg. R1 used her call light because she was too weak to transfer on her own and had to use the bathroom. R1 stated, Two staff members had to assist me to the bathroom. I could not move my left leg and I reported my vision was getting worse. R1 reported a nurse, identified as V9/Agency LPN, came down and assessed R1 and told R1, V4/Nurse Practitioner, had previously assessed R1 the day prior, so V9 was just going to monitor R1. R1 stated, I went to lunch and my vision was getting worse and my left leg was extremely weak. Again, (V9) told me (V4) had just seen me the day prior, so she pushed me down to my room, assisted me to my recliner, and elevated my legs. (V9) told me to try and rest. Around two to three hours later, I put back on my call light to get help with using the bathroom. At this time, I was unable to move my left leg, my left arm, and could hardly see. It took two staff members to assist me to the bathroom once again. (V9) finally sent me out to the ED.On 9/18/25 at 1:27 PM, V11/CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated she was working with R1 on 9/11/25, the day R1 was sent out to the local hospital. V11 stated, (R1) did not complain of anything early that morning. Right before lunch (R1) had turned on her call light. (V12) and I went to (R1's) room and (R1) was visibly upset saying she needed to use the bathroom. (R1) expressed to me that something was wrong with her vision and her left leg. (R1) was complaining of weakness on her left side and could not physically lift her left leg. (V12) and I assisted (R1) to the bathroom. As we stood (R1) up to hold on to the grab bars in the bathroom, (V12) and I had to manipulate (R1's) left leg to get her positioned correctly to sit on the toilet. (R1) was unable to move her left leg which was out of character for (R1). V11 expressed R1 never utilizes her call light or asks for assistance. V11 reported she notified V9/Agency LPN to let her know about the new concerns with R1, V9 came to examine R1 and stated since V4 had already seen her the day prior, V9 would just monitor R1. V11 stated, I did express to (V9) that something was not right with (R1) and that (R1) never requires assistance.On 9/18/25 at 1:35 PM, V9/Agency LPN verified she was the nurse taking care of R1 on 9/11/25, the day R1 was sent to the local hospital. V9 stated, Before lunch I was called to (R1's) room. (R1) was complaining of her left leg being weak and having some vision trouble. (R1) required more assistance at that time to go to the bathroom. I had read (R1's) notes and (V4) had been in to see her the day prior for leg cramps and vision changes. I let (R1) know that and told (R1) I would monitor her. I did not call a physician at that time. (R1) ate lunch fine but was still complaining of some vision changes and left leg weakness. I let (R1) know that (V4) had written an order for (R1) to see an ophthalmologist again, and that I would push (R1) to her room and assist her withing propping her leg up in the recliner and told (R1) to try and rest. When (R1) woke up around 3:00 PM, (R1) was complaining of neck pain. (R1) was talking fine and responding fine but stated her left leg didn't feel right. I called (V12/CNA) to assist me with taking (R1) to the bathroom. At that time (R1's) mobility decreased even more. I then called (V10/Nurse Practitioner) at that time and got (R1) sent out to the local hospital.

V9 verified she typed everything that occurred throughout the day in one progress note right before she sent R1 out to the local hospital. V9 confirmed she should have documented R1's events throughout the day as they occurred at the correct times.On 9/19/25 at 10:43 AM V12/CNA stated, I was getting resident's up for lunch, when (R1) had put on her call light sometime between 11:00 AM and 11:30 AM. It was weird that (R1) had her call light on because (R1) is independent and never uses her call light. (V11/CNA) and I both went down to (R1's) room. (R1) was saying her eyes were bothering her, (R1) couldn't see how she normally could, and that (R1) couldn't really move her left leg. (R1) stated she was needing to go to the bathroom. (V11) and I assisted (R1) to the bathroom. When (V11) and I assisted (R1) up to the grab bar in the bathroom, (R1) could hardly move her left leg and (V11) and I had to help guide it, to get (R1) on the toilet. (V11) went and got (V9/Agency LPN) because something was not right with (R1). (R1) never requires assistance. (V9) came to (R1's) room, but basically just told (R1) that (V4/R1's Nurse Practitioner) was already aware from the day prior and that (V9) would just monitor (R1). I am not sure how (R1) got back to her room after lunch because I was called to work on a different unit for a few hours. When I got back to the floor (V9) had asked me if I could come to (R1's) room and help (V9) assist (R1) to the bathroom. This was around 3:00 PM. When I got to (R1's) room (R1) stated she now was unable to move her left arm. I believe right after that is when (V9) got (R1) sent out to the hospital.On 9/18/25 at 12:39 PM, V4/R1's Nurse Practitioner stated she saw R1 on 9/10/25 at the facility. R1 told V4 she was having cramps in her legs, and it was worse at night along with vision changes. V4 stated she did initiate orders for V4, but at that time didn't see any stroke-like symptoms. V4 stated, (R1) could move her left leg up and down when I had seen her and had no problems with weakness. I did initiate orders for (R1's) complaints of leg cramps. I would have expected the facility to notify (V17/R1's Physician) or myself right away if (R1's) if (R1) was experiencing increased weakness or required more assistance with ADL's (Activities of Daily Living).On 9/19/25 at 10:02 AM, V2/Director of Nursing verified she would have expected a nurse to notify the resident's provider immediately with any significant changes in a resident's condition like R1 was experiencing on 9/11/25 when R1 first was requiring more assistance with ADL's and complaining of increased weakness and more severe vision changes.
