F 0658 weakness noted. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 1.7.2025, 7:20 AM, General Progress Note documents in part: 7:00 AM- called (local) hospital for follow up but found out that resident was rerouted to (911 hospital) and admitted to MICU (Medical Intensive Care Unit) with diagnosis of septic shock. Residents Affected - Few 1.7.2025, 7:20AM, General Progress Note: 7:00 AM- called local hospital for follow up but found out that resident was rerouted to different hospital and admitted to local hospital with diagnosis of septic shock. 2.22.2025, at 4:09 PM, via telephone, V9 (RN-Registered Nurse) said, I was worried about R1's blood pressure. I don't know why I didn't call 911. I should have, I'm sorry. I think I made a mistake. I did contact V11 (Physician). I think I gave R1 an antibiotic (by mouth), I think I started an IV. His blood pressure was not stable, it kept dropping. I was monitoring him frequently. Yes, septic shock is serious. 2.22.2025, at 4:35 PM, V10 (RN-Registered Nurse) said she checked on R1 at the start of shift; his vital signs were good, he was in no distress. V10 said during med pass, I can't remember what time, he said he was nauseated. I took his vital signs. His blood pressure dropped. He had a fever and his oxygen saturation was 89% on room air. I contacted V11 (Physician) and received orders to put R1 on oxygen, start an IV and obtain STAT labs. I gave him Tylenol for his fever. I continued to monitor him. I would have called 911 and not waited for the private ambulance when his blood pressure dropped. 2.22.2025, at 5:02 PM, via telephone, V11 (Physician) said, I don't remember anything about it (R1). Surveyor read above referenced progress notes to V11. V11 said, I would have sent R1 to the hospital via 911, not a private ambulance, when his blood pressure was below 90. When asked what could possibly happen if access to acute care is delayed, V11 said recovery period could be prolonged, his condition could have worsen if the resident had comorbidities. V11 continued, R1 didn't develop hypoxia because he was awake/alert and coherent. His oxygen level was stable and the resident was stable. 2.22.2025, at 6:03 PM, V3 (ADON-Assistant Director of Nursing) said, V9 (RN-Registered Nurse) was doing close monitoring of R1. R1 was receiving IV fluids and the resident was not in distress. V3 continued, management wise they were able to intervene, but you know the resident came in with stomach cancer. The low blood pressure could be due to the metastatic disease. It seems the blood pressure was stable enough. V3 said constant monitoring was being done though not specified in documentation; it appears the resident stabilized. R1 was still responsive; he could verbalize if he was not doing well. At that time since there were no signs of distress, it was okay during that situation to wait for the private ambulance. Based on the documentation of the nurse, I would have waited for (private ambulance), not called 911.
