On 11/21/23 at 1:30PM, V4 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated V4 received a call from neurosurgery nurse and instructed to have the INR in therapeutic level before the CT scan can be done. V4 stated V4 relayed this call to V5 (Nurse Practitioner/NP), and V5 ordered to start R1 on warfarin 2.5mg. On 11/21/23 at 2:20PM, V5 (Nurse Practitioner) stated, (R1) has an aortic valve replacement, goal is to have INR of 2.5 to 3.5 and we have to play with the dose because INR was low.

What do CMS severity letters mean?

Serious (G-L). Actual harm to a resident, or immediate jeopardy. Codes G through I indicate actual harm; J through L indicate immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety.

General (A-F). No actual harm found, or harm that is minimal. The facility must still submit a Plan of Correction. Most CMS citations land here.

Each letter combines severity with scope: how many residents the deficiency affected.
