This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide a safe
environment free from abuse and neglect for
one of 88 residents (Resident 1) when a
Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) failed to
do the following for a resident who had just
returned from the general acute care hospital
for a complaint of chest pain:
1. Failed to assess Resident 1 upon
readmission from the emergency room for pain
and to take vital signs (temperature, pulse,
respirations and blood pressure).
2. Failed to medicate Resident 1 for repeated
episodes of nausea and vomiting for several
hours as per physician's orders, or to offer pain
medication for severe abdominal pain which
caused Resident 1 to be heard screaming by
her roommate and staff.
3. Failed to notify Resident 1's physician that
Resident 1 had returned from the emergency
room with vomiting, severe abdominal pain,
high blood glucose level and the prescribed
insulin coverage had not been given.
These failures resulted in Resident 1 suffering
unnecessary pain, having a rapid decline in her
health which ended in her death within eight
hours of returning to the facility.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 1's clinical record, the
face sheet (Contains demographic information),
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on November 5, 2019, and died in the
facility on December 12, 2019, with diagnoses
which included Type 1 diabetes mellitus
(chronic condition where the pancreas
produced little to no insulin), end stage renal
