Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
closed medical record review, facility policy review and interview, the facility failed to collaborate care
between nursing and physician services to identify and assess risk factors affecting quality of care and
wellbeing of Resident #129 and placing Resident #129 at risk for the development of a blood clot and
rehospitalization within 30 days of admission.
Residents Affected - Few
Actual harm occurred on 09/01/23 when Resident #129, who had a history of embolism (blood clot), was at
high risk for developing blood clots and was non-ambulatory, insisted on being sent to the hospital because
the facility was not doing anything to address his complaints of severe pain in his left leg which was being
treated at the facility as neuropathic pain. Resident #129 was ordered the anti-coagulant medication Heparin from admission through 08/23/23. The facility failed to adequately assess the continued need for
Heparin or any other type of anti-coagulant medication after 08/23/23. After being transported to the
hospital on [DATE], the resident was diagnosed with a large blood clot in his leg and required intravenous
(IV) Heparin and an oral anticoagulant (the resident was not a candidate for surgical intervention, the
preferred treatment).
This affected one resident (#129) of 34 residents reviewed for quality of care. The facility census was 125.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #129's closed medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility for
rehabilitation on 08/05/23 after being hospitalized from [DATE] due to a motorcycle accident requiring
trauma intensive care and emergency surgery. Resident #129 was his own responsible party.
Review of a hospital history and physical for Resident #129, dated 06/30/23, revealed Resident #129 had
been brought into the hospital emergency room following a motorcycle accident. Resident #129 arrived at
the hospital emergency room with complaints of pain all over his body and was diagnosed with deep vein
thrombosis (DVT)/blood clots in both proximal lower extremities and an open book fracture of the pelvis.
Upon admission to the facility on [DATE] Resident #129 had diagnoses including embolism and thrombosis
of iliac artery, fracture of other parts of pelvis, right side rib fracture, low back pain, surgical aftercare
following surgery on the digestive system, obstructive and reflux uropathy, muscle weakness, need for
assistance with personal care, contusion of unspecified part of neck, dysphagia, paralytic ileus, low back
pain, hypertension, and neuralgia and neuritis.
Review of the physician's orders revealed an order, dated 08/05/23 for Heparin sodium (Porcine) 5000 units
subcutaneously (SQ) three times a day for circulation. On 08/08/23 this order was revised to read Heparin
sodium injection 5000 units SQ every eight hours for circulation for 14 days and discontinue 08/21/23.
Review of the care plan, dated 08/07/23, revealed Resident #129 was at risk for abnormal bleeding or
hemorrhage due to anticoagulant use related to embolism and thrombosis of the iliac artery. Interventions
included administering medications and observing side effects and effectiveness.

Residents Affected - Few
Resident #129 was cognitively intact and required extensive assistance of two staff for bed mobility,
transfers and toilet use, extensive assist of one for dressing, personal hygiene, and supervision with eating.
Resident #129 had impairment on both sides of the lower extremities, used a wheelchair for mobility and
required set up help only for mobility. Resident #129 had an indwelling catheter, an ostomy, was frequently
incontinent of bowel, had fractures, other multiple traumas, DVT, and septicemia. The MDS assessment
revealed Resident #129 received anticoagulant therapy seven out of seven days and was receiving
occupational and physical therapy services.
Further review of the physician's orders revealed an order dated 08/21/23 for Heparin sodium (Porcine)
5000 units SQ every eight hours for circulation until 08/31/2023. However, this order was discontinued on
08/23/23 per Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #600.
Review of progress notes dated 08/14/23, 08/28/23 and 08/29/23 by the CNP revealed Resident #129 had
suffered extensive injuries from a motorcycle accident, had bilateral nephrostomy tubes present, internal
fixation of the anterior pelvis and percutaneous pinning of the posterior pelvis following pelvic fracture. The
resident denied pain on 08/14/23 except when visitors were present the pain would elevate and would
consist of sharp, shooting pain to his left lower leg. The resident was agreeable to try Gabapentin to treat
neuropathic pain in addition to the other pain medications noted. On 08/28/23 the resident was seen for
complaints of nausea; pain was low at a one out of 10 and he denied any other complaints. It was noted he
had been prescribed an antibiotic, Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim on 08/23/23 to treat a urinary tract
infection and was prescribed an anti-nausea medication at the visit. On 08/29/23 the resident was seen for
acute, increase neuropathic pain to the bilateral legs which was noted to be present over the last several
weeks since admission. The resident had no other complaints, and the vital signs were normal. Gabapentin
was increased to treat the neuropathic pain and the resident agreed. The CNP noted the resident had
chronic one-plus edema that showed no change at each visit.
Review of a telehealth visit note dated 09/01/23 completed by CNP #606 revealed a telehealth visit was
conducted due to Resident #129 complaining of increased pain stating it was above a 10 out of 10 although
all vital signs were normal with no elevation in pulse, temperature or blood pressure and no non-verbal
signs of pain noted. The note documented the resident appeared to be nontoxic and had been on the
phone with his ex-wife about how the facility was not doing anything and he was not ready to come to the
facility for rehab. He was currently on the phone with his ex-wife, both were making each other agitated and
insisting on going to the emergency department (ED). According to the resident, no pain meds work for
him, Tramadol or Oxycontin and he needed something stronger. Explained to resident and his ex-wife this
was going to be a long process that involved trial and error, not something that was going to get resolved
with a visit at 4:00 A.M. and that they need to speak with the appropriate team for their concerns. Both just
want to go to ED, explained that ED was just going to send him right back after giving him one dose of pain
meds, but they were both not listening and talking over staff. Note to send to ED per patient request.
Review of the nurse's note, dated 09/01/23 at 4:23 A.M. revealed Resident #129 was complaining of severe
pain, refusing to take a muscle relaxant, vital signs were obtained, telehealth was contacted and despite
the explanation provided by convergence the resident was determined for a hospital transfer and therefore
transferred to the hospital at 4:20 A.M.
Review of the nurse's note dated 09/01/23 at 8:22 A.M. revealed Resident #129 was being admitted to the
hospital with a diagnosis of DVT to the left lower extremity.

Record review of the Physical Therapy Discharge summary dated [DATE] and completed by Physical
Therapist (PT) #607 revealed Resident #129 was discharged from PT services due to going out to the
hospital for a DVT. Resident #129 had been working with therapy though was making slow and steady
progress due to his pain and complaints of dizziness when attempting to sit up. Resident #129 continued to
be non-weight baring and had been maintaining this as Resident #129 had not been getting out of bed and
had been declining attempts to try a sliding board since he was only able to sit at the edge of the bed for 30
seconds at a time due to dizziness.
Interviews and medical record review were conducted intermittently with the Director of Nursing (DON)
between 10/23/23 at 3:27 P.M. and 10/24/23 at 12:43 P.M. for Resident #129. The DON verified Resident
#129 had a history of blood clots noted in the records. When asked if Resident #129 had a blood clot in his
leg upon admission to the facility, the DON explained he had a history of blood clots but was not aware of a
current blood clot when admitted to the facility.
Interview on 10/23/23 at 3:39 P.M. with CNP #600 revealed he worked at the facility four to five days a week

a history of blood clots in his legs and had not been able to get up and walk at the facility prior to being sent
to the hospital on [DATE] at his own request. Resident #129 explained his legs started hurting and because
the pain was severe, he wanted to go to the hospital; he was worried about blood clots, so he insisted they
send him out. Resident #129 explained after he left the hospital, he went to a different care facility to
receive rehabilitation and was up walking around now. Resident #129 did not specify how long he had been
hospitalized for the DVT.
Interview via phone on 10/24/23 at 1:35 P.M. with Primary Care Physician (PCP) #604 confirmed he cared

#129 after he was transferred to the hospital on [DATE]. PCP #604 revealed Resident #129 was injured
badly when he was hit on his motorcycle while going through an intersection and had an extensive pelvic
fracture. PCP #604 explained Resident #129 had a blood clot that extended from the iliac femoral artery all
the way down his leg, and this was confirmed in the hospital on [DATE]. PCP #604 revealed those types of
clots were usually removed surgically but because of the resident's extensive fractures, that was not an
option. PCP #604 explained Resident #129's treatment in the hospital consisted of a Heparin drip
(intravenous) then an anticoagulant. PCP #604 revealed Heparin injections being given at the facility were
used prophylactically to prevent further blood clots. PCP #604 explained if one dose a day was prescribed,
then the person was at low risk for an embolism. If two doses were prescribed, the person was at moderate
risk for developing a clot and if three doses a day were prescribed, they were at high risk. PCP #604
revealed Resident #129 was ordered three doses a day because he was at high risk for developing a blood
clot. When asked about what could happen if Resident #129 had missed doses of the Heparin, PCP #604
revealed if Resident #129 received at

least one dose a day of the Heparin, it would be less likely to form a blood clot than missing all three doses
in one day. PCP #604 verified the CNP was following the resident's care in the facility. PCP #604 indicated
he could not recall if he was notified the Heparin was discontinued on 08/23/23 by the nurse practitioner
and revealed the only reason why he personally would have discontinued the Heparin was if the resident
was ambulatory. PCP #604 stated blood clots can be deadly.
Interview was conducted via phone on 10/24/23 at 4:04 P.M. with the Regional Director of
Clinical/Registered Nurse (RDC/RN) #900 who revealed Resident #129 was assessed by the CNP on
08/14/23 and was treated for neuropathic pain. Resident #129 was assessed again by the CNP on
08/28/23 and 08/29/23 and the RDC/RN did not believe there were signs of a new DVT. RDC/RN #900 said
he had spoken with PCP #604 about the half-life of Heparin and PCP #604 informed him intermittent
missed doses would not cause a DVT, but a DVT could occur if there were multiple missed doses for
several days in a row.
Interview via phone on 10/25/23 at 9:22 A.M. with CNP #600 revealed he had discontinued the Heparin
dose for Resident #129 on 08/23/23, and thought it was possibly because he had started Resident #129 on
an antibiotic on 08/23/23 and at times there could have been a drug interaction between the antibiotic and
the Heparin. CNP #600 confirmed he did not document why he discontinued the Heparin for Resident #129
on 08/23/23. CNP #600 revealed Resident #129 was non-weight bearing but stated he did see Resident
#129 transfer himself. CNP #600 explained he did not know the Heparin was supposed to continue (per the
physician's order) until 08/31/23 because he did not look into the ins and outs of how many days the
Heparin was ordered. When CNP #600 was asked about Resident #129 being diagnosed with a blood clot
in the hospital on [DATE], CNP #600 did not respond to the question.
Review of the undated facility policy titled Routine Resident Care revealed it was the policy of the facility to
meet the total needs of the resident including the administration of medications.

Interviews and medical record review were conducted intermittently with the Director of Nursing (DON)
between 10/23/23 at 3:27 P.M. and 10/24/23 at 12:43 P.M. for Resident #129. The DON verified Resident
#129 did not receive his Heparin as ordered between 08/15/23 at 10:00 P.M. through the last dose on
08/23/23 at 6:00 A.M. The DON verified Resident #129 had a history of blood clots noted in the records.
The DON explained the doses should not have been missed because the nurses had an option to reorder
the Heparin on the electronic MAR and she was unsure why they did not and instead mark they did not
have the medication. The DON confirmed some nurses pulled the Heparin for Resident #129 from the
starter box when it was available and that was why some doses were missed and some doses were not
missed. The DON confirmed the nurses did not notify any CNP or physician during that period when
Resident #129 did not receive his Heparin as ordered and she would have expected the nurses to notify the
physician when a medication was not available.
Interview on 10/23/23 at 3:39 P.M. with CNP #600 revealed he worked at the facility four to five days a week
and had discontinued the Heparin order on 08/23/23. CNP #600 stated he cared for Resident #129 and
was never notified Resident #129 missed any doses of Heparin. CNP #600 revealed he would expect to be
notified if medication was not available.
Interview on 10/23/23 at 5:23 P.M. with Resident #129 verified he was at the facility for rehabilitation, had a
history of blood clots in his legs and had not been able to get up and walk at the facility prior to being sent
to the hospital on [DATE] at his own request. Resident #129 explained his legs started hurting and because
the pain was severe, he wanted to go to the hospital; he was worried about the blood clots, so he insisted
they send him out. Resident #129 explained after he left the hospital, he went to a different care facility to
receive rehabilitation and was up walking around now. Resident #129 did not specify how long he had been
hospitalized for the DVT.
Interview via phone on 10/24/23 at 1:35 P.M. with PCP #604 confirmed he cared for Resident #129 while
Resident #129 resided at the facility. PCP #604 revealed he also cared for Resident #129 after he was
transferred to the hospital on [DATE]. PCP #604 revealed Heparin injections being given at the facility were
used prophylactically to prevent further blood clots. PCP #604 explained if one dose a day was prescribed,
then the person was at low risk for an embolism. If two doses were prescribed, the person was at moderate
risk for developing a clot and if three doses a day were prescribed, they were at high risk. PCP #604
revealed Resident #129 was ordered three doses a day because he was at high risk for developing a blood
clot. When asked about what could happen if Resident #129 had missed doses of the Heparin, PCP #604
revealed if Resident #129 received at least one dose a day of the Heparin, it would be less likely to form a
blood clot than missing all three doses in one day. PCP #604 verified he was not notified of the missed
Heparin doses for Resident #129
Interview via phone on 10/25/23 at 9:22 A.M. with CNP #600 revealed he recalled the DON telling him at
morning meeting the Heparin was hard to get but stated he had not been informed of any missed Heparin
doses for Resident #129. CNP #600 revealed heparin was a drug readily available and confirmed he was
never told of any missed doses.
Review of the facility undated policy titled Routine Resident Care revealed it was the policy of the facility to
meet the total needs of the resident including the administration of medications.
