Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
Have an agreement with an approved laboratory to obtain services, if on-site laboratory services aren't
provided.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review and interview the facility failed to ensure laboratory testing (stools for occult blood)
were obtained timely for Resident #101. This affected one resident (#101) of three residents reviewed for
laboratory testing.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #101 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses
included peripheral vascular disease, right and left lower extremity amputation, hypertension, and duodenal
ulcer. The resident also had chronic anemia (a common type of anemia that occurs when the body has low
levels of hemoglobin).
Further review of the medical record revealed the resident had lab test results indicating a low hemoglobin
level of 8.1 grams per deciliter of blood (g/dL of blood) on 07/22/24 and a level of 8.9 g/dL on 09/11/24. Per
physician orders, three stools for occult blood (a stool sample obtained to determine if there is hidden blood
in the stool) were initially ordered on 07/22/24. A second and third order for the samples were made by the
physician on 08/15/24 and 09/12/24. One test was completed on 09/16/24.
On 09/27/24 a new order was received for three stool specimens for occult blood testing.
Review of the bowel movement record from 09/26/24 through 09/30/24 revealed Resident #101 had bowel
movements on 09/26/24, 09/27/24, 09/28/24, and 09/29/24. However, there was no evidence the stool
specimens were obtained or of the laboratory testing being completed as ordered during this time period.
On 09/30/24 another order was received to obtain two stool specimens for occult blood testing.
Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #101 had
intact cognition. Further review revealed the resident required substantial/ maximum assistance with toilet
hygiene and was frequently incontinent of bowel.
Review of the laboratory test results revealed the two stool specimens were obtained on 10/01/24 and
10/06/24.
On 10/22/24 at 4:00 P.M. an interview with the Director of Nursing confirmed the stool for the occult blood
for Resident #101 was not obtained timely.
On 10/24/24 at 10:25 A.M. an interview with Physician #400 revealed she would expect the occult stool to
be done immediately and take no longer that two weeks to obtain.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00158714 and
OH00158447.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on observation, medical record review, interview and policy review the facility failed to maintain
accurate medical records related to resident care. This affected one resident (#25) of three residents
reviewed for wound care. The facility census was 96.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #25 revealed an admission date of 10/27/23 with diagnoses
including dementia, unspecified mood affective disorder, anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed on 09/26/24 revealed Resident
#25 had severely impaired cognition and was independent but required substantial assistance with bathing.
Further review of the MDS revealed Resident #25 had surgical wounds.
Review of the physician orders revealed an order dated 10/02/24 for wound care for the mid-upper back
daily every day shift and as needed (PRN). The treatment was to cleanse area with normal saline, apply
skin prep to surrounding tissue or periwound, apply silver alginate to the base of the wound, and secure

Review of the physician orders revealed an order dated 10/02/24 for Resident #25 was to receive wound
care for the right lateral shoulder daily every day shift and as needed (PRN). The treatment was to cleanse

and a dressing to the mid-upper back. Both dressings were dated 10/14/24. Interview with Assistant
Director of Nursing (ADON) #309, at the time of the observation, revealed she was also the facility wound
nurse and confirmed both dressing were applied by her on 10/14/24.
Review of the treatment administration record (TAR) for October 2024 revealed Resident #25's two surgical
wound dressings, one on his right lateral shoulder and one on the mid-upper part of the back, were
documented as being completed on 10/15/24 and 10/16/24. This was verified by ADON #309 on 10/17/24
at 9:38 A.M.
Interview on 10/17/24 at 9:54 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #325 confirmed Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN) #314 documented the wound treatments were completed on 10/15/24 and 10/16/24 on the TAR but
stated she forgot to complete the dressing changes because a lot was going those days. RN #325 stated
this was not proper practice to sign off on the TAR before a dressing change was completed. It was proper
practice to sign off on the TAR after treatment was completed.
Review of the undated policy titled, Clinical Documentation Standards, revealed that nurses would follow
the basic standard of practice for documentation including but not limited to providing a timely and accurate
account of resident information in the medical record.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00158714 and
