Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on medical record review, observation, resident interview, and staff interview, the facility failed to
inform residents of new orders and treatment plans. This affected one (Resident #36) of three residents
reviewed for change in condition. The facility census was 76.
Residents Affected - Few
Finding include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #36 revealed an admission date of 01/23/24 with diagnoses
including pleural effusion, cirrhosis of the liver, hepatitis C, hypertension, esophageal varices, diabetes,
obstructive pulmonary disease, traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and ascites (a condition in which
fluid collects in spaces within your abdomen).
Review of the progress note for Resident #36 dated 01/25/24 timed at 11:40 P.M. revealed the resident
requested to go to the hospital to have immediate paracentesis (a procedure performed in patients with
ascites, during which a needle is inserted into the abdomen to drain excess fluid), because she had
increased abdominal pain, and she felt her liver was leaky. The nurse assessed the resident and noted the
resident's abdomen was slightly distended. The nurse told Resident #36 she would notify the resident's
physician the next day and they would make the decision regarding paracentesis.
Review of the physician's order for Resident #36 dated 01/26/24 revealed the physician gave an order for
the following lab tests to be completed: complete blood count (CBC), basic metabolic panel (BMP) and
hemoglobin A1C.
Review of the progress notes for Resident #36 dated 01/26/24 to 01/29/24 revealed the notes did not
include documentation of notification to the resident that her provider had been contacted regarding her
concerns and/or that laboratory tests had been ordered for her.
Review of the progress note for Resident #36 dated 01/30/24 timed at 9:16 A.M. revealed the laboratory
tests for Resident #36 were not drawn as ordered and had to be rescheduled. There was no documentation
in the note that Resident #36 was notified the lab had to be rescheduled.
Observation on 1/31/24 at 4:55 P.M. revealed Resident #36 told the nurse she was upset because she felt
like she was filling up with fluid and drowning due to her abdominal ascites.
Interview on 02/01/24 at 1:45 P.M. with Resident #36 confirmed staff did not provide information to her
about her care for her abdominal ascites. Resident #36 confirmed staff did not tell her NP #235 was notified
of her concerns and that the NP had ordered laboratory testing to be completed on 01/29/24. Resident #36
further confirmed the staff did not tell her that the lab work had to be rescheduled for the next lab day.

Interview on 02/01/24 at 2:27 P.M. with Nurse Practitioner (NP) #235 confirmed the facility called her the
morning of 01/26/24 to report Resident #36 was having abdominal pain and was requesting to have a
paracentesis done. NP #235 confirmed she told the facility nurse that she was not going to order a
paracentesis because she had not seen the resident yet, and she ordered some lab work to be completed
on the next scheduled lab day. NP #235 confirmed she examined Resident #36 on 01/29/24 and the
resident did not say anything regarding wanting a paracentesis. NP #235 further confirmed Resident #36
did have abdominal ascites, but it was not a large enough amount to schedule an emergency paracentesis.
Interview on 02/01/24 at 3:55 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #200 confirmed she notified NP #235 on
01/26/24 that Resident #36 was complaining of abdominal ascites and wanted to be scheduled for a
paracentesis. RN #200 confirmed NP #235 gave an order for laboratory testing for the next scheduled lab
day which was 01/29/24. RN #200 confirmed she did not notify Resident #36 about her call with NP #235
and/or the order for laboratory testing to be done 01/29/24. RN #200 confirmed the lab was not able to draw
the labs on 01/29/24 and the labs had to be rescheduled. RN #200 confirmed Resident #36 was not notified
of her labs being rescheduled for later in the week.
Interview on 02/01/24 at 4:40 P.M. the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed there was no documentation in
Resident #36's record that the resident was kept informed regarding her plan of treatment for her
abdominal ascites.
