**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to notify the resident's
representative of a significant change in the resident's care and treatment. This affected one (Resident #34)
of three residents reviewed for notification of change in condition. The census was 42.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #34 was admitted on [DATE] with presence of prosthetic
heart valve, cerebral infarction with left sided hemiplegia and hemiparesis, vascular dementia, atrial
fibrillation, and obesity.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) annual assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #34 had
moderate cognitive impairment and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. The resident required
supervision with eating, maximal assistance with oral hygiene and was dependent for toileting, bathing,
dressing, personal hygiene, bed mobility, and transfers.
Review of the physician orders for Resident #34 revealed that on 06/17/24, Nurse Practitioner (NP) #1001
discontinued the order for Warfarin Sodium oral tablet 4 Milligrams (mg), give one tablet by mouth in the
morning for clot prevention and on 06/13/24, ordered Eliquis oral tablet 5 mg. (Apixaban), give one tablet by
mouth two times a day related to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, coagulation defect, unspecified.
Review of the care plan for Resident #34 revealed the facility is to notify the legal representative of new
orders or changes in status (nursing or social services).

resident's representative of the change from Coumadin to Eliquis on 06/13/24.

changed the anti-coagulant for Resident #34 from Coumadin to Eliquis on 06/13/24 due to inconsistencies
with the consulting laboratory's ability to obtain blood draws and provide PT-INR results needed for the
physician to monitor the Coumadin dosing.
Interview on 08/29/24 at 3:54 P.M. with Resident #34's family revealed the representative was not notified of
the medication change from Coumadin to Eliquis until around 07/11/24.
