provide treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice when they failed to
monitor Resident #2 who was on Eliquis (an anticoagulant medication) and had a decreasing hemoglobin
and did not complete a Physician recommended complete blood count (CBC) lab test. This resulted in harm
when Resident #2 had bloody tarry stool and was admitted to the hospital for three days with a hemoglobin
lab value (a test to detect anemia with a normal range of 11.5 to 15.4 g/dl) of 4.5 grams per dececiliter
(g/dl) upon hospital admission. Resident #2 had to receive three units of packed red blood cells and was
found to have a gastric ulcer that required clamping. This affected one (Resident #2) of three residents

Resident #2 is a [AGE] year old female who presents for a post-acute care visit following a recent
hospitalization for anemia and a gastrointestinal bleed. The resident was hospitalized last week due to
black, tarry stools and was diagnosed with a gastrointestinal bleed. Resident reports during the hospital
stay, she had two large ulcers in her stomach that were bleeding and required clamping. Resident's blood
count dropped to four, necessitating several blood transfusions. Resident #2 returned to the care facility on
10/10/24 and started on Protonix 40 mg twice a day. A follow-up with a gastrointestinal (GI) doctor is
planned. Resident reports feeling better since returning from the hospital but expresses frustration with the
care facility staff for not addressing her stomach pain complaints earlier. She mentioned having complained
about stomach pain for weeks prior to the hospitalization. Currently, the resident's stomach is a little sore,
and they feel the need to have a bowel movement.

Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/04/24 at 3:52 P.M. verified there was never an order
written on 08/14/24 for Resident #2 CBC and a CBC lab was not completed.
Telephone Interview with NP #15 on 11/04/24 at 4:14 P.M. revealed the note from 08/14/24 was read to her
and she stated she meant for Resident #2 to have a follow up CBC lab done in a month due to the
hemoglobin dropping and the increase of the ferrous sulfate medication. NP #15 was unsure of why it was
not completed. NP #15 was informed there was not an order written and she stated her intention was for
the lab to be drawn and she is not sure if she gave a verbal order for the CBC or wrote the order out. She
stated when she comes in the facility she usually writes out the order but sometimes they do not have the
slips. NP #15 could not recollect if she wrote a paper order for the CBC or gave a verbal order to the nurse.
NP #15 stated the standard of practice would be to draw a CBC lab in a month to monitor the medication
change and the hemoglobin level since the resident was on Eliquis and had the hemoglobin decrease.
Interview with LPN #22 on 11/04/24 at 4:35 P.M. revealed she worked 08/14/24 and put the order in the
electronic record to increase the ferrous sulfate for Resident #2. LPN #22 was unable to recollect whether
she received a verbal order from NP #15 or if NP #15 wrote the order. LPN #22 stated she input the order
in the electronic medical record as it was prescriber written so it should of been on paper. The Prescriber
Order paper order was unable to be located in the medical record and LPN #22 stated she might of marked
that in error and it could of been a verbal order. LPN #22 stated NP #15 usually writes her own paper
orders and the nurse will put them in the computer.
Review of Resident #2's paper medical record on 11/05/24 revealed no evidence of a telephone order
being written for ferrous sulfate to be increased, or the CBC lab to be drawn in a month.
Interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/05/24 at 12:50 P.M. revealed Resident #2 had two gastric
ulcers on 10/06/24 and they clamped them.
