The resident was oriented, able to make needs known, and had no complaints or concerns.Review of Resident #145's physician orders dated 03/25/25 indicated for routine laboratory testing to include a CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) and for a post-operative orthopedic appointment on 04/01/25.Review of the Nurse Practitioner (NP) progress note dated 03/25/25 revealed Resident #145 had no acute pain and routine laboratory testing was pending. Review of a laboratory test collected on 03/26/25 revealed a high BUN (blood urea nitrogen) level and low GFR (glomerular filtration rate) which both values were used to assess kidney function.Review of the NP progress note dated 03/27/25 revealed Resident #145 denied any changes with bladder function. The laboratory test collected 03/26/25 which resulted in a low GFR indicated stage four chronic kidney disease, so nephrology was to be consulted for evaluation.Review of a laboratory test collected on 03/27/25 again revealed Resident #145 had a high BUN level and low GFR. Review of a nursing progress note dated 03/27/25 revealed the nephrologist was contacted regarding Resident #145's kidney function, and ordered an ultrasound of the kidneys, a bladder scan with PVR (post-void residual) [a measure of the amount of urine remaining in the bladder immediately after urination] and a urinalysis with culture and sensitivity (UA/ CS) [to test for a urinary tract infection] due to the elevated BUN level.Review of Resident #145's physician order dated 03/27/25 revealed to collect a urine specimen for UA/CS, a bladder scan with PVR, and an ultrasound of the kidneys due to the elevated BUN level.

Resident #145 did not have an indwelling urinary catheter.Review of a nursing progress note dated 03/28/25 revealed Resident #145's ultrasound of the bladder and kidneys was completed, including the PVR which resulted in 703 milliliters (mL) of urine left in the bladder after voiding. The nephrologist ordered a Foley catheter (an indwelling urinary catheter) to be inserted.Review of Resident #145's physician order dated 03/28/25 indicated to insert a Foley catheter due to PVR of 703 mL and to change the foley catheter and drainage bag as needed every shift. The corresponding TAR for March 2025 indicated the Foley catheter was inserted on 03/28/25 night shift but no urine specimen had yet been obtained as ordered.

There was no documented evidence of urinary discomfort or communication with the physician. The corresponding TAR for March 2025 indicated the urine specimen was collected on 03/29/25 night shift.Review of the electronic medication administration note dated 03/30/25 at 9:27 P.M. indicated Resident #145 continued to have no Foley catheter in place. There was no indication the physician was contacted.Review of a primary care physician progress note dated 03/31/25 revealed Resident #145 denied blood in the urine, difficulty urinating, and had no frequent urination. There was no evidence in the documentation of the physician being aware of the nephrologist's orders for an indwelling urinary catheter to be placed, or that there was a delay in executing those orders. Review of a nursing progress note dated 03/31/25 at 3:09 P.M. revealed Resident #145 had a Foley catheter placed by order of a NP due to retention. The note referenced Resident #145 tolerated the Foley catheter insertion well, having 1500 mL of urine released with some hematuria (blood in the urine) observed. The NP was made aware, and a urine culture was pending.Review of Resident #145's physician orders dated 03/31/25 indicated to insert a Foley catheter to continuous drain for a diagnosis of urinary retention, perform Foley catheter care every shift and as needed, and to change the Foley catheter as needed. The corresponding TAR for March 2025 indicated the Foley catheter was placed on 03/31/25 night shift. Review of the nursing assistant voiding documentation for Resident #145 from 03/27/25 to 03/31/25 revealed the resident was either incontinent using a brief or was continent while using a urinal or the bathroom.Interview on 07/02/25 at 9:32 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #444 who was a Unit Manager confirmed Resident #145's urinalysis ordered on 03/27/25 was not sent to the laboratory until 03/31/25. RN #444 confirmed the urine was not collected until 03/29/25 which was a Saturday, and the laboratory did not pick up specimens on weekends. RN #444 verified Resident #145 had an order for a Foley catheter to be placed on 03/28/25, and although it was signed off as inserted, it was not placed until 03/31/25.Interview on 07/07/25 at 8:39 A.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) verified on 03/28/25, the nurse who received the initial order to place a Foley catheter in Resident #145 had passed the information on to the next shift which was night shift. The night shift nurse indicated the resident voided throughout the night, either by incontinence or use of a urinal, so the physician was contacted to inquire whether the Foley catheter was needed to no avail. The DON confirmed there were no additional attempts to contact the physician recorded in Resident #145's record. From 03/28/25 until the Foley catheter was placed on 03/31/25, staff reported Resident #145 as having no complaints regarding voiding. When RN #444 returned to work, she contacted the NP and inserted Resident #145's Foley catheter. Review of an undated nurse shift report sheet revealed for Resident #145 an order was placed for a foley catheter; however, the resident was using a urinal, and the doctor was called with no answer.Interview on 07/07/25 at 9:20 A.M. with NP #418 revealed Resident #145 was referred to nephrology because of abnormal laboratory values, but denied being aware of the need for a Foley catheter due to urinary retention until 03/31/25.Review of a written witness statement of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #396 undated for 03/28/25 indicated placement of the foley catheter was signed off in error, and Resident #145 was voiding using a urinal, so the physician was contacted to clarify if a foley catheter was needed due to the resident voiding, but there was no answer. It was written onto the nurse report sheet.Review of a written witness statement of RN #433 dated 07/02/25 for 03/27/25 indicated speaking to the nephrologist regarding Resident #145's abnormal laboratory values and new orders received for an ultrasound of the kidneys with a bladder scan for PVR and to obtain a UA/CS. The statement indicated the oncoming shift nurse was notified.

Verbal orders are accepted but will be input into the electronic medical record by the nurse as soon as practicable. The nurse that takes the physician order will be responsible for executing the order or provide for the safe hand-off to the next nurse. The policy further explained that outside vendors, including laboratory services, should be contacted to execute the medical order. Review of the undated policy, Notification of Change in Condition, revealed the facility must consult with the resident's medical practitioner when there was a change requiring such notification. Circumstances requiring notification included a significant change in the resident's physical, mental or psychosocial condition, circumstances that required a need to alter treatment which may include a new treatment, or discontinuation of a current treatment. The medical practitioner was to be promptly notified of significant changes in condition, and the medical record must reflect the notification, response and interventions implemented to address the resident's condition. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00164261 (1321592). Event ID: Facility ID: 366008 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 5
