family request to send the resident to the emergency department (ED) and the facility failed to ensure
emergency transport (ET) services were called timely to provide Resident #102 transportation to the ED
per family request. This finding affected one (Resident #102) of three residents reviewed for changes in
condition.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #102's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/20/23 and a discharge date of
06/01/23 with diagnoses including fracture of the left femur, muscle weakness and peripheral vascular
disease.

exhibited intact cognition.

at 5:16 P.M. revealed the nurse spoke with the daughter who requested a print out of the medications. The
daughter requested the blood pressure to be obtained which was 116/76 with a pulse of 76. The daughter
indicated she would like for Resident #102 to be checked for a urinary tract infection (UTI) and she was
informed the urinalysis (UA) results could take a day or two to get the results. The daughter was informed if
she felt the need to call ET services, she had the right but the nurse could not call ET services to pick up
the resident because she was sleeping and her vitals were stable. The daughter called ET services and the
resident was sent out to the ED.
Review of Resident #102's progress note dated 05/28/23 at 2:55 A.M. indicated the resident returned from
ED in stable condition with a diagnosis of acute cystitis without hematuria and dehydration. A new order for
Omnicef (antibiotic) 300 mg (milligrams) one tablet twice daily for ten days was obtained.
Interview on 06/22/23 at 11:05 A.M. with LPN #802 indicated Resident #102's daughter had requested the
resident go to the ED and the nurse told the daughter the resident was stable and if she wanted the
resident sent out to the ED she had to call ET services herself. LPN #802 did not update Resident #102's
physician of the family request to send the resident to the ED.

PICC lines need to be flushed with normal saline five to 10 cubic centimeters (cc's), followed by HepLock 3
cc, after each intermittent infusion, after discontinuing a continuous IV or every shift when not in use. If
flushing a PICC, inject a small amount of normal saline to establish patency, pause and gently pull back to
check for a blood return then continue with the flush protocol. When infusing intermittent drugs or
antibiotics, use the SASH method (saline, antibiotic/medication, saline and HepLock).
