RN #394 verified the Ativan order dated 09/14/22 listed the order end date as indefinite and stated it was appropriate for an as needed medication to be continued beyond 14 days if the physician provided rationale to continue the medication. RN #394 stated the physician completed paper notes that were then scanned into the electronic medical record (EMR). RN #394 confirmed Resident #19's EMR did not contain any physician notes providing rationale to continue Ativan past 14 days. Review of Resident #19's hard chart medical record, with RN #394, confirmed Resident #19 was last seen by the physician on 09/12/22 and the hard chart medical record contained no information the physician had provided rationale to continue the order for Ativan beyond 14 days.

Required action of the attending physician to extend the order included documentation of the rationale for the extended time period included in the medical record and to indicate a specific duration.

This affected one (Resident #15) of one resident reviewed for dialysis. The facility identified one resident who received dialysis. The facility census was 45. Findings include: Review of Resident #15's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/24/22. Diagnoses included kidney failure. Review of Resident #15's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #15 was moderately cognitively impaired. Resident #15 was receiving dialysis at the time of the review. Review of Resident #15's care plan revised 05/05/22 revealed supports and interventions for self-care deficit, risk for pain, and dialysis. Interventions for dialysis included to check/monitor for bruit and thrill each shift. Review of Resident #15's physician orders dated 08/20/22 revealed an order to complete pre-dialysis Communication Form in the electronic medical record one time a day on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for dialysis. On 08/27/22, an order to complete post dialysis form every evening shift Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for dialysis. Review or Resident #15's assessments revealed Pre-Dialysis Communication Forms were completed on 09/10/22, 09/15/22, and 09/29/22 by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #281 and indicated Resident #15's dialysis fistula was checked for thrill and bruit and both were present. Review of Resident #15's assessments revealed Post Dialysis Forms were completed on 09/01/22, 09/10/22, 09/13/22, 09/15/22, 09/27/22, 09/29/22, and 10/11/22 by Registered Nurse (RN) #345 and indicated Resident #15's dialysis fistula was checked for thrill and bruit and both were present. Interview on 10/12/22 at 11:59 A.M. with LPN #283 revealed Resident #15 had a port for dialysis and not a fistula. The nurses monitored the area for any redness or drainage and documented that in the electronic medical record. LPN #283 reported dialysis ports were not checked for thrill and bruit, only fistulas would be checked. Observation on 10/13/22 at 8:13 A.M. of Resident #15 and her dialysis site found Resident #15 had a port and not a fistula. Corresponding interview with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #288 verified Resident #15 had a port and not a fistula. Interview on 10/13/22 at 10:45 A.M. with LPN #281 verified she completed Resident #15's pre-dialysis assessments on 09/10/22, 09/15/22, and 09/29/22 and should not have documented a thrill and bruit as Resident #15 had a port and not a fistula. A port was checked for redness and infection and a fistula was checked for thrill and bruit. Interview on 10/13/22 at 2:45 P.M. with RN #345 verified she completed the post dialysis forms on 09/01/22, 09/10/22, 09/13/22, 09/15/22, 09/27/22, 09/29/22, and 10/11/22 and indicated Resident #15 had thrill and bruit present for her fistula.
