This affected one (#35) of three residents reviewed for dignity. The facility census was 105. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #35 revealed an admission date of 07/22/21 with diagnoses including multiple sclerosis and dementia without behavioral disturbance.

Resident #35 gasped when she saw the blood and said it hurt her just to see that, and she was glad she didn't have to get stuck with a needle. LPN #875 cleaned Resident #38's finger off and left the table. Interview on 04/04/23 at 8:40 A.M. with LPN #875 confirmed she obtained consent from Resident #38 to have her blood sugar taken at the table but she had not asked Resident #35, resident's tablemate how she felt about the procedure occurring at the breakfast table.

RN #500 confirmed the facility called the doctor to verify resident's admitting orders but did not report the high pain level to the doctor and/or request additional options for pain management. RN #500 confirmed there was a delay in being able to pull oxycodone from the emergency supply because they had to wait until the pharmacy gave the authorization to pull the medication. RN #500 confirmed Resident #106 received oxycodone at 3:25 P.M. but did not receive anything else for pain sooner, including non-pharmacological interventions, because nothing else was ordered. Interview on 04/05/23 at 1:18 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed the facility did not have a pain management policy, and the facility assessed residents for pain on a daily basis and managed pain based on input from the attending physician and based on physician orders.

F 0757 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few resident dated 04/03/23 which had not been addressed. Physician gave an order for a stat PT/INR and to hold Coumadin until results are received. Physician also noted if nurses are unable to reach the nurse practitioner (NP) they should call the attending physician or the facility medical director. Review of nurse progress note for Resident #36 dated 04/05/23 timed at 6:25 P.M. revealed the nurse was contacted by lab that blood that was drawn today for PT/INR was hemolyzed. Nurse contacted NP #885 and she gave an order to redraw blood in the morning on 04/06/23. Review of the nurse progress note for Resident #36 dated 04/06/23 timed at 9:37 A.M. revealed lab had not come out yet to draw blood for PT/INR for resident. Interview on 04/05/23 at 12:35 P.M. with CN #880 confirmed Resident #36 should have had a PT/INR drawn on 03/06/23 per physician's routine order but this did not occur due to an oversight/error. CN #880 confirmed PT/INR drawn on 04/03/23 for Resident #36 was high with an INR at 3.2. CN #880 confirmed there was no documentation of physician notification of the abnormal lab results. CN #880 confirmed Resident #36's April 2023 MAR indicates Coumadin was administered at 9:00 P.M. on 04/04/23 and the INR recorded at the time of administration was 2.3 which was the INR result from 03/20/23, not 04/03/23. Interview on 04/05/23 at 1:16 P.M. with CN #880 confirmed she notified the attending physician of Resident #36's high INR result on 04/03/23. CN #880 confirmed she notified the physician that agency LPN #890 administered seven mg of Coumadin to resident at 9:00 P.M. on 04/03/23. Physician gave order for the resident to have a stat PT/INR drawn and to hold Coumadin until results were received. Physician said if NP did not respond, staff should call him or the facility Medical Director. CN #880 confirmed she spoke with the nurse supervisor on 04/03/23, LPN #800 who confirmed she had faxed the high PT/INR results to NP #885 three times on 04/03/23 but did not receive a response.

LPN #800 confirmed she did not document the high INR in Resident #36's record until 04/05/23. LPN #800 confirmed she verbally told the agency nurse to wait to give the Coumadin until they heard back from the doctor, but she did not document any of this. Review of the facility policy titled Coumadin Administration dated 01/26/21 revealed Coumadin will be administered by licensed nurses and laboratory monitoring will be completed and dosage adjustments will be made according to physician's order. Review of online resource Medscape at https://reference.medscape.com/drug/coumadin-jantoven-warfarin-342182#5 revealed Coumadin had a black box warning, because the medication could cause major or fatal bleeding particularly with a higher dose resulting in a higher INR. Risk factors for bleeding include high intensity of anticoagulation (INR greater than four), age [AGE] years or older, highly variable INR's, history of gastrointestinal bleeding, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, serious heart disease, anemia, malignancy, trauma, renal insufficiency, concomitant drugs, and long duration of Coumadin therapy. Regular monitoring of INR should be performed on all treated patients, and those at high risk of bleeding may benefit from more frequent INR monitoring. Careful dose adjustment to desired INR's should be made. Patients should be instructed about prevention measures to minimize the risk of bleeding and to immediately report any signs or symptoms of bleeding to their physician.
