**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, resident and staff interview, and review of facility policies, the facility failed to ensure
the physician and dialysis center were notified of a change in a resident's condition. This affected one
(Resident #15) of one resident reviewed for dialysis. The facility identified only one resident receiving
dialysis. The facility census was 54.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #15's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/22/19. Medical diagnoses
included aftercare for fracture left femur, hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease with heart failure,
dependence on renal dialysis, rheumatoid arthritis, and insomnia. Review of the resident's Minimum Data
Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed mild impairment in cognition. The resident received anticoagulant
medication three days during the assessment period.
Review of the resident's physician's orders revealed an order dated 05/22/19 for hemodialysis Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday. On 05/23/19, an order was written to monitor for signs and symptoms of bleeding
and increased or abnormal bruising, and to notify physician if symptoms occur. The resident had an order
dated 06/14/19 for clopidogrel (blood thinner) and an order dated 06/20/19 for apixaban (anticoagulant).
Review of the resident's dialysis care plan dated 06/14/19 revealed interventions included coordinating care
with the dialysis center. If bleeding from shunt site, apply pressure, call physician. If excessive bleeding, call
nine-one-one (911). Review of the resident's care plan dated 06/20/19 for resident's risk for excessive
bleeding and bruising related to medications included interventions to notify the physician of abnormal
bruising and or bleeding.
Review of the resident's nursing notes dated 08/22/19 revealed the resident was sent to the hospital due to
uncontrolled bleeding from her right arm arteriovenous (AV) fistula following dialysis. The resident returned
to the facility on [DATE]. There were no further notes indicating bleeding issues until 09/04/19 at 4:58 A.M.
The note revealed the resident called the nurse in to look at her right arm. She had pulled off her cotton ball
and tape from dialysis and it was bleeding. Bruit and thrill were present. The area was cleaned and a
band-aid was applied. Approximately an hour later, the resident called the nurse back in and the bleeding
had not stopped. The nurse documented she applied and island dressing and wrapped kerlix around to
apply pressure. She rechecked the resident at 4:30 A.M. and the bleeding had stopped. On 09/04/19 at
5:26 P.M. it was documented the resident continued to have excess bleeding from fistula at this time. This

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, medical record review, staff and resident interview, and review of a facility policy, the facility
failed to observe a resident during medication administration, resulting in unsupervised medications. This
affected one randomly observed Resident (#25) during the first stage of the survey process. This also had
the potential to affect one Resident (#45) whom the facility identified as confused and independently
ambulatory on the 300 hall. The facility census was 54.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #25's medical record revealed an admission date of 06/07/19. Medical diagnoses
included encephalopathy, chronic pain, hypertension, osteoarthritis, and protein calorie malnutrition.
Review of the resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed mild impairment in
cognition.
Review of the resident's physician's orders revealed an order dated 06/07/19 for calcium carbonate
(antacid) chewable 200 milligrams (mg) orally three times daily, and orders dated 08/14/19 for vitamin D3
(supplement) 2,000 units orally once daily, and pantoprazole (medication to decrease the amount of acid
produced in the stomach) delayed release 40 mg orally twice daily.
Observation of Resident #25 on 09/03/19 at 9:20 A.M. revealed the resident was sitting in her recliner in her
room. She had three medications sitting in a pill cup on her bedside table. At the time of the observation,
the resident stated she did not have water so she was waiting to take them.
Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #220 on 09/03/19 at 9:23 A.M. verified Resident #25's medications
were left on her bedside table. She stated the resident would not always take her medications. She stated
the medications were pantoprazole 40 mg, vitamin D3 2,000 units, and calcium carbonate 200 mg.
Review of a facility policy titled Medication Administration-General Guidelines revised 01/2017 revealed the
resident is always observed after administration to ensure that the dose was completely ingested. If only a
partial dose is ingested, this is noted on the Medication Administration Record, and action is taken as
appropriate.

record review and staff interview the facility failed to follow physician orders regarding catheter care for
residents. This affected one resident, (Resident #42) of one reviewed for catheter care. The current census
was 54.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #42 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses
included surgical aftercare of digestive system, diabetes type two, depression, Raynaud's disease, anxiety,
reversible cerebrovascular constriction syndrome, neurogenic bladder, urine retention, aphasia, and pleural
effusion.
Review of the Minimum Data Set, (MDS), quarterly assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had
intact cognition and had an indwelling Foley catheter.
Further review of the medical record revealed on 06/11/19 and 08/08/19 the resident was seen by a
urologist for the indwelling catheter. Per the urology notes the resident was to have the indwelling catheter
changed every six weeks.
Review of progress notes dated 06/11/19 revealed the nurse documented Resident #42 went to an
appointment with urology. Per the note the nurse documented the new orders received were to continue
Foley catheter with every 6 week change.
Review of Resident #42's physician orders revealed on 07/17/19 the order documented the indwelling
catheter was to be changed based on clinical signs of infection as needed. No further orders regarding
changing the catheter every six weeks was noted in the orders
Interview on 09/04/19 at 8:09 A.M. with Resident #42 revealed she was aware she had an indwelling
catheter. Per Resident #42 she had no discomfort from the catheter but the resident stated she was unsure
when the last time the catheter had been changed.
Interview on 09/05/19 at 3:04 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Regional Nurse #200
revealed the resident's urology notes had not been received by the facility. Per Regional Nurse #200 when a
resident has an indwelling catheter and there are no specific physician order for catheter changes there
was a standard order to change only when signs of infection were noted. Regional Nurse #200 verified
there was a note on 06/11/19 from the nurse regarding the order to change the catheter every six weeks
and the order had not been transcribed into Resident #42's treatment administration record.
