Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Record review of Resident #27 revealed an admission date of 10/10/23 and a discharge to the hospital on [DATE]. The resident had pertinent diagnoses of: non pressure chronic ulcer of skin, squamous cell carcinoma of face, protein calories malnutrition, cognitive communication deficit, difficulty in walking, history of pulmonary embolism, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart failure, malignant melanoma of face, and vascular dementia without behaviors. Review of the 07/15/24 quarterly five day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment revealed Resident #27 is moderately cognitively impaired and used a manual walker and wheelchair to aid in mobility. Review of the 02/08/24 surgical pathology report revealed Resident #27 left sided facial biopsy came back as Basal Celll Carcinoma nodular and infiltrative types. Review of the 03/04/24 Dermatology Visit Note revealed Resident has a large, neglected tumor on left temple/face. Surgery would be incredibly morbid and I don't think is a reasonable option in this case, and patient voices strong desire to avoid any cutting. Radiation is also not ideal here given size of tumor and proximity to the left orbital. Discussed the use of an oral hedgehog inhibitor in this case. Resident #27 has a difficult social family situation as her power of attorney recently had a serious stroke and is apparently incapacitated and currently going through the process of getting a court appointed power of attorney. I think we need to do something about this tumor as it is getting infected recurrently and is painful and will only get worse in the near future. Discussed the risks and benefits of Erivedge and I answered all questions to the best of my ability. I think the potential benefits here outweigh risks. Will look to start Erivedge and check labs. Review of the medical record revealed on 04/01/24 a patient consent form was filled out for assistance with acquiring the Erivedge drug from Genentech. Review of the Progress Notes dated 04/23/24 revealed nurse followed up with dermatologist and now awaiting on application to be filed for assistance for medication. Review of a hospital record dated 07/12/24 revealed the Resident #27 has a chronic left facial
