Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident.
Based on a review of the facility's policy, clinical records review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to notify the physician of a change in the condition of a resident's urinary status for one of the three residents reviewed (Resident 39).
Findings include: A review of the facility's policy titled Change in Resident status Notification, revised on May 17, 2023, revealed that the charge nurse will notify the resident's physician or on-call physician when there has been a significant change in the resident physical/mental/emotional condition, and a need to alter the resident's medical treatment. Notification will be made promptly with the exemption of non-emergency incidents on the 11-7 shift. Notification of non-emergent incidents on the 11-7 shift may be passed on to the 7-3 shift for a morning notification. Clinical record review revealed Resident 39 had an Indwelling Urethral Catheter (A thin, flexible tube inserted into the bladder through the urethra to collect and drain urine) for diagnosis of urinary retention and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder. A review of the Resident laboratory report dated March 5, 2025, revealed a normal WBC (White Blood Cell count) result (Normal range 4.8-10.8). (a blood test that measures the number of white blood cells in your blood, helping to identify infections, inflammation, and other conditions.) A review of the nursing progress notes dated March 9, 2025, at 1:47 a.m., revealed that during the start of the shift, resident's family member reported feeling something was off with the resident. Further assessment revealed no urine output in the urine drainage bag, but the resident's brief was wet twice. The same note revealed that the catheter (tube) was outside the body more than normally should be. The same note revealed the following, Indwelling cath (catheter) removed and new 18Fr/10cc (size of the tube) placed with immediate frank red bloody urine, then odorous amber colored urine, ending with tan sludge - 1700 cc. The responsible party was notified. The review of the clinical records failed to reveal that the physician was notified of the significant change in the resident's urinary status and change in the condition of urine. A review of the physician's note dated March 13, 2025, at 4:55 p.m., revealed that during the visit, the resident was noted to be somnolent (sleepy, lethargic, drowsy), not as vocal as his baseline. The condition was discussed with the wife and nursing, urine, and blood work was ordered. A review of Resident 39's blood work dated March 15, 2025, revealed WBC was 21.6 and the urine had

(+) 3 Leucocytes (indicative of a urinary tract infection). Urine culture and sensitivity (test to determine the kind of bacteria causing the infection and the antibiotics that are effective against the bacteria) were pending. Clinical records review revealed that the physician was notified of the laboratory result and ordered to start the Resident with Macrobid (antibiotic) 100mg twice daily for seven days while waiting for the culture and sensitivity. The physician's order was followed. An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing on April 4, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. The DON confirmed that there was no documented evidence that the physician was notified when Resident 39 had 1700 cc of bloody, with tan sludge and odorous urine output on March 9, 2025. The facility failed to ensure physician was notified of Resident 39's significant change in urinary status resulting in a delay in treatment. 28 Pa Code 211.10(c) Patient care policies Previously cited 5/3/24 28 Pa.
