Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Based on resident interview, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that physicians' orders were implemented for three of 36 sampled residents. (Residents
402, 437, 450)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 402 had diagnoses that included congestive heart failure,
diabetes mellitus, and dementia. On December 22, 2023, the physician ordered that staff weigh the
resident daily and notify the physician if the weight was less than 150 pounds (lbs.) or greater than 160 lbs.
Review of Resident 402's weight records revealed that the resident weighed 163.3 lbs on March 30, 2024,
and 164 lbs. on March 31, 2024. There was no documented evidence in the clinical record that Resident
402's physician was notified of the weight changes.
In an interview on April 4, 2024, at 8:50 a.m., the ADON 1 confirmed that the physician was not notified of
Resident 402's weight changes.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 437 had diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease and
edema (fluid retention in the lower legs). On February 6, 2024, the physician ordered that staff apply
compression stockings (devices to relieve swelling in the legs) to both of the resident's lower legs while out
of bed to prevent edema. The resident was observed without compression stockings on his lower legs on
April 2, 2024, at 10:35 a.m., while out of bed in the solarium. The resident was observed again at 10:55
a.m., 12:18 p.m., and 3:05 p.m., without the compression stockings on while out of bed.
During an interview on April 4, 2024, at 1:24 p.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that the physician
order was not followed.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 450 had diagnoses that included a history of stroke, high
blood pressure, and dementia. On March 8, 2024, the physician ordered that staff administer 5 milligrams
(mg) of a blood pressure medication (amlodipine besylate) daily. Staff was to hold the medication if the
systolic blood pressure (SBP) (the top number on a blood pressure reading) was below 110 millimeters of
mercury (mm Hg) and to call the physician if the SBP was greater than 150 mm Hg. A review of the March
2024 Medication Administration Record revealed that staff administered the medication when the resident's
systolic blood pressure was over 150 mm Hg on March 17, 18, 22, 27, and 29, 2024. A review of the
resident's progress notes revealed a lack of evidence to support that a physician was notified of the
elevated SBP.
In an interview on April 4, 2024, at 8:52 a.m., ADON 1 confirmed that the physician was not notified of
Resident 450's elevated SBP readings between March 17 and 29, 2024.
