was noted to be very hypertensive, was given a dose of hydralazine which unfortunately the Resident is
allergic to. Because of the elevated blood pressure as well as the vomiting resident was sent here to the
ED, on my initial exam resident is significantly hypertensive with blood pressure in the 250s, also
tachycardic in the 1 teens. It was not noted until later that there was an old clonidine patch on which would
explain why she is significantly hypertensive and very resistant to my ongoing therapy in addition to
tachycardic. I do suspect the resident is in clonidine withdrawal because of the lack of clonidine in the last 4
weeks.
Impression:
Hypertensive urgency/clonidine withdrawal.
During an interview on 12/17/24, at Resident Family Member R1 indicated, that she was notified of
Resident R1's high blood pressure when the facility called to see if the family wanted Resident R1 sent to
the hospital. RFM 1 indicated that she met her family member at the hospital and the hospital staff made
her aware; of a old clonidine patch, and she observed a clonidine patch on Resident R1 dated 11/8/24. That
Resident R1 has an allergy to hydralazine, and when she was at the hospital with her family member, she
was lethargic and did not seem to be communicating as well as usual.
During an interview on 12/18/24, at 2:25 p.m. Nursing Home Administrator and ADON (Associate Director
of Nursing) confirmed that the facility failed to follow the physician order, and failed to provide a clonidine
patch as prescribed for Resident R1, and failed to identify the physician order not being followed until
alterted by hospital for admission to the hospital for hypertension.
