said there was no documentation of the admitting nurse contacting the family or physician regarding
Resident #2's order for Ambien. The DON said without documentation she did not know how it could be

ordering a new resident's medication from the pharmacy. RN E said if a medication did not come (including
a narcotic) they should pull it from the electronic dispensing system the facility had for emergencies and
when a medication was not yet received from the pharmacy if available. RN E said if a resident admitted for

newly admitted resident's medications were ordered. LVN H said if a medication did not come in from the
pharmacy, then the nurse should reach out to the provider. LVN H said if a newly admitted resident was at
the facility for respite and the family was providing their medications and the family did not bring a
medication the resident had an order for the nurse should reach out to the family and then the provider if
the family cannot supply the medication. LVN H said it was important for residents to receive their ordered
medications because of the diagnoses they have.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure laboratory services were obtained to meet the needs
for 1 of 5 (Resident #1) residents reviewed for laboratory services.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not ensure Resident #1 had a CBC (complete blood count-used to look at overall health and
find a wide range of conditions including anemia (condition in which the blood does not have enough
healthy red blood cells) and infection) and CMP (complete metabolic panel-test that checks the body's fluid
balance and levels of electrolytes) lab tests every 6 months as ordered.
This failure could place the residents at risk of not receiving lab services as ordered and suffering from an
undetected infection, decreased electrolyte balances, dehydration, and decreased kidney function.
Findings included:
1. Record review of the face sheet dated 4/18/24 indicated Resident #1 was an [AGE] year-old female,
re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including vitamin deficiency, protein-calorie malnutrition
(the state of inadequate intake of food occurring in the absence of inflammation, injury, or another condition
that elicits a systemic inflammatory response), adult failure to thrive (when an older adult has loss of
appetite, eats less than usual, loses weight, and is less active than normal), and anemia (lack of blood).
Record review of the physician orders dated 4/18/24 indicated Resident #1 had an order for a CBC and
CMP every 6 months in March and September starting 9/14/22. The physician orders indicated Resident #1
had an order for a valproic acid level (measures the amount of valproic acid in the blood) every three
months starting 1/9/24. The physician orders indicated Resident #1 had an order for a thyroid stimulating
hormone (TSH) level (a blood test that measure the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone) yearly in March

refuse lab draws, medications, and baths/showers. The care plan indicated Resident #1 had a nutritional
problem or potential nutritional problem related to dementia and swallowing.
Record review of the lab results dated 4/13/23 indicated Resident #1 had a TSH level drawn.
Record review of the lab results dated 5/16/23 indicated Resident #1 had a valproic acid level drawn.
Record review of the lab results dated 5/22/23 indicated Resident #1 had a TSH level drawn.
Record review of the lab results dated 5/30/23 indicated Resident #1 had a valproic acid level drawn.

Record review of the lab results dated 3/14/24 indicated Resident #1 had CBC, TSH, CMP levels drawn.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of all lab results for 2023 and 2024 indicated Resident #1 only had a CBS and CMP drawn
on 3/14/24.
During an interview on 4/16/24 at 9:30 a.m. the DON said Resident #1 sometimes refused labs. The DON
said she was reaching out to the lab to obtain their records for Resident #1.
During an interview on 4/17/24 at 1:53 p.m. the DON said she had talked to the lab and was informed by
the lab they did not have an order for Resident #1's CBC and CMP to be drawn in March and September of
2023. The DON said the lab told her they had requested from the previous DON a lab orders audit of
routine labs for 2023 at the end of 2022 and beginning of 2023. The DON said the lab told her they never
received the audit, so they did not draw the labs or have an order to draw the labs on Resident #1 in 2023.
During an interview on 4/18/24 at 10:03 a.m. LVN H said it was the nurse's responsibility to ensure routine
labs were drawn. LVN H said the importance of routine labs was to monitor for certain medication levels,
infection, and dehydration.
During an interview on 4/18/23 at 10:10 a.m. the DON said every morning in morning meeting they
reviewed to ensure labs that were supposed to have been drawn the previous day had been drawn. The
DON said if they find a lab was not drawn, they reach out to the lab to find out the reason why and get the
lab scheduled to be drawn. The DON said the importance of ensuring routine labs were drawn was
because if they had an order for a lab there must be a reason for it.
Record review of the facility's Laboratory Services and Reporting policy dated 11/2023 indicated, The
facility must provide or obtain laboratory services when ordered by a physician, physician assistant, nurse
practitioner, or clinical specialist according with state law .The facility is responsible for the timeliness of the
