The NP said the suggested treatments would have been ineffective by Saturday ([DATE]) and sending Resident #1 to the hospital for a higher level of care was the best treatment option at the time. The NP stated she may have requested a COVID test if demonstrated temperature and/or cough. A record review of the facility's policy titled, Significant Change in Condition, Response, revised [DATE], reflected 1. If, at any time, it is recognized by any one of the team members that the condition or care needs of the resident have changed, the Licensed Nurse or Nurse Supervisor should be made aware 4.
