The records further indicated an ultrasound (type of test) of Resident 1's lower legs was conducted and indicated he had venous (veins) swelling and decreased arterial (artery) blood flow to the right leg. On July 7, 2025, at 9:45 a.m., a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 1's records were conducted with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1. LVN 1 stated after Resident 1's positive DVT diagnosis on May 1, 2025, it was standard care to monitor for pain, swelling, temperature changes, skin discoloratiion, and to check pedal pulses. LVN 1 stated there was no documentation in the resident's records these assessments were done for Resident 1. LVN 1 stated, lack of monitoring could result in unrecognized impaired blood flow, which could result to discoloration or necrosis (death of body tissue). On July 7, 2025, at 2:30 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Nurse Practitioner (NP). The NP stated, clinical best practice after a DVT diagnosis, was to monitor the affected area for swelling, pain, changes in color and pedal pulses and to report abnormal findings to the physician. On July 8, 2025, at 4:15 p.m., a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 1's records were conducted with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2. LVN 2 stated the facility protocol after a DVT diagnosis included monitoring for temperature, swelling, pain, and checking pedal pulses. LVN 2 stated, there was no documentation of monitoring for Resident 1. LVN 2 stated staff would not be able to identify if there was blood flow to the lower extremity which could lead to discoloration or tissue damage. On July 8, 2025, at 4:50 p.m., a concurrent interview and record review were conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated Resident 1 was tested positive for DVT on May 1, 2025. The DON stated the expectation for licensed nurses to monitor and document signs of circulatory issues, including swelling, discoloration, and pulse checks, and to notify the physician if abnormalities were found. The DON stated, there was no documentation that Resident 1's right lower extremity was monitored. The DON further stated, without monitoring, this could result in serious consequence such as tissue necrosis. The DON stated the facility did not have a policy for DVT management but stated its facility's standards of practice to assess and monitor accordingly for DVT follow up care for residents.
