F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1), the facility failed to notify and consult with the physician when Resident 1 had a change in condition. This failure had potentially resulted in delayed management of a change in health status. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report dated 3/1/22, the Order Summary Report indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included fracture of the right thigh, elevated white blood cell count (WBC, blood component that fights infection), and diabetes mellitus. During a telephone interview on 8/30/23 at 8:13 a.m. with Family Member (FM) 1, FM 1 stated there was a big change in Resident 1's health condition during a visit at the facility on 3/18/22 that licensed nurses failed to see. FM 1 stated Resident 1 had refused to eat and was lethargic (sluggish). During an interview and concurrent record review on 8/30/23 at 12:06 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1's Progress Notes dated 3/16/22 were reviewed. The Progress Notes indicated, on 3/16/22, at 1:56 p.m., Resident 1 refused the 1 p.m. scheduled medication. The progress notes also indicated Resident 1 reported not feeling well and that Resident 1 had stated feeling nauseous. Another progress note, also dated 3/16/22, at 2:10 p.m., indicated Resident 1 had refused weight assessment because [Resident 1] feels sick and not willing to get OOB (out of bed). DON stated Resident 1's feeling nauseated and not being able to get out of bed for the entire shift was a change of condition that warranted physician notification. DON stated Resident 1's clinical record did not indicate a physician notification. Further review of the progress notes indicated, on 3/17/22, Resident 1 continued to refuse to get out of bed. On 3/18/22, the progress notes indicated Resident 1's representative was at bedside and requested for Resident 1 to be transferred to the hospital via 911 after Resident 1 refused to eat dinner and was observed with confusion. During further review of Resident 1's Progress Notes from 3/16/22 to 3/18/22, the progress notes did not indicate Resident 1 or Resident 1's representatives were notified of the change in condition. During a review of Resident 1's Hospital Discharge Summary Notes dated 8/31/23, the Discharge Summary Notes indicated diagnoses that included severe sepsis with acute organ dysfunction, acute UTI (urinary tract infection), acute renal failure, metabolic acidosis (when too much acid builds up in the body, causes include build up of toxins and kidney failure, symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fast (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/30/23 at 1:23 p.m., with Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 1's Physical Therapy Encounter Note dated 3/16/22 was reviewed. DOR stated Resident 1 consistently participated with therapy until 3/16/22. The Physical Therapy Encounter Note indicated Resident 1 initially refused therapy due to nausea and abdominal discomfort. Resident 1 reported a vomiting episode earlier that morning. During a telephone interview on 8/30/23 at 12:50 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated if a resident who was admitted to the facility for rehabilitation/therapy was not seen walking around the facility because the resident was not feeling well, was nauseous and unable to eat, it should be identified as a change of condition that warrant physician notification. During a telephone interview on 9/8/23 at 1:07 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated Resident 1's clinical record did not indicate the attending physician was notified of Resident 1's change in condition. LVN 1 stated, if the attending physician was notified, further assessment would have been requested by the physician to identify appropriate intervention. LVN 1 stated, being the liaison for the attending physician, the facility's communication process was to notify LVN 1 of any change in condition, and LVN 1 notifies the attending physician and obtains further instructions that will then be given back to whoever is the resident's charge nurse.

F 0757 Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs. 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, for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1), the facility failed to ensure Resident 1 was administered doxycycline (a prescription antibiotic, treats infection) with adequate monitoring of adverse effects from the medication.

Findings: During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report dated 3/1/22, the Order Summary Report indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included fracture of the right thigh and elevated white blood cell count (WBC, blood component that fights infection).

During a review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for March 2022, the MAR indicated Resident 1 received doxycycline twice daily from 3/1/22 to 3/18/22. The MAR did not indicate licensed staff monitored Resident 1 for adverse effects. During a telephone interview on 8/30/23 at 8:13 a.m. with Family Member (FM) 1, FM 1 stated there was a big change in Resident 1's health condition during a visit at the facility on 3/18/22 that licensed nurses failed to see. FM 1 stated Resident 1 had refused to eat and was lethargic (sluggish). During a review of the Emergency Department Note dated 3/18/22, the Emergency Department Note indicated Resident 1 presented to the ED with nausea, vomiting and loose stools. During a review of Resident 1's Hospital Discharge Summary Notes dated 4/6/23, the Discharge Summary Notes indicated diagnoses that included severe sepsis with acute organ dysfunction, acute UTI (urinary tract infection), acute renal failure, metabolic acidosis (when too much acid builds up in the body, causes include build up of toxins and kidney failure, symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fast breathing and lethargy) and delirium (confused thinking and lack of awareness to surroundings) due to metabolic encephalopathy (disorder affecting brain function, caused by other severe health concerns like infection or organ failure). During an interview and concurrent record review on 8/30/23 at 12:06 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1's Progress Notes dated 3/16/22 was reviewed. The Progress Note indicated, on 3/16/22, at 1:56 p.m., Resident 1 refused the 1 p.m. scheduled medication. The progress notes also indicated Resident 1 reported not feeling well and that Resident 1 had stated feeling nauseous.

F 0757 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/30/23 at 1:40 p.m. with DON, Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. DON stated Resident 1's care plans did not address antibiotic use and its adverse effects. DON stated, when a resident is on antibiotics, especially doxycycline which is known to cause abdominal discomfort, the care plan should identify which adverse reactions the licensed staff should be watching out for and when to notify the physician. Residents Affected - Few During a telephone interview on 9/8/23 at 3:16 p.m. with DON, DON stated there was no facility policy and procedure to address antibiotic use, but the procedure was for the charge nurse to document in the clinical record any signs and symptoms of adverse reactions from the antibiotic. DON stated documentation should cover the whole course of the antibiotic therapy. During a review of Daily Med (a nationally recognized publication of the National Institute of Health in the U.S. National Library of Medicine and includes references to drug information submitted to the Food and Drug Administration), when giving doxycycline to residents, adequate amounts of fluid along with capsule and tablet forms of drugs is recommended to wash down the drugs and reduce the risk of esophageal irritation and ulceration. Adverse reactions to doxycycline include anorexia (an eating disorder that could cause significant health risks), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and rare instances of esophagitis (inflammation of the muscular tube that delivers food from the mouth to the stomach [esophagus]) and esophageal ulcerations.
