Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice resulted in a delay of obtaining appropriate instructions from the physician for proper management.
Findings: During a record review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 2/1/2025, with diagnoses that included urinary tract infection (UTI- an infection in the bladder/urinary tract), age related osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones due to lack of calcium and Vitamin D) with current pathological vertebra fracture (broken bone caused by disease) and unspecified (unconfirmed) dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a record review of Resident 1's Change of Condition (COC), dated 2/1/2025, timed at 10:20 p.m., the COC indicated Resident 1 was found sitting on the floor mat. The COC indicated on 2/1/2025, at 10:20 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) notified Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) that Resident 1 was sitting on the floor mat. The COC indicated the AP was notified on 2/1/2025, at 10:20 p.m., and the AP ordered a stat (immediately) left leg X-ray (a diagnostic imaging test to create pictures of the inside of the body). During a record review of Resident 1's Physician Order, dated 2/1/2025, the Physician order indicated an order for stat left leg X-ray. During a record review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 2/2/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decisions were moderately impaired. During a record review of Resident 1's Interdisciplinary Team (IDT-a coordinated group of experts from several different fields who work together) Fall Risk, dated 2/5/2025, the IDT indicated on 2/2/2025 at 6 a.m., LVN 2 notified AP that stat X-ray was not done. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/13/2025, at 9:53 a.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), Resident 1's COC, dated 2/1/2025, was reviewed. RN 1 stated if AP ordered stat X-ray and was not done within two hours, staff should have called to notify the AP. RN 1 stated the importance of notifying the AP within two hours was to get further orders as soon as possible.
