**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide needed care and service for one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1), when:1. A change in condition was not recorded and reported to the Medical
Director (MD) when Resident 1 experienced a decrease in the frequency of her daily brief (type of adult
disposable underwear) changes, which was a significant indicator of decreased urine output. 2. A
laboratory blood test (labs - the process of analyzing a blood sample to measure specific substances) order
placed by the MD on [DATE], was not fulfilled, resulting in Resident 1's lab not being drawn as
instructed.These failures led to Resident 1 not receiving appropriate medical assessments and treatment,
ultimately resulting in her death on [DATE].Findings:During a review of the facility policy titled Change in a
Resident's Condition or Status, revised 11/2015, the policy indicated that: The facility will promptly notify the
resident, their attending physician, and their representative of any changes in the resident's medical or
mental condition and/or status. The Charge Nurse (CN) will notify the resident's attending or on-call
physician of significant changes in the resident's physical, emotional, or mental condition, or if there is a
need to transfer the resident to a hospital or treatment center. A Significant Change is defined as a decline
or improvement in the resident's status that will not resolve without staff intervention or standard clinical
interventions and impacts more than one area of the resident's health. Before notifying the physician or
healthcare provider, the nurse will make detailed observations and gather relevant information, including
using the SBAR communication tool (Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. It
provides a structured, concise, and standardized way for healthcare professionals to communicate
important patient information.) The CN will document changes in the resident's medical or mental condition
in the resident's medical record. If a significant change occurs, a comprehensive assessment of the
resident's condition will be conducted, and any changes will be reported to the Director of Nursing Services
to ensure the resident's medical record is updated accordingly.During a review of Resident 1's admission
record, the admission record indicated that Resident 1 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that
included type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar), unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental
abilities), hypertensive chronic kidney disease (a condition where high blood pressure damages the
kidneys, causing them to lose function over time), need for assistance with personal care. Resident 1 was
not her healthcare decision maker. 1. During a review of Resident 1's record titled Bladder Elimination,

Resident 1 was admitted to the hospital with the following diagnoses: Septic shock: A life-threatening
condition that occurs when an infection spreads throughout the body and causes a severe drop in blood
pressure. Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia: A life-threatening condition where the lungs cannot
adequately provide oxygen to the body. Profound hyperkalemia: A life-threatening condition where blood
potassium levels are dangerously high, potentially causing fatal abnormal heart rhythm. Acute kidney injury
with anuric renal failure: A condition where the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to function properly, no
urine output whatsoever. Resident 1's BUN profoundly elevated at 287, emergent hemodialysis (a
life-saving treatment for acute kidney failure) was performed. Hypovolemic Hypernatremia: a condition
where there is a loss of both water and sodium, but more water is lost than sodium, resulting in a higher
concentration of sodium in the blood and a decrease in overall body fluid volume Metabolic acidosis/Lactic
acidosis: a condition where there is too much acid in the blood, occurring when the body either produces
too much acid or the kidneys cannot remove enough of it. Lactic acidosis is a specific type of metabolic
acidosis caused by an excess buildup of lactic acid in the blood, often due to insufficient oxygen delivery to
the body's tissues.Hospital MD also indicated in the assessment and plan, Septic shock, admit to intensive
care unit (ICU - a special hospital area for patients with life-threatening illnesses who require constant
monitoring and advanced life support), will be a miracle if this patient survives.During a review of Resident
