Observation of Resident #61 on 09/19/23 at 9:30 AM without his compression hose, feet were swollen with
dry skin.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 09/18/23 at 10:36 AM with LVN E revealed Resident #61 will have compression hose put on
and he will take them off or refuse to have them on. According to LVN E, the last time he attempted to put
them on was yesterday morning, they could be in his top drawer, or he will put them in the laundry. LVN E
stated he was not aware of the risk involved with not having on the socks. LVN E stated Resident #61 does
frequently have swollen feet and takes 80 milligrams of Lasix. LVN E stated there was an active order in
place to have the compression hose on daily and removed at bedtime. LVN E stated it was facility policy to
follow doctor orders. LVN E stated nursing staff were responsible for ensuring to attempt to put the socks on
daily. LVN E stated nursing staff were responsible to document and notify the doctor if residents refuse the
order.
Interview on 09/19/23 at 3:35 PM with the DON revealed Resident #61's feet were usually swollen. The
DON stated Resident #61 did have an active order to wear compression hose. According to the DON,
Resident #61 did not always leave the compression hose on due to them feeling tight on his legs. The DON
stated he was not sure of the last time nursing staff had put the compression hose on Resident #61. The
DON stated he assisted Resident #61 at least two weeks ago to place on the hose. The DON stated he
expected staff to assist Resident #61 with the compression hose daily and as stated in the order. The DON
stated the charge nurse was responsible for initiating and administering the compression hose on a daily
basis. The DON stated not using the compression hose could place Resident #61 at risk of complications of
edema (swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in tissue). According to the DON, he expected staff to
properly document in resident charts anytime a resident was administered treatment, resident refused
treatment or a change in resident condition. The DON stated not accurately documenting resident treatment
would affect resident treatment goals and outcomes.
A policy regarding Treatment orders was requested; however, it was not provided prior to exit.
