During an interview on 08/05/24 at 10:05AM, the ADON said the typical procedure for entering the hospital discharge orders was that the admitting nurse would put in the orders from the hospital after visit summary into the EMR and then the ADON was supposed to review them. She said she was likely the person that put in the orders, and it was an oversight. During an interview on 08/05/24 at 10:13AM, LVN A said she was the nurse that admitted Resident #1. She could not remember if she put the hospital orders in the EMR or if the ADON did. She said the typical procedure was that either the ADON or admitting nurse would put in the orders from the hospital. She said it just depended on who was free at the time of the admission. During an interview on 08/05/24 at 10:24AM MD B said he was the attending physician for Resident #1. He said he expected the nurses to enter the orders as they were ordered from the hospital after visit summary. He said he thought it was a transcription error. He said there was not a difference from the oral to the G tube order. He said no one called him to get the order changed. He said he did not change the hospital discharge order. During an interview on 08/05/24 at 10:30AM the ADM said his expectation was for the nurse to reach out to the doctor and ask for clarification if they were unsure about the order, especially if the order was for by mouth and the resident took medications by g-tube.
