F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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, the facility failed to immediately consult with the physician and notify the resident representative when the resident experienced significant change in the resident's physical status (a deterioration in health status either life-threatening conditions or clinical complications) for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #5) reviewed for a change of condition, in that: -The facility failed to notify the doctor when there was a change of condition with Resident #5's urine which had turned purple. -On 9/30/2024, Resident #5 was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. Resident #5's change of condition was recognized by the nurses at the facility, on 10/5/2024. Resident #5 was not given antibiotics to treat her UTI until 10/8/2024. She was not sent to the hospital until 10/9/2024. The doctor was never notified of her change of condition until 10/8/2024 and on 10/8/2024 she was diagnosed with purple urine syndrome (a rare condition that causes the urine collection bag to turn purple or blue due to a urinary tract infection (UTI) and long-term catheter use). This failure could affect residents with urinary catheters and other medical conditions and could place them at untimely interventions, exacerbated symptoms, and hospitalization. Findings included: Record review of Resident #5's face sheet revealed she was an [AGE] year-old female who was admitted into the facility on [DATE]. She was diagnosed on [DATE] with, chronic kidney disease (long standing disease of the kidneys leading to renal failure. The kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. As kidneys fail, waste builds up), cognitive communication deficit (difficulty with communication caused by a disruption in cognitive process), neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (a condition that occurs when the nerves and muscles of the bladder don't work together properly), and type 2 diabetes (a long-term condition in which the body has trouble controlling blood sugar and using it for energy).

She said staff did not follow the stop and watch protocol. Interview on 10/14/2024 at 4:32p.m., with the Administrator and Facility Abuse Coordinator revealed when asked how she thought the IJ happened, said ultimately it was communication failure with Resident #5.

She said that they held a monthly QAPI, and that this month had to be rescheduled due to current state investigations and subsequent IJs. She said an Ad Hoc rescheduled QAPI had not been set with a date yet. She said that regarding Resident #5, she had not spoken to the family yet regarding their concerns but that there was a care plan meeting scheduled for 10/15/2024 that she would attend. She said there had been one scheduled last week, but family could not attend at that time and the date they had rescheduled for, the resident was out at the hospital. She said that upon initial hire, nursing was responsible for ensuring all nursing competencies and that nursing was responsible for documentation, but that moving forward she would also have to be oversight and was in the process of hiring a new ADON as well to help.
