Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan,
and the residents' choices for one (Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for quality of care related to
subtherapeutic lab levels. The facility failed to follow up after notifying the NP twice regarding Resident #1's
phenytoin (anti-seizure medication) lab value of 5.6 (therapeutic range 10.0 - 20.0) on [DATE] and no
intervention or assessments were put in place. Resident #1 was hospitalized on [DATE] due to
subtherapeutic serum Dilantin (phenytoin- anti-seizure medication) level and status epilepticus. On [DATE]
an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified. While the IJ was removed on [DATE], the facility remained out of
compliance at a severity level of no actual harm that was not Immediate Jeopardy with a scope of isolated
due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their plan of removal. The
facility Administrator received and signed the IJ template on [DATE] at 11:20 a.m. These failures could
place residents at risk for a delay in treatment or diagnosis of new symptoms, a decline in the resident's
condition, the need for hospitalization, or death. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face
sheet, printed [DATE], reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male re-admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
active diagnoses included anoxic brain damage (when the brain is completely deprived of oxygen, causing
cell death within minutes) and epilepsy with status epilepticus (seizures lasting longer than 5 minutes or
multiple seizures without regaining consciousness in between). Record review of Resident #1's Minimum
Data Set (MDS) Comprehensive Resident Assessment, dated [DATE], reflected his BIMS summary score
was 05 indicating severe cognitive impairment. The active diagnoses included seizure disorder or epilepsy.
Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan, date initiated [DATE], reflected The resident has
seizure disorder.The resident will be free from injury from seizure activity through the review date.Give
seizure medication as ordered by doctor. Monitor/document side effects and Effectiveness. Monitor labs

the hospital in his bed. An attempt to interview was made, but he was not interviewable and continued to fall
asleep off and on. During an interview with FM #1 on [DATE] at 10:40 a.m., she stated the hospital
neurologist told her he can't be taken off medications like that in that way. The hospitalization was all
caused by the decrease in his medication. This was preventable. She stated he seemed to be doing better
and was no longer having seizures. During an interview with FM #2 on [DATE] at 11:27 a.m., she stated the
neurologist said this was preventable. She said the phenytoin levels were too low, critical level in December.
She stated he was sent out in the middle of the night screaming. The ER said his levels were less than 1.8.
She stated he hadn't had a seizure in 12 years. She stated she was told when he had these kinds of
seizures brain cells died and did damage to his heart. She stated his phenytoin level was 5.6 in December,
and they did nothing at that point. During an interview with the DON on [DATE] at 1:01 p.m., she stated
Resident #1's [DATE] labs had 23.4 for his phenytoin level. MD B decreased his dosage from 250 mg to
200 mg in [DATE] and increased lab draws from every three months to every two months. She stated the
next set of labs had a level of 5.6 and that was low. The NP reviewed the labs and gave no new orders. She
stated it was a little behind because of the holidays. During an interview with the NP on [DATE] at 1:41 p.m.,
she stated I am at a loss I don't know what happened. I looked yesterday when I heard about it. She was
unable to recall everything exactly. She stated she knew she signed it, but she missed it somehow. She
stated if she had caught it, for labs sensitive like that, normally she would ask for a replacement lab that
day. By that time, the lab

value was two weeks old. Then adjust medications and redraw them two weeks later. She stated with his
history of seizures and his levels being low like that, she definitely would have ordered to redraw labs. She
stated the seizures could have been prevented. During an interview with MD B on [DATE] at 2:36 p.m., he
stated he lowered the dosage due to a critically high phenytoin level. He stated he did not decrease it that
much. He changed phenytoin from 250 mg to 200 mg which is 1/3 of the dosage and he stated it should
have minimal change. He increased lab draws from every three months to every two months. He stated,
The first recheck was 5 something. He stated it was on the low side. It should be somewhere around 10. He
stated the NP missed the lab; he was not sure how that happened. MD B stated the seizures could have
any other cause such as stress or a urinary tract infection. He did not recall if he was notified about this
specific lab value. He stated the levels could be off due to timing of the labs. He stated there was no reason
to do anything else at the time because there were no symptoms. He stated he wouldn't just chase the
numbers. During an interview on [DATE] at 3:19 p.m., ADON C stated when the NP came to the building,
she rounded at that time. She pulled all the labs that have not been reviewed. She stated she did not
specifically look at each lab herself. She printed them and gave them to the NP. The NP read through them
while she was standing there, signed them, and gave them back to her. ADON C documented any orders or
if there were no orders in the EHR, then the signed labs were given to medical records to be scanned and
uploaded into the EHR. This was part of the normal lab practice for all the labs that came into the entire
facility. During an interview on [DATE] at 3:26 p.m., LVN D stated she notified the NP of the lab results. She
did not confirm or deny that she informed the NP specifically about the phenytoin level. She stated she
knew she would notify the doctor if any lab values were off. She stated she received a text back, no new
orders from the NP. She stated she knew she put in the progress notes that she contacted the NP regarding
the labs. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:15 a.m., the DON stated the lab value was low, not critical. The
DON stated the NP was contacted twice regarding the labs. The Administrator was present during this
interview, she added the NP was contacted twice, what else are we supposed to do? The Administrator
asked, Isn't it the NP's responsibility to let the doctor know? She stated, the NP was under his license, so
she should do that. The DON stated it was beyond the nurse's scope to question the NP's response. She
stated we followed the orders, drew the labs, and contacted the NP and followed her recommendations.
She stated she would not answer any other questions until she contacted her VP. An attempt to interview
the hospital neurologist on [DATE] at 9:26 a.m. was made, no return call was received. During an interview
on [DATE] at 1:08 p.m., MD F stated the phenytoin lab was at 5.6, which is low, it can change quickly. He
stated all doctors should probably schedule labs monthly if they are changing something (like medication
dosages) or if the lab value was changing rapidly, the labs should be drawn weekly. He stated, oh no, can't
make changes based off old labs. He stated new labs should have been done, before changes to the
medications were made, lab draws should be within a couple days. He stated the lab values were
subtherapeutic, you can't say for sure. (it caused seizures) but it didn't help. The DON was emailed
regarding a related lab policy on [DATE], she replied at 1:30 p.m., there was no specific policy for labs, they
followed the doctor's orders. Review of the facility's policy, Notifying the Physician of Changes in Status, no
date, reflected The nurse should not hesitate to contact the physician at any time when an assessment and
their professional judgment deem it necessary for immediate medical attention. This facility utilizes the
INTERACT tool, Change in Condition - When to Notify the MD/NP/PA to review resident conditions and
guide the nurse when to notify the physician. This tool informs the nurse if the resident condition requires
immediate notification of the physician or non-immediate/Report on Next Work day notification of the
