The facility failed, for 10 consecutive days, to follow the physicians' order to flush Resident #18's urinary catheter twice a day. These failures could place residents at risk for a decline in their health status. The findings included: A record review of Resident #18's admission record dated 6/13/2025 revealed an admission date of 4/8/2025 with diagnoses which included neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (no bladder control because of brain, spinal cord, or nerve problems), urinary tract infection, and Parkinson's disease (an illness that affects the part of the brain that controls movement, walk, talk, sleep, and thought). A record review of Resident #18's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 5/17/2025, revealed she was an [AGE] year-old female admitted for long term care related to a neurogenic bladder (a malfunction of the urine bladder complicated by the disruption of nerve signals to the nervous system). Further review revealed Resident #18 was assessed with a BIMS score of 5 out of a possible 15 which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Resident #18 was assessed with the need for an indwelling urinary catheter. * * A record review of Resident #18's nursing progress notes revealed ADON B documented on 5/31/2025 a Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) report where she reported to the physician, this nurse was notified by the aide that the resident had blood tinged urine in her (brand name, sic[urinary collection]) bag. There was some blood and blood clots in the tubing and on the brief. Further review revealed ADON B documented the physician prescribed nursing staff to remove and replace Resident #18's indwelling urinary collection bag. A record review of Resident #18's physicians orders revealed LVN N documented on 6/2/2025 a new order from the physician to flush Resident #18 indwelling urinary catheter twice a day. Further review of the order revealed the order type: drop down list was selected as other orders (no documentation required). * A record review of Resident #18's medical record reviewed for the period of 6/2/2025 to 6/12/2025 revealed no evidence that Resident #18 had received her prescribed flush treatment for her indwelling catheter.

During an interview on 6/12/2025 at 3:45 PM LVN O stated she was the nurse for Resident #18 for 6/12/2025 and was the nurse for Resident #18 on 6/11/2025 from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. LVN O stated Resident #18 had an indwelling urinary catheter and she had not flushed Resident #18's catheter. LVN O reviewed Resident #18's physicians orders and recognized an error in Resident #18's order. LVN O stated LVN P had documented an order for flushing Resident #18's indwelling urinary catheter twice a day beginning on 6/2/2025, however, she had not chosen for documentation to be completed on the section of the electronic order titled order type. LVN O stated the choice documented on the order was other orders (no documentation required) and thus the order did not transcribe to the treatment administration record; the order was not visible to floor nurses who utilize the treatment administration record as a guide for providing treatment and care throughout the day. LVN O reviewed the record and could not find evidence Resident #18 had received her flush for her indwelling urinary catheter. LVN O stated the record revealed Resident #18 was producing clear, yellow, sediment free urine with vital signs which were within normal limits. LVN O stated she would assess Resident #18 for harm and report to the physician and her supervisor ADON B. During an interview on 6/12/2025 at 4:45 PM ADON B stated she was the ADON for Resident #18 and LVN O. ADON B stated she had received a report from LVN O regarding Resident #18 failed indwelling urinary catheter flush treatment. ADON B stated the physician had received an SBAR from LVN O and had discontinued the flush order because Resident #18 was producing unremarkable urine and had no need for a flush of her indwelling catheter. ADON B stated she had reviewed the medical record for Resident #18 and had recognized LVN P had not documented the order to reflect the order onto Resident #18's treatment administration record and thus other nurses were unaware of the order. ADON B stated all new orders were reviewed daily in the morning Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meeting and had reviewed the order on 6/3/2025, however the order was not reviewed for accuracy for transcription to the treatment administration record. ADON B stated she was supervised by the DON. ADON B stated the IDT included herself, the DON, and the administrator as well as other department heads. During an interview on 6/12/25 at 5:45 PM the DON stated she had received a report from ADON B regarding the failed flush for Resident #18's indwelling catheter and had ensured Resident #18 had no adverse effects from the failure. The DON stated due to Resident #18's improved urine production the physician discontinued the flush order on 6/12/2025. The DON stated a review of the order revealed LVN P had not documented the order correctly and thus the order was not transcribed to the treatment administration record and other nurses were unaware of the order. The DON stated she and the Administrator as well as other department heads were members of the IDT. The DON stated the IDT team met on 6/3/2025 and had reviewed all new orders from the previous day however the review failed to recognize the improperly documented order and thus Resident #18 had not received her prescribed indwelling urinary catheter flush. The DON stated the risk to residents was they may not receive the therapeutic effects of the physicians' prescribed treatments.

This failure could place residents at risk of not administering medications as prescribed and increasing adverse effects. The finding included: A record review of Resident #9's admission record dated 6/12/2025 revealed an admission date of 5/20/2025 with diagnoses which included osteomyelitis (a serious bone infection that can occur due to bacteria) left ankle and foot; chronic kidney disease stage 4 severe (severe, irreversible damage to the kidneys. At this stage, the kidneys are functioning at only 15-29% of their normal capacity, leading to the accumulation of waste products in the blood). A record review of Resident #9's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #9 was an [AGE] year-old male admitted for long term care related to a bone infection to his left ankle complicated by diabetes mellitus (common form of diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin). Resident #9 was assessed with a BIMS score of 11 out of a possible 15 which indicated mild cognitive impairment. further review revealed Resident #9 had a PICC line intravenous access port (peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), also called a PICC line, is a long, thin tube that's inserted through a vein in your arm and passed through to the larger veins near your heart.) * A record review of Resident #9's physicians orders revealed a physician's order on 5/20/2025; the physician prescribed Resident #9 to be administered 1 gram of meropenem intravenously every 12 hours, at 9:00 AM and again at 9:00 PM, for a month.

The DON stated the flow regulator should have been set to the pharmacy's recommendations 100ml an hour. The DON stated the flow rate of 200ml an hour would have administered the dose in half the intended time and could have potentially increased adverse reactions to the medication administration. The DON stated Resident #9 was assessed without adverse reactions and the physician was given a report with no new orders.
