(Resident #1) Resident #1 returned to the facility from the hospital on [DATE]. Hospital discharge records included a recommendation to follow-up with cardiologist due to suspected left ventricular apex aneurysm (a bulge or weakened area in the wall of the heart's ventricles-lower pumping chambers). The facility did not consult or notify the physician of the recommendation. This failure could place residents at risk for delay in treatment and decreased quality of life. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 12/22/23 indicated she was a [AGE] year old female, initially admitted on [DATE], and her diagnoses included dementia (the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities), diabetes (high blood sugar), and hypertension (high blood pressure). Record review of Resident #1's MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 was usually understood and usually understood others, she had severe cognitive impairment (BIMS score 7), and physical and verbal behaviors directed at others occurred 1 to 3 days. Record review of Resident #1's physician orders dated 08/01/23 indicated she was admitted to the facility for SNF level of care. Record review of Resident #1's hospital records dated 11/25/23 indicated she was admitted on [DATE] with altered mental status (change in mental function), hypercapnia (buildup of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream), and dehydration (loss of fluid). Record review of Resident #1's hospital records dated 11/26/23 indicated a CT angiography of the chest with IV contrast was completed. Findings indicated the pulmonary arterial vasculature appeared normal, no CT evidence for pulmonary embolism, heart was mildly enlarged, probable 2 cm aneurysm of left ventricle apex, and the aorta was normal in caliber and there was no evidence of dissection. Record review of Resident #1's hospital records dated 11/27/23 *Follow-up/appointments: Needs to follow up (with) cardiologist d/t (due to) suspected left ventricular apex aneurism. Additional MD instructions: Follow up with NH provider. Follow-up with outpatient cardiology.
