and hospice being notified of order for IV fluids or attempts made to start IV fluids. There was no
documentation regarding change of condition for Resident #1 from 09/23/2025 through 09/29/2025. Review
of Resident #1's progress notes dated 09/29/2025 at 09:52 am written by the DON reflected: Late Entry:
Residents [family] called to discuss concerns with IV. Educated family on new IV program, assured family
member resident was not dehydrated, and was only triggering for possible dehydration d/t decreased oral
intake. Family member appreciative of information, assured family that resident is happy and well taken
care of here. During an interview on 10/20/2025 at 10:18 am, Resident #1's family stated she and hospice
were not made aware of new order for IV fluids to be started on Resident #1. Resident #1's Family stated
she found out about the IV fluid order when she went to visit Resident #1 and saw the bruise on her left
arm. Resident #1's Family stated she called to find out and Hospice was not notified too. Resident #'s
Family stated it was the DON that got the order for the IV fluids and the DON contacted her later after she
raised concerns. Resident #1's Family stated IV fluid therapy was too severe for the facility not to contact
the family or hospice before initiating the treatment. Resident #1's Family stated the facility was supposed
to get permission from hospice for any medication changes, any type of change if Resident #1 was that ill
before attempting the care. During an interview on 10/20/2025 at 1:14 pm, the ADON stated When a
resident is on hospice, the hospice followed the Resident and the facility get orders from hospice, and the
MD is notified to approve the order. The ADON stated the MD had recommended IV fluids for Resident #1
and she worked with Resident #1 on the day of the recommendation. The ADON stated the DON got the
orders from the MD for Resident #1's IV fluids, and she [ADON] did not notify Resident #1's family. The
ADON stated she attempted to start the IV on Resident #1 twice but was unsuccessful. The ADON stated
she tried Resident #1's left full arm and was unsuccessful, the vein blown and then she tried Resident #1's
left upper arm area. The ADON stated she could not recall documenting the attempts to start the IV on
Resident #1. The ADON stated, my apologies, should have been documented. During an interview on
10/20/2025 at 2:25 pm the DON stated the MD gave the order to start IV fluids on Resident #1 because
there were clinical alert triggers. The DON stated she looked at clinical alerts such as eating 50%, diarrhea,
s/s of Urinary Tract Infection (an infection of the urinary tract, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder,
and urethra.) and notified the MD. The DON stated Resident #1 was on hospice care, it was an oversight,
she should have notified the hospice and the family before attempting the to start the IV. The DON stated
Resident #1 never received the IV fluids because staff were unsuccessful in starting the IV after 2 attempts.
The DON stated by the time she realized the IV fluid therapy was unsuccessful, Resident #1's family was in
the facility the next day and refused the IV fluids therapy. The DON stated the incident happened on a
Friday and she spoke with Resident #1's family on a Monday (09/29/2025). The DON stated she did not
document receiving an order for IV fluids for Resident #1. Review of facility's policy revised March 11, 2023,
titled Notifying the Physician of Change in Status 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 Workday notification of the physician.The nurse will notify the physician
immediately with significant change in status. The nurse will document signs and symptoms of significant
change, time/date of call to physician, and interventions that were implemented in the resident's clinical
record.5. The resident' s family member or legal guardian should be notified of significant change in
resident' s status
