F 0698 dialysis at 1:30 pm. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 10/22/24 at 1:19 pm, the DON said there was no specific timeframe for obtaining vital signs before dialysis, but they should be obtained before the resident left. The DON further stated when the nurses filled out the dialysis communication sheet the BP was taken within a reasonable timeframe, approximately 30 minutes to one hour prior to leaving. The DON said Resident #1's dialysis chair time was 3:15 pm. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 10/22/24 at 1:37 pm, LVN D said she tried to obtain resident vital signs right before they left for dialysis. LVN D further stated she would not use the morning vital signs because they could change and if they were abnormal before they left for dialysis the physician needed to be notified. During an interview on 10/22/24 at 3:14 pm, MA A said she did not obtain Resident #1's blood pressure or heart rate on 10/4/24, another MA who was training her obtained the blood pressure and heart rate and she (MA A) documented them. MA A further stated she did not remember the MA's name who obtained Resident #1's blood pressure and heart rate. During an interview on 10/23/24 at 3:02 pm, LVN C said he used Resident #1's blood pressure and heart rate obtained on the day shift but did not remember at what time they were obtained. LVN C said he did not know if the facility had an expectation regarding when to obtain vital signs prior to dialysis. LVN C said Resident #1 appointment for dialysis was at 3:15 pm, so she was picked up during the second shift. LVN C said he did not think using Resident #1's vital signs from the morning shift was best practice because they can change.
