This was likely in setting of severe FW (pure water free of pollutes) deficit from noncompliance with thickened liquid diet. Patient stayed 12 days and was needing thickened liquids which may have limited access to free water when at SNF. Patient had NA corrected and AKI (decrease in kidney function) resolved after increased FW deficit. Patient was previously admitted for AMS (changes in awareness) found to have hypoxia to 88% with AMS. CT (Xray) chest showed small PE in segmental and subsegmental pulmonary artery branches. Patient was treated for PE (lung infection), COPD (Disease, a progressive lung condition characterized by airflow limitation, often including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, causing symptoms like shortness of breath, cough, and mucus, primarily due to smoking or long-term exposure.),and respiratory failure with heparin GTT, and then transitioned to Eliquis. Patient was weaned back down to 2L O2 NC (tube used to transport oxygen). Patient was s/p shock and treated for aspiration PNA (lung infection) with pressors, steroids and antibiotics. Patient noted to have GI bleed and treated for it. Patient had AKI (decrease in kidney function), due to shock so was treated and CR (waste product in blood) resolved back to 1.08 baseline.

To achieve this goal, the community's staff and practitioners must recognize an ACOC and identify its nature, severity, and cause(s). Examples of circumstances of when it is appropriate to communicate information to these parties may include, but are not limited to: Diagnosis of a new condition or a significant change in diagnosis.Transfer of a patient to another healthcare community for assessment, treatment, or care.Unexpected deterioration in condition or status.Significant injury or illness.Definitions: An acute change of condition (ACOC) is a sudden, clinically important deviation from a patient's baseline in physical, cognitive, behavioral, or functional domains. Clinically important means a deviation that, without intervention, may result in complications or death. 676453 Page 3 of 5 676453 01/15/2026 Simpson Place 3922 Simpson Street Dallas, TX 75246
