Residents Affected - Some
Interview with LVN A on 9/13/23 at 12:15 PM revealed she received the order to discontinue Resident #1's
PICC line from her Infectious Disease physician on 8/22/23. She stated she entered it into the system and
passed the information on in report to the evening shift because there were 2 RNs working that night. She
stated, when she saw the next day the PICC had not been removed, she re-entered the order and timed it
so that it would pop up in the computer on the RN's shift. She stated she also passed the information on to
the DON; she told her the PICC had not been removed and asked her to have an RN remove the line. She
stated she did not change the dressing that day because she thought the line was going to be pulled. She
did not work again until after Resident #1 was sent out to the hospital. When asked why the order on the
MAR indicated she had removed the PICC line, she stated she did not know why it showed up like that. It
should have shown a code to enter other information, she intended only to acknowledge the order and not
sign the order as complete. LVN A stated dressing changes for PICC lines were to be completed every
week. When a resident was admitted or got a line placed, the dressing change was entered to reflect the
due date every 7 days based on the date of the last dressing change. She stated dressing changes were
important to prevent infections. Any documentation related to 24- hour reports were requested from LVN A.
Follow-up interview with LVN A on 9/13/23 at 2:14 PM revealed she was unable to locate any 24-hour
report documentation.
Interview with LVN C on 9/13/23 at 2:02 PM revealed she had worked at the facility for 2 weeks and was
currently caring for a resident with a PICC line. She stated PICC lines should have been monitored for
patency and signs of infection. She stated dressing changes should have been done per facility's policy and
orders should have been entered on the Medication-Treatment Administration record.
Interview with LVN D on 9/13/23 at 2:25 PM revealed she was not currently caring for a resident with a
PICC but knew the lines should have been monitored for patency or infection. Ste stated dressings should
have been changed once a week and as needed. She stated only RNs were allowed to remove PICC lines.
Interview with the Administrator on 9/13/23 at 2:45 PM revealed physician orders should have been
followed as written and he expected nursing management to provide oversight. He stated failure to follow
physician order could lead to harm.
