SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES

emergency room and is continuing by mouth antibiotics at the facility to treat the UTI. V2 stated R4 didn't have a bowel obstruction and the constipation was resolved immediately after the enema was administered in the emergency room. On 8/19/2025 at 10:40 AM V19, R4's physician stated she ordered the abdominal ultrasound on 8/42025 due to feeling a mass in her abdomen but she was more concerned with her having a UTI at that time. R4 is nonverbal and therefore she can't voice pain but when she assessed her on 8/42025 V19 felt R4 was either in pain or experiencing anxiety so she ordered a UA/C&S and an abdominal ultrasound for the mass felt in her abdomen that day. V19 stated the tests were not done in a timely fashion and stated she comes to the facility on Mondays and Fridays and she expected to have both test results back that Friday, 8/8/2025 but she spoke to the floor nurses who were agency staff and they told her the tests were completed but the results weren't in R4's electronic medical record and the medical records employee was on vacation at that time so she had issues getting the test results.

After the abdominal ultrasound was completed, she reviewed the results the next day and stated she sent R4 to the emergency room to rule out a small bowel obstruction and stated she reviewed the emergency room records and it was determined R4 had impacted stool near the rectum which was digitally removed at bedside in the emergency room and R4 received an enema in the emergency room where she had 2 large stools right after. V19 stated it was determined that R4 has a UTI and she received an intramuscular shot of antibiotics in the emergency room and she is on a by mouth antibiotic at the facility to treat that. V19 stated she expected the facility to follow the policies and procedures to ensure physician ordered tests are completed in a timely fashion. On 8/19/2025 at 3:00 PM, V2 stated the facility doesn't have a policy or procedure that documents when a lab or ultrasound timeframe should be done.
