He indicated he ordered her Losartan and Spironolactone held for 5 days, 10/10-10/14/25, to see if the medications had contributed to the rise in her blood creatinine. He had not been aware the resident had refused these medications months prior to or after the medications were ordered to be held.In a confidential interview, staff member 2 indicated ordering providers were to be notified of resident's refusal to take prescribed medication.During a confidential interview, staff member 3 indicated when a resident refused a medication, the MAR would be marked with a 2 meaning refusal and a note documented in the nurse progress notes.

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure labs were completed as ordered by the physician for 1 of 3 residents reviewed (Resident T).Findings include:On 11/17/25 at 2:00 p.m., Resident T's record was reviewed.
Diagnoses included schizophrenia, heart failure, high blood pressure, and overactive bladder.Care plans indicated Resident T was prescribed anti-hypertensive and diuretic medications to treat high blood pressure.
She was at risk for fluctuations in fluid balance and complications from bladder incontinence.
Interventions included obtaining and monitoring lab/diagnostic work as ordered.A physician order, dated 10/10/25, was to collect a urinalysis (UA) for culture and sensitivity.A physician's progress note, dated 10/10/25, indicated Resident T had been seen by the Nurse Practitioner (NP) due to abnormal kidney function.
The resident had lab work completed on 10/8/25.
The lab results indicated blood creatinine level was elevated at 2.17.
The resident did not have a history of chronic kidney disease, and her baseline creatinine was <1.0.
When asked, the resident denied any urinary tract infection (UTI) related symptoms.
The plan included obtaining a urinalysis to check for possible causes of her elevated blood creatinine level.An article, titled Creatinine and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) was retrieved from kidney.org on 11/17/25 at 3:25 P.M.
The article indicated too much creatinine in the blood could be a sign of possible kidney problems. AKI was a sudden episode of kidney failure or damage within a short period of time. AKI causes a build-up of waste products in the blood, affects other organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs.
There are several causes of AKI including side effects of medications, direct damage to the kidney or blockage of the urinary tract.
Tests used to diagnose and investigate the cause of AKI include urinalysis (a urine test used to find signs of kidney disease and kidney failure).A nurse progress note, dated 10/16/25 at 4:02 p.m., indicated the UA results were in and no pathogens (disease causing organisms) were detected.
The Nurse Practitioner (NP) was notified with no new orders given.A lab report, dated 10/16/25, was provided by the Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/18/25 at 12:32 P.M.
The report indicated there were no organisms detected in Resident T's urine test.
The DON indicated only a culture and sensitivity was done on the urine and not a urinalysis as ordered by the NP but should have been.
The DON indicated the specialty lab where the urine test had been sent, detected only pathogens in the urine but didn't process urinalysis tests.On 11/18/25 at 12:44 P.M., the NP was interviewed. He indicated he had ordered a urinalysis with culture and sensitivity if indicated as follow-up to the residents abnormal blood creatinine level.
When asked, he indicated, the facility used a special laboratory, able to detect pathogens in the urine as well as best medications to use in treating the organisms. He indicated his understanding from the laboratory, was urinalysis would be completed in addition to detection of pathogens. A facility policy, provided by the nurse manager on 11/19/25 at 10:14 A.M., indicated the facility would obtain laboratory services through licensed laboratories, upon the order from a facility medical provider.
Nursing staff would initiate providers orders, ensure timely collection, and collect specimens as ordered per the nurse's scope of practice.This Citation relates to Intake 2646144.
