He/She would document the BP and any new physician orders in the progress notes. If a CMT or Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) obtained the BP, he/she would expect them to notify him/her immediately. During an interview on [DATE REDACTED] at 7:50 A.M., the Director of Nurses (DON) said she would have expected the CMT to hold any antihypertensive medication and tell the nurse immediately of the low BP. The nurse should check the BP, and if it is that low, then call the physician for any new orders. This should be documented in the resident's progress notes. She expects staff to follow facility policies.During an interview on [DATE REDACTED] at 9:35 A.M., RN F said that morning (9/17) the resident did not want to get up, which is unusual. He/She spoke to the resident who said he/she did not feel like getting up, but he/she said he/she felt fine. The CMT did not tell him/her the resident's BP was 78/67. The CMT should have told him/her. Had he/she known, he/she would have checked the resident's BP, and if it was that low, he/she would have ensured any antihypertension medications were held, and he/she would have called the physician. He/She would have documented any new order in the progress notes. During an
interview on [DATE REDACTED] at 12:13 P.M., the resident's physician and facility Medical Director said the CMT should have notified the charge nurse about the resident's BP of 78/67 and hold any antihypertension medications. If the CMT had notified the charge nurse, he would have expected the charge nurse to contact him. He would have ordered intravenous fluids, call emergency medical staff (EMS), and had sent the resident to the hospital for an evaluation. He is not sure had all of those things happened, that it would have changed the outcome for the resident. 2640283
