Residents Affected - Few Based on clinical record review and staff interview it was determined that the baseline care plan of one of 10. residents sampled (Resident B2) failed to fully address the resident's individual needs upon admission.
Findings:
A review of Resident B2's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED], with diagnoses that included acute ischemic heart disease (disease or damage in the heart's major blood vessels).
An admission physician order dated July 5, 2024, was noted for the resident to wear a life vest (a wearable defibrillator that can stop an abnormal heart rhythm without anyone's help) for sudden cardiac arrest.
A review of the resident's baseline care plan failed to identify that the resident had a life vest and specific interventions to address the care of the resident while utilizing the life vest.
An interview with the director of nursing on July 21, 2024, at approximately 11:00 AM confirmed the facility to ensure that this resident's baseline care plan included the minimum healthcare information necessary to properly care for each resident immediately upon their admission, which would address resident-specific health and treatment needs.
