A [DATE REDACTED] facility policy titled Intravenous (IV, by vein) Therapy showed, any IV order was accurately transcribed to the appropriate forms and documented in the resident's medical record.
According to a quarterly assessment dated [DATE REDACTED], Resident 7 had diagnoses of lung disease, diabetes, and hypotension (low blood pressure). They were alert and able to make their needs known.
In an interview on [DATE REDACTED] at 11:34 AM, Resident 7 was observed in their room. They had an IV saline lock (A tube inserted into a vein that does not have fluid running through it. Nurses periodically flushed with saline solution to prevent blockage) in their right wrist. Resident 7 stated that it was placed about a week ago to get IV fluids because they were dehydrated. They further clarified that they only needed fluids one time, and it had not been used since.
A review of Resident 7's orders included a [DATE REDACTED] order to insert an IV catheter to administer fluids, for one time only. This order was signed as completed at [DATE REDACTED] at 11:03 PM on the [DATE REDACTED] Treatment Administration Record (TAR). Another [DATE REDACTED] order instructed the nurses to follow facility IV policy for flushing and site maintenance. This order was not found on the September TAR or MAR.

During an interview on [DATE REDACTED] at 11:31 AM, Staff G, Assistant Director of Nursing, stated that an IV should be flushed every shift if not in use, or the IV line could clog and not be usable.
