Findings
On or about June 18, 2023, the Alleged Victim (AV) was transported to the hospital due to signs of unreasonable discomfort associated with shortness of breath. While hospitalized, AV was treated with an increased dosage of his/her prescribed diuretic medication to alleviate symptoms, as AV was found to have approximately 32 pounds of excess fluid, which was subsequently removed. AV returned to the facility on July 3, 2023, under hospice care. Based on facility documentation and interviews, AV had moved into the facility on June 10, 2023, approximately eight days prior to the hospitalization event. The Hospital After Visit Summary, specifically on page 5, directed that AV should continue taking the diuretic medication, 40 mg tablet daily. Following AV’s return, Alleged Perpetrator 3 (AP3) completed medication adjustments on AV’s Medication Administration Record (MAR); however, AV's prescribed diuretic medication was not entered. The facility utilizes a 3-Step Check stamp on documentation related to resident care to ensure that any changes to the resident’s care are accurately updated in the facility’s system. AP3’s signature appears as the third and final staff member confirming that the document had been reviewed and confirmed correct. AV continued to experience unreasonable discomfort after returning to the facility on July 3, 2023, due to AP3’s failure to ensure AV’s MAR accurately reflected all of AV's physician ordered medications as stated in AV’s Hospital After Visit Summary. On July 17, 2023, AV's showed signs of swelling. It was at this time that hospice and facility staff discovered the error on AV's MAR, after AV's July 3, 2023, hospital discharge. AV is diagnosed with a significant heart disease and not receiving his/her diuretic medication placed AV at risk of harm. AP3's actions caused AV to suffer from increased swelling and hospitalization which is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse. The facility failed to provide a safe medication administration system for AV, which resulted in AV not receiving his/her prescribed diuretic medication and subsequent hospitalization after the June 18, 2023, hospitalization. The facility's failure is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care which constitutes abuse.
