Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident did not receive leg compression stockings as ordered by their physician. The physician's orders specified that Tubi Grips (compression stockings) were to be applied to both lower extremities in the morning and removed at bedtime. The resident's treatment administration record indicated that the Tubi Grips were on, but during an observation in the activity area, the resident was found without Tubi Grips, socks, or shoes. A certified nurse aide confirmed responsibility for applying the Tubi Grips, acknowledged that the resident was not wearing them, and verified that the stockings were available in the resident's dresser drawer but had not been applied as required.
