Summary
The facility failed to follow physician orders for laboratory testing for a resident admitted with a history of stroke, fluency disorder, and depression. A psychiatric admission progress note documented a new order for a Complete Blood Count (CBC) lab for the resident. However, review of the resident's medical record showed no evidence that the CBC lab was obtained. During an interview, the Director of Nursing Services (DNS) confirmed she was not aware of the laboratory order and acknowledged that it was not completed.
