Summary
The facility failed to notify a resident or their responsible party of changes in physician-ordered treatments. Clinical record review showed that the resident, who had diagnoses including congestive heart failure and end stage renal disease, received new physician orders for Bumex (a diuretic) twice daily, a chest x-ray, and double-portion protein at meals over several days. There was no documented evidence that the resident or their responsible party was informed of these changes. The Director of Nursing confirmed during interview that there was no documentation of such notifications.
