Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Advanced Health Care Of Albuquerque during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a complex medical history, including coronary artery disease and recent stent placement, missed multiple doses of critical heart medication due to the facility's failure to notify the physician. The resident's medications, Aspirin and Plavix, were not administered on dialysis days, and the physician was not informed, preventing potential schedule adjustments. This oversight likely contributed to the resident's deteriorating condition and subsequent death.
A resident with significant cardiac issues did not receive prescribed medications, Plavix and aspirin, on multiple occasions, particularly on dialysis days. The facility's staff failed to notify the physician or adjust medication times, despite the importance of these medications in preventing blood clots after a recent stent placement. The resident later exhibited weakness and altered mental status, leading to hospitalization and subsequent death from cardiac arrest.
A resident with a history of myocardial infarction experienced anxiety and symptoms indicative of a potential cardiac event, but the facility staff attributed her condition to anxiety without proper assessment. Despite the resident's complex medical history and family concerns, the staff only took her vital signs, which were normal, and did not administer anxiety medication or conduct further evaluation. The resident was eventually sent to the hospital after the family insisted on calling emergency services.
Failure to Notify Physician of Missed Heart Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the physician when a resident missed multiple doses of heart medication, specifically Aspirin and Plavix, which were crucial for the resident's condition following a recent heart attack and stent placement. The resident, who had a complex medical history including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and kidney disease, was discharged from the hospital to the facility with specific medication orders. However, the facility staff did not administer these medications on several occasions, particularly on days when the resident was scheduled for dialysis. The missed doses of medication were not communicated to the physician, which could have allowed for adjustments in the medication schedule. The physician was unaware of the missed doses and stated that Plavix, in particular, should not be skipped as it is critical in preventing blood clots after stent placement. The lack of communication and failure to administer the medication as prescribed likely contributed to the resident's deteriorating condition and eventual death. Interviews with facility staff and family members revealed that the resident experienced significant distress and weakness, leading to an emergency hospital visit where the resident passed away shortly after arrival. The facility's failure to notify the physician and ensure the resident received their prescribed medication represents a significant deficiency in care, as it directly impacted the resident's health and wellbeing.
Failure to Administer Critical Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to administer critical medications, Plavix and aspirin, to a resident with a history of significant cardiac issues, including a recent non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease. These medications were prescribed to prevent heart attacks and strokes, particularly after the resident had undergone a complex percutaneous coronary intervention and received a drug-eluting stent. Despite the physician's orders, the medications were not administered on several occasions, particularly on the resident's dialysis days, which corresponded with the scheduled medication times. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the medications should have been administered upon the resident's return from dialysis, as they were prescribed once daily. However, the nursing staff failed to notify the physician about the missed doses or request a change in the administration time. The facility's physician emphasized the importance of not missing doses of Plavix, especially after a new stent placement, as it is critical in preventing blood clots. The resident's family member reported that the resident appeared weak, anxious, and had an altered mental status on the day of her scheduled discharge. The resident was subsequently sent to the hospital, where she passed away shortly after arrival, with the hospital physician indicating that cardiac arrest was the likely cause of death. This series of events highlights the facility's failure to ensure the resident received essential medications as prescribed, potentially jeopardizing her health and safety.
Failure to Properly Assess Resident with Cardiac History
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide quality care to a resident with a history of myocardial infarction when they did not properly assess the resident after she began experiencing anxiety and other symptoms before being transferred to the emergency room. The resident, who had a complex medical history including non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, multivessel coronary artery disease, and chronic systolic heart failure, began showing signs of high anxiety, shaking, and potential loss of consciousness on the day she was scheduled for discharge. Despite these symptoms, the staff only took her vital signs, which were reported as normal, and attributed her condition to anxiety without further assessment or intervention. The resident's care plan did not include her cardiac diagnosis or monitoring for signs and symptoms of a heart attack, which contributed to the oversight. On the day of the incident, the resident's family arrived to find her in distress, lying halfway down in her bed, and expressing difficulty breathing and a heavy feeling in her chest. Despite the family's concerns and requests for medical attention, the staff continued to attribute the resident's condition to anxiety and did not administer any anxiety medication or conduct a thorough assessment. Interviews with the Director of Nursing and the nurse involved revealed that the staff believed the resident's symptoms were due to anxiety about going home. The nurse reported that the resident was responsive and had normal vital signs, leading her to conclude there was no change in the resident's condition. However, the family insisted on calling emergency medical services, and the resident was eventually transported to the hospital. This failure to properly assess and respond to the resident's symptoms likely resulted in unnecessary distress and a delay in treatment.
