Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ohio Living Lake Vista during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and a DNRCC status experienced a medical emergency. An RN administered Morphine, prescribed for another resident, without checking orders or consulting a physician, violating professional standards. The resident was later hospitalized with hypoxia related to pneumonia.
A facility failed to ensure consistent communication with a dialysis center for a resident with end-stage renal disease. The resident's care plan required communication as needed, but the DON confirmed it was only done on an as-needed basis. The resident's son had to inform the facility of issues during dialysis and an additional treatment, highlighting the lack of a defined communication process in the facility's policies.
Medication Error and Scope of Practice Violation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that staff provided care and services according to professional standards of practice and within their scope of practice, affecting one resident who was receiving hospice services. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment and required extensive assistance with daily activities, was at risk for cardiovascular complications and had an advance directive of Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care (DNRCC). On the day of the incident, the resident experienced difficulty breathing and was found with blue lips, indicating a potential medical emergency. A registered nurse (RN) assessed the resident's vital signs and placed her on oxygen. Despite the resident's stable vital signs, she continued to struggle with breathing. The RN attempted to contact the resident's family and, unable to reach them, made the decision to administer Morphine, which was not prescribed for the resident but for another resident. This decision was made without checking the resident's orders or consulting a physician, which is a violation of the professional standards of practice. The RN administered the Morphine sublingually after the resident began coughing up blood. The family was eventually contacted, and they decided to send the resident to the hospital, where she was admitted with a diagnosis of hypoxia related to pneumonia. The incident was later reported, and it was confirmed that the RN administered medication without a physician's order, which is against the facility's policy and the Ohio Board of Nursing's scope of practice for RNs.
Inadequate Communication for Dialysis Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure appropriate and consistent communication regarding dialysis treatment for a resident with end-stage renal disease, acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, and congestive heart failure. The resident was receiving dialysis at an outside center every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The care plan required the facility to communicate with the dialysis center as needed regarding the resident's dialysis care issues. However, the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that communication with the dialysis center occurred only on an as-needed basis, and not after every treatment. This lack of consistent communication was highlighted when the resident's son had to inform the facility of issues that occurred during dialysis and an additional treatment scheduled by the dialysis center. The facility's policies and procedures related to dialysis did not include a communication process with the dialysis providers, nor did they specify how communication should occur, who was responsible for it, or where it should be documented in the medical record. This deficiency was evident when the family, rather than the dialysis center, notified the facility of the resident's trouble at dialysis and the added treatment. The facility census at the time was 39, and this issue affected the only resident receiving dialysis in the facility.
