blood drawn.
Review of the resident’s current physician’s orders [REDACTED].
-An order, dated 7/31/18, to obtain a [MEDICATION NAME] time (PT, a blood test used to
help detect and diagnose a bleeding disorder or excessive clotting disorder)
/international normalized ratio (INR, calculated from a PT result and used to monitor how
well blood thinning medication is working to prevent blood clots) on 8/14/18;
-An order, dated 7/31/18, to administer [MEDICATION NAME] (blood thinner) 13 milligrams
(mg) every evening.

draw, second time in the same week. Resident fights to the point it took three certified
nurse aide’s (CNAs) to hold him/her down while the technician drew blood. Resident tore
off the bandage and flailed his/her arms, causing blood to run down his/her arm and on to
his/her clothes. The nurse applied a second bandage and resident ripped the bandage off a
second time.

believed the family is aware the resident takes [MEDICATION NAME]. She was unaware if they
knew he/she is so resistant to the blood draws. She was aware it took three staff members
to hold/him her down. She said the adverse reaction the resident displays when his/her
blood is drawn should be on the care plan. Also, the care plan should show if the family
is aware of the resident’s resistance. She said the resident’s rights need to be
respected.
During an interview on 8/14/18 at 12:30 P.M., the attending physician said [MEDICATION
NAME] is the only anti-coagulant approved for the resident’s condition and the blood tests
must be done. He said he has told the staff that if the resident starts to resist the
blood draw, they are to stop and try another day. He added without this particular
medication, the resident is at a higher risk of death. He had not had an in depth
conversation with the family regarding any possible alternatives or the stress the blood
