32 | R1 was seen at the hospital emergency room on March 24, 2025 due to abdominal pain. The medical records indicate that R1 was diagnosed with a UTI. R1 was discharged a few hours later and prescribed antibiotics. It was determined by the Department that the hospitalization was not for severe injury or great bodily harm. Additional hospital records from April 12, 2025 to April 16, 2025 were also reviewed by the Department. There were no indicators that additional hospital visits were due to staff neglect or due to staff failing to seek timely medical care.
On April 12, 2025, R1 was seen at the Emergency Room due to a chief complaint of sepsis alert. R1 was admitted due to suspected pneumonia and physical deconditioning. R1 exhibited symptoms of confusion and shortness of breath, having experienced a week of cough and malaise, along with a day of altered consciousness. Tests revealed consistencies with R1’s baseline interstitial lung disease (ILD) and possible pneumonia. Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed findings of jejunal intussusception, but it was determined that no surgical intervention was necessary. On April 16, 2025, R1 returned to the Emergency Department with a complaint of abdominal pain and nausea. CT scan once again showed jejunal intussusception. Again, surgical intervention was not recommended. Push enteroscopy was performed on April 22, 2025. Procedure did not identify a clear cause for the intussusception. R1 was also treated again for UTI with antibiotics. CT scan on April 22, 2025 indicated that previously noted jejunal intussusception was no longer present.
