N.W. • Gig Harcor, Washington 98335-0017 October 20, 1994 PERSONAL DELIVERY/CONFID~~TIAL Ms. Tra',.;eek: This is official notification that you will be reduced in pay within your present class of Registered Nurse 2, range N45, step P, $3,543 per month to step L, $3,216 effective December 1, 1994 through February 28, 1995. This disciplinary action is taken pursuant to the Civil Service Law of Washington State, Chapter 41.06 RCW, and the Washington Administ:r-ative Cede, Title 356'W;'.C (HSR),· and Sections 356-34-010 (1) (a) Neglect of duty; (b) inefficiency; and (h) gross misconduct, and 356-34-020 Reduction in salary-DemotionProcedures. Specifically, On May 14, 1994 Offenderlll, DOC#~hO has a hear~ disease, presented herself to y~~ith complaints of dizziness, lightheadedness and fatigue. In response, you admittedly took her blood pressure and found abnormally low blood pressures (less than 60 in the second figure). Subsequently, you failed to record the offender's complaints or blood pressures in the medical record or chart (Primary Encounter Repor~, DOC 13435). Furthermore, you did not info~ Dr. Christopher Badger, Medical Duty Officer, of the complaint or low blood pressures. Instead, you dis~issed the offender from the clinic, and she returned to her living unit without specific instructions. These incidents are described in more detail in the Employee Conduct Report (ECR) completed on September 8, 1994 which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment #1. Minimum Health Record Documentation Requirements effective September 3, 1993 states in pertinent part: "DEFINITION: ENCOUNTER: Any face-to-face contact made by a health provider/practitioner (other than those occurring in connection with a group session) with an offender, whether '1. ~ ~J. _ '"' '·0; , for diagnostic, therapeutic or instructional purposes, which is sUfficiently substantive in nature to require an entry in the clinical record, log or treatment record ••. HEALTH RECORD: The record which contains all healthrelated information about an offender to include, but not limited to, medical, mental and dental health items of an identifying nature, data bases, assessment, treatment plans, diagnosis, treatment, progress, clinical events, and discharge or other summaries ••. PROCEDURE: GENERAL DOCUMENTATION PRINCIPLES: 10. At the conclusion of each encounter, the health care document diagnosis, impression, and/or· assessment. " provider/practitione~ shall You understood it was your responsibility to thoroughly review each section of the health care manual as evidenced by your signature on the signature sheet dated October 30, 1993. Your signature on this sheet certified that you reviewed, understood and could perform each procedure outlined in the Health Care Manual. A copy is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment #2. As a Registered Nurse(RN) you have a duty to work efficiently, exercise sound medical jUdgement and comply with standard nursing practices which are a part of any basic nurses training. A trained RN should know that a physician should be made aware of any or all abnormal physical condition(s) found during a patient examination and that it is required .to record patient contact (i.e. vital signs) in medical charts and records whenever a patient is examined or treated. Recording requirements and standards were reinforced by clinic practices regarding medical record documentation as published under "Minimum Health Record Documentation Requirements" in the nurses procedures manual at this institution as stated above. You neglected your duty and were inefficient when you admittedly "forgot" to write the offender's complaints and blood pressure readings in her medical records on May 14, 1994 in order to be in compliance with standard nursing practices and the "Nurses Procedure Manual" located in the clinic. "Forgetting to record critical medical information related to the progression of a heart patients condition and treatment places the patient at risk for severe medical complications and thereby cannot be tolerated. You further neglected your duty, were inefficient and committed an act of gross misconduct when you failed to notify Dr. Badger, the Medical Duty Officer, of the offender's complaints and blood pressure levels. You state that you didn't contact Or.· Badger because the offender had shown abnormally low blood pressure in 0603 / the past. But, according to Dr. Badger, your actions could have had serious implications as stated in his memorandum to Donna Horgan dated May 18, 1994. (Attachment #1, page 5 of 9) in pertinent part: 1I • • • The occurrence of this episode is extremely disturbing because Inmate has significant ischemic heart disease for which she receives a variety of medications. The level of her blood pressure was such that she would be at risk for life threatening complication such as a heart attack or a ••• (stroke) as injury from a syncopal episode if the low blood pressure continued. Fortunately, Inmatelll is quite insightful regarding her illness and its treaement. She appropriately attributed this low pressure to her medication changes and discontinued the Prozac on her own. Fortunately, this was sufficient to correct the hypotension and there were ne adverse consequences. Her blood pressure on May '16, 1994, was 110/80 ..• " . III A review of your personnel file was conducted to assist me in determining an appropriate sanction. Overall your work performance was rated "normal" with a fe'li areas assessed as "exceeds". Other information from your personnel record which is pertinent to this review include: 1.) Letter of appreciation - reporting for work under extreme weather condition. 2.) Letter of commendation - actions resulting in saving a staff's life. Your work performance has been good in some respects, however there is a previous incident in which you failed to follow established written procedures and demonstrated indifference in complying with those reporting procedures. This incident coupled with your present actions begins to establish a pattern in your behavior which is of concern. In determining the appropriate disciplinary action in this case, I have weighted both your overall work history and your willingness in assuming responsibility for your conduct as expressed during our meeting on August 18, 1994. Therefore I am persuaded that a reduction in your salary is appropriate for these circumstances. The delivery of poor Health Care performance which jeopardizes patient care or safety cannot and will not be tolerated at this institution. You are warned that future acts of this nature may result in further disciplinary action inclUding dismissal. Under the provisions of WAC 358-20-010 and 358-20-040, you have the right to appeal this action to the Personnel Appeals Board. Your appeal must be filed in writing at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Personnel Appeals Board, 2828 Capitol Boulevard, Olympia, Washington 98501, within thirty (30) days 0604 • . . after the effective date stated in paragraph 1 of this letter. As an alternative, You may file a grievance under the provisions of Article 10 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Department and the Washington Public Employees Association/to appeal this action to the Personnel Appeals Board, you'may not pursue a grievance over the same issue. The WACS, Department policies and Collec~ive Bargaining Agreement are available for your review upon request. ~tf3~ Alice Payne Superintendent AP:rjt Attachments cc: Jennie Adkins, Director, DHR (w/o/a) Kathy Nolan, Division Chief, Labor & Personnel Division James Blodgett, Deputy Director, Command B (w/o/a) Donna Grazzini, Area Personnel Manager, DOC Robert Turk, Personnel Officer, WCCW Personnel file c:wp\displtr\traweek.d1 -" RECEIVED • JUN 0 7 1995 STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT Of CORRECTIONS WASHINGTON CORRECTIONS CENTER FOR WOMEN P.O.

In addition, it alleges that she failed to notify the medical duty officer of A blood pressure in the log as 89/46, and in the ECR as 88/54. ~ Pinally, the ECR outlined a failure on the part of Nurse Traweek to register complaints expressed by inmate with regard \0 diZZiness and Iightheadedncss. It was the feeling of "the supervising nurse that patient safety, indifference toward patient 'tIelfare, an~ a liIethreatening condition all existed ~s a result of thcs~ actions. " III On the weekend ~ question, May 14 llnd 15,1994, inmate_had h~r blood pressure taken twice on Saturday by Nurse Traweek. Initially tl reading of 54/'44 wa~ obtained. Subsequently, Nurse Traweek used the wall mounted unit and recorded a re~ding o( 88.t54. ~ohnson took inmate_blood pressure on Sunday, with a readin.,g of 60/52. Inma\e_ medications'h:d7ecenUY been changed, with Protac being prescribed the previous Thursday. The inmate was concerned about her symptoms, and yet there was no documentation that she had ever ooen seen, let alone that any blood pressures had been taken. A memo qated May 18, 1994, by Christopher Badger, Medical Direct9r, to I?onna Morgan, Health Care Manager, expressed his strong concerns with regard to t~e manner in which this case had be~fl handled. Dr. Badger went on to point out that with in~l\ate_history of heart disease, s~e was al risk for life-threatening complications, such as he~rt attack or stroke. Inmate_herself, disconlinu'!d the Prozac which WdS prescribed (or her. Her blood pr!!Ssure is documented as being 110/80 on May 16, 1994. 1n this particular case~ the ECR had to be sent to the employee by Certified Mail on May 26, .1994, since she was "not able to receive it at home and had some diIfi~ulty going to the post office for It, even though tldvised to do so by Nurse Addison. She indicates that she finally received it Monday, June 6, 1994. Nurse Traweek indicates that during the period in question, she was extrenlcly busy, and while she did enter her findings in the 24-hour-log., she did not enter it in the medicZll CiJe. She raised question with regard to the seVerity of the blood pressure problem,·since lhis particular inmate has tl chronic history low blo04 pressure and had not been, in her mind, prescribed any medication for that problem. In r~ality, the hellrt disease experienced by jnmat. had led lo her to be on several medicati~ns, to include: Mediprol, a calcium blocker, "Nitrobid, and Prozac. These medications were tec~nical1y ordered for her heart, tlnd not specifically for hypotension, but they do effect blood pressure !lnd Medjprol is indicated for blood pressure probl~ms. . .

Supervisory Investigation: Bev Traweek, RN Page 2 June 10, 1994 In summary, it can be concluded that the necessity to repeat the bleod pr~sure ~t should . have led to a contact with the medical duty officer, as well as a review of the. file.in which it would have been noted that her medications now included Prozae. The prudent course of action was not taken in this case, and therefore it can be concluded that the patienes welfare was~~u~e~ . For the record, the union representative for Nuxse Traweek has asked that this ECR be dismissed as a result of the institution's failure to meet established time frames associated with' the report being delivered to the employee. My investigation of that situation has revealed that institution met its obligations with regud to that issue. ' the Robert R.

At that time she related a . e r disturbing occurrence over the week-end. According to inmate she came to the clinic both on Saturday, May 14, 1994, and Sun ay May 15, 1994, complaining of dizziness, light-headedness and fatigue. She related that her blood pressure was taken by Bev Traweek, RN, with the automatic machine and a reading of 54/44 was obtained. A repeat was 88/54. She was released from the clinic without specific instructions. She continued to be symptomatic and again came to the clinic on Sunday, May 15, 1994~ Cindy Johnson, ~took her blood pressure at that time and'it was 60/52. Inmate _ was particularly concerned about these low blood pressures because she had had a change in medication including an increase in a beta blocker lopressor and institution of Prozac therapy both on May 12, 1994. She was again dismissed from the clinic without soecific instructions. Of partiCUlar concern is that there is no documentation in the chart that indicates the patient was even seen let alone these low blood pressures were taken. I was not informed either Saturday, May 14, 1994, or Sunday, May IS, 1994, that this had occurred. The occurrence of this episode is extremely disturbing because Inmate. has significant ischemic heart disease for which she receives a variety of medications. The level of her blood pressure was such that she would be at risk for life threatening complication such as a heart attack or a stoke as well as injury from a syncopal episode if the low blood pressure continued. Fortunately, Inmatelllllis quite insightful regarding her illness and its treatment. ~appropriately attributed this low pressure to her medication changes and discontinued the Prozac on her own. Fortunately, this was sufficient to correct the hypotension and there were no adverse consequences. Her blood pressure on May 16, 1994, was 110/80. I believe this is extremely poor nursing practice on the part of both Nurse Traweek and Nurse Johnson. I would consider this malpractice.
