Section 449.2738 - Review of medical condition of resident; relocation or transfer of resident having certain medical needs or conditions1. If, after conducting an inspection or investigation of a residential facility, the Bureau determines that it is necessary to review the medical condition of a resident, the Bureau shall inform the administrator of the facility of the need for the review and the information the facility is required to submit to the Bureau to assist in the performance of the review. The administrator shall, within a period prescribed by the Bureau, provide to the Bureau: (a) The assessments made by physicians concerning the physical and mental condition of the resident; and(b) Copies of prescriptions for medication or orders of physicians for services or equipment necessary to provide care for the resident.2. If the Bureau or the resident's physician determines that the facility is prohibited from caring for the resident pursuant to NAC 449.271 to 449.2734, inclusive, or is unable to care for the resident in the proper manner, the administrator of the facility must be notified of that determination. Upon receipt of such a notification, the administrator shall, within a period prescribed by the Bureau, submit a plan to the Bureau for the safe and appropriate relocation of the resident pursuant to NRS 449.700 to a place where the proper care will be provided.3. If an inspection or investigation reveals that the conditions at a residential facility may immediately jeopardize the health and safety of a resident, the administrator of the facility shall, as soon as practicable, ensure that the resident is transferred to a facility which is capable of properly providing for his or her care.Nev.
