This failure posed the risk for changes in Resident 1's health condition to go undetected and possibly delay necessary care and treatment. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Change of Condition Notification revised 4/2015 showed a licensed nurse will document each shift for at least 72 hours for a change of condition.
