What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 12 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to assess if the resident was safe to self-administer medications for one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 6). A resident may only self-administer medications after the IDT (Inter Disciplinary Team) has determined which medications may be self-administered. This failure had the potential to result in unsafe medication administration, and could have allowed other residents to access unlocked medications. Residents Affected - Few Findings: During an observation on 12/13/21 at 10:00 a.m., an Aquaphor cream jar (a topical ointment for dry skin) and other personal cleaning products were found on Resident 6's bedside nightstand. During a follow-up observation on 12/14/21 at 3:51 p.m., multiple medications were found on Resident 6's bedside nightstand and over-bed table. During an interview on 12/14/21 at 4:00 p.m., with licensed vocational nurse H (LVN H) , she stated the medications found at Resident 6's bedside were Nystatin powder (a topical powder for fungal infection) and Biofreeze (a topical ointment for pain). LVN H further stated there should be no medication left at bedside. During an interview on 12/16/21 at 9:33 a.m., Resident 6 stated he would like to have Biofreeze at the bedside. During an interview on 12/16/21 at 1:05 pm, the director of nursing (DON) stated bedside medications brought in by family should be given to the charge nurse. The DON further stated if the resident prefers to self-administer a medication, facility would assess, and would obtain a physician order. During a review of Resident 6's electronic health record (EHR), no orders for Nystatin Powder and Biofreeze were found, and no assessment for self-administration of medication was found. Review of the facility's policy, Self-Administration of Medications, revised December 2016, indicated that staff shall identify and give to the charge nurse any medications found at the bedside that are not authorized for self-administration, for return to the family or responsible party. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's code status (instructions on what to do if the resident has no pulse and stops breathing) was clearly indicated in the medical record for one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 24). This failure had the potential to result in the facility not acting in accordance with Resident 24's wishes in the event of an emergency. Findings: Review of Resident 24's medical record indicated he was admitted on [DATE]. Resident 24's face sheet (document with basic information) did not specify his code status. The area of the face sheet titled Advance Directive [resident's wishes regarding medical treatment] was blank. Resident 24's undated Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST, document that specifies the medical treatments the resident wants to receive during serious illness) was reviewed. Most of the POLST was blank, including the section regarding what to do if the resident had no pulse or stopped breathing. During an interview and concurrent record review with the medical records director (MRD) on [DATE] at 3:20 p.m., the MRD stated the resident's code status should be indicated on the physician's orders. The MRD reviewed Resident 24's medical record and confirmed his code status was not specified on the physician's orders. The MRD also confirmed Resident 24's code status was not indicated on his face sheet. After searching Resident 24's record for some time, the MRD found a History and Physical, dated [DATE], that indicated Resident 24 demonstrated capacity (had the ability to make decisions) and was to have a code status of Do Not Resuscitate [allow natural death]. During an interview and concurrent record review with licensed vocational nurse B (LVN B) on [DATE] at 3:37 p.m., LVN B was asked to explain what he would do if Resident 24 had no pulse and was not breathing. LVN B stated he would confirm if the resident wanted CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a procedure consisting of chest compressions and artificial breaths) by looking at the POLST or electronic health record. LVN B reviewed Resident 24's POLST and confirmed it was blank. He then opened Resident 24's electronic health record and confirmed that the area designated for code status was blank. LVN B then stated that in this situation, he would assume Resident 24 was full code (all resuscitation procedures are to be provided to keep the resident alive) and start CPR. On [DATE] at 4:00 p.m., the MRD presented an untitled document for Resident 24, dated 5/10, that indicated, Do Not Resuscitate. The facility's policy titled Advance Directives, revised 12/2016, indicated Advance directives will be respected in accordance with state law and facility policy. Information about whether or not the resident has executed an advanced directive shall be displayed prominently in the medical record. The plan of care for each resident will be consistent with his or her documented treatment preferences and/or advance directive.our facility has defined advanced directives as preferences regarding treatment options and include, but are not limited to: e. Do Not Resuscitate - indicates that, in case of respiratory or cardiac failure, the resident, legal guardian, health care proxy, or representative (sponsor) has directed that no cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or other life-sustaining treatments or methods are to be used.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 5. Review of Resident 12's clinical record indicated he was admitted on [DATE] and had diagnoses that included acute respiratory failure (when fluid builds up in the air sacs in the lungs), difficulty in walking, shortness of breath, abnormal posture, exhaustion due to excessive exertion, and need for assistance with personal care. Residents Affected - Some Review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set (MDS, assessment tool), dated 10/2/2021, indicated he had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a screening tool to assess cognition) score of 13. This score indicates intact cognitive response. Review of Resident 12's current PT (physical therapy) Evaluation and Treatment indicated, Gait: requires contact guard assist [CGA, the assisting person has one or two hands on the resident's body but provides no other assistance to perform the functional mobility task]. During an observation on 12/15/2021 at 10:06 a.m., Resident 12 was walking in the hallway using a front wheel walker (FWW, device that provides additional support to maintain balance or stability while walking). Physical therapist K (PT K) was supporting Resident 12 by the waist with her left hand, and using the other hand for a wheelchair to follow Resident 12 during walking. Resident 12 was also receiving oxygen per nasal cannula (a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a patient or person in need of respiratory help) via oxygen tank, which was strapped to the back of the wheelchair. No gait belt was observed around Resident 12's waist. During an interview with the PT K on 12/15/2021 at 10:15 a.m., PT K confirmed that Resident 12 was not wearing a gait belt. PT K stated gait belts were used during ambulation for safety. During an interview with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 12/15/2021 at 3:10 p.m., she stated that a gait belt should be used when assisting residents during therapy for safety. During an interview with Resident 12 on 12/17/2021 at 9:00 a.m., he stated that a gait belt was usually used when walking during therapy for safety because he gets dizzy and nervous sometimes during therapy. Resident 12 further stated he did not know why a gait belt was not used last time he had therapy. Review of the facility's undated policy titled Gait Belts, indicated To promote prevention of patient falls while treatment is being rendered and to reduce injury to staff assisting patients. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice for five of 15 sampled residents (Residents 55, 35, 58, 6 and 12) when: 1. Nursing staff provided ice chips to Resident 55, who had a strict nothing by mouth (NPO, no food or drinks) doctor's order; 2. Nursing staff did not provide Resident 35's right hand carrot orthosis (device used to prevent further stiffening of the hand) as ordered; 3. Nursing staff did not provide a left fifth finger splint to Resident 58 as ordered; (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055517 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 20 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 055517 B.

F 0684 4. For Resident 6, the charge nurse signed for a treatment that was provided by the treatment nurse; and Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 5. The physical therapist did not use a gait belt (device attached to the resident to assist with transferring and walking) while walking Resident 12 when indicated. Residents Affected - Some These failures had the potential to affect the residents' care and jeopardize their health and well-being. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 55's clinical record indicated he was admitted with the diagnosis of dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) following cerebral infarction (also called stroke). During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/13/21 at 12:11 p.m., with Resident 55's family member, a pitcher of ice chips was on Resident 55's overbed table. Resident 55's family member stated, he can only have ice chips. During an observation on 12/15/21 at 10:15 a.m. inside Resident 55's room, a pitcher of ice chips was observed on top of the overbed table. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/15/21 at 10:22 a.m., licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C) reviewed resident 55's physician order and did not find an order for ice chips. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/15/21 at 10:33 a.m., the nurse supervisor (NS) reviewed Resident 55's physician order and confirmed there was no order for the resident to have ice chips. During an interview on 12/16/21 at 12:50 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) stated a physician's order was needed prior to giving ice chips to Resident 55. 2. A review of Resident 35's clinical record indicated she was admitted with the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (a condition characterized by memory loss). A review of Resident 35's physician order, dated 12/4/2020, indicated Apply right hand carrot d/t (due to) contractures (stiffness of joints). Check skin integrity for breakdown, every shift. A review of Resident 35's occupational therapy Discharge summary, dated [DATE], indicated Discharge Recommendations: Hand carrot orthosis on right hand. During an observation on 12/13/21 at 9:27 a.m., while Resident 35 was in bed, there was no hand carrot orthosis observed to right hand. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/14/21 at 10:00 a.m., the treatment nurse (TN) was looking for Resident 35's hand carrot orthosis. The TN stated Resident 35 used a carrot to the right hand for contractures. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/15/21 at 10:17 a.m., LVN C stated Resident 35 should have the carrot to her right hand.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/15/21 at 10:44 a.m., the NS reviewed Resident 35's list of care plans and confirmed there was no care plan regarding Resident 35's refusal to use the right-hand carrot orthosis. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/15/21 at 1:54 p.m., with certified nursing assistant G (CNA G), the carrot was observed on top of Resident 35's overbed table. CNA G stated Resident 35 threw the carrot to the floor. During an interview on 12/16/21 at 12:50 p.m., the DON confirmed she was not aware of Resident 35's refusal to use the carrot orthosis. The DON stated nursing staff should have notified the physician, the family and care planned the refusal of carrot use. 3. During an observation on 12/13/21 at 12:13 p.m., in Resident 58's room, a blue finger brace was found on the floor. Resident 58 did not have a finger brace on his hand. During an interview on 12/13/21 at 1:00 p.m., CNA I stated he did not know whose finger brace it was. CNA I picked up the finger brace and threw it in the garbage, without notifying the charge nurse. During an observation on 12/14/21 at 10:00 a.m., Resident 58 did not have a finger brace on. During an interview on 12/15/21 at 1:52 p.m., LVN C stated Resident 58 had an order to apply a finger brace to the left little finger. During an interview on 12/15/21 at 3:15 p.m., LVN H stated staff could not find the blue finger brace for several days. Reviewed of Resident 58's Electronic Health Record (EHR) indicated Resident 58 had the diagnoses of dislocation of distal interphalangeal joint of left little finger (left little finger out of place) and dementia (a disease with memory loss). Review of Resident 58's physician order, dated 12/9/21, indicated apply finger brace to left little finger at all times. Review of Resident 58's EHR indicated there was no care plan regarding the intervention of applying a finger brace to the left little finger.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide services to promote healing of pressure ulcers (damage to the skin and underlying tissue as a result of prolonged pressure) for one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 11) when: Residents Affected - Few 1. The facility did not obtain treatment orders for the resident's multiple pressure ulcers in a timely manner; 2. There was no documentation indicating the facility provided treatments for the resident's multiple pressure ulcers; and 3. The facility did not develop care plans to address the resident's multiple pressure ulcers. These failures had the potential to result in worsening pressure ulcers and the development of new pressure ulcers for Resident 11. Findings: Review of Resident 11's medical record indicated she was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 11's Baseline Admission/readmission Screen document, dated 12/12/2021, indicated Resident 11 had one pressure ulcer on her left heel, one on her right heel, four on her back, one on her sacrum (tailbone area), one on her left buttock, and one on her right elbow (nine total pressure ulcers). The pressure ulcers were of different sizes and severities. Review of Resident 11's December 2021, Order Summary Report indicated she did not have orders for treatment of the above pressure ulcers until 12/16/2021 (four days after the resident was noted with pressure ulcers upon readmission). Resident 11's December 2021, treatment administration record (TAR) was reviewed on 12/17/2021. There was no documentation indicating the facility provided treatment for any of Resident 11's multiple pressure ulcers from 12/12/2021 to 12/16/2021. During an interview and concurrent record review with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/17/2021 at 10:42 a.m., she acknowledged that when a resident is noted with pressure ulcers, treatments should be initiated right away. The DON reviewed Resident 11's record and confirmed there were no pressure ulcer treatment orders until 12/16/2021. She also confirmed there was no documentation indicating the facility provided pressure ulcer treatments from 12/12/2021 to 12/16/2021. The DON acknowledged that if the treatments were not documented, they were not done. Further review of Resident 11's medical record indicated there were no care plans to address her multiple pressure ulcers. During an interview and concurrent record review with the DON on 12/17/2021 at 11:29 a.m., she reviewed Resident 11's record and confirmed there were no care plans to address her multiple pressure ulcers. The DON stated the facility was supposed to develop a separate care plan for each individual pressure ulcer.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement appropriate new interventions after a fall for one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 9). This failure had the potential to result in Resident 9 experiencing further falls and injury. Findings: Review of Resident 9's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] and had the diagnoses of disorientation (a state of mental confusion), glaucoma (condition that causes gradual loss of sight), and abnormalities of gait (manner of walking) and mobility. Review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Sets (MDS, assessment tools) dated 9/14/2020, 9/30/2020 and 12/31/2020, indicated she had brief interview for mental status (BIMS) scores ranging from 5 to 11 (these scores indicate moderate to severe cognitive impairment). Review of Resident 9's care plan, dated 9/4/2020, indicated she was at high risk for falls and injury related to use of psychotropic medications (medications used to treat mental disorders). The care plan included interventions such as, Encourage resident to use call light and wait for staff assistance prior to transferring and Provide assistance needed with transfer and ambulation [walking]. Review of Resident 9's Progress Notes, dated 1/22/2021, indicated she had a fall while transferring herself from bed to wheelchair. Review of Resident 9's Post Fall Evaluation, dated 1/25/2021, indicated Resident 9 forgot to ask for staff assistance and claimed she could transfer by herself. The Post Fall Evaluation further indicated Resident 1 needed re-education, and the interdisciplinary team (IDT, staff from different disciplines who work together to plan and provide care) recommended to encourage the resident to use the call light to call for assistance. During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/16/2021 at 8:58 a.m., she confirmed that when a resident falls, the facility should develop and implement a new intervention to try and prevent future falls. During an interview and concurrent record review with the DON on 12/17/2021 at 8:25 a.m., she reviewed Resident 9's record and confirmed that after the resident fell on 1/22/2021, the IDT recommended to encourage the resident to use the call light for assistance. She stated the IDT also recommended to provide assistance during transfers. The DON confirmed these interventions were already in place before Resident 9 fell on 1/22/2021, and the IDT did not develop new interventions. The DON also acknowledged that encouraging and/or providing reminders were not appropriate interventions to prevent future falls for Resident 9 because her cognition was impaired. The facility's policy titled Falls Management Program, revised 1/2019, indicated The Interdisciplinary Team will reassess the risk factors contributing to falls and interventions to minimize recurrence of falls and injury during the initial, quarterly and annual assessment, post fall and when a significant change of condition is identified. The Interdisciplinary Team will review the appropriateness of the interventions.

Residents Affected - Few A review of Resident 12's physician order, dated 10/28/21, indicated Change humidifier bottle every week, every Sunday and as needed (PRN) when empty. During observations on 12/13/21 at 9:17 a.m. and on 9/14/21 at 1:10 p.m., Resident 12 was in bed, with oxygen at six LPM and no humidifier bottle connected to the oxygen concentrator. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/15/21 at 10:40 a.m., the nurse supervisor (NS) reviewed Resident 12's physician order and confirmed the resident had an order for humidifier. During an interview on 12/16/21 at 12:50 p.m., the DON confirmed Resident 12 did not have an oxygen humidifier when she did her rounds on 12/15/21. Review of the facility's policy titled Oxygen Administration, dated 2/2014, indicated Steps in the Procedure: Check the mask, tank, humidifying jar, etc., to be sure they are in good working order and are securely fastened. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of 15 sampled residents (Residents 18 and 12) received humidified oxygen while on an oxygen concentrator (medical device that gives extra oxygen). This failure had the potential to affect the residents' health and well-being. Findings: 1. Review of Resident 18's clinical record indicated she was admitted with the diagnoses of acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (not enough oxygen in the blood), chronic pulmonary edema (condition caused by excess fluid in the lungs), and pleural effusion (build up of fluid between the tissues that line the lungs and chest). During an observation on 12/14/21 at 10:30 a.m., Resident 18 was lying in bed and receiving oxygen at two liters per minute (LPM, unit of measurement) per nasal cannula (NC, narrow, flexible plastic tubing used to deliver oxygen through the nostrils) via oxygen concentrator. The NC was not attached to the humidifier bottle (a bottle filled with water connected to the oxygen concentrator, to keep the nostrils moist). During an observation and concurrent interview with licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C) on 12/14/2021 at 10:35 a.m., LVN C confirmed the above observation and stated that the NC was not attached to the humidifier. LVN C immediately attached the NC to the humidifier bottle. During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/15/2021 at 3:00 p.m., the DON stated that staff should make sure oxygen concentrators are set up properly.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to document administration of controlled medications (medications controlled by the government because they may be abused or cause addiction) on the controlled medication accountability sheet (count sheet) for three residents (Residents 6, 11 and 16). This failure compromised the facility's ability to ensure accurate administration of medications. Findings: Review of Resident 11's controlled medication accountability sheet on 12/14/21, indicated the remaining count of Pregabalin (nerve pain medication) 50 milligrams (mg, unit dose of measurement) was 17, but the medication stock count was 16. During an interview with licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C) on 12/14/21 at 10:45 a.m., she stated she gave one dose of Pregabalin 50 mg around 10:00 a.m., today, but did not document it yet. The LVN stated she should have documented it right away. Review of Resident 16's controlled medication accountability sheet on 12/14/21, indicated the remaining count of Metronidazole (antibiotics) 500 mg was 20, but the medication stock count was 19. The controlled medication accountability sheet also indicated the remaining count of Vancomycin (antibiotics) 125 mg was 7, but the medication stock count was 6. During an interview with LVN D on 12/14/21 at 11:15 a.m., she stated she gave one dose of Metronidazole 500 mg and one dose of Vancomycin 125 mg that morning, but did not document yet. The LVN stated she should document when she administered the medications. Review of Resident 6's controlled medication accountability sheet on 12/14/21, indicated the remaining count of Testosterone (major sex hormone in male) 200 mg/milliliter (ml, unit dose of measurement) was 1, but the medication was not in the medication cart. During an interview with LVN D on 12/14/21 at 11:15 a.m., she stated she gave one dose of Testosterone 200 mg/ml this morning, but did not document it yet. The LVN stated she should document when she gave the medication. During an interview with the DON on 12/14/21 at 1:07 p.m., she confirmed the licensed nurses should document administration of controlled medications on the controlled medication accountability sheet when the medications are administered. Review of the facility's policy, Medication Storage in the Facility, Controlled Medication Storage, dated April 2008, indicated, a physical inventory of all controlled medication is documented on the controlled medication accountability record.

F 0757 Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 50) had the appropriate indication for the use of Nuedexta (medication for pseudobulbar affect). This failure put the resident at risk for receiving unnecessary medication. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Review of Resident 50's clinical record indicated she had the diagnosis of unspecified psychosis (a mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality) and did not have the diagnosis of pseudobulbar affect (a nervous system disorder that causes inappropriate involuntary laughing and crying). Review of Resident 50's physician orders, dated 12/04/21, indicated Nuedexta 20-10 milligrams (mg, unit of dose measurement) by mouth two times a day for psychosis manifested by hallucination. During an interview and concurrent record review with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/15/21 at 2:56 p.m., Resident 50's Consultant pharmacist's medication regimen review, dated 10/6/21, indicated Clarify diagnosis for use of Nuedexta. This is only approved for pseudobulbar affect. The DON stated she was aware of the pharmacy consultant recommendation, and verified Nuedexta was approved for pseudobulbar affect, not for Psychosis. During an interview and concurrent record review with the DON on 12/15/21 at 2:56 p.m., Resident 50's physician orders, dated 12/4/21, indicated Psychological/psychiatric evaluation and treatment as needed. The DON confirmed there was no psychological/psychiatric evaluation. During an interview and concurrent record review with the DON on 12/15/21 at 2:56 p.m., she reviewed Resident 50's record and verified the resident was on Nuedexta 20-10 mg for Psychosis manifested by hallucination. The DON stated nurses used an inappropriate indication for Nuedexta. Review of the facility's policy, Medication administration, dated April 2008, indicated If a medication order seems to be unrelated to the resident's diagnosis or conditions, the nurse calls the provider pharmacy for clarification or contacts the prescriber for clarification.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 50) was free of unnecessary psychotropic medications (medications capable of affecting the mind, emotions and behavior) when there was no documentation of monitoring for the specific target behavior of paranoid ideation. This failure resulted in lack of adequate behavior monitoring and had the potential for the resident to receive unnecessary psychotropic medications. Findings: Review of Resident 50's clinical record indicated she had the diagnosis of unspecified psychosis (a mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality). Review of Resident 50's physician orders, dated 12/4/21, indicated Risperidone [medication for mental/mood disorder] 0.5 milligrams [mg, unit of dose measurement] by mouth at bedtime for psychosis manifested by paranoid ideation. The orders also indicated, Monitor episodes of paranoid ideation and document number of episode(s) every shift. During an interview and concurrent record review with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/15/21 at 2:56 p.m., she reviewed Resident 50's record and confirmed there was no documentation of monitoring for the specific target behavior of paranoid ideation. The DON stated staff should monitor for specific target behavior not general behavior, and the resident's specific target behavior of paranoid ideation was seeing things outside of window. During an interview and concurrent record review with licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C) on 12/15/21 at 3:30 p.m., she reviewed Resident 50's record and confirmed there was no documentation of monitoring for the specific target behavior of paranoid ideation.
