Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to ensure two of three sampled residents (Residents 1 and 3) attained and maintained the highest practicable physical well-being. * The facility to ensure Resident 1's nystatin external cream (a medicated cream used to treat fungal or yeast infections of the skin) was administered as per the physician's order. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 3's fluid restriction was followed as per the physician's order. These failures had the potential to negatively affect the residents' health condition and well- being.Findings: 1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Skin Assessment revised 5/2007 showed wound care/ treatment provided for the residents will be according to the physician's orders and documented in the resident's treatment administration record and/or in nursing progress notes or in the medication administration record if applicable. Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 7/9/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 1's Order Summary dated 6/20/25, showed a physician's order dated 5/20/25, to administer nystatin (antifungal cream) external cream 100000 unit/gm to the affected area topically twice a day. Review of Resident 1's H&P examination dated 6/26/25, showed Resident 1 had no capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 1's TAR for June 2025 failed to show a documentation if the nystatin external cream was administered to the affected area as ordered on the following dates and time: - on 6/5 to 6/8/25, 6/13, 6/14, and 6/16/25 at 1700 hours, and- on 6/15/25 at 0900 and 1700 hours On 7/9/25 at 1213 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 verified Resident 1's TAR for June 2025 failed to show a documentation if the nystatin external cream 100000 unit/gm was administered as ordered on the dates listed above. LVN 2 stated the nurses should place their initials after the administration of the treatment as ordered by the physician. LVN 2 further stated if the treatment administration record was not initialed by the nurse, the treatment was not performed. On 7/10/25 at 0839 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed of the findings. The DON stated the evening charge nurses should provide the skin treatment to their assigned residents. The DON further stated if the treatment was not documented, it meant the treatment was not administered as prescribed by the physician. 2. Review of the facility's P&P titled Fluid Restriction revised on May 2007 showed it is the policy of the facility to provide fluids as specified by the physician's order. Distribution of fluids will be determined by licensed nursing staff, dietary services supervisor, activities, social services and the resident. Fluid intake will be encouraged to meet minimum requirements as stated in the physician's orders. The dietary supervisor will ensure a care plan entry has been made. The total number of ml distribution among disciplines will be noted on the resident's care plan. The dietary services supervisor will divide the allotted total fluid amount for the dietary among the daily meal pattern and enter the specified amounts on the resident's dietary tray card.
