**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received timely incontinence
care (providing support, management, and treatment for people who can't control their bladder or bowel) for
three of four sampled residents (Residents 1, 2, and 4).This deficient practice had the potential to
negatively affect Resident 1, 2, and 4's comfort, dignity, and safety, and had the potential to lead to
pressure-related skin injuries (localized, pressure-related damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue
usually over a bony prominence). Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated Resident 1 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 1's
diagnoses included muscle weakness, ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease- irreversible kidney failure),
abnormalities of gait and mobility, cataracts (cloudy area in the lens of the eye that leads to a decrease in
vision of the eye), and hypertension (high blood pressure). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data
Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 9/28/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1's cognitive skills
(ability to think and reason) for daily decision making were moderately impaired. The MDS indicated
Resident 1 was entirely dependent on staff for toileting hygiene and sitting to standing. The MDS indicated
Resident 1 required substantial or maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for bed
mobility, performing a bed-to-chair and toileting transfer, lower body dressing, and showering. During a
review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated 9/18/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had
fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Braden Scale for
Predicting Pressure Sore Risk, dated 11/6/2025, the Braden Scale indicated Resident 1's was at risk for the
development of a pressure sores (pressure ulcer- localized, pressure-related damage to the skin and/or
underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence). During a review of Resident 1's At Risk for Falls Care
plan, dated 9/18/2025, the Care Plan indicated Resident 1 was at risk for falls due to issues with balance,
transfers, bowel and bladder incontinence, and generalized weakness. The Care Plan indicated Resident 1
required a prompt response to all requests for assistance. The Care Plan interventions were to anticipate
and meet Resident 1's needs and reinforce the use of the call light. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at
9:00 a.m. with Resident 1, in Resident 1's room, Resident 1 stated, They [facility staff] treat these patients
like animals. They stick you in the bed, put the cover over you, walk out the room, and never come back.
Resident 1 stated he recently had an encounter with a rude male certified nursing assistant (CNA) that
ignored his request to be cleaned after he had a bowel movement while he sat in his wheelchair around
4:00 p.m. Resident 1 stated the male CNA answered his call light, looked me and left. Resident 1 stated he
was left to sit on his bowel movement from 4:30 p.m. through 10:30 p.m. Resident 1 stated, It was a ghost
town out there and had to repeatedly call for help after his call light was left unanswered for hours. Resident
1 stated his legs started to hurt, so he attempted to transfer himself from his wheelchair to his bed and got
stuck in between the

wheelchair and the bed in the process. Resident 1 stated, around 10:30 p.m. the male CNA finally came
back and cleaned him. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 2:27 p.m. with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated he was
Resident 1's assigned nurse during the 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift on 12/8/2025. CNA 1 stated when he entered
Resident 1's room at approximately 4:00 p.m., Resident 1 was sitting on his wheelchair and immediately
refused care from him, telling him to get the f*ck out of [his] room. CNA 1 stated he informed the charge
nurse of the refusal, and the charge nurse instructed him to find another CNA to switch assignments. CNA
1 stated he attempted to locate another CNA to assume care for Resident 1 but was unsuccessful. CNA 1
stated he did not inform the charge nurse that CNA 1 was unable to secure an alternative CNA assignment.
CNA 1 stated he assumed Resident 1 would eventually agree to receive care and did not pursue further
intervention. CNA 1 stated he ultimately provided incontinence care to Resident 1 at approximately 10:30
p.m., prior to the end of his shift. CNA 1 stated that upon providing care, Resident 1 had a large amount of
bowel movement which appeared dried and crusted, which may have indicated Resident 1 was soiled for
an extended amount of time. CNA 1 stated he should have informed the charge nurse when he was unable
to arrange alternative coverage so that another solution could have been implemented to ensure Resident
1's needs were met in a timely manner. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 had the right to refuse care from CNA 1
and request reassignment. CNA 1 stated due to the lack of communication with his charge nurse, an
alternative work assignment was not arranged. CNA 1 stated this delay resulted in Resident 1 sitting on a
soiled incontinence pad for an extended amount of time, from approximately 4:30 p.m. through 10:30 p.m.
During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 1:51 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
residents had the right to refuse care from a specific CNA. The DON stated CNA 1 should have made the
Registered Nurse (RN) Supervisor or his charge nurse aware of Resident 1's refusal so that the licensed
nurses could have found an alternate solution to ensure Resident 1's needs were met. The DON stated
Resident 1 should have received incontinence care promptly and with appropriate communication and
follow-up, care could have been provided in a timely manner. The DON stated the delay in providing care
placed Resident 1 at risk for skin breakdown and did not ensure the provision of dignified care. 2. During a
review of Resident 4's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Resident 4's diagnoses included muscle weakness, issues with gait and mobility, and
ankylosing spondylitis of multiple sites of the spine (inflammatory disease that affects the spine, causing
pain and stiffness). During a review of Resident 4's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 4's
cognitive skills for daily decision making was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 4 required partial to
moderate assistance for toileting hygiene, lower body dressing, showering and bed mobility. The MDS
indicated Resident 4 was at risk for developing a pressure ulcer. During a concurrent observation and
interview on 12/12/2025 at 9:10 a.m. with Resident 4, in Resident 4's room, observed Resident 4 push the
call light and inform CNA 2 that she needed to be cleaned. CNA 2 stated she would return to clean
Resident 4 after she provided care to another resident. During a concurrent observation and interview on
12/12/2025 at 9:52 a.m. with Resident 4, observed Resident 4 push the call light. Resident 4 stated that she
was not cleaned. Observed an unidentified CNA respond to the call light and state that she would inform
CNA 2. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/12/2025 at 10:00 a.m. with CNA 2, in Resident
4's room, observed CNA 2 provide incontinence care to Resident 4. CNA 2 stated she was busy with her
other residents because another CNA called off. CNA 2 stated residents should receive incontinence care
no later than 30 minutes after an episode of incontinence. CNA 2 stated if Resident 4 was left soiled for
approximately an hour, Resident 4 was placed at risk for skin break down and the delay would have made
Resident 4 feel less dignified. 3. During a review of

pericare. FM 1 stated, on 11/29/2025 at approximately 11:30 a.m., Resident 2 had to wait approximately an
hour and a half before receiving incontinence care. During an interview 12/11/2025 at 8:36 a.m. with
Resident 2, Resident 2 stated it usually took a long time the for the staff to clean her and it made her feel
uncomfortable. Resident 2 stated the nurses did not change her throughout the night shift. During an
interview on 12/12/2025 at 11:34 a.m. with CNA 3, CNA 3 stated she was Resident 2's assigned CNA on

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan in a timely
manner for one of three residents (Resident 2) who was at risk for skin breakdown. This deficient practice
had the potential for the resident to not receive appropriate care and treatment and to develop or have
worsening skin issues. Findings:During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (Face sheet), the
admission record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 11/18/2025 with diagnoses including right
hemiplegia (the loss of ability to move the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body), hemiparesis
(weakness on one side of the body, affecting the arm, leg, or face), and muscle weakness.During a review
of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P) dated 11/19/2025, the H&P indicated the resident was alert,
oriented, but had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions.During a review of Resident 2's
MDS Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 11/24/2025, indicated Resident 99's
cognitive function was intact (alert, oriented and able to recall information). During a review of Resident 2's
Braden Scale dated 11/18/2025, with a score of 15 (scoring of 15-18) indicating resident was at risk for skin
breakdown. During a record review with Record Review of Resident 2's Care Plan Report, initiated on
12/11/2025, the Care Plan Report indicated the Resident 2 had the potential for skin breakdown related
due to bowel and bladder incontinence requiring repositioning assistance. During an interview and record
review on 12/5/2025 at 1:10 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated interventions to prevent skin
breakdown included repositioning every two hours, providing proper nutrition, performing daily wound care,
maintaining residents' dryness and cleanliness, and conducting frequent rounds. RN 1 stated the care plan
should be completed upon admission and updated with any changes in residents' conditions, and if a
resident was identified as at risk on the Braden Scale (a tool for assessing skin breakdown risk), a new
assessment and care plan should be created immediately following the Braden Scale assessment. RN 1
stated Resident 2 was admitted on [DATE] and identified as at risk for skin breakdown, but the care plan for
skin breakdown was initiated on 12/11/2025, one month later. RN 1 stated the care plan for Resident 2's
risk of skin breakdown was important to establish preventative measures, interventions, and goals. RN 1
stated because Resident 2's care plan was initiated a month later, necessary preventions were not
monitored, and tracking the start or progress of interventions and goals was not possible. During a review
of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised
December 2016, the P&P indicated 12. The comprehensive, person-centered care plan is developed within
seven (7) days of the completion of the required comprehensive assessment.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to update care plan for one of three sampled
residents (Resident 3) to include the resident's noncompliance with non-weight bearing on right foot due to
diabetic ulcer (an open wound due to nerve damage and poor circulation) of the right heel.This deficient
practice had the potential to place the resident at risk for complications including delayed wound healing
and infection. Findings:During a review of Resident 3's admission Record (Face sheet), the admission
Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 10/2/2025 with diagnoses including osteomyelitis
(inflammation of bone or bone marrow, usually due to infection), type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM- a disorder
characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing) and hypertension (HTN- high
blood pressure). During a review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool),
dated 10/8/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 3 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to think and
understand). The MDS indicated Resident 3 required maximal assistance from staff for toileting, bathing
and dressing and required supervision for eating. The MDS indicated Resident 3 had diabetic foot
ulcers.During a review of Resident 3's Non-Pressure Injury Skin Problem Report [document completed by
treatment nurse (nurse providing specialized nursing care such as wound care) includes assessment,
measurements and treatments of skin breakdown not caused by direct pressure], dated 11/14/2025,
indicated Resident (was) advised non-weight bearing and continues to be seen several times walking on
her feet.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/12/2025 at 11:32 a.m. with the Treatment
Nurse (TXN) 1, Resident 3's Skin/Wound Note, dated 11/19/2025 was reviewed. Resident 3's Skin/Wound
Note indicated, Resident 3 seen transferring self-bearing weight on both legs despite wound care specialist
recommendations of non-weight bearing. TXN 1 stated she wrote a Skin/Wound Note after observing
Resident 3 walk despite education from TXN 1 and Wound Care Specialist regarding importance of
non-weight bearing status. Resident 3's Care Plan, dated 10/3/2025, indicated Resident 3 has diabetic
ulcer of the right heel related to diabetes. TXN 1 stated Resident 3's care plan did not have any revisions to
include Resident 3's noncompliance with non-weight bearing order. TXN 1 stated there should be
interventions that addressed Resident 3's noncompliance and failure to update care plans places the
resident at risk for complications such as delayed wound healing and infection.During a concurrent
interview and record review on 12/12/2025 at 1:49 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, Resident 3's Care
Plan Report titled The resident has diabetic ulcer of the right heel related to Diabetes dated 10/3/2025 was
reviewed. RN 1 stated Resident 3's care plan did not have any revisions to include Resident 3's
noncompliance with non-weight bearing order. RN 1 stated care plans should be revised any time the
residents' conditions change, and facility should implement interventions to address these changes. RN 1
stated all licensed nurses involved in residents care were responsible for revising care plans. RN 1 stated
failure to update Resident 3's care plan to include interventions to address noncompliance can place the
resident at risk for complications such as delayed wound healing and infection.During a concurrent
interview and record review on 12/12/2025 at 3:33 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 3's
Care Plan dated 10/3/2025 was reviewed. The DON stated Resident 3's care plan did not have any
revisions to include Resident 3's noncompliance with non-weight bearing order. The DON stated updating
care plans for behaviors such as noncompliance was important to ensure care team was aware of
residents' behaviors and to implement interventions to address noncompliance. The DON stated failure to
update Resident 3's care plan can result in complications such as delayed wound healing and
infection.During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Care Plans, Comprehensive

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an order for non-weight bearing for the
right foot was transcribed from a doctor's order for one of three sampled residents (Resident 3) into
Resident 3's electronic health record . This deficient practice placed Resident 3 at risk of non-weight
bearing order not being followed and delayed wound healing. Findings:During a review of Resident 3's
admission Record (Face sheet), the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on
10/2/2025 with diagnoses including osteomyelitis (inflammation of bone or bone marrow, usually due to
infection), type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM- a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and
poor wound healing) and hypertension (HTN- high blood pressure). During a review of Resident 3's
Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 10/8/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 3 had
moderately impaired cognition (ability to think and understand). The MDS indicated Resident 3 required
maximal assistance from staff for toileting, bathing and dressing and required supervision for eating. The
MDS indicated Resident 3 had diabetic foot ulcers (an open wound that develops in people with diabetes
due to nerve damage and poor circulation) and required application of wound dressings to feet. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 12/12/2025 at 4:04 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, Resident
3's Wound Care Specialist visit note dated 11/7/2025 was reviewed. The Wound Care Specialist visit note
indicated Resident 3 had right heel diabetic and surgical wound and order for non-weight bearing on the
right foot. RN 1 stated the wound doctor provides the treatment nurse (nurse providing specialized nursing
care such as wound care) with a paper and verbally communicates new orders after each wound care visit,
and the treatment nurse is responsible for placing wound doctor's orders. During a review of Resident 3's
orders, RN 1 stated there were no orders indicating Resident 3 was non-weight bearing on the right foot.
RN 1 stated failure to ensure non-weight bearing order was transcribed had the potential to result in
non-weight bearing order not being followed and complications including impaired wound healing, injury
and infection.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/12/2025 at 3:33 p.m. with the Director
of Nursing (DON), Resident 3's Wound Care Specialist visit note dated 11/7/2025 was reviewed. The DON
stated the Wound Care Specialist visit note indicated an order of non-weight bearing on the right foot. The
DON stated there were no orders indicating Resident 3 was non-weight bearing on the right foot. The DON
stated Medical Records and Quality Assurance (QA) nurse also reads the wound doctor's notes after each
wound care visit and was responsible for notifying the RN or DON of new orders needing to be placed. The
DON stated failure to ensure non-weight bearing order was transcribed placed the resident at risk of
non-weight bearing order not being followed and impaired wound healing. During a review of the facility's
policy and procedure (P&P) titled Verbal Orders dated 2/2014, the P&P indicated, Verbal orders are those
given by an authorized practitioner directly to a person authorized to receive and transcribe orders on his or
her behalf .

interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a licensed nurse notified the physician and received
clarification of orders of a scheduled medication for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1). This
deficient practice led to an unapproved alteration of Resident 1's ordered medication regimen and had the
potential to result in untreated pain caused by muscle spasms. Cross reference F842.Findings: During a
review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was initially admitted
to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 1's diagnoses included muscle weakness, ESRD (End Stage Renal
Disease-irreversible kidney failure), abnormalities of gait and mobility, cataracts (cloudy area in the lens of
the eye that leads to a decrease in vision of the eye), and hypertension (high blood pressure). During a
review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 9/28/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 1's cognitive skills (ability to think and reason) for daily decision making were
moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was entirely dependent on staff for toileting hygiene
and sitting to standing. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required substantial or maximal assistance (helper
does more than half the effort) for bed mobility, performing a bed-to-chair and toileting transfer, lower body
dressing, and showering. During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated 9/18/2025, the
H&P indicated Resident 1 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of
Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated 12/12/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated the
following:1. Midodrine hydrochloride (HCL) oral tablet (a medication used to treat low blood pressure) 10
milligrams (mg - a unit of measurement) give one tablet by mouth every six hours for hypotension (low
blood pressure). Hold for a systolic blood pressure (SBP - the top number in a blood pressure reading,
indicated the amount of pressure on the blood vessels) greater than 110.2. Methocarbamol oral tablet 1000
mg one tablet by mouth every eight hours for muscle spasms (sudden, painful, involuntary tightening of a
muscle).3. Norco tablet (Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen, a medication used to treat pain) 5-325 mg one
tablet every six hours as needed for severe pain. During a concurrent interview and record review on
12/11/2025 at 8:42 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4, Resident 1's Medication Administration
Record (MAR) and Nursing Progress Notes, dated 12/2025, were reviewed. The MAR indicated Resident
1's 6 a.m. dose of methocarbamol was held on 12/10/2025. The MAR also indicated Resident 1 was
administered a Norco tablet 5-325 mg (Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen) at 5:37 a.m. on 12/11/2025. The
MAR and the Nursing Progress Notes indicated no reason for holding Resident 1's dose of methocarbamol.
LVN 4 stated the normal process for holding a medication included documenting the reason the medication
was held. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 3:02 p.m. with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated LVN 3 was Resident 1's
nurse on the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift on 12/9/2025 to 12/10/2025. LVN 3 stated he held Resident 1's 6 a.m.
dose of methocarbamol on 12/10/2025 because LVN 3 administered one tablet of Norco Tablet 5-325 mg
(Hydrocodone- Acetaminophen [ a pain medication]) during that same time frame (6 a.m.). LVN 3 stated he
believed muscle relaxants should not be administered concurrently with narcotics (substances used to treat
moderate to severe pain) due to the risk of respiratory compromise. LVN 3 stated he should have notified
the physician and obtained a clarifying order to hold methocarbamol. During an interview with the Director
of Nursing (DON) on 12/12/2025 at 1:51 p.m., the DON stated when muscle relaxants were
co-administered with narcotics, the licensed nurses were expected to assess the resident and administer
the medications as ordered if deemed safe, unless the physician's order specified otherwise. The DON
stated if LVN 3 determined it was necessary to hold a medication, LVN 3 was required to notify the
physician and obtain an order to clarify the administration of the medications. The DON stated that

holding a scheduled medication without provider notification and order clarification did not meet facility
expectations. The DON stated this led to the holding of a medication without a physician's order and placed
Resident 1 at risk for continued pain related to untreated muscles spasms. During a review of the facility's
Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Administering Medications, revised 12/2012, the P&P indicated
medications would be administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. The P&P indicated if a
dosage was believed to be inappropriate or excessive for a resident, or a medication has been identified as
having potential adverse consequences for the resident or is suspected of being associated with adverse
consequences, the person preparing or administering the medication should contact the resident's
Attending Physician or the facility's Medical Director to discuss the concerns. During a review of the facility's
P&P titled, Physician Services, revised 4/2013, the P&P indicated the resident's attending physician was to
participate in the resident's assessment and care planning, monitoring changes in resident's medical
status, providing consultation or treatment when called by the facility, and overseeing a relevant plan of care
for the resident.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure accurate and reliable medication administration
documentation when the following occurred for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1):1. Licensed
nurses failed to accurately document the medication administration of Resident 1's ordered doses of
midodrine (a medication used to treat low blood pressure) in December 2025.2. Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 3 failed to ensure Resident 1's blood pressure was documented accurately on 12/10/2025.3. LVN 3
failed to document the reason why Resident 1's methocarbamol (a muscle relaxant medication) was held
on 12/11/2025. These deficiencies resulted in inaccurate medication administration documentation, which
had the potential to place Resident 1 at risk for inappropriate medication administration, untreated
conditions, and adverse medication effects.Findings: 1a. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record,
the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 1's
diagnoses included muscle weakness, ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease-irreversible kidney failure),
abnormalities of gait and mobility, cataracts (cloudy area in the lens of the eye that leads to a decrease in
vision of the eye), and hypertension (high blood pressure). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data

review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated 9/18/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had
fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary
Report, dated 12/12/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated the following:1. Midodrine hydrochloride
(HCL) oral tablet (a medication used to treat low blood pressure) 10 milligrams (mg - a unit of
measurement) give one tablet by mouth every six hours for hypotension (low blood pressure) and to hold
for a systolic blood pressure (SBP - the top number in a blood pressure reading, indicated the amount of
pressure on the blood vessels) greater than 110.2. Methocarbamol oral tablet 1000 mg one tablet by mouth
every eight hours for muscle spasms (sudden, painful, involuntary tightening of a muscle).3. Norco tablet
(Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen, a medication used to treat pain) 5-325 mg one tablet every six hours as
needed for severe pain. During a review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated
12/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 1 was administered midodrine oral tablet 10 mg five times on the
following dates and times for the corresponding blood pressures (normal blood pressure: systolic number
less than 120 millimeters of mercury [mm Hg- a unit to measure blood pressure] and a diastolic number
[pressure during the resting phase between heartbeats] less than 80 mm Hg):1. 12/4/2025 at 12:00 a.m. for
a blood pressure of 122/57 mm Hg.2. 12/4/2025 at 12:00 p.m. for a blood pressure of 123/68 mm Hg.3.
12/6/2025 at 6:00 p.m. for a blood pressure of 129/78 mm Hg.4. 12/8/2025 at 12:00 p.m. for a blood
pressure of 112/70 mm Hg.5. 12/10/2025 6:00 a.m. for a blood pressure of 116/78 mm Hg. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 12/11/2025 at 9:52 a.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 2, Resident
1's MAR, dated 12/2025, was reviewed. RN 2 stated Resident 1's order for midodrine was not administered
per the physician's ordered parameters five times in the month of December 2025. RN 2 stated this placed
Resident 1 at risk for increased blood pressure and cardiovascular issues. During a concurrent interview
and record review on 12/11/2025 at 11:29 a.m. with Treatment Nurse (TXN) 1, Resident 1's MAR, dated
12/2025, was reviewed. TXN 1 stated she was

Resident 1's assigned nurse during the 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. shift on 12/4/2025. TXN 1 stated, on
12/4/2025, she held Resident 1's dose of midodrine but accidentally documented it as administered. TXN 1
stated she documented in error because she recalled feeling overwhelmed during the shift due to being
assigned medication administration on short notice. TXN 1 stated inaccurate medication administration
documentation had the potential to lead to medication errors, documentation discrepancies, or double
dosing. 1b. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 3:02 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, LVN 3
stated he was Resident 1's assigned nurse on the 11 p.m. through 7 a.m. shift on 12/9/2025. LVN 3 stated
he held Resident 1's ordered dose of midodrine but mistakenly documented it as administered. LVN 3
stated he incorrectly documented Resident 1's SBP as 116, and the actual SBP 106. LVN 3 stated it was
important to accurately document Resident 1's medication administration and blood pressure as accurately
as possible to prevent errors. 1c. During a concurrent record review and interview on 12/11/2025 at 8:42
a.m. with LVN 4, Resident 1's MAR and Nursing Progress Notes, dated 12/2025, were reviewed. The MAR
indicated Resident 1's 6:00 a.m. dose of methocarbamol was held on 12/10/2025. The MAR and the
Nursing Progress Notes indicated no reason for holding the medication. LVN 4 stated the normal process
for holding a medication included documenting the reason the medication was held. During an interview on
12/11/2025 at 3:02 p.m. with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated he was Resident 1's assigned nurse on the 11 p.m. to 7
a.m. shift on 12/9/2025 to 12/10/2025. LVN 3 stated he held Resident 1's 6:00 a.m. dose of methocarbamol
on 12/10/2025 because he administered one tablet of Norco Tablet 5-325 mg (HydrocodoneAcetaminophen [ a pain medication]) during that same time frame (6:00 a.m.). LVN 3 stated he believed
muscle relaxants should not be administered concurrently with narcotics (substances used to treat
moderate to severe pain) due to the risk of respiratory compromise. LVN 3 stated he should have relayed
and documented the reason for holding methocarbamol to ensure the nurses that followed were aware the
medication was held. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/12/2025 at 1:51 p.m.,
the DON stated all MAR entries, blood pressure readings, and Nursing Progress Notes should have been
recorded as accurately as possible to reflect the actual care provided to Resident 1. The DON stated
inaccurate documentation did not ensure licensed nursing staff were fully aware of Resident 1's true
medical treatment and condition, which placed Resident 1 at risk for adverse cardiovascular effects. The
DON stated LVN 3 was expected to endorse the holding of a medication to the oncoming nurse and
document the reason for holding the medication to ensure continuity of care. The DON stated this placed
Resident 1 at risk for continued pain related to untreated muscles spasms. During a review of the facility's
Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Charting and Documentation, revised 7/2017, the P&P indicated the
facility was to ensure all services provided to the resident, progress toward the care plan goals, or any
changes in the resident's medical, physical, functional or psychosocial condition, would be documented in
the resident's medical record. The P&P indicated medical records should facilitate communication between
the interdisciplinary team regarding the resident's condition and response to care. During a review of the
facility's P&P titled, Administering Medications, revised 12/2012, the P&P indicated medications would be
administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. The P&P indicated if a dosage was believed
to be inappropriate or excessive for a resident, or a medication has been identified as having potential
adverse consequences for the resident or is suspected of being associated with adverse consequences,
the person preparing or administering the medication should contact the resident's Attending Physician or
the facility's Medical Director to discuss the concerns. During a review of the facility's Licensed Vocational
Nurse Job Description, dated 2023, the Job Description indicated the licensed nursing staff were to chart
nurses' notes in an informative and descriptive manner that reflects the
