Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure certified nursing assistant (CNA) 3 and
licensed vocational nurses (LVN) 4 were competent in caring for and reporting episodes of diarrhea (loose/
watery stool) for one out of three sampled residents (Resident 1).This deficient practice resulted in
Resident 1 continuing to receive medications to induce bowel movements, during the time she was having
loose stools which had the potential for emotional distress, burning and irritation of the skin, worsening
moisture associated skin break down (MASD, umbrella term for skin inflammation and breakdown from
prolonged exposure to moisture), and dehydration (the body loses more fluids than it is taking in).(Cross
reference: F760) Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including dependence on renal dialysis (a person's kidneys have failed [End-Stage Renal Disease or
ESRD] and they rely on this life-sustaining treatment to filter waste and fluid from their blood), generalized
anxiety disorder (a mental health condition marked by persistent, excessive, and uncontrollable worry about
everyday things), depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of
interest), and (a person has a surgically created opening [stoma] in their neck leading to the windpipe
[trachea] for breathing). During a review of Resident 1's minimum data set (MDS, a resident assessment
tool), the MDS indicated Resident 1 was cognitively intact (having sufficient mental function for daily life,
demonstrating good judgment, planning, and self-control, without significant impairment) and was at risk for
developing pressure injuries (damaged skin and tissue caused by unrelieved pressure) and MASD. During
a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report dated 12/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated an
order dated 12/11/2025 for docusate sodium oral tablet 100 milligrams (mg, a unit of measurement ) give
one tablet twice a day via gastrostomy tube (g-tube, a feeding tube inserted through the abdomen directly
into the stomach, providing essential nutrition, fluids, and medicine for those who can't eat or drink enough
by mouth) twice a day for bowel management; HOLD for loose stools and senna oral tablet 8.6 mg give one
tablet via g-tube at bedtime for bowel management; HOLD for loose stools. During a review of Resident 1's
Medication Administration Report (MAR) for 12/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 1 received docusate
sodium oral tablet 100 mg twice a day, every day between 12/11/2025 through 12/22/2025 (on 12/22/2025,
only the 9 a.m. dose had been given at the time of review). The MAR indicated Resident 1 received senna
oral tablet 8.6 mg at bedtime, every evening between 12/11/2025 through12/21/2025 (except on
12/16/2025, when the medication was refused). During a review of Resident 1's activities of daily living
document titled, Document Survey Report dated 12/2025, the Documentation Survey Report for bowel
movements indicated Resident 1 had loose/ watery stools on 12/10/2025, 12/11/2025, 12/13/2025,
12/15/2025, 12/18/2025, 12/19/2025, 12/20/2025, 12/21/2025, and 12/22/2025. During an interview on

cared for Resident 1 (on 12/17/2025), Resident 1 had loose stools. During an interview on 12/19/2025 at
3:41 p.m., family member of Resident 1 (FM) 1 stated Resident 1 had been complaining to FM 1 about
having diarrhea causing her skin to burn. FM 1 stated she was worried that Resident 1 would get worsening
skin breakdown due to the constant moisture from the diarrhea. During an interview on 12/22/2025 at 9:20
a.m., Resident 1 stated she still had diarrhea. During an interview on 12/22/2025 at 1:03 p.m., CNA 3
stated she was caring for Resident 1 that day and Resident 1 had loose stools, CNA 3 stated Resident 1
had had two loose stools that morning. CNA 3 stated and she informed the charge nurses (unknown LVN)
about the loose stools. CNA 3 stated Resident 1 had redness (indication of skin irritation) on the peri area
(most commonly refers to the perineum, the space between the anus and genitals), possibly from the loose
stools and CNA 3 stated Resident 1 sometimes complained of some discomfort and burning from the loose
stool touching her skin. During an interview on 12/22/2025 at 1:24 p.m., LVN 4 stated he was caring for
Resident 1 for the day, and CNA 3 did not inform him Resident 1 was having loose stools and he gave
Resident 1 all her medications including the docusate sodium. LVN 4 stated if he was aware Resident 1
was having loose stool he would have held the docusate sodium and if it was more than one loose stool, he
would have made a change of condition (COC) report. During an interview and concurrent record review on
12/22/2025 at 3:15 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the CNA's notify the nurses assigned to pass
medications (LVNs) when patients are having loose stools. The DON stated the LVN would not know the
resident was having loose stool unless the CNA informed them. The DON stated stool softeners and
laxatives should be held if a resident was having loose/ watery stools. The DON reviewed Resident 1's
Survey Report for bowel movements for the month of 12/2025 and confirmed Resident 1 had multiple
episodes of loose watery stool. The DON reviewed Resident 1's MAR for the month of 12/2025 and
confirmed Resident 1 was receiving docusate sodium and senna including the days she was experiencing
loose/ watery stools. The DON stated docusate sodium and senna should not have been given on the days
Resident 1 was having loose/ watery stool because the physician's order stated to HOLD for loose watery
stools. The DON stated the potential outcome of giving senna and docusate sodium when a resident was
having loose/ watery stools was the risk for skin breakdown, dehydration, and emotional distress. During a
review of the facility's Job Description titled: Certified Nursing Assistant undated indicated the CNAs were
to report all changes of condition (COC) to the Nurse supervisor or Charge Nurse as soon as practical and
to record all entries on the flow sheets (tasks) for bowel and bladder. During a review of the facility's Job
Description: Licensed Vocational Nurse undated indicated the LVN was to administer medications as
prescribed by the healthcare provider.

(Resident 1) did not receive Docusate Sodium (a stool softener) and Senna (a laxative medication [softens
stool or stimulates the bowels to contract] used to treat constipation [bowel movements are infrequent,
hard, or difficult to pass]) while Resident 1 was experiencing diarrhea (loose watery stools).This deficient
practice placed Resident 1 at risk for emotional distress, burning and irritation of the skin, worsening
moisture associated skin break down (MASD, umbrella term for skin inflammation and breakdown from
prolonged exposure to moisture), and dehydration (the body loses more fluids than it is taking in).Findings:

sometimes complained of some discomfort and burning from the loose stool touching her skin. During an
interview on 12/22/2025 at 1:24 p.m., LVN 4 stated CNA 3 did not inform him Resident 1 was having loose
stools that day. LVN 4 stated he gave Resident 1 all her medications including the docusate sodium. LVN 4
stated if he was aware Resident 1 was having loose stool he would have held the docusate sodium and if it

Resident 1's MAR dated 12/2025 and Documented Survey Reports dated 12/2025 was reviewed. The DON
stated the CNA's notify the nurses assigned to pass medications (LVNs) when patients are having loose
stools. The DON stated the LVN could also pull up the task for bowel movements and check if the resident
was having loose stools, but the quickest and most efficient way was for the CNAs to report the loose stools
to the medication nurse. The DON stated stool softeners and laxatives should be held if a resident was
having loose/ watery stools. The DON reviewed Resident 1's Survey Report for bowel movements for the
month of 12/2025 and confirmed Resident 1 had multiple episodes of loose watery stools. The DON

docusate sodium and senna should not have been given on the days Resident 1 was having loose/ watery
stools because the physician's order stated to HOLD for loose watery stools. The DON stated the potential
outcome of giving senna and docusate sodium when a resident was having loose/ watery stools was the
risk for skin breakdown, dehydration, and emotional distress. A review of the facility procedure and policy
(P&P) titled, Administering Medications, Revised April 2019 indicated medications were to be administered
safe and as prescribed by the physician. The P&P indicated a medication dosage believed to be
inappropriate or excessive for the resident, the person to administer the medication would contact the
prescriber to discuss the concerns.
