DON stated that a blank space in the TAR for 12/12/25 meant the treatment was missed. The DON stated
that on 12/12/25, one treatment nurse called off work, so the Charge Nurse gave the wound care instead.
The DON further stated that treatment nurses usually document if Resident 1 refused wound care however
there was no documentation on 12/12/25 that the resident refused. A review of the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled Dressings, Dry/Clean revised September 2013 indicated, 1. Notify the supervisor if
the resident refuses the dressing change. 2. Report other information in accordance with facility policy and
professional standards of practice.
