Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff monitored and documented intake
(food and fluid consumption) and output (urine and stool amounts) in accordance with professional
standards of practice and per the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) for one of six sampled resident
(Resident 1), who had fluid restrictions. This deficient practice had the potential to result in unrecognized
hydration needs and hypervolemia (fluid overload).Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission
Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility originally admitted the resident on 12/11/2025 and
readmitted the resident on 12/30/2025 with diagnoses including acute (sudden, intense flare-up) on chronic
diastolic (pressure during the relaxing of the heart) congestive heart failure (CHF - a heart disorder which
causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling), chronic pulmonary
edema (fluid in the lungs), and orthostatic hypotension (a sudden, temporary drop in blood pressure that
occurs when standing up from a sitting or lying position). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set
(MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 1/6/2026, the MDS indicated that Resident 1's cognition (the
mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and
senses) was intact. The MDS indicated that Resident 1 was dependent on staff with activities of daily living
(ADLs- activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily). During a review of
Resident 1's Registered Nurse (RN) Hospital to RN Facility admission Report, or admission Report, dated
12/30/2025 timed at 12:22 p.m., the admission Report indicated to restrict fluids 750 milliliters (ml - a unit of
measurement) per day. During a review of Resident 1's Physician's Telephone Orders dated 12/30/2025,
the Physician's Telephone Orders indicated an order for fluid restriction of 750 ml per day due to chronic
pulmonary edema. During a review of Resident 1's Physician's Orders dated 1/7/2026, the Physician's
Orders indicated not to leave a water pitcher at bedside. During a concurrent interview and record review
on 2/25/2026 at 12:04 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), reviewed Resident 1's Physician's
Telephone Orders dated 12/30/2025, the physician order dated 1/7/2026, and Resident 1's Intake and
Output (I/O) Record from 12/30/2025 to 1/7/2026. LVN 1 stated that the licensed nurses did not monitor or
document Resident 1's I/O with the fluid restrictions since 1/7/2026. During a concurrent interview and
record review on 2/25/2026 at 12:25 p.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), reviewed Resident 1's
Physician's Telephone Orders dated 12/30/2025, the physician order dated 1/7/2026, and Resident 1's I/O
Record from 12/30/2025 to 1/7/2026. RN 1 stated that since Resident 1 was under fluid restrictions of 750
ml per day with no water pitcher at bedside, the licensed nurses should continue to monitor I/O with close
monitoring for any changes of condition especially since Resident 1 had heart problems with history of
edema. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Fluid Intake and Output, last reviewed on 11/20/2025,
the P&P indicated, Fluid intake and output shall be recorded for residents with. and restricted fluids as
ordered by physician. Daily intake and output shall be recorded for a minimum of 30 days as ordered by
physician. During a review of the

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 accurately assess and document a resident's fall risk
assessment for two out of six sampled residents (Resident 1 and 2) by failing to: 1. Ensure Resident 1's Fall
Risk Evaluation was completed thoroughly and accurately. 2. Ensure Resident 2's systolic blood pressure
(SBP - the first number in a blood pressure reading, which measures the pressure in the arteries [pathway
that carries blood away from the heart] when the heart beats) was completed lying and standing when
performing Resident 2's Fall Risk Evaluation. These deficient practices had the potential to place the
residents at risk of injury from falls.Findings: a. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated that the facility originally admitted the resident on 12/11/2025 and readmitted
the resident on 12/30/2025 with diagnoses including acute (sudden, intense flare-up) on chronic diastolic
(pressure during the relaxing of the heart) congestive heart failure (CHF - a heart disorder which causes
the heart to not pump the blood efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling), chronic pulmonary edema
(fluid in the lungs), and orthostatic hypotension (a sudden, temporary drop in blood pressure that occurs
when standing up from a sitting or lying position). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS
- a resident assessment tool) dated 1/6/2026, the MDS indicated that Resident 1's cognition (the mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and senses) was
intact. The MDS indicated that Resident 1 was dependent on staff with activities of daily living (ADLsactivities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily). During a review of Resident 1's
Fall Risk Evaluation dated 12/30/2025, the Fall Risk Evaluation indicated the following:1) The section for
history, current status, predisposing conditions.Upon admission and quarterly, at a minimum, thereafter,
observe the resident status in the 11 clinical condition parameters listed below by assigning the
corresponding score which best describes the resident. If the total score is 10 or greater, the resident
should be considered at high risk for potential falls. Prevention protocol should be initiated immediately and
documented on the care plan.Systolic blood pressure was marked as: No noted drop between lying and
standing.2) The section for gait/balance.Observe the Resident's gait/balance, have them/they stand on both
feet without holding onto anything, if safe to do so. If assistive devices are required, provide the device and
then proceed. Walk straight forward; walk through a doorway; and make a turn. Check the response below
that best describes the resident abilities.Not marked for any items including ‘not able to perform function'.3)
The section for medications.Respond based on the following types of medications, but not marked for any
items including ‘none of these medications taken currently or within last seven (7) days. During a review of
Resident 1's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 12/30/2025, the FRE indicated a fall score of four (4 - not
considered at high risk at potential falls). During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/24/2025 at
4:21 p.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), reviewed Resident 1's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 12/30/2025.
RN 1 stated that he (RN 1) performed Resident 1's Fall Risk Evaluation on 12/30/2025 and stated Resident
1 was not able to stand up but RN 1 marked ‘no noted drop between lying and standing' for Resident 1's
systolic blood pressure because there were no other options like a ‘non-applicable.' RN 1 stated RN 1 did
not complete the sections of gait/balance and medications and stated the total score of four (4) with no risk
of fall was not correct. When RN 1 was asked why the Fall Risk Evaluation should be done correctly, RN 1
stated that assessments were to establish the plan of care to reduce fall risks. b. During a review of
Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility originally admitted the
resident on 10/10/2020 and readmitted the resident on 12/29/2020 with

diagnoses including combined systolic and diastolic CHF, and hypertension (high blood pressure). During a
review of Resident 2's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated that Resident 2's cognition was intact. The
MDS indicated that Resident 2 required moderate assistance with oral/personal hygiene, and supervision
or touching assistance with toileting hygiene, upper/lower body dressing and toilet transfer. During a review
of Resident 2's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 12/22/2025, the Fall Risk Evaluation indicated the following:1)
The section for history, current status, predisposing conditions.Upon admission and quarterly, at a
minimum, thereafter, observe the resident status in the 11 clinical condition parameters listed below by
assigning the corresponding score which best describes the resident. If the total score is 10 or greater, the
resident should be considered at high risk for potential falls. Prevention protocol should be initiated
immediately and documented on the care plan.Ambulation/elimination status was marked as: Ambulatory
(able to walk)/Continent (the ability to voluntarily control to urinate or have a bowel movement).Systolic
blood pressure was marked as: No noted drop between lying and standing. During a review of Resident 2's
Fall Risk Evaluation dated 12/22/2025, the Fall Risk Evaluation score indicated a score of eight (8 - not
considered at high risk at potential falls). During an interview on 2/24/2026 at 11:20 a.m., in Resident 2's
room, Resident 2 stated that sometimes Resident 2 went to the bathroom alone without staff's assistance
and was able to self-clean. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/25/2026 at 10:42 a.m.,
with Minimum Data Set Nurse 1 (MDSN), reviewed Resident 2's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 12/22/2025.
MDSN 1 stated that MDSN 1 completed Resident 2's Fall Risk Evaluation. When MDSN 1 was asked how
MDSN 1 obtained Resident 2's systolic blood pressure to compare lying and standing when performing the
Fall Risk Evaluation, MDSN 1 stated that she (MDSN 1) did not measure Resident 2's systolic blood
pressure when lying and standing. MDSN 1 stated that she used data with the blood pressure summaries
done by the other nurses, but there were no records for Resident 2's standing blood pressures, so the Fall
Risk Evaluation was not done correctly to assess Resident 2's fall risks. During a review of the facility's P&P
titled, Promoting Safety, Reducing Falls, last reviewed on 11/20/2025, the P&P indicated, If caregivers are
to prevent falls, they must have a working knowledge of the key factors that determine which residents are
most at risk. Gait and balance disturbances. These are the second leading cause of falls, and it's important
for caregivers to continually observe every resident's gait and balance. Changes in gait balance can be
accompanied to prevent falls. Caregivers must constantly remind the residents to rise slowly from a lying or
sitting position. This allows the circulatory system time to adjust to the change in position, preventing
light-headedness.

Ensure the resident's doctor reviews the resident's care, writes, signs and dates progress notes and orders,
at each required visit.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a physician telephone order indicated a
signature and title of the licensed nurse who transcribed the information and failed to ensure a physician
countersigned the telephone order per the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) for one of six sampled
residents (Resident 1). This deficient practice had the potential to result in failure to deliver the necessary
care and services.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record
indicated that the facility originally admitted the resident on 12/11/2025 and readmitted the resident on
12/30/2025 with diagnoses including acute (sudden, intense flare-up) on chronic diastolic (pressure during
the relaxing of the heart) congestive heart failure (CHF - a heart disorder which causes the heart to not
pump the blood efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling), chronic pulmonary edema (fluid in the
lungs), and orthostatic hypotension (a sudden, temporary drop in blood pressure that occurs when standing
up from a sitting or lying position). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident
assessment tool) dated 1/6/2026, the MDS indicated that Resident 1's cognition (the mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and senses) was intact.
The MDS indicated that Resident 1 was dependent on staff with activities of daily living (ADLs- activities
such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily). During a review of Resident 1's Registered
Nurse (RN) Hospital to RN Facility admission Report, or admission Report, dated 12/30/2025 timed at
12:22 p.m., the admission Report indicated to restrict fluids 750 milliliters (ml - a unit of measurement) per
day. During a review of Resident 1's Physician's Telephone Orders dated 12/30/2025, the Physician's
Telephone Orders indicated an order for fluid restriction of 750 ml per day due to chronic pulmonary
edema. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/24/2026 at 5:16 p.m., with Registered Nurse
1 (RN 1), reviewed Resident 1's admission Report dated 12/30/2025 and Physician's Order Recap (a quick
summary of the most important points) Report dated from 12/30/2025 through 1/1/2026. RN 1 stated that
RN 1 was made aware of Resident 1's fluid restriction of 750 ml/day when RN 1 received the report from
the hospital before Resident 1 arrived at the facility on 12/30/2025. RN 1 stated RN 1 missed inputting
Resident 1's fluid restrictions of 750 ml per day on the physician's orders. During a concurrent interview and
record review on 2/25/2026 at 12:19 p.m., with RN 1, reviewed Resident 1's physician order summary
indicating active orders as of 2/1/2026 and Resident 1's Physician's Telephone Orders dated 12/30/2025
indicating to restrict fluids 750 ml per day. RN 1 stated that he did not transcribe the Physician's Telephone
Orders for fluid restriction on 12/30/2025, and stated RN 1 could not tell who wrote the Physician's
Telephone Orders because there was no name or signature of the person who carried the order. RN 1
stated Resident 1's Physician's Telephone Orders was incomplete and was not included in the physician
orders until Resident 1 was transferred to the hospital on 2/8/2026. During a concurrent interview and
record review on 2/25/2026 at 1:10 p.m., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and the Medical
Records Director (MRD), reviewed Resident 1's Physician's Telephone Orders dated 12/30/2025 written for
‘Fluid restriction of 750 ml per day due to chronic pulmonary edema.' The MRD stated that she could not
locate the white color copy of Resident 1's Physician's Telephone Orders that should be returned to the
facility within five days after Resident 1's physician signed the orders. The MRD reviewed Resident 1's
current and discontinued physician's order for fluid restrictions of 750 ml per day, but there was no history of
an entry in Resident 1's physician's orders for fluid restrictions of 750 ml per day. During a concurrent
interview and record review on 2/25/2026 at 1:15 p.m., with the ADON, reviewed Resident 1's Physician's
