acknowledged the monitoring record logs for
Resident 1 and 2, dated 9/19 and 9/20/16,
received by MR 1 on 11/16/16 were different
than the logs that were provided by DON 1 on
9/22/16. She stated, "Logs are different. The
first one you received (on 9/22/16) makes
sense. This one (11/16/16) is filled out even
when patient (Resident 2) is not (admitted)
here. CNAs are told to get a new form. They
would not continue on same sheet." The DSD
could not explain why the logs were different
and stated the ones provided on 9/22/16 were
accurate to the facts of Resident 1 and 2's
medical records. The DSD could not identify
the initials of the staff who documented on the
logs.

1 and 2's monitoring record logs, dated 9/19
and 9/20/16, and fax cover sheet, received
11/16/16, with MR 1 was conducted on 2/10/17
at 11:15 A.M. MR 1 stated her process is that
she pulls a resident's records, has nurse's
review them, and get the documents back so
she can fax them. She stated in this case she
did not pull the records because she left the
facility already for the day on 11/15/16, but the
logs were given to her on 11/16/16. She stated
she could not remember who asked her to fax
the monitoring logs to the Department but
acknowledged that she faxed them.
A concurrent interview and review of Resident
1 and 2's monitoring record logs, dated 9/19
and 9/20/16, with CNA 3 was conducted on
2/10/17 at 11:30 A.M. CNA 3 stated, "I wasn't
there for altercation, but heard about it. They
(Resident 1 and 2) were never my assigned
patients. Didn't have (that) section." CNA 3
further stated the monitoring logs are
completed only for assigned residents, but the
log can be completed for an unassigned
resident when covering for another CNA taking
a break. He acknowledged the logs provided
by DON 1 on 9/22/16 did not have his initials or
signature. CNA 3 stated, "Definitely not
assigned to those residents. If not assigned to
those residents there would not be a full shift
documented by me." He further stated the
logs, dated 9/19/16, provided by MR 1 on
11/16/16 had his signature. CNA 3 further
stated, "...But I don't know how, why. I wouldn't
document on a resident not mine."
An interview with DON 1 was conducted on
2/10/17 at 11:40 A.M. DON 1 stated, "I can't
explain why the logs are different. I can
investigate further. I tried to figure it out but
can't." She further stated she could not recall
who handed the logs to the medical records
staff on the morning of 11/16/16. The DON

DON 2 further stated, "Administrator stated that
(DON 1's name) made another log and that's
why she was terminated." DON 2 stated the
medical records director told her they looked
for the log, couldn't find it and when it was
requested again, DON 1 made another one.
A telephone interview with the Administrator
(Admin) was conducted on 3/29/17 at 10:11
A.M. The Admin stated, "She (DON 1) didn't
have an explanation for the two different logs. I

that they should be timely and accurate.
