The second page was a letter written by the facility's MSW that read, [Resident #6's name] was admitted to [the facility's name] on August 12, 2024. I completed a check of his PASRR on August 13, 2024 and discovered it had an improper diagnosis on it. I spoke with [Resident #6's Name] and his wife and they both confirmed that he has never had bi-polar . I contacted the VA (Veteran's Administration) social worker in reference to confirming if [Resident #6's Name] had ever had a diagnosis of bi-polar I was advised that he has never had a diagnosis of bi-polar . I did log onto Acentra (a company that provides services to manage the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review process) and completed a new PASRR for [Resident #6's Name].

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 9/17/2025 at 8:14 AM, the Director of Nursing stated, The staff should be asking throughout the shift and fill out at the pain assessment at the end of shift with the highest pain level that was reported at that shift. The charted late note in the MAR means that the staff are documenting outside the two hour window. The system will say, Hey! Why are you giving it at this time? and the staff will have to write an explanation. Staff are expected to document accurately when medication is given. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 9/17/2025 at 11:02 AM, Staff E, LPN stated, I think they have a pain assessment in the MAR for the end of shift. I think I need to leave the assessment for the end of shift. I click it off early sometimes. I will ask her [Resident #42] after giving her the pain medication and check back and she will tell me it's a zero and that is what I will document but it's not a zero because I gave her medication for the pain. A lot of the time I give medication, and I forget to click the medication off. I will click prep and give it to the patient and then go to the next patient. Then I remember and come back to it. I always click prep but don't click it off at the end. I give the medication on time it is not late. During an interview on 9/17/2025 at 1:44 PM, Staff F, LPN stated, This system when you click prep and complete the medication pass it is difficult to look back. I am more familiar with [name of clinical software] that you are able to look back at the end of day. I will give the medication on time; it is not late. The pain assessment I normally do it in the morning and when giving her [Resident #42] the medication. I had not been doing the assessment at end of shift. I ask when giving medication and as needed what her pain level is. During an interview on 9/18/2025 at approximately 8:35 AM, the DON stated, The staff are supposed to click prep and then save so that the administration is completed and it does not show in the system as a late administration. They should complete the documentation of one patient before moving on to the next patient when giving medication. 2) Review of Resident #62's physician order dated 9/5/2024 read, Midodrine tablet: 10mg; amt:1 tab oral.

During an interview on 9/17/2025 at 11:00 AM, Staff E, LPN stated, I am positive I didn't give her [Resident #62] the medication. I might have clicked all medication and gotten the blood pressure and seen the medication should be held and not given to the resident. I normally wait and then click it off. I accidently click off everything. During an interview on 9/17/2025 at 1:44 PM, Staff F, LPN stated, I don't recall that day. I would normally would have held it [midodrine] with that blood pressure. During an interview on 9/18/2025 at approximately 8:35 AM, the DON stated, The nurses should first check the patient's blood pressure and then prep the medication. They should not be clicking all the medications as prep because it can document in the system the medication was given when it was not given. Documentation should be accurate.

During an interview on 9/17/2025 at 1:55 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, Staff should make sure they are wearing PPE when residents are on enhanced barrier precautions and follow all infection control practices. Review of the policy and procedure titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions, last approval date of 1/20/2025, read, Purpose: Multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) transmission is common in LTC (Long Term Care), contributing to substantial resident morbidity and mortality. Many residents/guests in nursing homes are at increased risk of becoming colonized and developing infections with MDRO's. Enhanced barrier precautions are an approach to the use of PPE( personal protective equipment) as a strategy to decrease transmission of CDC (Center for Disease Control) targeted MDRO's when contact precautions do not apply. The precautions are to be used during specific high contact resident/guest activities associated with MDRO transmission and do not involve room restrictions. EBP (Enhanced Barrier Precautions) is used in conjunction with standard precautions. Standard: Upon admission/readmission or when a current resident/guest meets the indications for enhanced barrier precautions, based upon CDC recommendations, these should be implemented, and the resident, representative, and staff should be informed. The ICPO (infection control prevention officer) and or DON (Director of Nursing) should maintain a list of all residents/guests that have been determined to require enhanced barrier precautions and if it is questionable whether or not a resident/guest should have these implemented, the DON or ICPO will review and make the final determination. Process: 1. A sign indicating the enhanced barrier precautions should be placed on the resident's door and if it is in a semiprivate room, it should be labeled for which bed. 3. EBP Requires donning of gown and gloves during high contact resident/guest care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs to staff's hands and clothing. 4. EBP is indicated for residents/guests with any of the following when contact precautions do not apply: Infection or colonization with a CDC-targeted MDRO when contact precautions do not otherwise apply or wounds and or indwelling medical devices even if the resident/guest is not known to be infected or colonized with a MDRO (wounds generally include chronic wounds, not short or lasting wounds, such as skin tears or skin breaks covered with an adhesive bandage (e.g Band-Aid or similar dressing. Examples of chronic wounds include but not limited to pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, unhealed surgical wounds, and venous stasis ulcers. Indwelling medical device's examples include central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and tracheostomies. 5. EBP is employed while performing high contact resident/guest care activities dressing, bathing showering, transferring, providing hygiene, changing linens, changing briefs or assisting with toileting, device care or use central line, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy, wound care any skin opening requiring a dressing.
