find any documentation in Resident #3's medical record related to the resident's fall on 12/19/2023 at 4:34

injuries and document the call in a progress note and a change in condition assessment in the resident's
medical record. The DON stated she was not able to find any documentation in Resident #4's medical
record related to the resident's fall on 2/12/2024 at 2:13 PM. The DON stated the falls were documented in
a facility record but she was unsure if the facility record was part of the resident's medical record.
