visits for the facility. Resident #1 was documented to have been seen for his feet on 07/01/2024. She
confirmed there was no documentation of the resident being seen for his fingernails. Review of the list of
residents scheduled to be seen on 09/30/2024 by the podiatrist revealed no presence of Resident #1's
name. The SSD stated the residents on the list were for foot care services. She stated the podiatrist service
company had been changed. Services by the former company were completed in 07/2024. No podiatrist
services in 08/2024 due to the transition, and the current list of persons were to receive care on
09/30/2024. When asked if the podiatrist provided fingernail cutting service to Resident #1, she stated she
would have to review with the Director of Nursing (DON).
An interview was conducted on 09/16/2024 at 2:34 with the DON. For Resident #1, she stated, we can clip
them; nursing can clip them; CNAs can file them. He is a diabetic. They have to be very careful with him.
The DON stated there was not specific place for documentation of the nail care. For the shower sheets for
Resident #1, the DON said she did not see any shower sheets for the last 30 days for Resident #1, she
said she knew the resident had got a shower the other day, she could not remember which day. She stated
she knew the resident refused on occasion. She confirmed staff should document refusal of shower. The
process, she confirmed that the aides are to fill out a shower sheet and then the nurses sign off to review if
the resident had any new areas of skin conditions.
A review of a blank shower sheet presented by the DON, titled, Skin Monitoring: Comprehensive CNA
shower review, documented: Perform a visual assessment of resident's skin when giving the resident a
shower. Report abnormal looking skin (as described below) to the charge nurse immediately. Forward any
problems to your prospective unit managers for review. Use this form to show the exact location and
description of the abnormality. Using the body chart below, describe and graph abnormalities by number.
The form was observed to have a visual assessment area with a body diagram to show locations of
abnormalities on the skin. Further review of the form reflected an area: Does the resident need
fingernails/toenails cut? With a yes or no box to mark. The form had an area for the CNA to sign and the
Charge nurse to sign, an area to document the Charge nurse's assessment, and interventions.
A review of Resident #1's Care Plan, focus area: (Resident #1) has an ADL (activities of daily living)
