V13 stated he wasn't done documenting R2's progress note dated 10/20/2025 and that was why the maggots weren't documented on R2's note and he had recently put an addendum to R2's podiatry progress note, dated 10/20/2025 to include the insects were present. V13 stated he can't say what specific insects were between R2's 4th and 5th digit on her right foot because he's not an insect specialist but that they shouldn't have been present. V13 stated he expected the nurse who assessed and cleansed the insects from R2's right foot should have documented the assessment and observation in R2's nurse's notes so her medical record was accurate and up to date and she should have notified the wound nurse of the insects presence as well. R2's Podiatrist Progress Note, dated 10/20/2025 documents V13 added an addendum dated 10/24/2025 small
