V2 also said that the TAR is also signed after treatment is done with the resident. V2 stated that R1's TAR had holes which means they were not signed off.

V23 said that R1's wound treatments were not entered in the orders because she did not do the assessment for her [R1]. V23 said that R1 came in so late and V23 only did the note and verified the medication from the office of V25 (R1's Physician). V23 said V25's office was closed so she had to call the on-call doctor to verify medication. V23 stated that R1 came in around 1:45 PM and their cut off is 2:00 PM. Surveyor asked what V23 means by cut off. V2 stated cut off means that any patient admitted on the 7-3 shift after 2:00 PM she just writes the note, put the resident in the system, and verify the medications. V23 stated she did not do R1's body assessment and she endorsed it to the evening shift nurse. V23 said she did not enter any orders in the system. On 12/8/25 at 1:41 PM, a phone interview was conducted with V26 (Licensed Practical Nurse) and V26 stated that she did the full body assessment for R1 upon admission. V26 said that she completed the admission assessment and entered the medication orders in the electronic health records, but did not enter wound treatment orders. V26 stated that the medications orders were verified with V25 (R1's Physician) and V26 notified V2 (Director of Nursing) and V24 (Wound Care Nurse/LPN) about R1's wounds. V26 stated R1 had left leg amputation that was freshly done in the hospital and came in the facility for wound care. V26 stated that when she notified V2 and V24, they both assessed R1's wounds right away the day of admission [DATE]).On 12/8/25 at 9:14 AM, a phone interview was conducted with V24 (Wound Care Coordinator/LPN) and V24 stated that she's been working in the facility since March 2025 as the full-time wound care nurse. V24 said that when a resident is admitted in the facility, the process is that as soon as the resident comes in the facility, the admitting nurse is supposed to do a full body assessment. They are to call the primary care physician and verify admission orders that include but not limited to medication orders and skin treatments as necessary. These need to be done as soon as the resident comes in the facility so that the appropriate treatments and care are provided to the resident, and to address anything that the resident needs. V24 said that the admission packet includes full assessment of the resident, and the admitting nurse is expected to complete the entire process. V24 said that if the resident is assessed with wounds, the admitting nurse will verify treatment orders, call the PCP [Primary Care Physician] and enter orders in the system. V24 said if treatment orders are not ordered, the treatments are not going to be done. V24 said, The treatments are documented or signed off in the TAR that it's done. If the TAR has holes, it means the treatments were not done. The nursing rule is if it's not documented, it's not done. I was on vacation from 11/22/25 to 12/1/25. If I'm on vacation, [V2] will take over or she can delegate the task.
