scheduled, occasional bed baths, no documented skin assessment and marked mostly as refused.On
11/19/2025 at 12:59PM, V49, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) said that she does not have any issues
with resident, she works with her on day shift and always assist her with dressing up and brushing her
teeth. Resident is usually set up in the bathroom by the sink, and she brushes her teeth by herself.
Resident does not refuse ADL care as far as V49 is concerned, she is always pleasant.On 11/18/2025 at
3:05PM, V24 (Wound Care Coordinator) said, nurses are supposed to sign off the skin assessment section
of the shower sheet after the CNA finishes the shower if the resident lets them. V24 was asked if the nurses
should document resident's refusal in the progress note and she said that she is not sure, that will be the
question for the nurses. On 11/19/2025 at 2:15PM, V24 was asked about R149 wound to her great toe. V24
said, resident was being treated with betadine and the wound was being assessed daily by wound care,
and they did not notice any signs of infection. V24 added that she was not aware that resident's toe was
infected, nor aware of the antibiotic treatment or that she had a fracture.On 11/19/2025 at 9:05AM, V2,
Director of Nursing (DON) said, resident had a bump on her toe which started after family gave her a
shower and told staff that they accidentally bumped resident's toe on her wheelchair. V2 said that the
wound care doctor saw the resident and she was getting treatment for it. V2 added that R149 always refuse
ADL care. Surveyor asked V2 if that was care planned and she said that she was not sure. On 10/25/2025,
resident's daughter came in, showered the resident, and dressed the resident herself, took the resident out
on pass without informing anyone in the facility. While on pass, the daughter took resident to urgent care
and they prescribed antibiotics for her, they also did an x-ray that showed a fracture to her right great toe,
V2 does not know that resident's toe was infected, or how resident got the fracture.On 11/10/2025 at
12:15PM, V1 (Administrator) said that she investigated and reported resident's injury as an injury of
unknown origin, but it was not unsubstantiated because resident did not complain of pain before the family
took her out on pass. The injury started as a redness which occurred after family gave resident a shower
and accidentally bumped her feet on her wheelchair V1 said that the family reported the incident to the
nurse. On 11/19/2025 at 12:02PM, V51 (LPN) said that she worked 3 to 11pm shift on 10/25/2025, R149
was out on pass at the beginning of her shift. The daughter came to the nursing station later that evening
and handed her a bottle of medication, stating that R149 has an infection to her toe and also has a
fracture.V51 said that family usually gives resident a shower and one day, the daughter told V51 that she
accidentally bumped resident's toe on her wheelchair, that's how she got the injury. Surveyor asked V51 if
she documented the reported incident by the family and she said no. V51 then changed her story stating
that the family did not report that to her, but she just assumed that since they always give her a shower, that
must have been the cause of the injury. V51 added that she is not sure how the resident sustained the
fracture and was not aware that her toe was infected until the daughter came back from urgent care with
the antibiotic.Bathing-shower and tub bath policy dated 1/31/2018 documented its purpose as to ensure
resident's cleanliness to maintain proper hygiene and dignity. Guideline- a shower, tub bath or bed/ sponge
bath will be offered according to resident's preference two times per week, or according to resident's
preferred frequency and as needed or requested. Document bathing and assistance provided in the

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to administer medication as ordered for one resident (R77)
reviewed for medication administration. This failure affected one resident and has the potential to affect all
residents residing on the 2nd floor.Finding includes:R77's medical record Admissions Record showed
documentation that R77 was originally admitted on [DATE] and current admission date is 10/29/2025.
Listed diagnosis include but not limited to Acute and Chronic Respiratory failure with hypoxia, metabolic
Encephalopathy, encounter with Hospice care, other reduced mobility, other specified disorders of muscle,
pressure induced deep tissue damage of sacral region, pressure induced deep tissue damage of other
sites, presence of pacemaker, unspecified atrial fibrillation, and type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic
neuropathy.R77 physician Order Summary Report showed that R77 has an order dated 11/13/2025 for
Ativan oral tablet 0.5mg (Lorazepam) with instruction to give 0.5mg tablet by mouth every 6 hours for
anxiety, agitation: give 2 tabs (tablets).R77's MAR (Medication administration Record) dated 11/1/25 to
11/30/2025 showed the same and instruction.R77's Controlled Drug Receipt/record/Disposition Form
presented showed that on 11/14/25 R77 was administered two tablets of lorazepam tablet 0.5mg to equal
1mg and from 11/14/25 from 6pm only one tablet was administered instead of two tablets as ordered until
11/18/25 at 12 noon.R77' s MAR (Medication Administration Record) showed that the medication was
signed out as if two tablets of lorazepam 0.5mg had been administered as ordered.On 11/18/2025 at
11:49am, V43, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, we told (V2 (Director of Nursing) about it as you
were looking at the narcotic book. I don't know why others (nurses) are giving him one tablet (referring to
Ativan 0.5mg) because the order was to give 2 tablets to make it 1mg. Surveyor asked V43 can the nurses
decrease or increase medication dosage without a physician order. V43 stated, No, the doctor must order it.
At approximately 12:20pm, V43 administered 2 tablets of Ativan 0.5mg to R77 for anxiety as ordered. V43
stated (R77) Ativan has been changed from Ativan 0.5mg to Ativan 1mg. We (Licensed Nurses) are to give
2 tablets of 0.5mg to make it (equal) 1mg. V43 stated, medications are supposed to be signed out as
administered to show the dose given and it should be signed out after the patient has taken the
medicine.On 11/18/2025 at approximately 2:09pm, V2 (DON) stated, medications should be given as
ordered by the physician or the NP (Nurse Practitioner.) V2 stated, R77's order for Ativan was changed on
11/13/2025 from 0.5mg to 1mg but for some reason the nurses are not giving R77 two (2) tablets of the
0.5mg as ordered and instructed. V2 stated, it is written in the MAR and the medication card and that is an
error on the nurse's part.The facility policy on Physician Orders with revision date 1/31/18 documented that
the purpose is to provide general guidelines when receiving, entering, and confirming physician or
prescriber's orders (a prescriber is noted as physician, nurse practitioner, and a physician's

include but not limited dose, time and frequency. Verbal and telephone orders will be documented as such

that includes but not limited to right dosage, and right medication. Under the title Medication treatment

the attending physician, describe the error and resident response, identify the error on the 24-hour report.
