the (breathing machine) was not being used as ordered for R1, however the nursing documentation showed
that the (breathing machine) was being used as ordered. V12 brought in a Sleep Therapy Report that
showed the use of the (breathing machine). There were days that the report showed the (breathing
machine) was not used and it did not match the facility Treatment Administration Records (TAR)
documentation. There were also a couple of nursing notes written by V8 (Licensed Practical Nurse) that
documented the (breathing machine) was used on her shift that did not match the Sleep Therapy Report.

mask R1 would refuse the treatment sometimes, and V8 would forget to go back and change the
documentation to show that R1 refused the treatment. V2 stated that an In-Service was done with all
nurses about the (breathing machine) and correct documentation.
On 6/30/23 at 12:30 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) and V1 (Administrator) reviewed R1's Sleep Therapy
Report previously provided by V12 (R1's Family Member #1) and compared it to the Treatment
Administration Record (TAR) and agreed that the report indicated the (breathing machine) was not used by
R1 on 6/05, 6/06, 6/20, and 6/21/23
On 6/30/23 at 1:35 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated that she is aware that the Therapy Report for R1's
(breathing machine) that V12 (R1's Family Member #1) presented to the facility had days that there was no
usage documented for R1. V1 was also aware that the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) and the
Nursing Notes had documentation that R1 received the (breathing machine) treatment on days the Therapy
Report showed the machine was not used.
R1's Nursing Note dated 6/5/23 at 11:33 PM, documents (R1) Resting quietly Arouses easily voices no C/O
(Complaints of) keeping (breathing machine) mask on this night. (R1's Sleep Therapy Report documents
No usage for the (breathing machine) on 6/5/23.)
R1's Nursing Note dated 6/6/23 at 22:07 PM, documents (R1) Resting quietly Arouses easily voices no C/O
keeping (breathing machine) mask on this night. (R1's Sleep Therapy Report documents No usage for the
(breathing machine) on 6/6/23.)
On 6/30/23 at 7:50 PM, V8 (License Practical Nurse) stated that she usually works the night shift from 6:00
PM to 6:00 AM, and she knows it is important for R1 to use her (breathing machine) when sleeping. V8
would mark off the task on the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for the (breathing machine) before
going in to apply the mask to R1. There were times that R1 refused to have the mask applied. V8 did not go
back and correct the TAR to show that R1 refused the treatment. I am guilty about not thinking to change
the documentation when R1 refused. V8 was asked about the nursing notes dated 6/5/23 and 6/6/23 that
she wrote documenting that R1 had used the (breathing machine) during the night when she didn't. V8
stated I got in a hurry and copied and pasted the notes not paying attention to the details. I was wrong for
doing that. Now I realize the information in the Nursing Notes are not correct. I know that's not a good
excuse. There is no good excuses.
R1's Sleep Therapy Report dated 5/31/23 - 6/29/23, documents that there were 16 days there was no
usage recorded. This report was compared to R1's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated 6/1/236/30/23. There are four days (6/5, 6/6, 6/20, and 6/21/23) that there is no documentation charted that R1
was refusing the (breathing machine). V8 (Licensed Practical Nurse) worked on all four days from 6:00 PM 6:00 AM.
On 7/1/23 at 9:20 AM, V1 (Administrator) stated that the information documented in the nursing notes
should be accurate. V1 also stated that there is no policy on accurate documentation.
