supervision to prevent 1 of 2 sampled residents
(Resident A) elopement as evidenced by not
implementing the every 15 minute observation
checks as per the facility policy and procedure
for residents who are at risk for elopement.

serious harm.

[Resident A] exited. She said the Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN 1) said she locked the
doors at 5:00 PM, but stated that the resident
[Resident A] was gone prior to that. Resident A
was not found when the dinner trays were
passed at 5:00 PM.
A review of Resident A's clinical record showed
he was admitted to the facility on October 13,
2016 with diagnoses which included epilepsy
(seizure disorder), hypertension (high blood
pressure), Type II diabetes mellitus (blood
glucose levels above normal), dementia
(gradual decrease in the ability to think and
remember), COPD (a group of respiratory
diseases of the lungs), and muscle weakness.

needs known.
