Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #30's medical record revealed an admission date of 09/19/19. Diagnoses included
muscle weakness.
Review of the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #30 was coded as having a
wound infection.

documentation of any wound infections.
Interview on 04/07/22 11:15 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #31 confirmed Resident #30's
quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] was coded incorrectly for wound infection. LPN #31 confirmed
there was no documentation of Resident #30 having a wound infection from 10/01/22 through 04/07/22.

the decline in range of motion or the addition of a restorative program.
On 04/07/22 at 10:21 A.M., an interview with the MDS Nurse #31 was conducted. MDS Nurse #31
confirmed all prior MDS assessments were incorrectly coded and G0400A should reflect that Resident #8
has limited range of motion to both hands. MDS Nurse #31 also confirmed there was no care plan in place
for Resident #8 addressing his decline in range of motion, the implementation of his restorative program,
and the use of splints.
