04/05/24 that noted no bruising or new areas. Resident #72 also had a daily order to check for signs and
symptoms of bleeding or bruising due to anticoagulant use. From these checks, no new signs of bruising
were noted until the day of discharge. The resident was seen by facility physician on 04/11/24 with no

#72's skin on shower day like she was supposed to. LPN #147 reported to be honest I didn't observe it,
honestly got signed off without looking at and definitely my fault. LPN #147 reported she didn't tell anyone
