(a)(1)(2)(4) indicated that the registered nurse was to collect complete and ongoing data to determine
nursing care needs, analyze the health status of individuals and compare the data with the norm when
determining nursing care needs, and carry out nursing care actions that promote, maintain, and restore the
well-being of individuals.

incident and accident reports, with the nurse entering the information to the appropriate form or system
within 24 hours of the occurrence and will document all pertinent information. The supervisors or other
designee will be notified of the incident or accident. Any injuries will be assessed by the licensed nurse or
practitioner, and the affected individual will not move until safe to do so.

needs) for Resident 2, dated October 30, 2024, revealed that the resident was usually understood and

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on review of clinical records, as well as resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to maintain clinical records that were complete and accurately documented for one of four
residents reviewed (Resident 3).
Findings include:
A facility policy, dated November 27, 2024, regarding accidents and incidents, indicated that falls require an
incident and accident reports, with the nurse entering the information to the appropriate form or system
within 24 hours of the occurrence and will document all pertinent information. The documentation should
include the date, time, nature of the incident, location, initial findings, immediate interventions, notifications
and orders obtained or follow-up interventions.
A quarterly minimum data set (MDS) assessment (mandated to assess the resident abilities and care
needs) for Resident 3, dated October 21, 2024, indicated that the resident was sometimes able to
understand others; was sometimes understood by others; was severely cognitively impaired; required
supervision and touch assistance with ambulation, bed mobility, and transfers; required substantial
assistance with hygiene, toileting, and dressing;had diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease and
wandering behaviors. A care plan for Resident 3, dated February 5, 2024, indicated that she was a risk for
falls or injury.
A fall investigation by Licensed Practical Nurse 1, dated December 24, 2024, revealed that Resident 3 was
walking behind staff after completion of morning care. Resident 3 fell backwards onto her buttocks in the
bathroom doorway with her walker still standing. A review of Resident 3's clinical record revealed no
documented evidence of the resident's fall or an assessment by a registered nurse.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 1, dated December 30, 2024, at 3:33 p.m., indicated that she and
the registered nurse on duty assessed Resident 3 following the fall on December 24, 2024. She confirmed
that she did not write an additional nursing note in the clinical record because the investigation should have
linked to the progress notes. The registered nurse should have written an additional note following the
incident.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 30, 2024, at 2:27 p.m. confirmed that there was no
documented evidence of Resident 3's fall or assessment by a registered nurse in the clinical record, and
there should have been.
