The baseline care plan was to be updated as needed to meet the resident's needs until the comprehensive care plan was developed. The resident and/or representative were to be provided a written summary of the baseline care plan. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The baseline care plan was developed on June 13, 2025.

If a dose of regularly scheduled medication is withheld, refused, or given at an other time other than what is scheduled, the reason should be documented on the MAR. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 4 had diagnosis of hypertension (high blood pressure). On June 11, 2025, the physician ordered staff to administer a blood pressure medication (hydralazine hydrochloride) three times a day. Staff was not to administer the medication if the resident's systolic blood pressure (SBP, the first measurement of blood pressure when the heart beats and the pressure is at its highest) was less than 100 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Review of Resident 4's MAR for June 2025, revealed that staff administered the medication on June 19, 2025, when the SBP was less than 100 mmHg. On June 17 and 25, 2025, there was no documented evidence that the medication was offered to Resident 4 at 2:00 p.m., as scheduled.

A physician's order dated June 23, 2025, directed staff to keep a left palm guard with finger separators in place on the resident's left hand at all times except for removal for hygiene tasks and skin checks every shift.
