Findings include: Record review of Resident #7's face sheet revealed admission date 4/4/25, with diagnoses including vascular dementia (brain damage caused by multiple strokes), cerebral infarction (interruption of blood flow to the brain), Renal Dialysis (removal of waste products and fluid from the blood), dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), end stage renal disease (loss of kidney function), Diabetes (high blood sugar). Record review of Resident #7's most recent physician's order dated 8/11/25 revealed Renal Dialysis Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Record review of Resident #7's care plan dated 4/7/25 revealed needs Dialysis related to renal failure, with appropriate interventions for dialysis site care and monitoring for any changes.

In an interview with the DON on 9/10/25 at 1:20pm, she said she had just started working here, and was still familiarizing herself with the residents, but the MDS should be accurate and reflect all conditions and treatments for residents. She said she would look at Resident #7s EMR and make sure the MDS was accurate to reflect his Dialysis. She said if the MDS was not accurate, it could affect the care the resident received. In an interview with the Regional Nurse Consultant on 9/10/25 at 2pm, she said the regional reimbursement coordinator has been doing the MDS in this facility since 8/1/25, but she is currently sick at home and not able to come into the facility. She said the former MDS nurse retired, and the facility is actively looking to hire an MDS nurse. She said she would contact the regional reimbursement coordinator and let her know Resident #7s MDS did not reflect his Dialysis, which was in place when he was admitted to the facility. She said the MDS should accurately describe the resident, the interdisciplinary team would contribute to the assessment for each resident, and the MDS nurse would finalize the MDS. She said the harm of having an inaccurate MDS assessment would mean the residents would not receive proper care according to their needs.
