Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the physician's order
for code status matched the resident's POLST DNR status for one of seven final sampled residents
(Resident 102) reviewed for advanced directives.
* Resident 102 had a DNR status selected on the POLST signed by Resident 102's responsible party;
however, the facility failed to ensure there was a physician's order for Resident 102's code status. This
failure had the potential for not honoring the Resident 102's responsible party wishes and providing
unwanted life sustaining interventions.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Promoting the Right of Self-Determination for Healthcare Decisions and
Advanced Healthcare Directives dated 11/2016 showed the staff should document in the medical chart, the
existence of an advance directive, living will and/or standing physician order form (POLST). The staff should
review the documents for completeness and confirm with the resident and/or legal healthcare decision
maker that the documents are current and have not been revoked or superseded by subsequent
documents. The staff should notify the resident's treating physician of current or changes to the advance
directives or verbally expressed healthcare and treatment wishes, so that appropriate orders can be
obtained and documented in the resident's plan of care. The physician must 'sign' all order to withhold
treatment or withdraw life sustain treatment. The orders may not be carried out by the facility until the order
has been 'signed', telephone orders for withholding treatment or to withdraw life sustaining treatment are
not permitted.
Medical record review for Resident 102 was initiated on [DATE]. Resident 102 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 102's H&P examination dated [DATE], showed Resident 102 had no capacity to
understand and make decisions, and Resident 102's code status was DNR.
Review of Resident 102's POLST dated [DATE], showed Resident 102's responsible party selected
treatment as Do Not Attempt Resuscitation/DNR, and to allow a natural death. The form was signed by
Resident 102's responsible party on [DATE], and signed by the physician on [DATE], 55 days after the form
was signed by the resident's reponsible party.
On [DATE] at 1541 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 102 was
conducted with the SSD. The SSD stated every resident should have a physician's order with the code

status. The SSD stated if the resident did not have a physician's order for the code status, the licensed
nurse was responsible for contacting the physician. The SSD reviewed Resident 102's POLST form and
stated Resident 102's responsible party had signed Resident 102's POLST on [DATE], and chose DNR.
The SSD verified the above findings.
Review of Resident 102's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated [DATE], for DNR,
Comfort Measures.
On [DATE] at 1437 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the purpose of the
POLST form was to provide directions to the nursing staff on how to respond in the event of emergency. If
the POLST form was not signed or completed, the resident was considered a full code (prolonging life by all
medically effective means); thus, in the event of an emergency, CPR would be attempted. Additionally, the
DON stated all the residents should have a physician's order for the code status. If there was no physician's
order for the code status, the resident would be considered a full code. The DON stated if the POLST form
was signed by the resident's responsible party, the facility should follow-up to obtain the physician's
signature as soon as possible. The DON stated the POLST must be signed by the physician to be effective.
The DON stated if the physician would not be in the facility to sign the POLST form, the form could be faxed
to the physician to sign as soon as possible.
On [DATE] at 1207 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview, the facility failed to maintain a homelike environment for one nonsampled
resident (Resident 86).
* Resident 86 resided in Room A. Resident 86 was observed sitting on his bed eating breakfast. A live pest
(later identified as a water bug or roach) was observed on top of Resident 86's bed linen, next to Resident
86. This failure had the potential to negatively impact the resident's quality of life.
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 86 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 86 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
On 5/12/25 at 0750 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 86 and
CNA 10. Resident 86 was observed sitting on his bed eating breakfast. A live water bug/roach was
observed on top of Resident 86's bed linen, next to Resident 86. CNA 10 verified the findings and then
attempted to remove the bug/roach from Resident 86's bed, at which time the water bug/roach moved onto
the floor. CNA 10 then stepped on the water bug/roach. Resident 86 was asked how the incident made him
feel. Resident 86 stated he preferred no pests on his bed while eating.
On 5/12/25 at 1500 hours, an interview and concurrent photographic review was conducted with the Pest
Control Technician (from Pest Control Company 1). The Pest Control Technician arrived at the facility to
conduct an inspection of Room A. The Pest Control Technician was shown a photograph of the pest that
was observed on Resident 86's bed linen. The Pest Control Technician identified the pest as either a water
bug or roach. The Pest Control Technician stated he placed pest monitors and applied pest gel throughout
Room A.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Medical
record review for Resident 23 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 23 was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 23's H&P examination dated 1/19/25, showed Resident 23 had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 23's Order Summary Report dated 5/9/25, showed the following physician's orders
dated 4/4/25:
- to monitor Resident 23's orthostatic BP sitting up every week on Wednesday, during the evening shift; and
to notify the physician if there was a drop of 20 mmHg in the systolic BP, or a drop of 10 mmHg in the
diastolic BP,
- to monitor Resident 23's orthostatic BP lying down every week on Wednesday, during the evening shift;
and to notify the physician if there was a drop of 20 mmHg in the systolic BP, or a drop of 10 mmHg in the
diastolic BP, and
- to administer Seroquel (antipsychotic) 25 mg by mouth two times a day for psychosis manifested by
constant repetitive movements.
Review of Resident 23's plan of care showed a care plan problem dated 4/8/25, addressing Resident 23's
behavior problem of constant repetitive movements. The intervention included monitoring the orthostatic
blood pressure as ordered.
Review of Resident 23's MARs for April and May 2025 showed the following:
- on 4/9/25, the BP readings were 126/52 mmHg for the sitting and lying position,
- on 4/30/25, the BP readings were 125/62 mmHg for the sitting and lying position, and
- on 5/17/25, the BP readings were 142/78 mmHg for the sitting and lying position.
On 5/9/25 at 1057 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 23 was
conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5 verified the above findings and stated the BP readings should not be the
same for the different positions.
On 5/12/25 at 1410 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the residents on
psychotropic medications should be monitored every shift for the side effects related to the use of the
psychotropic medication, such as dizziness and orthostatic hypotension. The DON stated for the residents
prescribed the antipsychotic medication, there should be a physician's order to monitor the resident for
orthostatic hypotension. The DON further stated the monitoring for orthostatic hypotension was done by
obtaining the resident's BP in different positions. The DON stated after the licensed nurse obtained the
resident's BP readings in the different positions, the licensed nurse was expected to compare the BP
readings and determine if there was a drop in the BP, which would indicate orthostatic hypotension. The
DON stated the orthostatic BP readings should not be the same for the

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 5/13/25 at 1207 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.
Residents Affected - Few
Based on interview, medical record review,and facility P&P review the facility failed to ensure three of five
final sampled residents (Residents 23, 59, and 112) reviewed for unnecessary medications were free from
unnecessary medications.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 112 was monitored accurately for orthostatic hypotension as ordered
by the physician for the use of risperidone (antipsychotic). In addition, the facility failed to implement
nonpharmacological interventions prior to the use of the mirtazapine (antidepressant) medication and failed
to ensure monitoring for the side effects of the mirtazapine medication.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 23's orthostatic blood pressures were accurately monitored for the
use of the Seroquel (antipsychotic) medication.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 59's prescription for zolpidem tartrate (sedative-hypnotic) had
documentation of the physician's clinical rationale when the PRN order was extended beyond 14 days. This
failure had the potential to negatively impact the Resident 59's well-being from the continued use of the
zolpidem tartrate medication.
These failures had the potential for adverse effects from the psychotropic medications and the potential for
not providing the correct data to the prescriber to adjust the dosage of psychotropic medication.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Management dated November 2017 showed
clinically necessary PRN psychotropic drug orders are limited to 14 days. If the prescribing practitioner
determines a need for continued PRN use beyond the original 14 days, it is accompanied by supporting
documentation in the electronic health record (EHR) including the rationale for continued use and duration;
and
Review of the facility's P&P titled Use of Psychotropic Medication, revised 8/2024 showed the residents are
not given psychotropic drugs unless the medication is necessary to treat a specific condition, as diagnosed
and documented in the clinical record, and the medication is beneficial to the resident, as demonstrated by
monitoring and documentation of the resident's response to the medication(s). The Policy Explanation and
Compliance Guidelines section of the P&P showed in part, the following:
1. A psychotropic drug is any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and
behavior. Psychotropic drugs include but are not limited to the following categories: antipsychotics,
antidepressants anti-anxiety, and hypnotics.
4. The indications for use of any psychotropic drug should be documented in the medical record.
b. For psychotropic drugs that are initiated after the admission to the facility, documentation shall include
the specific condition as diagnosed by the physician.

Further review of Resident 112's MARs for February through 5/11/25, showed the orthostatic BP (lying,
sitting, and standing) were scheduled to be monitored every Wednesday. However, the BP readings for the
three positions were the same as follows:
- on 2/12/25, the BP readings were 125/76 mmHg for the lying, sitting, and standing position.
- on 2/19/25, the BP readings were 127/69 mmHg for the lying, sitting, and standing positions.

Review of Resident 70's H&P examinations on 2/9/24 and 10/1/24, showed Resident 70 had a past medical
history including anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder.
Review of Resident 70's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 70 had a BIMS score of 15,
indicating cognitive intact. Further review of the assessment under Section I - Active Diagnoses failed to
show documented evidence the anxiety or depression disorder was coded.
Review of Resident 70's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 70 had a BIMS score of 13,
indicating cognitive intact. Further review of the assessment Section I - Active Diagnoses failed to show
documented evidence anxiety or depression disorder was coded.
On 5/12/25 at 1313 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with MDS
Coordinator 1. MDS Coordinator 1 verified the above findings. MDS Coordinator 1 stated Section I of
Resident 70's MDSs assessment should have been coded to include the diagnosis of anxiety and
depression disorders as soon as the physician note indicated the new diagnoses or on the next MDS
assessment.
On 5/13/25 at 1230 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.
Based on interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure the coded MDS assessment was
accurate for two of 30 final sampled residents reviewed for the MDS assessments (Residents 70 and 112).
* Resident 112's MDS assessment was incorrectly coded for active diagnoses of hypertension (high blood
pressure), hyponatremia (low sodium), and depression. In addition, Resident 112's MDS assessment was
not coded to reflect the use of the antidepressant medication and was incorrectly coded to show the last
attempted GDR for the use of antipsychotic medication on 2/6/25.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 70's MDS assessment Section I was accurately coded to include the
resident's diagnoses of anxiety (disorder where intense feeling of worry and fear of everyday situations
interfere with daily living) and depression (mood disorder).
These failures had the potential for not providing necessary care and services to meet the care needs for
these residents.
Findings:
1. Medical record review for Resident 112 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 112 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE], and readmitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident 112's H&P examination dated 2/9/25, showed Resident 112 had no capacity to make
medical decisions.

Residents Affected - Some
a. Review of Resident 112's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 2/6/25, for clonidine
HCL oral tablet 0.1 mg one tablet by mouth every six hours as needed for hypertension when SBP greater
than 160 mmHg.
Review of Resident 112's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 112 did not have an active
diagnosis of hypertension.
b. According to the Mayo Clinic, a normal blood sodium level is between 135 and 145 mEq/L
(https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hyponatremia/symptoms-causes/syc-20373711).
Review of Resident 112's Order Summary Report showed a physician's orders dated 2/7/25, for sodium
chloride (supplement) oral tablet 250 mg by mouth in the morning for supplement.
Review of Resident 112's BMP laboratory blood results dated 2/21/25 and 3/31/25, showed the resident's
sodium level of 132 mEq/L.
Review of Resident 112's MDS assessment dated [DATE], failed to show the coding for an active diagnosis
of hyponatremia.
c. Review of Resident 112's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 2/11/25, for
mirtazapine (antidepressant) oral tablet 15 mg one tablet by mouth at bedtime for depression as manifested
by poor appetite (less than 50% of meal intake).
Review of Resident 112's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed no coding for an active diagnosis of
depression. Further review of Resident 112's MDS assessment showed the coding included Resident 112
received antidepressant medication.
d. Review of Resident 112's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed coding when the last date of the last
attempted GDR for the use of the the resident's antipsychotic medication was on 2/6/25.
Review of Resident 112's medical record failed to show documented evidence of the last attempted GDR
on 2/6/25.
On 5/9/25 at 1154 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with MDS
Coordinator 1. MDS Coordinator 1 verified the above findings and stated the MDS assessment was coded
incorrectly when it showed Resident 112 did not have a diagnosis of hypertension, hyponatremia, and
depression. MDS Coordinator 1 stated for the hypertension diagnosis, Resident 112's physician's order for
the clonidine medication might had been initiated while the resident was in the acute care hospital and the
order was carried over to the facility without a medical indication. The MDS Coordinator stated he did not
code Resident 112's MDS assessment to show a diagnosis of hyponatremia because Resident 112's
laboratory results dated [DATE], showed a normal sodium level of 137 mEq/L. MDS Coordinator 1 reviewed
Resident 112's MDS assessment dated [DATE], and verified the MDS was coded incorrectly when it
showed Resident 112 had no active diagnosis of depression. MDS Coordinator 1 verified Resident 112 was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE], and was coded incorrectly when it showed Resident 112's last GDR
was 2/6/25. MDS Coordinator 1 stated Resident 112's physician's order for the risperidone medication upon
readmission to the facility on 2/6/25, was different than the physician's order for the risperidone medication
prior to Resident 112's transfer to the acute care hospital, and this might had been interpreted by the MDS
staff as an attempted GDR.

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to coordinate an assessment with the PASARR
program for one of two final sampled residents (Resident 70) reviewed for PASARR when the resident had
a new diagnosis of anxiety and depression. This failure posed the risk for Resident 70 not receiving the
necessary specialized services specific to treat mental illness.
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 70 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 70 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure the Level I PASARR contained accurate
information for one of two final sampled residents (Resident 15) reviewed for PASARR.
Residents Affected - Some
* Resident 15 had the diagnoses of psychosis, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorder; however the Level I
PASARR showed Resident 15 had no serious mental illness. This failure posed the risk for Resident 15's
inappropriate placement in a long-term care nursing home when a PASARR Level II evaluation was not
done.
Findings:
According to the DHCS, federal law requires all individuals seeking admission to a Medicaid Certified
Nursing Facility to receive a Level I Screening. The Level I Screening identifies if an individual has a
suspected MI or an Intellectual/Developmental Disability or related condition (ID/DD/RC). If MI is suspected,
then a Level II Mental Health Evaluation may be conducted to determine if the individual can benefit from
specialized mental health services. This process is known as the PASARR.
Medical record review for Resident 15 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 15 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with the diagnoses of unspecified psychosis, schizophrenia, and anxiety
disorder.
Review of Resident 15's H&P examination dated 10/22/24, showed Resident 15 had no capacity to make
medical decisions.
Review of Resident 15's PASARRLevel I Screening dated 7/28/23, showed Resident 15 had no diagnosis
of serious mental disorder such as depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, schizophrenia, or
symptoms of psychosis, delusions, and/or mood disturbance. The form showed the Level I screening was
negative and Level II evaluation was not required.
On 5/8/25 at 1507 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 15 was
conducted with MDS Coordinator 1. MDS Coordinator 1 stated the PASARR Screening was a tool used to
screen and evaluate residents with serious mental disorders and/or intellectual disabilities or neurological
conditions. MDS Coordinator 1 stated the purpose of the screening was to ensure those residents were
placed in the proper setting. MDS Coordinator 1 reviewed Resident 15's medical record and verified the
above findings. MDS Coordinator 1 stated Resident 15's PASARR Level I Screening was inaccurate.
On 5/13/25 at 1207 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive
care plan was developed for one of 30 final sampled residents (Resident 49).
* The facility failed to develop a care plan specific to Resident 49's ability to leave the facility (physician's out
on pass order). This failure placed the resident at risk for not being provided appropriate, consistent, and
individualized care.
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 49 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 49 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 49's Order Summary Report showed the following physician's orders:
- dated 10/4/21, for Resident 49 to go out on pass (leave the facility) for up to four hours.
- dated 11/6/24, Resident 49 could go out on pass with his responsible party.
Review of Resident 49's medical record failed to show the name or contact information for Resident 49's
responsible party.
Review of the facility's Release of Responsibility for leave of absence log showed on 5/7/25 at 1030 hours,
Resident 49 was out of the facility, out on pass in the city of Anaheim.
On 5/7/25 at 1200 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 2. RN
2 was asked if she knew who Resident 49's responsible party was. RN 2 then reviewed Resident 49's
medical record and stated his medical record failed to show the name or contact information specific to
Resident 49's responsible party. RN 2 reviewed Resident 49's plan of care and verified the facility failed to
develop a care plan, specific to Resident 49's ability to leave the facility (out on pass). RN 2 stated she
would contact Resident 49's physician and attempt to clarify Resident 49's out on pass orders, to determine
whether Resident 49 was able to leave the facility independently or required his responsible party to
accompany Resident 49 when he left the facility.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the
physician's recommendation was carried out as ordered for one nonsampled resident (Resident 94). This
failure had the potential of Resident 94 not receiving care as ordered.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Record Content - Laboratory and Radiology Reports dated 1/2004
showed the facility shall obtain laboratory, radiology, or other diagnostic service to meet the needs of the
residents as prescribed by the physician. Contact the laboratory and/or radiology services in accordance
with the physician's order. Log this in the lab and/or x-ray control log and complete the appropriate
requisition form. The P&P further showed to sign and date the reports when reviewed. The license nurse or
other will be responsible for faxing each report to the attending physician promptly after nurse's review.
Moreover, the P&P showed to file the reports in the resident's health record when the nurse has signed off
these reports. Contact the service and request an immediate copy of the laboratory or radiology reports
that are not received within 48 hours.
Medical record review for Resident 94 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 94 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted back to the facility on 3/12/24.
Review of Resident 94's H&P examination dated 3/31/25, showed Resident 94 was alert and oriented.
Review of Resident 94's Order Review Report from 4/1/2024 to 5/31/2024, showed an order dated 5/1/24,
for an appointment for MRI of the brain and cervical spine without contrast scheduled on 5/23/24 at 1615
hours.
Review of Resident 94's MRI of the Cervical Spine Without Contrast dated 5/23/24, showed the findings
indicate in image number six, seven, and eight, there is suggestion for a mass involving the right side of the
neck anterior to the sternocleidomastoid; however, this is a very limited observation because only in axial
sections is present. The MRI results further showed the estimated size of the mass could be about 2.4 cm.
This could be due to positioning; however, a mass cannot be ruled out.
Review of Resident 94's Summary of the Visit report written in Spanish dated 12/20/24, showed the
physician recommended to bring the result of the MRI on 5/23/24, to the next appointment at this neurology
clinic scheduled on 4/11/25.
Review of Resident 94's Neurology Clinic Progress Note dated 4/11/25, showed Resident 94 had the MRI
performed, but the previous MRI on 5/23/24, was not available for review. The progress note further showed
Resident 94 reported he continued to have weakness affecting the right hand and the bilateral legs. The
recommendations of the appointment showed to follow up on the results of the MRI brain and C-spine
(cervical spine - the first seven stacked vertebral bones of the spine), physical therapy as able, and return
to center six months or sooner as needed.
On 5/13/25 at 0935 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 1.
RN 1 stated when the residents went to in-office physician appointments, a copy of the resident's face

appointment, the receiving nurse, charge nurse, or desk nurse would review and follow up on any orders
given by the physician. RN 1 verified Resident 94's MRI results from 5/23/24, were uploaded on the
resident's medical records on 5/1/25; however, RN 1 acknowledged the MRI was completed on 5/23/24. RN
1 stated the upload of the MRI results were late and documentation showed the request for a copy of the
MRI results was dated 4/30/25.
On 5/13/25 at 1051 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the Case
Manager. The Case Manager verified the above findings. The Case Manager stated when a resident
returned from physician's appointment and the physician requested for imaging, he completed a form to
provide the information where the results of the imaging should be sent directly to the ordering physician.
When asked for a copy of the form, the Case Manager stated he did not keep the forms and had discarded
it. The Case Manager further stated he did not follow up with the ordering physician's office if the MRI
results were sent.
On 5/13/25 at 1106 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the Case
Manager and RN 1 present to assist with the translation of Summary of the Visit report written in Spanish
dated 12/20/24. RN 1 stated if the receiving license nurse could not read Spanish, the report should have
been given to a license nurse who could translate the form. RN 1 translated the Summary of the Visit report
and stated the report showed to bring the result of the MRI to the next neurology appointment scheduled on
4/11/25. RN 1 stated a copy of the MRI result from 5/23/24, should have been provided to the ordering
physician.
On 5/13/25 at 1208 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and the DON. The DON
stated she expected the license nurses to enter the orders received by the physician upon return from an
appointment and to document. The DON further stated if an after summary visit report was in written in
Spanish and the receiving nurse did not know how to read Spanish, the report should be given to a nurse
who would be able to translate the report to ensure the physician's orders were carried out. The
Administrator and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to provide the physician's order for a
health shake with every meal for one of 30 final sampled residents (Resident 115).
Residents Affected - Few
* Resident 115 had a physician's order to receive a four ounces of the health shake three times a day with
meals. However, Resident 115 did not receive the health shake with meals. This failure had the potential to
compromise Resident 115's nutritional status and posed the risk for negative health outcomes.
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 115 was initiated on 5/8/25. Resident 115 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 115's H&P examination dated 10/31/24, showed Resident 115 had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 115's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 11/14/24, to provide
supplement health shake four oz three times a day with meals.
On 5/8/25 at 1256 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 8. CNA 8
stated the food tray should have all the items listed on the meal ticket. CNA 8 verified the resident's printed
meal ticket showed one health shake; however, there was no health shake observed on Resident 115's
meal tray.
On 5/9/25 at 0829 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 9. CNA 9
stated the food tray and meal ticket were checked in the kitchen to ensure the items match and the food
items listed on the resident's meal ticket should be on the food tray. CNA 9 confirmed the meal shake was
not on the tray during breakfast for Resident 115.
On 5/9/25 at 1010 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 115 was
conducted with the DON. The DON verified Resident 115 had a physician's order for a health shake three
times a day and acknowledged the resident had not been receiving health shakes with meals.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 4. Review of
the facility's P&P titled Medication Administration -General Guidelines updated November 2021 showed the
medications are administered per the physician's orders.
Medical record review for Resident 98 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 98 was readmitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 98's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 3/5/25, for midodrine
HCl (a medication used to treat low BP) 5 mg one tablet by mouth three times a day for hypotension, and to
hold the medication if the SBP greater than 120 mmHg.
Review of Resident 98's MAR for April 2025 showed on 5/8/25, midodrine 5 mg medication was
administered to the resident at 0700 hours, with a SBP of 122 mmHg which was above the hold parameters
the SBP of 120 mmHg.
On 5/9/25 at 1039 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 1.
LVN 1 stated she administered Resident 98's midodrine on 5/8/25 at 0700 hours, and verified the resident's
SBP of 122 mmHg was above the ordered parameter to hold the medication, and the medication should not
have been administered the medication.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review,
the facility failed to ensure the necessary pharmaceutical services were provided to meet the needs for
three of 30 final sampled residents (Residents 98, 102, and 104 (not in the roster)) and two nonsampled
residents (Residents 7 and 90).
* The facility failed to ensure accountability for the controlled medications (medications that have the
potential for abuse or dependence) for Resident 102 when the hydromorphone (a controlled medication
used to treat severe pain) HCl 2 mg tablet was signed out of the Resident 102's Controlled Medication
Count Sheet but was not documented as administered in the MAR.
* The facility failed to ensure accountability for the controlled medications for Residents 7, 90, and 104
when the unused, discontinued controlled medications were not removed from the medication carts timely.
* The facility failed to ensure the medications were not left unattended on Resident 102's bedside table
during a medication administration.
* The facility failed to ensure the blood pressure medication was held as per the ordered hold parameters
for Resident 98.
These failures had the potential to result in drug diversion (illegal distribution or abuse of prescription drugs
or their use for unintended purposes). In addition, these had the potential for the residents to ineffective
treatment, medication errors, and adverse effects from unnecessary medication.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the medication side
effects were monitored for the use of mirtazapine (antidepressant medication) for one of five final sampled
residents (Resident 112) reviewed for unnecessary medications. This failure had the potential for Resident
112 to experience negative side effects of the mirtazapine medication without adequate monitoring.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Consultant Pharmacist Reports IIIA1: Medication Regimen Review
(Monthly Report) revised 08/2019, showed the consultant pharmacist performs a comprehensive
medication regimen review (MRR) of each resident at least monthly to evaluate the response to medication
therapy, determine that the resident maintains the highest practicable level of functioning , and to prevent or
minimizes adverse consequences related to medication therapy. Resident-specific irregularities and/or
clinically significant risks resulting from or associated with medications are documented in the resident's
(active record) and reported to the DON, and/or prescriber as appropriate.
Medical record review for Resident 112 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 112 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident 112's H&P examination dated 2/9/25, showed Resident 112 had a history of dementia.
The H&P examination also showed the resident had no capacity to make medical decisions.
Review of Resident 112's Order Summary dated 5/9/25, showed a physician's order dated 2/11/25, to
administer mirtazapine 15 mg by mouth at bedtime for depression as manifested by poor appetite (less
than 50% of meal intake).
Further review of Resident 112's medical record failed to show a physician's order to monitor for the side
effects related to the use of the mirtazapine medication.
Review of Resident 112's MARs from 2/11 to 5/7/25, failed to show documented evidence Resident 112
was monitored for the side effects related to the use of the mirtazapine medication.
On 5/12/25 at 1116 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the DON
for Resident 112. The DON verified the above findings.
On 5/12/25 at 1415 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with the Consultant Pharmacist. When
asked about the procedure for monitoring the residents' responses to medications, the Consultant
Pharmacist verified all the residents should be monitored closely for the potential side effects/adverse
effects of the medications. The Consultant Pharmacist further stated he was not aware Resident 112 was
not monitored by the facility for the side effects related to the use of the mirtazapine medication.
On 5/13/25 at 1116 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five final sampled residents
(Resident 112) reviewed for unnecessary medications was free from unnecessary medications.
Residents Affected - Few
* Resident 112 had a physician's order for clonidine (medication to treat hypertension) without an active
diagnosis of hypertension (high BP).
* Resident 112 was administered sodium chloride daily without regular blood work monitoring her sodium
levels.
These failures had the potential for Resident 112 to receive the medications unnecessarily and experience
adverse effects which could negatively impact the resident's well being.
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 112 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 112 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident 112's H&P examination dated 2/9/25, showed Resident 112 had no capacity to make
medical decisions.
a. Review of Resident 112's Order Summary Report dated 5/9/25, showed a physician's order dated 2/6/25,
to administer clonidine HCl 0.1 mg by mouth every six hours as needed for hypertension when the SBP
greater than 160 mmHg.
Review of Resident 112's medical record failed to show documentation of an active diagnosis of
hypertension.
Review of Resident 112's MARs from February to May 2025 showed the resident did not have the blood
pressure readings with the SBP greater than 160 mmHg. Further review of the MAR showed Resident 112
was not administered the clonidine medication since the physician's order was placed on 2/6/25.
b. According to the Mayo Clinic, a normal blood sodium level is between 135 and 145 mEq/L
(https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hyponatremia/symptoms-causes/syc-20373711).
Review of Resident 112's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 2/7/25, to administer
sodium chloride 250 mg by mouth in the morning for supplement.
Review of Resident 112's MARs for February to May 2025 showed Resident 112 was administered one
sodium chloride 250 mg tablet at 0900 hours daily from 2/8 to 5/11/25.
Review of Resident 112's BMP laboratory blood results dated 2/21 and 3/31/25, showed the sodium levels
of 132 mEq/L.
Further review of Resident 112's medical record failed to show for additional testing of Resident 112's
sodium levels after 3/31/25.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the
medication error rate was below five percent. The facility's medication error rate was 26.67% for eight
medication errors out of 30 medication administration observations. Three of four licensed nurses (LVNs 3,
4, and 6) observed during the medication administration were found to have made errors for one final
sampled resident (Resident 102) and two nonsampled residents (Residents 40 and 43).
Residents Affected - Few
* LVN 6 failed to ensure the potassium liquid medication given to Resident 102 via the GT was diluted as
ordered by the physician. LVN 6 failed to ensure the medications were not administered together when
administering medications via the GT to Resident 102, and to flush the GT in between the medications.
* LVN 4 failed to administer the Refresh Tears (lubricating eye drops) medication to Resident 40 as ordered
by the physician.
* LVN 3 failed to administer the calcium with vitamin D (supplement) medication to Resident 43 as ordered
by the physician.
These failures had the potential for poor health outcomes to the residents.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Preparation and General Guidelines IIA2: Medication Administration General Guidelines revised 11/2021 showed medications are administered in accordance with the written
orders of the attending physician.
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled IIA9: General Guidelines for Administering Medications via Enteral Tube
(a flexible tube inserted into the stomach or small intestine to deliver nutrition or medications) revised
11/2021 showed the crush medications are not mixed together. The powder from each medication is mixed
with water. Each medication is administered separately to avoid interaction and clumping. The enteral
tubing is flushed with at least 10-15 ml of water between each medication to avoid physical interaction of
the medications. The medications that are GI irritants such as potassium chloride solution (supplement) are
diluted as recommended for oral administration since there is a high potential for gastric irritation when
medications are administered directly into the stomach through enteral tubes.
On 5/7/25 at 0802 hours, a medication administration observation was conducted with LVN 6 for Resident
102. LVN 6 prepared the following medications for Resident 102:
- one tablet of amlodipine (medication to treat high blood pressure)10 mg;
- one tablet of chewable aspirin (blood thinner) 81 mg;
- 10 ml of docusate sodium (stool softener) liquid 50 mg/ml;
- one tablet of fluconazole (antibiotic for overgrowth of yeast) 200 mg;

received a Vietnamese menu pureed diet.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the professional reference titled How Cooking Affects the Nutrient Content of Foods dated
11/7/19, showed the following nutrients are often reduced during cooking: water-soluble vitamins: vitamin C
and the B vitamins - thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), folic
acid (B9), and cobalamin (B12), fat-soluble vitamins: vitamins A, D, E, and K, and minerals: primarily
potassium, magnesium, sodium, and calcium .

food.
Review of the facility's untitled and undated document showed a list of all the facility's residents who
received the Vietnamese menu. The document showed 22 residents received food from the Vietnamese
menu, and five of the 22 residents received pureed food.
Review of the facility's document titled Meal Times showed the lunch time was started at 1215 hours.
Review of the facility's document titled Vietnamese Menu, Week 1 Thursday (undated) showed the stir fry
vegetable puree would be served.
On 5/8/25 at 1057 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with [NAME] 2. [NAME] 2
stated she already made the Vietnamese menu puree and showed three covered trays which were placed
inside the steam table. [NAME] 2 stated she made the pureed foods at 0945 hours, and placed them on the
steam table. [NAME] 2 stated the steam table was kept at over 170 degrees F and the temperatures after
the foods were cooked were as follows: pureed rice - 180 degrees F, pureed vegetables - 170 degrees F,
and pureed pork ball - 175 degrees F.
On 5/8/25 at 1200 hours, during the lunch trayline observation, the Vietnamese menu stir fry vegetable
puree was observed being served by [NAME] 2.
Review of the facility's document titled Food Temperature Log dated 5/8/25, and signed by [NAME] 2
showed the lunch pureed vegetables temperature was 158 degrees F.
On 5/13/25 at 1053 hours, an interview was conducted with the DSS. The DSS stated the foods would be
placed on the steam table 30 minutes before trayline. The DSS was informed and acknowledged the
findings. The DSS acknowledged preparing and placing the pureed vegetables on the steam table two

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. On 5/7/25
at 0909 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 538. Resident 538
was lying in bed. There were unlabeled cooked sweet potatoes with sauce in a disposable paper cup, and
peeled oranges in a closed plastic container stored on the bedside table (in room temperature) at the right
side of Resident 538's bed. Resident 538 stated the food was brought in by her family the night before and
she was planning to consume it later. Resident 538 stated the staff came into her room multiple times and
was not sure if they noticed the food stored at her bedside. Resident 538 did not remember if the facility
provided education on how to safely handle the food brought in from outside to her or her family member.
Residents Affected - Some
Medical record review for Resident 538 was initiated on 5/7/25. Resident 538 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 538's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 538 was cognitively intact.
Review of Resident 538's medical record did not show if education on safe food handling for the foods
brought in by the resident's family was provided to Resident 538.
On 5/7/25 at 0916 hours, an observation and concurrent interview with the Unit Manager. The Unit Manager
verified the above observation. The Unit Manager stated the food brought in by the family should be
consumed immediately or thrown out and should not be stored at the bedside.
On 5/9/25 at 0925 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 538 was
conducted with the ADON. The ADON was informed of the above findings. The ADON stated the facility did
not have the refrigerator to store food for the residents' food items brought in by the family. The ADON also
verified there was no documented evidence if the education on safe food handling for the food items
brought in by family was provided to Resident 538.
On 5/9/25 at 1408 hours, the DON was informed and acknowledged the above findings.
Based on observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the education on safe
food handling of outside food was provided to the residents and visitors as per the facility's P&P. In addition,
the facility failed to ensure food brought to the facility by the family member were stored, and safe food
handling practices were followed for one nonsampled resident (Resident 538). These failures had the
potential to cause foodborne illnesses to the medically vulnerable resident population who consumed food
brought from the outside sources.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Use and Storage of Food Brought in by Family or Visitors revised 8/2023
showed it is the facility policy to honor a Resident's Right to have food brought in by family or other visitors,
however, food must be handled and stored in a way to facilitate safety. Family members or other visitors
may bring the resident food of their choosing. The staff will provide information on safe food storage and
handling as deemed appropriate to resident and/or family. The resident and/or resident's representative are
responsible for maintaining bedside food storage containers and contents in a safe/sanitary manner.

glargine medication 15 units subcutaneously from 4/1 to [DATE], and from 5/1 to [DATE] at 0900 hours.
However, further review of Resident 41's MAR failed to show the resident's blood sugar levels were
documented prior to the administration of the insulin glargine medication 15 units subcutaneously in the
morning.
Review of Resident 41's progress notes failed to show the licensed nurses consistently documented
Resident 41's blood sugar levels prior to the administration of the insulin glargine medication 15 units
subcutaneously in the morning.
On [DATE] at 1112 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 41 was

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to maintain the infection prevention control program and practices designed to provide a safe and
sanitary environment to help prevent the transmission of communicable diseases and infections.
Residents Affected - Some
* The facility failed to implement the infection control monitoring and surveillance for April 2025.
* The facility failed to perform legionella testing per the facility's Legionella Water Management Program
frequency.
* The facility failed ton ensure Resident 131's contact enteric precautions were followed.
* Staff''s personal cell phone was stored in the treatment cart with the residents' treatment supplies.
* Staff placed their face-shield on top of an upside-down dirty linen cart lid.
* CNA 1 failed to don the gown when providing high-contact care to Resident 38 who was on EBP.
* The facility failed to ensure residents' clean clothes were transported in a way that maintained infection
control.
* Two of four LVNs (LVNs 4 and 6) observed for medication administration did not follow proper hand
hygiene procedure.
* The tip of the eye medication dropper touch Resident 40's eyelashes during the medication
administration.
* The back side of the glucometer (medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose
in the blood) for Medication Cart 2 was observed with red-brown smudges.
These failures posed the risk for transmission of disease-causing microorganisms and infections.
Findings:
1. On 5/13/25 at 0800 hours, a concurrent interview and review of the facility's IPCP was conducted with
the IP. The IP stated the process was to review the residents' antibiotic orders as soon as possible to
determine if their suspected infection met Loeb's Criteria (a set of minimum symptoms and signs used to
guide the decision-making process for initiating antibiotic therapy in long-term care settings) or McGeer's
Criteria (a set of specific definitions to identify true infections in long term nursing facilities). Infections are
monitored for trends to determine if an outbreak occurs, or needed education on infection control practices.
Review of the facility's antibiotic report for April 2025 showed 25 antibiotics were ordered for suspected
infections. The IP stated she did not review the residents' suspected infections for April, to determine if they
met criteria. The list showed Resident 123 started piperacillin sodium

meet either Loeb's or McGeer's Criteria for infection. The IP verified since she did not review any residents
with antibiotic orders for suspected infections in April previously, other residents with suspected infections
might not have met criteria.
2. Review of the facility's Legionella Water Management Program showed Legionella testing will be
performed quarterly. Legionella testing results were dated 2/14/24 and 3/25/25.
On 5/9/25 at 1035 hours, an interview and facility document review was conducted with the Maintenance

Review of Resident 131's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 4/23/25, for contact
enteric precaution for C. diff (Clostridium difficile-a contagious bacteria that can cause inflammation of the
colon) toxin.
On 5/7/25 at 0838 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with the Optometrist at
Resident 131's bedside. The Optometrist was observed at the resident's bedside, in a mask, face shield,
gown and gloves, in contact with the resident and other surfaces in the resident's room, including the edge
of the bed and a bedside tray table. A sign was posted at the resident's doorway which showed for contact
enteric precautions and instructed people to wash their hands with soap and water upon leaving the room.
The Optometrist stated they were informed by the facility staff that the resident had isolation precautions for
a UTI, not C. diff. The Optometrist was observed removing her isolation gown and gloves, and using ABHR
for hand hygiene when leaving the room. The Optometrist then donned a new isolation gown and gloves,
and entered another resident's room, went to their bedside, and examined the resident. The Optometrist's
Assistant stated they were informed by the resident's nurse from the previous shift that Resident 131 was in
isolation for a urinary tract infection, and not C. diff.

placed it on a hook. The Janitor and Maintenance Supervisor verified the face-shield should not be placed
on the contaminated surface of the dirty linen cart lid.
7. Review of the facility's P&P titled Laundry Manual - General Policy (undated) showed the clean linen
shall be stored, handled, and transported in a way that precludes cross-contamination.
On 5/9/25 at 1023 hours, during an observation, Laundry Assistant 1 transported an uncovered laundry
cart containing the residents' clean clothes down the hallway near rooms [ROOM NUMBERS]. The laundry
cart was stationed across from room [ROOM NUMBER] and exposed with residents' clean clothes touching
the handrails.
On 5/9/25 at 1026 hours, an observation and concurrent interview with Laundry Assistant 1 was conducted
next to the laundry cart. Laundry Assistant 1 requested for CNA 7 be present during the interview to
interpret. Laundry Assistant 1 verified the findings. Laundry Assistant 1 verified she had the laundry cart
opened while transporting it down the hallway and verified the residents' clothes were touching the
handrails. Laundry Assistant 1 further stated the laundry cart should have been closed to prevent
contamination of the clean clothes.
On 5/13/25 at 1208 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and the DON. The
Administrator and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.
6. Review of the facility's P&P titled Infection Prevention Manual for Long Term Care, revised 5/2024

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview, medical record review, facility record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
implement their antibiotic stewardship program including timely monitoring of antibiotic use.
Residents Affected - Some
* The IP did not review antibiotics for appropriateness for April 2025 which showed 25 antibiotics were
ordered.
* The IP failed to notify Residents 14 and 26's physicians to re-evaluate the appropriateness of the
residents' antibiotics when it was determined their suspected infections did not meet criteria.
These failures had the potential of not accurately identifying true infections and exposing the residents to
unnecessary antibiotic use.
Findings:
According to the CDC, repeated and/or improper use of antibiotics was the primary cause of the
proliferation of drug-resistant bacteria. Each time a person uses antibiotics, the sensitive bacteria are killed;
however, resistant bacteria may result. These resistant bacteria may then grow and multiply. When the
antibiotics fail to work, the consequences include longer lasting illnesses, extended hospital stays, and the
need for more expensive and toxic medications. Some resistant infections can even cause death.
On 5/13/25 at 0800 hours, a concurrent interview and review of the facility's IPCP, antibiotic stewardship,
and Residents 14, 26, and 123's medical records was conducted with the IP. The IP stated the process was
to review the residents' antibiotic orders as soon as possible to ensure the appropriateness of the
antibiotics ordered. The IP stated she would review the residents' medical records, determine if the
antibiotic ordered was appropriate and notify the physician to reevaluate.
a. Review of facility's antibiotic report for April 2025 showed 25 antibiotics were ordered for suspected
infections. The IP stated she did not review the residents' antibiotic orders for April 2025. The list showed
Resident 123 was started on the piperacillin sodium tazobactam (antibiotic) medication on 4/30/25. The IP
reviewed Resident 123's medical record and verified the resident did not meet the criteria for appropriate
antibiotic usage. The IP verified since she did not review any residents' antibiotic orders for April previously
and other residents could have received inappropriate antibiotics.
The IP reviewed Resident 123's MARs for April and May 2025 and verified the antibiotics were
administered to the resident for the full seven days of the ordered therapy.
b. Review of the line listing report for March 2025 showed Resident 14 started doxycycline monohydrate
(antibiotic) 100 mg medication on 3/5/25, for an infection that did not meet criteria. The IP verified there
were no records to show the physician was notified that Resident 14's suspected infection did not meet the
criteria and re-evaluated the antibiotics for appropriateness.
The IP reviewed Resident 14's MAR for March 2025 and verified the doxycycline monohydrate 100 mg
medication was administered to the resident for the full 10 days of the ordered therapy.

c. Review of the line listing report for March 2025 showed Resident 26 started Levaquin 750 mg (antibiotic)
on 3/18/25, for a suspected infection that did not meet criteria. The IP verified there were no records to
show the physician was notified that Resident 26's suspected infection did not meet criteria and
re-evaluated the antibiotics for appropriateness.
The IP reviewed Resident 26's MAR for March 2025 and verified the Levaquin 750 mg medication was
administered to the resident for the full seven days of the ordered therapy.
