**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 develop a care
plan timely and implement care plan interventions for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). *
Resident 1 did not have a care plan for constipation. Additionally, Resident 1's care plan for diarrhea and
loose stools was not developed in a timely manner. There was no monitoring for Resident1's signs and
symptoms of dehydration as identified in the care plan. These failures had the potential risk of not providing
appropriate, consistent, and individualized care to the resident.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled
Comprehensive Care Plan dated October 2022 showed it is the policy of the facility to develop and
implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with resident rights,
that includes measurable objectives and time frames to meet a resident's medical, nursing and mental and
psychological needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment. Medical record review for
Resident 1 was initiated on 2/3/26. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident
1's H&P examination dated 3/29/25, showed Resident 1 had the capacity to understand and make
decisions. Review of Resident 1's Nursing Progress Notes dated 4/2/25, showed Resident 1 had loose
stools on 4/2/25. The Progress Notes further showed a physician's order to discontinue the docusate
sodium (stool softener), to hold Geri-Kot tablet (laxative), and to give Lactobacillus (probiotics to maintain
gut health). Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report showed the following orders:- dated 4/5/25,
discontinue docusate sodium oral tablet one tablet via GT in the morning for bowel movement, hold if loose
stool; - dated 4/5/25, hold Geri-Kot tablet 8.6 mg one tablet via g-tube for bowel management, hold if loose
stool ordered; and- dated 4/5/25, give Lactobacillus oral tablet one tablet via GT two times a day for
supplement. Review of Resident 1's care plan for diarrhea and loose stools initiated on 4/9/26, showed
interventions including to monitor, document and report as needed for signs and symptoms of dehydration
(dry skin and mucous membranes, poor skin turgor, weight loss, anorexia, malaise, hypotension, increase
heart rate, fever, abnormal electrolyte levels). Resident 1's care plan for the diarrhea and loose stools was
initiated seven days after the first episode of diarrhea/ loose stools started (on 4/2/25). Review of Resident
1's medical record failed to show a care plan was developed for the resident's constipation, and failed to
show the resident was monitored for signs and symptoms of dehydration. Review of Resident 1's Nursing
Progress Notes dated 4/16/25, showed the resident's abdomen was non- tender, bowel sounds present,
diarrhea noted and complaints of nausea. The physician was notified and an order was initiated for
loperamide HCl (medication to treat diarrhea) two mg one tablet via GT every eight hours for loose stool or
diarrhea. Review of Resident 1's Nursing Progress Notes dated 4/17/25, showed the resident was
transferred to the acute care hospital for abnormal vital signs and was admitted to the ICU. On 1/3/26 at
0946 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted with the MDS

responsibilities was to coordinate the initiation of care plans. The MDS Coordinator stated the admitting
supervisors would initiate the basic care plans, and she would add the diagnosis related care plans and
medications. The MDS Coordinator stated the charge nurses working the shift complete the episodic care
plans when the episode occurs with a timeframe as soon as it happens. The MDS Coordinator further
stated care plans are checked the following day by a charge nurse, MDS coordinators, and the DON. The
MDS Coordinator verified Resident 1 did not have a care plan for constipation despite Resident 1 taking a
laxative and stool softer every day. The MDS Coordinator also verified Resident 1 had loose stools starting
4/2/25, and the care plan was not initiated until 4/9/25. The MDS Coordinator stated the care plan should
have been initiated as soon as the episode of diarrhea occurred. The MDS Coordinator stated the care
plans were not done until the change of condition was reported. On 1/3/26 at 1414 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted with the IP. The IP stated she checked and
completed the infection related care plans. When asked what happened to Resident 1's care plan to
address episodes of loose stools, the IP stated the loose stools were just one time on 4/2/25, thus the care
plan was initiated on 4/9/25, when the change of condition was reported and documented. The IP reviewed
Resident 1's progress notes showing the resident had loose stools. The IP verified the above findings and
stated, I will get back to you.
