The procedure section showed, fall risk assessment and care plans updated for all residents at risk for falling and/or residents that have fallen more than once. Review of the facility's P&P titled Charting and Documentation revised 11/2023 showed all services provided to the resident, progress toward the care plan goals, or any changes in the resident's medical, physical, functional, or psychosocial condition shall be documented in the resident's medical record. The policy interpretation and implementation section showed documentation in the medical record will be objective, complete, and accurate. Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 12/19/24. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 1's cognition was moderately impaired. Further review of Resident 1's MDS showed the resident had a fall in the last month prior to admission. Review of Resident 1's progress note dated 12/10/24, showed Resident 1 was found lying on the floor by the bed. Further review of the progress note showed Resident 1 stated she stood up and tripped on other foot, then fell on the floor. However, review of Resident 1's fall risk assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 1 had no history of falls within the last six months. On 12/24/24 at 1138 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 verified Resident 1's fall risk assessment was inaccurate.
