This deficient practice had the potential to cause psychosocial harm and can resident's right to be treated with dignity for Resident 90. Findings: A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated, the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including unspecified severe protein-calorie malnutrition (the state of inadequate intake of food [as a source of protein, calories, and other essential nutrients] in the body), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar [glucose]), and recurrent depressive disorder (when a person has experienced depressive symptoms for most of the day, for more days than not over two years). A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and care screening tool) dated 1/9/2024, indicated Resident 9 had a severely impaired cognition (ability to think and make decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 9 required moderate assistance on staff for eating. During a meal observation in Resident 9's room, on 3/25/2024 at 5:46 p.m., Resident 9 was observed being fed by Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3). CNA 3 was standing over Resident 9 and the resident was extending his neck to look up at CNA 3. During an interview with CNA 3 on 3/25/2024 at 6:12 p.m., CNA 3 stated and confirmed CNA 3 was standing up while feeding Resident 9. CNA 3 stated, CNA 3 should have been sitting down while feeding Resident 9 because it might seem like CNA 3 was rushing the resident while being fed and, it is more comfortable for residents if they are sitting down while feeding them. A review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled, Assistance with Meals, revised on 7/2017, indicated, residents who cannot feed themselves will be fed with attention to safety, comfort and dignity such as not standing over residents while assisting them with meals. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0604 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some for the use of the bilateral side rails as the side rails are a form of restrain if there is no consent and physician's order in placed. A review of the facility's P & P titled, Side Rails, reviewed on 2/22/2024, the P&P indicated, the side rails will be used to restrict the resident's movement for safety and a non-restrictive method used on a resident who uses the rails to assist in their movement (as an enabler). The same P&P also indicated, have physician get an informed consent from the surrogate decision-maker or resident, and the patient or responsible party will be explained risks and benefits of using side rails, care plan side rail use. A review of the facility's P&P titled, Bed Safety, reviewed on 2/22/2024, the P&P indicated, if side rails are used there shall be an interdisciplinary assessment of the resident, consultation with the Attending Physician, and input from the resident and/or legal representative . the staff shall obtain consent for the use of side rails from the resident or the resident's legal representative . side rails may be used if assessment and consultation will the Attending Physician has determined that they are needed to help manage a medical symptom or condition, or to help the resident reposition or move in bed and transfer, and no other reasonable alternatives can be identified. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that four of 16 sampled residents (Residents 9, 21, 25 and 189) were free from physical restraint (any action or procedure that prevents freedom of a person's body movement) by failing to ensure: 1. Resident 25 was free of unnecessary physical restraint when Resident 25 was found with bilateral full side rails while in bed. 2. That resident was free from physical restraint by failing to ensure the consent was completed and the physician's order for bed siderails were in place for Residents 9, 21 and 189. These deficient practices had the potential to result in entrapment (state of being caught in) and possible injury to Resident 9, 21, 25 and 189. Findings: A review of Resident 25's admission Record, indicated that Resident 25 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body), hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body) and diabetes mellitus (DM-a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar [glucose]). A review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive standardized assessment and care-screening tool), dated 3/8/2024, indicated Resident 25 has severe impairment in cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision-making and requiring maximal assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL-bed mobility, surface transfer, eating, walk in room, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene). A review of Resident 25's Physician Order dated 3/8/2024, indicated an order for a padded side rails up times two while in bed to prevent skin bruising when in contact with rails.

During an observation on 3/23/2024 at 9:46 a.m., Resident 25 was observed calm and quietly laying in bed with bilateral full side rails up. Residents Affected - Some During a concurrent interview and record review with the Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) on 3/24/2024 at 4:36 p.m., Resident 25's medical chart (progress notes, care plan, side rail assessments and physician orders) was reviewed. Resident 25's medical chart indicated missing less restrictive measures were provided prior to ordering bilateral full side rails up. RN 1 stated that before ordering bilateral full side rails up, the facility should have exhausted all other less restrictive measures and if those things were still not working, then they can order the full side rails up as the last resort. A review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled, Side Rails, reviewed on 2/22/2024, P&P indicated, Side rails will only be used on residents whose movement should be restricted due to safety, but only after the facility has attempted to use less restrictive alternatives. P&P also indicated that facility will do a restraint assessment with approval of the interdisciplinary team and document less restrictive measures attempted. A review of facility's P&P, titled, Bed Safety, reviewed on 2/22/2024, P&P indicated, if side rails are used, there shall be an interdisciplinary assessment of the resident, consultation with the attending physician and input from the resident and/or legal representative.

A review of Resident 13's MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 13 had some moderate cognitive impairment (fair communication skills but cannot typically communicate on complex levels) and required substantial to maximum assistance for ADL (bathing or showering, dressing, getting in and out of bed or a chair, walking, using the toilet, and eating). A review of Resident 13's history and physical (H&P- physician's examination of a resident, in which the physician obtains a thorough medical history from the resident or resident representative, performs a physical examination, and then documents the findings) dated 1/25/2024, indicated the resident had the capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 13's COC dated 3/20/2024 at 9:22 p.m., indicated Resident 13 was observed with a nonproductive cough. The COC did not indicate a complete respiratory assessment was performed. During an observation and interview with Resident 13 on 3/23/2024 at 10:30 am, Resident 13 was observed sitting in a wheelchair outside Resident 13's room in the hallway, coughing continuously during the interview. Resident 13 stated Resident 13 felt tired, was unable to sleep because Resident 13 was constantly coughing during the night. Resident 13 stated Resident 13 felt as if Resident 13 was bothering the other residents in the facility. Resident 13 stated Resident 13, felt their stares whenever I coughed. Resident 13's eyes appeared watery, red, sunken in, and the resident constantly was repositioning herself in bed. Resident 13 stated Resident 13 had been coughing for a couple days and that the cough was non-productive: no sputum. Resident 13 stated the nurses were aware and were giving Resident 13 something for the cough (Ipratropium-Albuterol inhalation solution via inhaler every 4 hour- a medication used to help control the symptoms of lung diseases, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema) but the medication was not working. During an interview Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) on 3/23/2024 at 4:30 pm, LVN 1 stated Resident 13 developed a cough approximately two days after receiving a COVID vaccination on 3/18/2024. LVN 1 stated the cough was a reaction to the COVID vaccination. LVN 1 confirmed and stated coughing was not one of the symptoms listed as an adverse (negative) effect according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC- national public health agency whose main goal is the protection of public health and safety through the control and prevention of disease, injury, and disability). LVN 1 stated that when a resident has a COC, a COC document needs to be completed, a care plan developed, and a physician and family notified about the COC. LVN 1 admitted that there was no care plan developed for Resident 13's cough. LVN 1 stated that having a care plan helps all the staff working with the resident know what type of care to provide the resident. During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 13's chart with Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/24/2024 at 10:15 a.m., DON confirmed and stated there was no documented evidence that there was care plan in place for the cough for Resident 13. DON stated a care plan directs what interventions to carryout for a resident and helps show if those interventions are working or not.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide preventive care consistent with professional standards of practice to two of two sampled residents (Residents 9 and 21), who was at risk for development of pressure injuries, by failing to: Residents Affected - Few 1. Ensure low air loss mattress (LALM-a mattress designed to prevent and treat pressure wounds) was functioning and was not turned off when Resident 9 was in bed. 2. Ensure the appropriate setting of the LALM was properly set up according to physician's order (MD order) for Resident 21. These deficient practices can place Residents 9 and 21 at risk of poor wound healing of the current pressure ulcer (injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin) and possibly development of a new pressure injury. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated Resident 9 was originally admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified severe protein-calorie malnutrition, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-a ongoing condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar [glucose]), and recurrent depressive disorder (when a person has experienced depressive symptoms for most of the day, for more days than not over two years). A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated 1/9/2024, indicated that Resident 9 had a severely impaired cognition (ability to think and make decisions) and requiring maximal assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL-bed mobility, surface transfer, eating, walk in room, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene).MDS also indicated Resident 9 was admitted with a stage four (4) pressure ulcer. A review of Resident 9's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 3/23/2024, OSR indicated an order for a LALM for treatment and management of pressure ulcer. During a concurrent observation and interview with Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) on 3/25/2024 at 8:23 p.m., Resident 9 was heard screaming for help. Resident 9 stated, Being uncomfortable. and Resident 9 was observed sunken from the bed. LALM machine was observed turned off. RN 2 stated that LALM machine should be turned on at all times since Resident 9 has multiple wounds and high risk for pressure injury. A review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled, Low Air-Loss Mattress/Bed, P&P indicated that LALM will be used to maintain skin integrity and to promote healing of existing pressure ulcers. 2. A review of Resident 21's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including toxic encephalopathy (a disease in which the functioning of the brain is affected by some agent or condition-such as viral infection or toxins in the blood), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe), and muscle wasting and atrophy (characterized by a (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555849 If continuation sheet Page 22 of 61 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 555849 B.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A review of the MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 21's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision-making were moderately impaired and required moderate to supervision from staff for ADLs. The same MDS also indicated that Resident 21 has a pressure ulcers/injury and is using a pressure reducing device for bed. Residents Affected - Few A review of Resident 21's Physician Order, dated 3/23/2023 indicated, as of 12/4/2023, low air loss therapy bed for treatment and management of pressure ulcer, settings depending on the patient weight every shift for wound management. A review of Resident 21's care plan for at risk or potential for skin breakdown, initiated on 11/1/2023, indicated a goal of resident will minimize skin impairment. During a concurrent interview and observation of Resident 21 on 3/23/2024 at 9:41 a.m., observed Resident 21 lying on a low air loss mattress at two (2) setting which indicated 105 pounds (lbs.). Resident 21 stated, his mattress feels rough. During a concurrent interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) and record review of Resident 21's medical chart on 3/23/2024 at 4:09 p.m., LVN 1 stated, Resident 21 has a physician's order for LAL mattress depending on the weight. LVN 1 further stated, Resident 21 most current weight (wt.) was 137 lbs. which was measured on 3/1/2024. During a follow-up interview with LVN 1 and observation of Resident 21 on 2/23/2024 at 4:21 p.m., LVN 1 observed Resident 21's LAL mattress setting and stated, Resident 21's LAL mattress was not in the correct setting as Resident 21 weighs 137 lbs. LVN 1 further stated, this puts resident at risk of delay of wound healing and further pressure ulcer.

This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 190 at risk for further ROM decline and contracture (a condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and rigidity of joints). Findings: A review of Resident 190's admission Record indicated Resident 190 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis (loss of the ability to move in one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (lack of blood flow resulting in severe damage to some of the brain tissue) affecting left non-dominant side and muscle wasting and atrophy (characterized by a significant shortening of the muscle fibers and a loss of overall muscle mass). A review of Resident 190's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive standardized assessment and care-screening tool), dated 3/14/2024, indicated Resident 190 has an intact cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision-making and requiring moderate assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL-roll left and right, sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of bed). MDS also indicated that Resident 1 was not on a restorative nursing program (a person-centered nursing care designed to improve or maintain the functional ability of residents). A review of Resident 190's Care Plan for ADL self-care deficit revised on 1/12/2023 and cerebral infarction, revised on 2/1/2023, indicated an intervention to turn and reposition every two hours and as needed and keep body in good alignment. During an initial tour of the facility on 3/23/2024 at 9:46 a.m., Resident 190 was observed lying laterally sideways on the bed, right arm was contracted, and both feet were hanging off the bottom of the bed. During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 190 on 3/23/2024 at 11:28 a.m., Resident 190 stated, he is unable to use his left side and his left arm is contracted. Resident 190 stated, he does not remember if he gets exercises on his arm, and no one has repositioned him since this morning. Resident 190 was observed lying lateral sideways on the bed, both feet were still hanging off the bed. During an observation with Resident 190 on 3/23/2024 at 3:29 p.m., Resident 190 was observed with eyes closed, lying lateral sideways on the bed.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents, (Resident 9), who was at risk for dehydration (lack of drinking sufficient fluids to meet the body's need) and malnutrition (food ingested [eaten]) does not provide enough nutrients or the right balance for optimal health), was offered sufficient food and did not experience unplanned severe weight (wt) loss (a body weight loss of greater than five [5] percent [% - unit of measure] in one month). The facility failed to: 1. Identify interventions related to Resident 9's poor food intake since admission to prevent progressive wt loss. 2. Monitor and document Resident 9's high protein nutrition (HPN - supplement nutritional drink with high protein) intake to determine Resident 9's intake met his nutritional needs. 3. Develop intervention including frequent foods and snacks when Resident 9 yelled or asked for food. 4. Ensure Registered Dietitian 1 (RD 1) promptly evaluated Resident 9 after the resident was identified with severe wt loss of 12 pounds (lbs - unit of measurement) on 2/2/2024. 5. Implement facility's policy and procedures (P&P) on Fortified Food (the process of adding nutrients to foods that are not naturally present or are insufficient in the original food ) Program to provide appropriate and equivalent food substitute for Resident 9 who had intolerance to dairy products. 6.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few 2. Stage four (4) pressure ulcer (severe tissue damage caused by injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin; a stage four is the largest and deepest of all pressure ulcer stages). Findings: A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 9 on 12/18/2020 with a readmission dated 1/4/2024. Resident 9's diagnoses included unspecified severe protein-calorie malnutrition, type 2 diabetes mellitus (long-term condition in which the body has trouble controlling blood sugar and using it for energy), and recurrent depressive disorder (when a person has experienced depressive symptoms [feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed] for most of the day, for more days than not over two years). A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care-screening tool), dated 1/9/2024, indicated Resident 9 had a severely impaired cognition (ability to comprehend, think, solve problem, process information, and make decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 9 required moderate staff assistance with eating and weighed 154 pounds (lbs). The MDS indicated Resident 9 was on a mechanically altered diet (foods are mechanically altered by whipping, blending, grinding, chopping, or mashing so that they are easy to chew and swallow) and therapeutic diet (meal plan that control and promote the intake of certain foods or nutrients). The MDS also indicated Resident 9 was admitted with a Stage4 pressure ulcer. A review of Resident 9's Physician Order, dated 1/12/2024, indicated: - Puree (foods that have a soft, pudding like consistency), controlled carbohydrate diet (CCHO - same number of carbohydrates every day to help people manage blood sugar levels), fortified (food with extra nutrients added to increase the calories and protein) diet with thin liquids (watery liquids) - Four ounces (oz.) HPN three times daily for poor oral intake (low food /liquids ingestion). A review of Resident 9's Care Plan, revised on 1/6/2024 for Resident 9's risk for dehydration and weight loss fluctuation, had a goal for Resident 9 not having significant weight changes of 5 lbs or more monthly. The interventions included monitoring Resident 9's skin turgor for tenting (very slow to return to normal, or the skin tents up during a check; this can indicate severe dehydration that needs quick treatment), monitoring for dry mouth, muscle cramps, and changes in mental status. A review of Resident 9's Care Plan revised on 1/7/2024 for Resident 9's severe protein-calorie malnutrition, had a goal for Resident 9 to gain one to two lbs per month in the next three months. The care plan interventions included monitoring Resident 9's weight loss and report to the physician and the RD promptly (if any wt loss). A review of Resident 9's Nutritional Care Assessment (NCA) form, documented by RD 1 on 1/12/2024, indicated Resident 9 weighed 154 lbs and was 66 inches tall. Resident 9's usual weight range was 186-193 lbs, the ideal body weight (IBW) range was128-156 lbs, with a desirable BW range of 149-159 lbs. RD 1 assessed Resident 9's daily caloric needs range 25-30 calorie per kilogram of weight cal/kg) equivalent to 1750-2100 calories per day.

The facility failed to: Residents Affected - Few 1. Closely monitor Resident 13's respiratory condition, including response to treatment after being identified to have a change of condition (COC, a sudden clinically important deviation from a patient's baseline) when Resident 13 develop a cough on 3/20/2024. 2. Perform a complete respiratory assessment (breathing rate, pattern and effort, skin color, chest configuration, and symmetry of expansion of the chest with each breath) as per policies and procedures (P&P) on Residents COC, Pneumonia, Bronchitis [inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs], and Lower Respiratory Infections -Clinical Protocol, and Resident Examination and Assessment. 3. Monitor and notify the attending physician (Physician 1) about Resident 13's worsening cough. 4. Notify Physician 1, on 3/21/2024, of Resident 13's chest X-ray results and recommendation to repeat X-rays if symptoms persisted or worsened. These deficient practices resulted in: 1. A four-day delay for Resident 13 to receive respiratory care consistent with Resident 13's respiratory symptoms. 2. Resident 13 having inability to sleep, fatigue (extreme sense of tiredness and lack of energy that can interfere with a person's usual daily activities), poor appetite, and loss of ability to taste food/fluids. 3. Transferring Resident 13 to General Acute Care Hospital 1 (GACH 1) on 3/24/2024, because of fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing. At GACH 1, Resident 13 was diagnosed with pneumonia and required intravenous (IV- delivered into a vein) antibiotics (medications used to treat infection). These deficient practices had the potential for further decline and complications related to increased risk for sepsis (a life-threatening infection in the blood that travels throughout the entire body), respiratory failure, organ failure, and death. Findings: A review of Resident 13's admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 13 on 6/23/2023, and the most recent readmission was dated on 1/6/2024.

LVN 4 placed all five medications in a clear plastic pouch and crushed the medications using a pill crusher (a metal tool used to crush pills at the same time). LVN 4 stated that medications must be crushed separately and one at a time because one may be unaware which medications a resident has taken or not taken. LVN 4 stated Proscar should not have been crushed per manufacture's guidelines because it was teratogenic (relating to or causing developmental malformations). LVN 4 confirmed that it would be impossible to explain which medications were being administered after being crushed together. During a concurrent observation and interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE], at 9:30 a.m., DON confirmed that LVN 4 crushed the above five medications together. The DON stated crushing together is considered compounding (the process of combining, mixing, or altering ingredients to create a new medication). The DON confirmed that the medication Proscar must not be crushed. The DON admitted that each medication cart should have had a list of Do not crush medication list, which would work as a point of reference for the nurses administering medications.

These deficient practices had the potential to result in overuse of an antipsychotic medication, without monitoring for the effectiveness and/or ineffective of the medication and can lead to adverse (negative) drug reactions. Findings: A review of Resident 21's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly), anxiety disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities), and major depressive disorder (a mental health condition that causes a persistently low or depressed mood and a loss of interest in activities that once brought joy). A review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated 2/10/2024, indicated that Resident 21 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to think and make decisions) and required moderate assistance from facility staff for mobility such as sit to stand, toilet transfer and tub/shower transfer. A review of Resident 21's Order Summary Report dated 12/4/2024, indicated the physician ordered the following: i. Haloperidol (medication used to treat nervous, emotional, and mental conditions) oral tablet 10 milligram (mg - unit of measurement) - give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day (BID) for schizophrenia. ii. Mirtazapine (medication used to treat depression) oral tablet 15 mg - give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime (HS) for depression. iii. Haloperidol - monitor with hashmark every shift for episodes of schizophrenia manifested by angry outbursts. A review of the facility's Pharmacist Consultant Monthly Regimen Review (MRR) for Resident 21, dated 2/21/2024, indicated the Pharmacist Consultant recommended; Resident (190) has been on Haloperidol 10mg BID and Mirtazapine 15mg QHS and GDR is due if medically warranted.

F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview, and record review, for two of 16 sampled residents (Residents 34 and 139), the facility failed to: Residents Affected - Few 1. Implement its protocol for antibiotic (a substance used to kill bacteria and to treat infections) use. 2. Monitor actual antibiotic use by failing to initiate a surveillance log These deficient practices had the potential for Residents 34 and 139 to develop resistance (not effective to treat infection) to antibiotics from unnecessary and inappropriate antibiotic use. Findings: During a concurrent interview and record review of the antibiotic stewardship binder with the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) on 3/24/24 4:10 a.m., the IPN confirmed and stated that the antibiotic surveillance log was not initiated to outline the antibiotics Residents 34 and 139 were receiving, including the dose, the frequency and how may times the residents had completed. The IPN stated that having a complete log in place was important because the log shows the trend and will also determine if the antibiotic order is not appropriate. The IPN stated staff may not know if the medication was necessary. The IPN stated the risk of not knowing the appropriateness of the ordered antibiotic had the potential for the resident to develop resistance to the antibiotic(s). During a concurrent interview and record review of the antibiotic stewardship binder with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/24/24 8:10 p.m., the DON confirmed and stated that there was no tracking log on file for ordered antibiotics. The DON stated not having antibiotic tracking log could result in administering unnecessary antibiotics to residents.
