Record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 09/23/25, reflected she had skin concerns related to mobility issues, and ADL self-care deficit related to her stroke. Record review of physician orders revealed an order dated 02/09/26 for Mupirocin Ointment 2% (an antibiotic ointment used to treat bacterial skin infections) to be applied to the left great toe two times a day. Cleanse with antimicrobial solution, apply mupirocin, and cover with dry dressing or band aid.Record review of Resident #1's February 2026 Treatment Administration Record reflected there was no documentation by the nursing staff showing that wound care was provided twice a day on February 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 16th, and 18th. Record review of progress notes indicate on 02/09/26 Resident #1's left great toenail was removed due to ingrown toenail.
