Residents Affected - Few Record review of Resident #2's care plan, dated 12/12/2024, reflected Resident #2 had behavior problems with interventions to intervene as necessary to protect the rights and safety of others, monitor behavior episodes and attempt to determine underlying causes and provide opportunity for positive interaction, attention-stop and talk to Resident #2. Record review of Resident #2's progress notes reflected no documentation of the incident that occurred on 12/4/2024 between Resident #1 and Resident #2. During an observation and interview on 01/07/2024 at 10:03 AM, Resident #2 was in his room watching television. When asked about the incident, Resident #2 stated he did not remember the incident. During an observation and interview on 01/07/2024 at 10:05AM, Resident #1 was observed sitting in a recliner in the common area and she did not answer any questions that were presented to her. During an interview on 01/07/2025 at 1:10 PM, the ADM stated the incident should be documented in the progress notes. The ADM stated there would be no negative outcome for not having documentation in the progress notes due to the incident being on the incident report. During an observation and interview on 01/07/2025 at 1:12 PM, the ADON was looking through Resident #1's clinical record and could not find the documentation of the incident. The ADON stated the incident should have been documented in the progress notes in the clinical record and the charge nurse involved should have documented it. The ADON stated she was responsible for ensuring documentation was complete and accurate and a possible negative outcome would be staff would not know about the incident and would not be aware of what to look for in resident behavior. During an observation and interview on 01/07/2025 at 1:20 PM, LVN A stated she was the charge nurse on duty during the incident. LVN A attempted to find the documentation in the EMHR but could not find it. LVN A stated she must have forgotten to document it because she was overwhelmed that day and was concentrating on ensuring the residents were ok. LVN A stated a possible negative outcome for not documenting incidents would be the records would not be accurate. Record review of the Resident-to-Resident Altercations Policy, dated December 2016, reflected the following: If two residents are in an altercation the staff will: Complete a Report of Incident/Accident form and document the incident, finding and any corrective measures taken in the resident's medical/clinical record.
