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.
