why vital signs had not been documented or done for Resident #1. She stated if they were not documented,
it did not mean that they were not done. She stated the nursing staff needed to know to take vital signs
according to physician orders and should not rely on the computer system to prompt them to check vital
signs.
In a telephone interview on 09/29/2023 at 4:54 PM with LVN E revealed he worked night shift 10PM-6AM
and confirmed was assigned to resident #1 on 09/23/2023.He stated since he was away from the facility he
would not remember if he had documented vital signs but was sure that he had taken them. He stated he
usually wrote them down on paper but could not remember if he had transferred them unto the electronic
record. He stated he could not remember specifically if he had taken vital signs for Resident #1 since he
took a lot of vitals that night. He stated it was very important to check vital signs for any residents because
vitals had a lot of implications. He stated if a nurse was to rely on previous vital signs it could not be
accurate. He stated he always preferred to do vital signs in the moment. He stated he had been taught to
document on electronic record but could not give reason as to why the vital signs had not been
documented for his shift.
In a telephone interview on 09/29/2023 at 5:01 PM with LVN F revealed she had worked the day shift on
the weekend of 09/23-09/24 and was assigned to Resident #1. She said she would check vital signs for her
assigned residents every shift unless they were not feeling well, then she would check vital signs more
often. She stated she could not remember if she took vital signs specifically for Resident #1 on her shifts,
but that is what she accustomed in doing with all residents. She stated she probably did them, but they
were not documented. She stated that at times, she would write the vitals down on a sheet of paper and
would not record them in the electronic record. LVN F stated vital signs were important to establish a
baseline for the resident and have something to go off in case there was a change of condition. It allowed
for her to reference and look back to.
In a telephone interview on 09/29/2023 at 5:12 PM with Medical Director revealed he remembered
Resident #1 and assessing her on 09/25/2023. He stated if there was an order that he had placed to check
vital signs once a shift, he expected staff to do what a prudent nurse would do. He said the expectation was
not any different and when an order was given, he expected it to be carried out. He stated there might be
certain circumstances as to why it was not done as required by the state, but it had to be done. Could not
state a risk to the resident if orders were not followed.
In a telephone interview on 09/29/2023 at 5:20 PM with the Weekend Supervisor revealed she worked on
09/23- and 09/24-day shift and provided over-sight supervision to the nursing staff. She stated she ensured
charting was being done correctly on the weekends and had not checked if vital signs were being done
according to physician's orders. She stated if there was an order for vital signs to be done every shift, then
that had to be followed. She stated nurses were to take vital signs every shift to monitor the residents'
condition. She said once that was done, then it should have been documented it should be documented in
the electronic clinical record to keep record and note of what was occurring during the shift.
In a telephone interview on 09/29/2023 at 5:25 PM with RN G revealed she assigned to Resident #1 on
09/23/2023 on the evening shift 2PM-10PM. She said she remembered Resident #1and stated the previous
nurse had taken vital signs before she left for her shift; could not state at what time. She stated she thought
she had taken vital signs for her but could not be sure. She said if the computer prompted for her to do
them, then she must have. She said it was important to obtain the vital signs to know how the resident was
doing and to know the condition they were in compared to their baseline. She stated of course there was a
risk to the resident but could not state what it was. She stated it
