During an interview with PT on 6/3/2025 at 1:13pm, she stated she worked with Resident #1 on her
physical therapy daily and Resident #1 did have some mild edema to both her legs. She stated Resident #1
often lays in bed during the weekend and the swelling increases but throughout the week it will get better
due to her walking or moving more. She stated during the week the swelling was not very noticeable to her
legs. She stated she did not notice any changes in Resident #1's level of function and even knowing now
that Resident #1 was back on her Lasix, there had not been a change in her leg swelling.
During an interview with Resident #1 on 6/3/2025 at 1:34pm, she stated she thought there was an issue
with her water pill (furosemide/Lasix) but did not remember what or when. She stated everything was fine
now and she was happy that they give her the water pill in the morning because she does not have to get
up at night. She stated the facility had it all figured out and she did not have any concerns. Resident #1 was

ensuring any resident orders are placed into the system upon admission. She stated during their morning
meetings as a team, they would review all admissions for accuracy. She stated she was not sure how the
furosemide order was missed for Resident #1. She stated due to the incident they (administration) had now
implemented going through each medication on the discharge forms and making sure they are in the
system correctly. She stated the potential negative outcome of the orders not being placed into the system
could be the residents not having their medication regimen or reaching their therapeutic effect.
During an interview with the ADM on 6/3/2025 at 2:47pm, he stated the floor nurses are responsible for
initiating the admission procedure. He stated they have to input the medications, skin assessments, initial
notes and on their next clinical meeting the ADON and DON review the admission paperwork for
verification. He stated the potential negative outcome of residents not being given their ordered medications
could be missing medication and pertinent treatments. He stated he is not sure what had happened and

through each order individually to ensure they are in the system.
