During record review and interview on 02/14/25 at 11:09 am with the DON, she stated LVN B worked with
Resident #2 on 02/10/25 from 6am-6pm, LVN C worked with Resident #2 on 02/09/25 from 6pm-6am, and
RN A worked with Resident #2 on 02/12/25 during 6am-6pm shift and were each responsible for
documentation during their shift. The DON stated Resident #2 did have an order to check wander guard
placement and stated a blank on the administration record meant that it was not checked off. The DON
confirmed there were blanks on 02/09/25 on the 6pm-6am shift and 02/10/25 during the 6am-6pm shift. The
DON also confirmed RN A had checked off yes on the order regarding placement of Resident #2's wander
guard on 02/12/24 during her 6am-6pm shift. The DON was not sure why LVN B and C had not
documented Resident #2's wander guard placement on the monitoring administration record for Resident
#2. The DON was informed of an observation on 02/12/25 when RN A observed Resident #2 without her
wander guard in place. The DON was shown documentation completed by RN A that reflected the wander
guard was in place. The DON was unable to say if the documentation completed by RN A was inaccurate
and stated that was a question for RN A. The DON stated she did not know why RN A marked the wander
guard in place, and stated she did not know how RN A monitored that. The DON stated when she observed
Resident #2 on 02/12/25 at 6:30pm, she did not have her wander guard on her wrist, and it was in her bag.
The DON stated they did not have a specific area for the wander guard to be placed and stated it just had
to be on her. The DON stated she had previously trained staff over wander guards and had previously
spoken to staff about not leaving until they had finished their documentation. The DON stated herself and
the ADON were responsible for monitoring the records to ensure staff had completed accurate and
complete documentation. The DON added that Medical Records would sometimes help when she was
uploading document, and identified something was missed. The DON did not recall facility policy related to
accurate and complete documentation, and stated they did not have a policy for wander guards. The DON
stated it was important to complete documentation accurately and completely because it was physician
orders, and the floor nurses were ultimately responsible for carrying out those orders. The DON stated
incomplete, inaccurate documentation could negatively impact the residents because their orders were in
place to benefit them, and if it was being documented, it needed to be for their benefit. She stated if it was
not documented, then it went undone and that would be to a resident's disadvantage.
Residents Affected - Few

order to check wander guard placement, and stated a blank on the administration record meant that the
documentation was not there. LVN B stated on 02/10/25, she did check Resident #2's wander guard
placement during her shift and stated it was on her right arm, LVN B stated she was unable to recall why

complete and accurate documentation by the ADON or DON and different nurses during her training days.
LVN B stated the DON and ADON were responsible for monitoring and the records to ensure staff had
completed accurate and complete documentation. LVN B stated according to facility policy, they had to
complete documentation before the end of their shift. LVN B stated, in this situation, she did follow the
facility policy but did not know why she had not documented for Resident #2's wander guard placement on
Resident #2's administration record. LVN B stated it was important to complete documentation accurately
and completely so that they could go back and see what was done or not. She stated incomplete,
inaccurate documentation didn't let them know about the residents, and could impact follow up on residents'
care and health.
During a telephone interview on 02/14/25 on 2:15 pm with LVN C, she stated she worked with Resident #2
on 02/09/25 from 6pm-6am, and was responsible for documentation. LVN C stated Resident #2
