The facility failed to conduct a comprehensive bowel elimination assessment and document 's bowel pattern in the electronic health record for 2 of 3 shifts on 11/28/2025 and 2 of 3 shifts on 11/29/2025. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving bowel assessments leading to fecal impactions. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 12/03/2025, indicated she was a 72- year- old female, re-admitted [DATE], with diagnoses of constipation (hard stool), anemia (reduced oxygen to body), dementia (decline in cognitive function, (affecting memory, and thinking), pain, cognitive communication deficit (difficulty communicating). Record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 11/17/2025, indicated she was incontinent of bowel and at risk for constipation. The listed goal was for Resident #1 not to experience constipation and have a normal bowel pattern elimination. The listed intervention was to assess and document Resident #1 for usual bowel movement history, describing her usual pattern, time of day, amount/ frequency, color, and consistency of stool. RNs and LVNs to assess and RNs, LVNs, and CNAs to document findings. Record review of Resident #1's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE], indicated she had a BIMS score of 4 indicating severe cognitive impairment. Section GG- Functional Abilities, indicated Resident #1 was dependent on staff to meet her urinary and bowel incontinent needs. Section H- Bladder and Bowel, indicated Resident #1 was always incontinent of bowel. Record review of Resident #1's medication administration record, dated November 2025 indicated she received scheduled Acetaminophen- codeine (Opioid- pain medication) tablet 300-60 milligram by mouth four times a day and tizanidine (sedative/ hypnotic- muscle relaxant) tablet 2 milligram by mouth two times a day. Record review of Resident #1's order summary, dated 12/02/2025, indicated she had orders for the facility to monitor opioid side effects: In part- closely monitor for constipation every shift. Record review of Resident #1's order summary, dated 12/02/2025, indicated she had orders for the facility to monitor sedative/ hypnotic side effects: In part- observe closely for significant side effects of sedative/ hypnotic medication including constipation every shift. Record review of Resident #1's hospital notes dated 11/21/2025-11/24/2025 indicated she was admitted to the hospital with bradycardia (slow heart rate) and received two units of blood due to low blood count. The hospital report indicated patient is having stool impaction she received enema last night, but it did not help. Will consult surgery. Resident #1 had the fecal impaction removed during a colonoscopy. Discharge diagnosis of fecal impaction, bradycardia. Record review of Resident #1's assessments dated 11/28/2025-11/29/2025 indicated there was no nursing bowel assessment initiated nor completed by an RN or LVN when she went without a bowel movement four days after hospital discharge for fecal impaction, and bradycardia (slow heart rate).
