Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, dementia (decline in cognitive ability), muscle wasting, and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).

On 01/13/2026 at 2:10 p.m. Infection Preventionist B viewed the three videos. She said, It's definitely an infection control issue. She said she would find out who the CNA was and correct it.
