Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's medication administration record accurately reflected the administration of narcotic pain medication for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for medication administration. (Resident C). Findings include: The clinical record for Resident C was reviewed on 10/17/24 at 9:35 A.M. An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 09/24/24, indicated the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, anemia, hypertension, diabetes, and seizure disorder. A Physician's order, with a start date of 09/20/24, indicated staff were to administer 15 mg (milligrams) of Morphine Sulfate by mouth every three hours as needed for severe pain for 14 days. The September Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form, for the resident's Morphine Sulfate 15 mg medication, indicated the resident's medication was signed out as given on the following dates and times: 09/21/24 at 3:30 A.M., 09/21/24 at 11:45 A.M., 09/21/24 at 9:01 P.M., 09/22/24 at 5:10 A.M., 09/23/24 at 1:45 A.M., 09/23/24 at 5:26 A.M., 09/23/24 at 1:30 P.M., 09/24/24 at 4:30 (no other specification noted), 09/24/24 at 9:00 A.M., and 09/25/24 at 11:00 A.M. The September 2024 Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR) lacked documentation that the medication was administered on the following dates and times: 09/21/24 at 11:45 A.M. and 09/24/24 at 4:30 (no other specification noted). During an interview on 10/17/24 at 3:30 P.M., RN 2 indicated that when staff were administering a resident's narcotic, they were to write it in the narcotic book with the current date and time, then documented it in the electronic system. Anytime anything was signed out on the narcotic sheet, it was also documented in the electronic system. A current facility policy, titled Documentation of Medication Administration, with a revision date of April 2007, was provided by the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/17/24 at 3:00 P.M. The policy indicated, .A nurse .shall document all medications administered to each resident on the resident's medication administration record (MAR). Administration of medication must be documented immediately after (never before) it is given . This citation relates to Complaint IN00444788. 3.1-50(a)(1) 3.1-50(a)(2)

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to appropriately store medications related to an expired medication vial for 1 of 2 medication rooms reviewed. (Long Hall medication room refrigerator) Findings include: The Medication Room for the Long Hall was observed with LPN 1 on [DATE] at 3:32 P.M. The refrigerator contained an open vial of TB (Tuberculin) serum with an open date written on the side of the bottle of [DATE]. The vial was over half full. During an interview on [DATE] at 3:57 P.M., the DON (Director of Nursing) indicated the TB serum should have been discarded after 30 days from the open date. She could not identify how many residents could have received this medication after its expiration due to limited documentation in their system. The TB serum package insert was provided by the DON on [DATE] at 4:00 P.M. The directions for storage indicated, .vials in use more than 30 days should be discarded .

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to provide safe water temperatures for 5 of 9 resident rooms observed. (Rooms 45, 47, 42, 43, and 1) Findings include: During an interview and observation on 08/13/24 at 12:53 P.M., Resident 11 indicated the water in his bathroom was hot. The water in the resident's bathroom sink was felt and found to be hot. The water stream was to hot to keep a hand under the water flow without discomfort. The water temperature was tested with a probe and was found to be 121.5 degrees Fahrenheit. On 08/13/24 the following water temperatures were checked using a probe thermometer: - At 12:56 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 124.1 degrees Fahrenheit, - At 1:00 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 122.6 degrees Fahrenheit, - At 1:02 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 122.2 degrees Fahrenheit, - At 1:04 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 121.6 degrees Fahrenheit. During an interview on 08/13/24 at 1:16 P.M., the Maintenance Director indicated he would check the facility water temperature using a laser gun. He would point the gun's [NAME] towards the the bottom of the sink where the water was pooled. The following water temperatures were observed on 08/13/24, with the Maintenance Director using the laser gun: - At 1:16 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 120.0 degrees Fahrenheit, - At 1:18 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 116.0 degrees Fahrenheit, and - At 1:24 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 116.0 degrees Fahrenheit. During an observation and interview on 08/13/24, of hot water temperatures with the Administrator using a probe thermometer, that was provided by the Dietary Manager, the following was observed: - At 1:33 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 121.0 degrees Fahrenheit, - At 1:35 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 121.2 degrees Fahrenheit, - At 1:36 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 120.7 degrees Fahrenheit, - At 1:39 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 121.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and - At 1:41 P.M., Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] the water temperature was 121.4 degrees Fahrenheit. During an interview on 08/13/24 at 1:33 P.M., the Dietary Manger indicated the thermometer was calibrated to read hot water temperatures. During an interview on 08/13/24 at 1:45 P.M., the Administrator indicated the hot water temperatures should be 120 or below per the facility policy. During an interview on 08/13/24 at 1:48 P.M., the Maintenance Director indicated he would test the hot water temperatures at each nurses station. He would only test resident rooms if there was a problem. The purpose to keep the temperatures below 120 was so that resident's didn't get burnt. During an observation on 08/13/24 at 1:54 P.M., the mixing valve thermometer was at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. During an interview on 08/13/24 at 2:02 P.M., the Maintenance Director indicated the mixing valve was turned down a notch. During an interview on 08/14/24 at 9:15 A.M., the Administrator indicated they had flushed the water lines and a company came in and replaced a part. The facility hot water monitoring logs from 06/24/24 through 08/09/24 indicated the only documented temperatures were at the two nurses stations, Nurse Station 1 and Nurse Station 2 . There were no resident rooms documented. The current facility policy, titled Water Temperatures were provided by the Administrator on 08/13/24 at 1:45 P.M. The policy indicated, .of no more than 120 [degrees] Fahrenheit, or the maximum allowable temperature per state regulations .Water heaters that service resident rooms, bathrooms, common areas, and tub/shower areas shall be set to temperatures Tap water in the facility shall be kept within temperature range to prevent scalding of residents .Maintenance staff or designee shall conduct periodic tap water checks and record the water temperatures in a safety log .If at any time water temperatures feel excessive to the touch (i.e., hot enough to be painful or cause reddening of the skin after removal of the hand from the water), staff will report this finding to the immediate supervisor .If the water temp [temperature] is found to be out of acceptable range nursing staff will be notified, maintenance notified and a maintenance request completed and the Administrator notified . 3.1-19(r)(1) 3.1-19(r)(2)

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to notify the residents' physician for medications not administered for 2 of 15 residents reviewed for notification of change. (Residents 23 and 32) Findings include: 1. The clinical record for Resident 23 was reviewed on 06/28/23 at 9:29 A.M. A Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 06/05/23, indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, anemia, hypertension, and diabetes. An open-ended physician's order, with a start date of 04/27/23, indicated the resident was to receive Humalog (an insulin medication) 20 units in the morning. The May and June EMAR/ETAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record/Electronic Treatment Administration Record) indicated the resident had not received the medication on the following dates: - 05/05/23, due to the resident eating less than 50% of meal, - 05/06/23, due to the resident eating less than 50% of meal, - 05/07/23, due to out of range vital, - 05/12/23, due to out of range vital, - 05/15/23, due to the resident eating less than 50% of meal, - 05/17/23, due to out of range vital, - 05/18/23, refused, - 05/19/23, refused, - 05/21/23, due to out of range vital, - 05/22/23, due to out of range vital, - 05/28/23, unknown, - 06/02/23, due to the resident eating less than 50% of meal, - 06/12/23, due to no insulin required, - 06/15/23, due to out or range vital, - 06/16/23, due to out of range vital, and - 06/22/23, due to no insulin required. An open-ended physician order, with a start date of 04/27/23, indicated the resident was to receive Humalog 10 units in the afternoon. The May and June EMAR/ETAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record/Electronic Treatment Administration Record) indicated the resident had not received the medication on the following dates: - 05/04/23, due to resident not eating well, - 05/05/23, due to out of range vital, - 05/08/23, due to out of range vital, - 05/09/23, due to low blood sugar of 83, - 05/11/23, due to the resident had a poor appetite, - 05/14/23, due to the resident refused, - 05/21/23, due to the resident was out of the facility, - 05/29/23, due to the resident refused - 06/01/23, due to the resident refused, - 06/06/23, due to resident refused meal, - 06/12/23, due to no insulin required, - 06/15/23, due to out of range vital, - 06/16/23, due to out of range vital, and - 06/22/23, due to no insulin required. The clinical record lacked documentation that the physician had been notified of the Humalog not being administered. During an interview on 06/29/23 at 9:54 A.M., LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 3 indicated if a resident had hold parameters (instructions for not administering a medication), then the nurse could hold a medication. If the medication did not have hold parameters, they could hold a medication as a nursing precaution, but the physician would have to be notified the medication was held and staff would have to document in a progress note that the physician was notified. 2. The clinical record for Resident 32 was reviewed on 06/27/23 at 2:33 P.M. A Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 04/09/23, indicated the resident was moderate cognitively impaired. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, dementia, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, anxiety, and depression. An open-ended physician's order, with a start of 12/15/22, indicated the resident was to receive Lantus (an insulin medication) 72 units at bedtime (7:00 P.M.). The June 2023 EMAR/ETAR indicated the resident had not received the Lantus on the following dates: - 06/01/23, due to blood sugar of 107, - 06/07/23, due to blood sugar of 178, - 06/08/23, due to blood sugar of 219, - 06/12/23, due to blood sugar of 115, - 06/15/23, due to blood sugar of 182, - 06/17/23, due to unknown, - 06/21/23, due to blood sugar of 167, - 06/22/23, due to blood sugar of 170, and - 06/25/23, due to no insulin required. The clinical record lacked documentation the physician had been notified of the resident's Lantus not being administered. During an interview on 06/29/23 at 10:10 A.M., a facility Nurse Practitioner indicated once a resident received Lantus it should last about 12 hours. A resident's Lantus shouldn't be held since it was a long-acting insulin. If the staff were holding the resident's Lantus, then the physician should have been notified. During an interview on 06/29/23 at 10:16 A.M., the DON (Director of Nursing) indicated if a resident's Lantus didn't have hold parameters the medications should not have been held. If it was held due to nursing judgement the physician should be notified and staff should document the notification in the clinical record. The current, undated, facility policy titled, Change in a Resident's Condition or Status was provided by the DON on 06/30/23 at 2:03 P.M. The policy indicated, .The nurse will notify the resident's attending physician or physician on call when there has been a(an): .need to alter the resident's medical treatment .The nurse will record in the resident;s medical record information relative to changes in the resident;s medical/mental condition or status . 3.1-5(a)(3)

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident's wound treatments were administered appropriately and accurately assess for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. (Resident 6) Findings include: During an interview on 06/28/23 at 10:46 A.M., the FWN (Facility Wound Nurse) indicated Resident 6 had a wound on her right heel and a wound on her coccyx. The heel wound was identified in March. The coccyx wound was identified more recently. The resident was receiving hospice services, so she worked with hospice to manage and treat the resident's wounds. There was a lack of communication related to documentation between the facility and hospice regarding the resident's wounds. Resident 6's wounds were observed with the FWN on 06/29/23 at 9:35 A.M. The FWN removed the resident's sock on her right foot. An undated dressing was observed on the resident's heel. The skin around the wound was dry and flaky. The wound measured 4 cm (centimeters) x 4 cm. The wound was reddish purple, with a quarter sized area in the center that was blackish purple in color. The skin appeared to be hard. There was no drainage or odor. The FWN indicated the dressing was last changed by a hospice nurse. The FWN administered the treatment to the heel and then prepared to treat the wound on the resident's coccyx. The resident rolled over and the FWN adjusted the resident's clothing to expose the wound. The dressing on the resident's coccyx was undated as well. There was reddish brown drainage visible through the transparent portion of the dressing. The coccyx wound measured 4.3 cm x 4.8 cm, with a depth of 0.4 cm. The wound bed was dark red in color. There was no odor or signs of infection. The FWN indicated the wound was a Stage 3 (Full-thickness skin loss in which subcutaneous fat may be visible in the ulcer) pressure ulcer and the dressing was changed daily and as needed. Both dressings should have been dated and initialed. The resident's clinical record was reviewed on 06/28/23 at 2:22 P.M. A Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 03/28/23, indicated the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, cancer, hypertension, renal disease, non-Alzheimer's dementia, and malnutrition. The resident was on hospice. The resident was at risk for pressure ulcers but had no pressure injuries at the time of the assessment. The FWN provided the resident's wound assessments on 06/28/23 at 11:15 A.M. The documentation included Skin Observation Tool assessments from the resident's EHR (Electronic Health Record), the FWN's handwritten notes, and a document from the hospice provider that listed measurements of the resident's wounds. The documentation included, but were not limited to, the following: - A Skin Observation Tool, dated 05/23/23, indicated sites observed as the right heel and coccyx. No new areas noted was documented in the notes section of the assessment. - A Skin Observation Tool, dated 05/30/23, indicated sites observed as the right heel and coccyx. There was no further documentation on the assessment. - A handwritten note, dated 05/31/23, that listed the resident's name and a measurement of the wound on the resident's right heel. The wound measured 1.1 cm x 1.1 cm. - A Skin/Wound Progress Note, dated 06/01/2023, indicated the resident had a new area on their coccyx that measured 3 cm x 3 cm x 0.1 cm. A necrotic area was observed. A new MD order was obtained to cleanse the wound and apply Santyl (an ointment that removes dead skin from wounds). - A Skin Observation Tool, dated 06/07/23, indicated sites observed as the right heel and coccyx. There was no further documentation on the assessment. - A handwritten note, dated 06/09/23, that listed the resident's name and indicated the wound on the right heel measured 1.0 cm x 1.2 cm. The wound on the coccyx measured 5.4 cm x 6.5 cm x 2.6 cm. During an interview on 06/30/23 at 11:44 A.M., the FWN indicated she would normally document wound measurements, the wound bed description, a description of the skin around a wound, signs of infection, and any drainage from the wound as part of the weekly wound assessment in the resident's EHR. The current wound documentation lacked information about the wounds. She thought the coccyx wound would have been classified as an Unstageable (obscured full-thickness skin and tissue loss, full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because the wound bed is obscured by slough [moist dead tissue] or eschar [dry dead tissue]) wound when it was discovered. She would think it should have been discovered before it was unstageable. During an interview on 07/03/23 at 9:47 A.M., the resident's family member indicated she talked to the facility about dating the dressings on the resident's wounds because there was no date on the dressings when she was in the facility yesterday visiting with the resident. If the dressings weren't dated, staff wouldn't know when the dressings were last changed and if they still needed to be changed. The current facility policy, titled Skin and Wound Care Management Program, with an effective date of 04/12/23, was provided by the DON (Director of Nursing) on 06/30/23 at 2:35 P.M. The policy indicated, .the facility provides care and services consistent with professional standards of practice .weekly wound rounds are completed for residents with wounds. Rounds include wound assessment and measurements of wounds documented .as appropriate . The current facility policy, titled Dressings, Dry/Clean, with a revised date of September 2013, was provided by the DON on 07/03/23 at 9:21 A.M. The policy indicated, .label tape or dressing with date, time and initials .the following information should be recorded in the resident's medical record .or designated wound form .wound appearance, including wound bed, edges, presence of drainage .type of dressing used, and wound care given .all assessment data .wound bed color, size, drainage, etc . 3.1-40(a)(1) 3.1-40(a)(2)

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow a physician's order related to fluid restriction for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for dialysis. (Resident 43) Findings include: During an observation on 06/30/23 at 10:25 A.M., Resident 43 was out of her room. A large plastic cup was sitting on the overbed table and was full of clear fluid. The cup was undated. During an observation on 06/30/23 at 1:23 P.M., Resident 43 was sitting in her recliner holding a glass of clear liquids and taking drinks. There was a large plastic cup full of clear liquids, that was undated on the overbed table. The clinical record for the resident was reviewed on 06/28/23 at 1:31 P.M. A Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 05/23/23, indicated the resident was cognitively intact. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, anemia, hypertension, renal insufficiency, diabetes, anxiety, and dependence on renal dialysis. The resident received dialysis while a resident at the facility. An open-ended physician's order, dated 06/15/23, indicated the resident was on a fluid restriction of 1200 ml (milliliters) per day, 240 ml per meal and 160 ml per shift for medication pass. The June 2023 EMAR/ETAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record/Electronic Treatment Administration Record) lacked a documented amount of fluids in ml during each shift. The June records for Amount Eaten and Fluids consumed during meals lacked documentation of fluid intakes on the following dates and meal times: - 06/21/23 at breakfast or lunch, - 06/22/23 at breakfast or dinner, - 06/23/23 at breakfast and dinner, - 06/24/23 at dinner, - 06/25/23 at dinner, and - 06/29/23 at dinner. During an interview on 06/29/23 at 9:50 A.M., LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 3 indicated the resident was alert and oriented and went to dialysis three time a week. The resident would consume breakfast before she left for dialysis and would then eat lunch when she returned. She was able to take snacks with her. During an interview on 06/30/23 at 10:15 A.M., LPN 4 indicated if a resident was on a fluid restriction, she would check the order to see how much they could consume in a day. She would continue to check the resident throughout the day to see if they had consumed extra fluids. The total amount of fluids consumed throughout the day would be documented in the EMAR. During an interview on 06/30/23 at 1:24 P.M., CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) 5 indicated to determine if a resident was on a fluid restriction, she would be informed during report at the beginning of her shift or look on the resident's profile. She was aware the resident was on a fluid restriction. The kitchen would bring out the fluids on the meal tray and the nurse would give fluids with medication pass. She wouldn't pass ice water to the resident. If the resident refused to abide by the fluid restriction and wanted more to drink, she would alert the nurse. The current facility policy titled, Encouraging and Restricting Fluids with a revised date of October 2021, was provided by the DON (Director of Nursing) on 06/30/23 at 2:03 P.M. The policy indicated, .The purpose is to provide the resident with the amount of fluids necessary to maintain optimum health. This may include encouraging or restricting fluids .Record fluid intake .Documentation .The amount (in mLs) of fluids consumed by the resident during the shift .If the resident refused the treatment, the reason(s) why and the intervention taken . 3.1-37(a)

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow manufacturer's guidelines related to insulin pen usage for 1 of 6 residents observed for medication administration (Resident 49) and failed to follow physician's orders related to interventions for a resident with congestive heart failure for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for edema. (Resident 33) Findings include: 1. During an observation on 08/11/22 at 8:05 A.M., LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 2 prepared to administer medications to Resident 49. The LPN opened a new, unused Lantus (a long acting insulin) insulin pen and attached a needle to the pen. She held the pen sideways and indicated she was priming the pen, to expel any air bubbles. She continued to hold the pen sideways and dialed up 20 units of insulin. She entered the resident's room and administered the medication. LPN 2 did not cleanse the pen prior to attaching the needle and did not hold the pen upright when she primed the pen. During an observation on 08/11/22 at 8:25 A.M., LPN 2 gathered Resident 49's Novolog (a short acting insulin) insulin pen from the medication cart. LPN 2 attached a needle to the pen, held the pen sideways and primed the pen. She continued to hold the pen sideways and dialed up 30 units of insulin. LPN 2 did not cleanse the pen prior to attaching the needle and did not hold the pen upright when she primed the pen. During an interview on 08/11/22 at 8:28 A.M., LPN 2 indicated she would normally cleanse the top of an insulin pen with alcohol prior to attaching a needle. She did not hold the pens upright when she primed them. The LPN then detached the needle from Resident 49's Novolog pen, cleansed the top of the insulin pen with an alcohol swab, and attached a new needle. The LPN held the pen upright, primed the pen with 2 units of insulin, and dialed up 30 units of insulin to administer to the resident. The current, undated Lantus package insert was provided by the DON (Director of Nursing) on 08/11/22 at 2:55 P.M. The insert indicated, .ATTACH THE NEEDLE .wipe the pen tip (rubber seal) with an alcohol swab .PERFORM A SAFETY TEST .Dial a test dose of 2 units .Hold the pen with the needle pointing up and lightly tap the insulin reservoir so the air bubbles rise to the top of the needle. This will help you get the most accurate dose .Press the injection button all the way in and check to see that insulin comes out of the needle .Always perform the safety test before each injection . The current Novolog package insert, with a revised date of 03/2021, was provided by the DON on 08/12/22 at 11:45 A.M. The insert indicated, .Pull off the pen cap .wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab .To avoid injecting air and to ensure proper dosing .Turn the dose selector to select 2 units. Hold your insulin .Flex Pen with the needle pointing up. Tap the cartridge gently with your finger a few times to make any air bubbles collect at the top of the cartridge. Keep the needle pointing upwards, press the bottom all the way in .A drop of insulin should appear at the needle tip . The current facility policy, titled Insulin Administration, with a revised date of September 2014, was provided by the Administrator on 08/11/22 at 2:50 P.M. The policy indicated, .Disinfect the top of the vial with an alcohol wipe . 2. During an observation and interview on 08/08/22 at 2:05 P.M., Resident 33 was sitting in a chair in her room. Her left ankle was visible and swollen. She indicated she had worn those tight socks once and she was not going to wear them again. During an observation and interview on 08/10/22 at 1:45 P.M., the resident was sitting in a chair in her room. Both of her ankles were swollen and her short socks were making indentations on her ankles. She indicated she was taking a medication for the swelling in her legs, but they continued to swell. The resident was not wearing long compression stockings. During an observation on 08/11/22 at 10:50 A.M., the resident was sitting in her room in a recliner with her feet elevated. She was not wearing compression stockings. Both of her legs were visibly swollen. She was wearing shoes and socks and her socks were making indentations on her ankles. During an interview on 08/11/22 at 2:25 P.M., CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) 3 and CNA 4, indicated if a resident had refused to wear their compression stockings they would report to the nurse and the nurse would go and try to assist the resident with putting them on. The CNAs educated the residents on the need for the compression stockings. During an interview on 08/11/22 02:31 PM., LPN 2, indicated if a resident had refused to wear their compression stockings the CNAs would report it to the nurse. The nurse would re-approach and educate the resident. If the resident continued to refuse, they would notify the physician and see if they wanted to order something else or discontinue the order. If the physician was notified it would be documented in the progress notes. Sometimes the resident would allow putting the compression stockings on then took them off. The physician should have been notified of the resident's refusals. The clinical record was reviewed on 08/11/22 at 2:47 P.M A Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 08/01/22, indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Parkinson's Disease, congestive heart failure, and muscle wasting. A physician's order, with a start date of 10/08/21, was provided by LPN 2 on 08/11/22 at 3:03 P.M. The order indicated the resident was to wear compression stockings during the day and to remove them at bedtime. Staff were to assist the resident with putting them on in the morning. The progress notes for July and August 2022, were provided by LPN 2 on 08/11/22 at 3:03 P.M. The progress notes lacked documentation the physician had been notified of the resident's refusals to wear the compression stockings.
