During an interview on 2/19/25 at 5:57 pm with the DON, the DON stated it was important to document details of what happened to the resident and what was done for the resident in the resident's clinical record because it provided the reader information regarding how incidents happened and how to prevent them. The DON stated documentation could also assist to develop the resident's care plan, to come up with the proper interventions, and to assess if staff training/education was needed. The DON stated licensed nurses must transcribe the physician's orders to the resident's clinical record and to the MAR and TAR, to show that the order(s) was/were implemented.

F 0842 Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 34273
Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the clinical record for 3 of 6 sampled residents (Residents 2, 3, and 4) was complete and accurate when:
1. Resident 2's clinical record did not indicate how Resident 2 scratched Resident 2's right leg and sustained
a right leg wound on 1/23/25.
2. Resident 2's treatment order, dated 1/23/25, for Resident 2's right leg wound was not transcribed (put into written or printed form) in Resident 2's clinical record until 1/24/25 and was not transcribed in Resident 2's Treatment Administration Record (TAR).
3. Resident 3's clinical record did not indicate where Resident 3's tooth extraction was performed on 12/9/24.
4. There was no documented evidence in Resident 4's clinical record to indicate Resident 4 had teeth extraction at the bedside on 1/23/25.
5. There was no documented evidence in Resident 4's clinical record to indicate Resident 4 was monitored each shift for 72 hours after teeth extraction and that Resident 4's family was informed Resident 4 had teeth extraction.
6. Resident 4's physician's order, dated 1/23/25, indicated a treatment order for an excoriation (a scrape or scratch to the skin) instead of tooth/teeth extraction (a dental procedure that involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone).
These failures had the potential for Resident 2, Resident 3, and Resident 4 to receive inappropriate care, and for Resident 2's, Resident 3's, and Resident 4's care to not be accurately evaluated for procedural and guidelines compliance, and the need for staff education and training to be evaluated.
