Resident Assessment and Care Planning Deficiencies

Review of Resident 90's MAR for 1/1 – [DATE] showed the following:

- Resident 90's blood pressure was 122/80 mmHg on [DATE] at 0900 hours; and - Resident 90's pulse was 94 beats per minute on [DATE] at 0900 hours.

Review of Resident 90's Discharge Summary and Post-Discharge Plan of Care dated [DATE], showed the resident's pain level was zero on [DATE] at 2304 hours.

Review of Resident 90's Discharge Note dated [DATE] at 1521 hours, showed the resident was discharged with a family member with stable vital signs.

However, further review of Resident 90's medical record failed to show a measurement of the resident's vital signs prior discharge, to indicate resident's medical status measurement at the time of discharge.

On [DATE] at 1338 hours, an interview and concurrent closed medical record review for Resident 90 was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 verified Resident 90's vital signs measurements from the Weights and Vital Signs Summary, and Resident 90's MAR for 1/1 – [DATE] as listed above. RN 1 stated Resident 90's vital signs should have been obtained at the time of the resident's discharge, to assess if the resident was stable.

On [DATE] at 0919 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON.

The DON stated the expectation was for the licensed nurses to obtain the resident's vital sign measurements just prior to the time of the resident's discharge.

On [DATE] at 1005 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON.

The Administrator and DON were informed and acknowledged the findings as above.
