developed when Resident 1 had poor meal intake.

Furthermore, RN 1 stated the negative outcome would cause Resident 1's condition to decline because he was not consuming the appropriate nutrients. On 10/10/25 at 1100 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review were conducted with CNA 1.

CNA 1 verified Resident 1's poor meal intakes dated 9/13 to 9/17/25. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 became weaker, refused to participate with activities, and refused to get up in wheelchair after four to five days of admission. CNA 1 stated she reported Resident 1's change of condition including the significant decrease in meal intake to the charge nurses.

LVN 2 was asked what she would consider a change of condition, and stated fever, abnormal labs, decline in activities of daily living (ADL), new pain or increase pain, ALOC (altered level of consciousness), abnormal vital signs blood pressure below100/60 mmHg or pulse rate below 60 bpm or above 90 bpm, and refusal of meals or below 25% meal consumption. LVN 2 stated the assigned licensed nurse must assess the resident, complete the change of condition evaluation, notify the physician, notify responsible party or family, initiate a care plan, add to the alert charting, and document the monitoring every shift for 72 hours.

Furthermore, LVN 2 stated the negative outcome would be not being able to provide the appropriate quality care and monitoring for the resident's change of condition and resident's condition could become worse. On 10/10/25 at 1536 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON.

The DON stated abnormal vital signs were not a significant change and not considered a COC (Change of Condition).

The DON stated she did not expect her licensed nurses to do a follow up entry when there are abnormal vital signs and after providing interventions to reflect resident's current condition.

The DON was asked how she would know when the resident's abnormal vital signs (pulse rate) improve if there were no follow up assessments and documentation of the outcome, the DON stated the nurses cannot document every hour since they had a lot of residents.

The DON stated she considered a significant COC if the resident's meal intake was 0 - 25% consecutively with refusal for three to four days.

The DON was informed and acknowledged the above findings.
