Inspection Findings
struck out because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to document it on Resident 1 or Resident 2's chart. My plan was to go back and document it on Resident 2's chart since Resident 2 was the victim, but it slipped my mind. Resident 1 was in the wheelchair (w/c) when this happened, I am the one who wheeled Resident 1 out of the room.
After this we notified the police, and they came and gave both residents an order to stay 25 feet away from each other. I was the charge nurse on 8/11/2025 and I informed the nurses the two residents had a verbal altercation the day before, so they were aware.A record review of Resident 1's Nursing progress note dated 8/10/2025 timed at 3:57 p.m. indicated frequent visual checks to prevent another altercation occurring throughout shift.A record review of Resident 1's Nursing progress note dated 8/11/2025 timed 12:41 a.m. indicated resident was sleeping. No further documentation found indicating monitoring of resident 1.During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/27/2025 at 3:10 p.m. with the director of Nursing (DON). Resident 1's electronic medical record was accessed. No specific record was reviewed.
The DON was unable to show a care plan with interventions to prevent another incident after Resident 2 moved to another room.
