something changes during the look back period the staff person would need to go into the MDS and make
the changes. Since Resident #1 had been exiting seeking the MDS should have been marked as a yes to wandering. The MDS Nurse was unsure why the Social Worker Manager did not make this change. Also since there was documentation of Resident #1 being both verbal and physically agitated towards staff and other residents during the look back period the Social Worker Manager should have reflected that by answering yes. The MDS Nurse did not know why the Social Worker Manager did not go back and make changes to the MDS. The MDS Nurse stated that she would make changes to the MDS by marking yes for
the wanderguard and for both verbal and physical behaviors.On 11/7/25 at 10:53 AM there was an
interview held with the Administrator. She stated she had been ill during the time of the MDS assessment for Resident #1 and felt if she had been at the facility the MDS would have been completed correctly because she would have reviewed the MDS.
