She was unable to determine if the prior shift shared that in report or not as they claimed to tell the next shift and the staff on 11/08/25 dayshift denied getting it in report. DON expected them to start every 15-minute checks at that point.
Wanderguards were moved to residents' wrist if it was on ankle.
Orders were changed on Monday to check the wanderguard bracelet every Monday.
