received prior to exit. In an interview on 09/17/25 at 11:40 AM, LVN B stated he prepped Resident #1 for dialysis on 08/13/25. He stated he took her to the transportation person and sent her dialysis folder with her. LVN B stated he checked all of her vitals before she left, and all were within the appropriate range. In
an interview with the Director of Clinical Services and the ADON on 09/17/25 at 2:09 PM, The Director of Clinical Services stated he reviewed Resident #1's electronic record and did not locate documentation of Resident #1's blood pressure reading from 08/13/25. The ADON stated it could have been a coincidence that the blood pressure reading from 08/12/25 was the same reading for 08/13/25, and that LVN B probably just documented the wrong date for the blood pressure reading of 102/65.
