During an interview on 11/14/2025 at 2:20 PM, Staff D, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated they entered Resident 1's daily weight in the MAR and watched for a two pound or greater increase.

They stated Resident 1's weight never went about two pounds in a day and the as needed furosemide was not given.

When Staff D reviewed the furosemide order, they stated they were not aware the order also referred to the presence of leg swelling as an indication to give the as needed diuretic medication.

They stated they had not specifically assessed or documented the presence or absence of Resident 1's leg/ankle/foot swelling during their stay.

During an interview on 11/14/2025 at 2:35 PM, Staff E, RN, stated they were the nurse present when Resident 1 was transferred to the hospital on [DATE].

They stated they were aware RR1 had concerns about Resident 1's weight gain during their stay; however, they did not recall RR1 having concerns about any specific edema or swelling to Resident 1's legs.
