Summary
A licensed nurse did not complete the required two-hour abuse training within the designated calendar year, as evidenced by attendance at only a one-hour classroom session. This was confirmed through interviews and record reviews with facility staff, including the Senior Specialist and Staffing Manager, who acknowledged the missing hour of training. The facility's policy mandates semi-annual abuse training sessions for nursing personnel, but there was no documentation indicating that the nurse completed the full requirement. The failure to ensure completion of the mandated abuse training had the potential to affect the care and treatment of residents.
