Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a registered nurse (RN) was on duty for at least 8 hours per day, 7 days a week, as required. Review of the Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) for the specified quarter revealed that there was no RN coverage on several specific dates, including multiple Saturdays and Sundays. This was confirmed during an interview with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON), who acknowledged the absence of RN coverage during these periods. No additional details regarding specific residents, their medical history, or their condition at the time of the deficiency were provided in the report.
