Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Registered Nurse (RN) was on duty for 8 consecutive hours on two separate days during a 14-day staffing review period. Review of staffing records and RN time sheets showed that on the specified dates, the RN coverage was 7.87 hours and 5.42 hours, respectively, both falling short of the required 8 consecutive hours. Interviews with the Labor Coordinator confirmed that no other RN worked on those days and there were no call-offs, indicating a scheduling error. The Nursing Home Administrator verified the deficiency in RN coverage for those days.
