Summary
The facility failed to follow physician orders regarding showers for one resident who was unable to perform activities of daily living independently. Clinical record review showed that the resident was scheduled to receive a shower every Monday evening shift and as needed. Documentation indicated that the resident received showers on three occasions within the review period and refused a shower on one occasion. However, there was no documentation of any showers provided after a specific date, despite staff interviews indicating that the resident had received a shower since then. The Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no documentation to support that the resident had received a shower after the last recorded date.
