Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the daily nurse staffing postings included the total number and actual hours worked by RNs, LPNs, and CNAs for each shift. During the review of daily staff postings over a one-month period, it was found that while staff names, positions, and individual hours worked were documented, the postings did not display the total hours worked for each category of nursing staff. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the administrator, who acknowledged that the required total hours for each staff category were not included in the daily postings. The facility census at the time was 69 residents. No specific resident medical history or condition was mentioned in relation to this deficiency.
