Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Life Care Center Of Bridgeton during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident, who was cognitively intact and able to communicate, informed a CNA that another CNA had been physically abusive by twisting the resident's arm. The CNA did not observe any bruising and, doubting the claim, failed to report the allegation to supervisory staff as required by facility policy. This resulted in a delay in the facility's response and allowed the accused CNA to continue working until the administration was eventually notified.
A resident did not receive treatment and care in accordance with physician orders and their personal preferences and goals, as required by their care plan.
Two residents at risk for falls did not consistently have fall mats in place or their beds maintained in the lowest position when unattended, despite documented fall risk and facility policy. One resident's care plan did not initially include these interventions, and observations showed repeated lapses in implementing fall prevention measures. Staff interviews confirmed these interventions were expected but not always followed.
The facility did not designate a qualified director for food and nutrition services when a full-time consultant RD was not employed. The Dietary Director had the necessary qualifications but lacked documentation, and their certifications had expired, as confirmed by the Executive Director.
Facility staff failed to treat residents with dignity and respect, as evidenced by incidents where personal items were removed without permission, unprofessional communication occurred, and a CNA used a cell phone during meal assistance. These actions affected residents with varying cognitive and physical impairments, leading to distress and unmet care needs.
The facility failed to follow general accounting principles by not investigating outstanding checks during monthly resident trust fund reconciliations. The policy lacked guidance for follow-up on such checks, and staff were unaware of the need for routine follow-up. Outstanding checks dating back to 2020 were identified, with amounts ranging from $10.00 to $1,500.18.
A resident with quadriplegia and multiple sclerosis was not provided with an accessible call light adapted to their needs, as the push button call light was found on the floor and inaccessible. The resident's care plan did not document the need for a specialized call light, and staff were unaware of the resident's existing breath-activated call light, which was not in use. The facility's leadership acknowledged the oversight and emphasized the importance of ensuring all residents have access to a usable call light.
A resident with a complex medical history developed an elevated temperature, but the LPN on duty failed to document the temperature or notify the physician, contrary to facility policy. The resident was later diagnosed with sepsis and pneumonia after being sent to the hospital the next day. The DON confirmed the LPN should have documented and communicated the change in condition.
A resident in an LTC facility did not receive adequate ADL care, including hair washing, shaving, and foot care. The resident reported infrequent bed baths and unaddressed foot issues, with observations confirming poor hygiene and foot conditions. Staff interviews revealed a lack of communication and documentation, leading to unmet care needs.
A facility failed to obtain necessary labs and document a resident's change in condition, leading to inadequate care and communication between shifts. Another resident, dependent on feeding assistance, was not positioned correctly during meals, and staff used straws against physician orders, increasing aspiration risk.
A facility failed to provide proper pressure ulcer care and prevention for a resident with dermatitis on the coccyx/sacrum area. The resident had an open area that was not identified by staff, and no treatment order was obtained. The family applied Desitin and A&D ointment without a physician's order, and the facility did not ensure ongoing assessments or treatment orders. The open area was later identified as a stage 2 pressure ulcer.
A resident with anxiety and other medical conditions did not receive necessary behavioral health care in a LTC facility. The resident frequently expressed anxiety and dissatisfaction with care, including concerns about personal belongings being removed without permission and prolonged wait times for assistance. Despite recommendations for counseling services, these were delayed, and the resident's spiritual needs were not addressed. Staff responses to the resident's requests were inconsistent, contributing to the deficiency in care.
Facility staff failed to manage medications properly, leading to expired and improperly stored medications in two medication carts. Observations revealed expired Rena Vite tablets, undated bacitracin/polyophthalmic eye ointment, and improperly stored insulin pens. The LPN Coordinator confirmed the need for proper dating and storage, while the Administrator and DON expected adherence to policies.
The facility failed to maintain proper hand hygiene and food safety standards during meal service, affecting three residents. Staff were observed not sanitizing hands between tasks and using unsanitary methods to handle and serve food. Interviews confirmed these practices were against the facility's policies.
The facility failed to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) for residents with wounds, gastrostomy tubes, or tracheostomies. EBP signs were not consistently posted, and PPE was not always used by staff or family members during care. Interviews confirmed that EBP signs should be posted, and PPE should be used for residents meeting EBP criteria, but staff did not consistently follow procedures.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment eloped from a facility through an unsecured kitchen door, which was not locked or armed. The resident, who required substantial assistance for mobility, was found outside on the premises. Staff interviews revealed the door alarm may have been disabled from a previous delivery, and the dietary aide did not respond to the door click, assuming it was another employee.
A facility failed to uphold a resident's right to receive visitors by restricting a relative due to alleged erratic behavior without providing alternative visitation methods. The resident, who was cognitively intact but physically impaired, expressed a desire to see the relative. The facility did not document the restriction process or communicate it to the resident, despite acknowledging the need for such actions.
The facility failed to prevent abuse and neglect by continuing to employ a CNA listed on the Employee Disqualification List (EDL) for over three years. The CNA was hired before being added to the EDL and remained employed until the facility discovered the disqualification. The Administrator and AP/Payroll Coordinator were unaware of the need for routine post-hire background checks, leading to non-compliance with the facility's zero-tolerance policy on abuse and neglect.
Failure to Report Resident's Abuse Allegation as Required by Policy
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a certified nursing assistant (CNA) failed to follow the facility's abuse and neglect policy after a resident reported an allegation of physical abuse by another CNA. The resident, who was cognitively intact and able to communicate clearly, informed CNA K that CNA P had been mean and twisted the resident's right arm tightly, allegedly leaving a bruise. CNA K did not observe any visible bruising and, based on personal judgment and prior experience with CNA P, chose not to report the allegation to the charge nurse or any supervisory staff. The facility's policies require immediate reporting and investigation of any abuse allegations, regardless of the staff member's belief in the validity of the claim. However, CNA K disregarded this protocol, resulting in a delay in the facility's awareness and response to the alleged incident. During this period, CNA P continued to work and had access to residents, as the administration was not notified until later, at which point CNA P was suspended pending investigation. Interviews with other staff, including the LPN and the Administrator, confirmed that they were not made aware of the resident's allegation at the time it was reported to CNA K. The resident's care plan noted a history of being resistive to care and making false assumptions, but the facility's policy still required all allegations to be reported and investigated. The failure to report the allegation as required by policy constituted the deficiency identified by surveyors.
Failure to Provide Care According to Orders and Resident Preferences
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when appropriate treatment and care were not provided according to physician orders, as well as the resident’s preferences and goals. The report notes a failure to ensure that care was delivered in alignment with the established plan, which is required to meet the individual needs and wishes of the resident. This lapse resulted in the resident not receiving care as specified, but the report does not provide further details about the resident’s medical history, condition, or the specific nature of the care that was omitted or incorrectly provided.
Failure to Maintain Fall Prevention Interventions for Residents at Risk
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two residents at risk for falls had appropriate fall prevention interventions in place, specifically the use of fall mats and maintaining beds in the lowest possible position when residents were in bed and unattended. For one resident with a history of falls, moderate cognitive impairment, and significant physical assistance needs, observations revealed that fall mats were not consistently placed on the floor as required, and the bed was not always kept in the lowest position. The resident confirmed experiencing two falls since admission, one from the bed, and noted that the fall mats were only sometimes in place. Staff interviews corroborated that the mats should have been on the floor and the bed in the lowest position whenever the resident was unattended, but this was not consistently done. Additionally, the care plan for this resident did not initially include specific interventions such as the use of fall mats and keeping the bed in the lowest position, despite the resident's documented fall risk and previous falls. Progress notes indicated that after the resident's fall, staff documented the use of fall mats and bed positioning, but these interventions were not reflected in the care plan until after the deficiency was identified. Observations on multiple occasions showed the fall mats leaning against the wall and the bed elevated above the lowest setting while the resident was unattended. A second resident, also at risk for falls due to severe cognitive impairment and requiring substantial assistance, was observed with fall mats in place but with the bed not consistently maintained in the lowest position when unattended. Staff interviews confirmed the expectation that the bed should be kept in the lowest position for residents with fall mats, but this was not always followed. The care plan for this resident did include the use of fall mats and low bed positioning, but observations showed lapses in maintaining the bed at the lowest height. These failures were contrary to the facility's fall management policy and federal regulations requiring the environment to be free from accident hazards and for residents to receive adequate supervision and assistive devices to prevent accidents.
Deficiency in Food and Nutrition Services Staffing
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to designate a qualified individual to serve as the director of food and nutrition services, as required when a consultant Registered Dietician (RD) was not employed full-time. The facility's dietary manager job description mandates completion of an approved Certified Dietary Manager course and maintenance of active certification. During an interview, the Dietary Director confirmed having the necessary qualifications but lacked a physical copy of the documentation. Further, the Executive Director acknowledged that the Dietary Director's required certifications had expired, indicating a lapse in maintaining the necessary credentials for the role.
Dignity and Respect Deficiencies in Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility staff failed to treat residents with dignity and respect, as evidenced by several incidents involving multiple residents. One resident, who is cognitively intact and dependent on staff for showers, reported that personal items were removed from their room without permission while they were receiving a shower. This resident expressed anxiety and distress over the repeated removal of items, which had occurred multiple times over the past six months. Staff admitted to removing soiled linens and clothing without the resident's consent, citing the resident's hoarding behavior as a reason for discreetly removing items. In another incident, staff spoke to residents in an unprofessional manner. A resident who is cognitively intact and dependent on staff for toileting hygiene was told by a CNA that they should be happy to be alive, which was deemed inappropriate by other staff members. Additionally, a resident with moderate cognitive impairment and requiring maximum assistance for toilet hygiene was referred to as wearing a 'diaper' by a CNA, a term considered demeaning and inappropriate for adult residents. Furthermore, a resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses, including dementia and Parkinson's disease, was left unattended during meal time while a CNA used their personal cell phone. The CNA was observed texting on their phone instead of assisting the resident with their meal, which went untouched. This behavior was against the facility's cell phone policy, which prohibits cell phone use in resident care areas to ensure resident privacy and quality care.
Failure to Follow Up on Outstanding Resident Trust Fund Checks
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to general accounting principles by not following up on outstanding checks during monthly resident trust fund (RTF) reconciliations. The facility managed funds for 35 residents, with a total census of 89. The facility's Resident Trust Policy and Procedures, last reviewed on June 15, 2022, did not include guidance for follow-up on outstanding checks. A review of the facility's monthly RTF reconciliations from February 2024 through January 2025 revealed several outstanding checks dating back to September 2020, with amounts ranging from $10.00 to $1,500.18. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of awareness regarding the need to investigate outstanding checks. The Assistant Business Office Manager stated that she reconciles the RTF monthly and submits the reconciliations to the corporate office but was unaware of the need to follow up on outstanding checks. Similarly, the Regional Business Office Manager was not aware of the requirement for routine follow-up on these checks. The Executive Director expressed an expectation that general accounting principles should be followed by both the facility and the corporate business office.
Failure to Provide Accessible Call Light for Resident with Mobility Impairments
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accommodate the needs of a resident with significant mobility impairments, including quadriplegia and multiple sclerosis, by not providing an accessible call light adapted to the resident's needs. The resident was observed multiple times in bed with a push button call light on the floor behind the head of the bed, which was inaccessible due to the resident's inability to move his or her arms or legs. Interviews with the resident confirmed the lack of a usable call light, and staff were unaware of the resident's need for a specialized call light, such as a touchpad or breath-activated call light. The resident's care plan did not document the need for a specialized call light, and staff, including the Therapy Director and CNAs, were not aware of the resident's existing breath-activated call light, which was found coated with dust and not in use. The resident's family had previously opted against the breath-activated call light, and this decision was not documented in the medical record. The Director of Nurses and Executive Director acknowledged the oversight, emphasizing the expectation that all residents should have access to a call light they can use, and that such needs should be documented in the care plan.
Failure to Notify Physician of Elevated Temperature
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify a resident's physician after the resident developed an elevated temperature during the evening shift. The resident, who had a complex medical history including a tracheostomy, was later diagnosed with sepsis and pneumonia after being sent to the hospital the following morning. The facility's policy required immediate notification of the physician in such cases, but this was not adhered to. The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) on duty during the evening shift assessed the resident and noted an elevated temperature of 101°F. Despite this, the LPN did not document the temperature or the administration of Tylenol, nor did they notify the physician. The LPN was unsure of the exact temperature threshold for notifying the physician and was waiting for lab results, which contributed to the delay in communication. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the LPN should have documented the temperature and the administration of Tylenol, as well as contacted the physician. The resident's physician stated that had they been informed of the elevated temperature, they would have likely sent the resident to the hospital immediately, given the resident's complex condition. The lack of timely communication and documentation led to a delay in appropriate medical intervention for the resident.
Failure to Provide Adequate ADL and Foot Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to meet the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) care needs for a resident, identified as Resident #29, who was observed to have unclean hair, unshaved facial hair, and a body that was not clean and free from odors. The resident reported receiving only two bed baths a week, with staff not consistently washing their hair. The resident also mentioned spilling their urinal on themselves, contributing to a musky odor. Observations confirmed the resident's hair was oily and stringy, and there was a dark amber film on their skin, indicating inadequate hygiene care. Additionally, the facility did not provide necessary foot care for the resident, who had large chunks of dry skin, cracked skin, and thick, jagged toenails. The resident's feet were discolored, and they had not seen a podiatrist since arriving at the facility, despite expressing a desire for toenail care and dry skin treatment. The facility's foot care policy requires consistent care and documentation of any abnormal findings, which was not adhered to in this case. Interviews with facility staff, including CNAs, the Infection Preventionist, and the Director of Nursing, revealed expectations for regular hygiene care, including hair washing, shaving, and foot care, which were not met. The Social Services Director, responsible for scheduling podiatrist visits, was unaware of the resident's need for such care. The lack of communication and documentation contributed to the deficiency in providing adequate ADL and foot care for the resident.
Failure to Obtain Labs and Provide Proper Feeding Assistance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to obtain necessary laboratory tests and document a thorough assessment following a change in condition for a resident with a history of congestive heart failure and chronic respiratory failure. The resident was supposed to have a basic metabolic panel (BMP) drawn on a specific date, but the lab company missed the draw, and the test was not rescheduled before the resident's condition deteriorated. Additionally, there was a lack of documentation regarding the resident's change in condition, including vital signs and assessments, and inadequate communication between shifts about the resident's status. The resident experienced a significant change in condition, including shaking, rapid breathing, and low oxygen saturation levels. Despite these symptoms, there was no documentation of a discussion with the physician regarding a STAT chest x-ray ordered, and the resident's condition was not communicated effectively to the next shift. The resident's oxygen levels fluctuated, and the staff failed to monitor and adjust the oxygen as needed, leading to the resident's eventual expiration without appropriate intervention. Another resident, who was dependent on assistance for eating and had a history of dysphagia, was not provided feeding assistance in accordance with physician orders. The resident was observed being fed while not positioned at the recommended 90-degree angle, and staff used straws despite orders against it due to aspiration risk. The facility's staff did not follow the prescribed feeding precautions, and there was a lack of communication and understanding among staff regarding the resident's specific needs and orders.
Failure to Provide Proper Pressure Ulcer Care and Prevention
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper pressure ulcer care and prevention for a resident with a history of dermatitis on the coccyx/sacrum area. The resident was observed to have an open area on the morning of February 24, 2025, which was not identified by staff, and the physician was not notified until the following day. The facility's policy required weekly skin assessments by a licensed nurse and immediate reporting of any changes or open areas to the nurse, which did not occur in this case. The resident's care plan indicated a risk of pressure ulcers, but there was no treatment order for the dermatitis or the open area on the resident's buttocks/sacrum/coccyx. The resident's family was applying Desitin and A&D ointment without a physician's order, and the facility staff failed to obtain a treatment order for these applications. The resident's TAR for February showed no treatment orders for the affected area, and the facility's computer system did not prompt nurses to apply treatment without an order. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the area on the resident's coccyx had been red and excoriated for an extended period, and the family had requested the use of Desitin. However, the facility did not contact the physician to obtain an order for Desitin. The DON confirmed that there should have been ongoing assessments and a treatment order on the TAR. The open area was later identified as a stage 2 pressure ulcer, and the facility's failure to follow its policies and procedures contributed to the deficiency.
Failure to Provide Adequate Behavioral Health Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary behavioral health care and services to a resident with anxiety, cognitive communication deficit, and other medical conditions. The resident frequently expressed anxiety and dissatisfaction with the care provided, including concerns about personal belongings being removed without permission, prolonged wait times for care, and lack of communication about daily care routines. Despite the resident's expressed need for counseling services, these were not arranged, and the facility's grievance log showed no grievances filed by the resident, indicating a lack of formal documentation of the resident's concerns. Observations and interviews revealed that the resident often used the call light for assistance, but staff responses were inconsistent, with some staff members ignoring the resident's requests or responding inappropriately. The resident reported feeling anxious and neglected, particularly when staff removed items from the room without consent or failed to inform the resident about care schedules. The resident's spiritual needs were also not adequately addressed, as no chaplain services were offered despite the resident's expressed Christian values. Interviews with staff, including CNAs, LPNs, and the SSD, highlighted a lack of coordinated behavioral management and communication regarding the resident's care needs. The Psychiatry NP had recommended counseling services for the resident, but these were delayed due to corporate processes. The facility's administration acknowledged the resident's frequent calls and anxiety but did not consistently document or address the resident's behavioral health needs, contributing to the deficiency in care.
Medication Management Deficiencies in Facility
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to properly manage and store medications, leading to several deficiencies in medication handling. During an observation of the South 1 medication cart, it was found that an opened stock bottle of Rena Vite tablets had expired, and a tube of bacitracin/polyophthalmic eye ointment lacked an opening date, making it impossible to determine when it should be discarded. Additionally, a bottle of liquid docusate sodium had no expiration date, and a bottle of folic acid was expired. An unopened glargine insulin pen was improperly stored in the medication cart instead of the refrigerator. Similarly, the South 2 medication cart contained an opened bottle of prednisolone AC 1% ophthalmic eye drops without an opening date, and an unopened aspart insulin pen was not stored in the refrigerator. A stock bottle of boric acid vaginal suppositories also lacked an expiration date. The LPN Coordinator confirmed that medications without expiration dates or those that were expired should be removed from the cart. The facility's Administrator and Director of Nurses expected adherence to policies regarding medication storage and expiration management.
Failure in Hand Hygiene and Food Safety Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene and food safety standards during meal service, affecting three residents. Observations revealed that a Restorative Aide (RA) and a Certified Nurses Aide (CNA) did not perform hand hygiene before and after resident contact or after touching objects and surfaces in the dining room. The RA was observed handling a resident's wheelchair and feeding utensils without sanitizing hands, while the CNA was seen using a mobile phone, touching personal items, and then handling residents' food and utensils without washing hands. The report highlights specific instances where the CNA engaged in unsanitary practices, such as texting on a phone, wiping their forehead, and then handling residents' food and drinks without sanitizing hands. The CNA also blew on residents' food to cool it down and used ungloved hands to pick up food and feed residents, which is against professional food safety standards. These actions were observed during lunch service in the main dining room, affecting residents with severe cognitive impairments and other medical conditions such as dementia, diabetes, and muscle weakness. Interviews with staff, including another CNA, the Dietary Director, and the Executive Director, confirmed that the observed practices were inappropriate and not in line with the facility's hand hygiene policy. The staff acknowledged that hand hygiene should be performed before entering the dining room, after touching residents or objects, and between assisting different residents. They also confirmed that it is not appropriate to blow on food or use hands to handle food directly, as these actions pose a risk of contamination.
Failure to Implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) as recommended by the CDC and required by CMS for three residents with wounds, gastrostomy tubes, or tracheostomies. The facility's EBP policy mandates the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact resident care activities for residents with MDROs, wounds, or indwelling medical devices. However, observations revealed that EBP signs were not consistently posted on residents' doors, and personal protective equipment (PPE) was not always used by staff or family members during care. Resident #26, who has a tracheostomy tube and a g-tube, was observed without an EBP sign on the door, and the family member providing care did not wear a gown. The family member was not educated about the EBP policy, and the waste can for PPE disposal was not placed near the exit as required. Similarly, Resident #29, with leg wounds, did not have an EBP sign on the door, and staff entered the room and provided care without wearing gowns. Resident #45, who has a g-tube, had an EBP sign posted, but staff did not wear gowns during care, exposing the resident's abdomen and g-tube. Interviews with the facility's Infection Preventionist, Administrator, and Director of Nursing confirmed that EBP signs should be posted, and PPE should be used for residents meeting EBP criteria. However, there was a lack of documentation showing that family members were educated on the EBP policy, and staff did not consistently follow the facility's EBP procedures, leading to the deficiency.
Resident Elopement Due to Unsecured Kitchen Door
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a kitchen exit door was locked and armed, leading to the elopement of a resident. The incident occurred during the early morning hours when a resident, who was not initially assessed as an elopement risk, left the facility through the kitchen door. The resident was found approximately 30 feet from the exit door on the facility's premises. The kitchen door was not locked and armed, which allowed the resident to exit the building unnoticed by staff. The resident involved in the incident had severe cognitive impairment and required substantial assistance for mobility, using a walker and wheelchair. Despite these needs, the resident managed to leave the facility without supervision. The resident's care plan had been updated to reflect a risk for elopement due to disorientation and impaired safety awareness, but the elopement assessment conducted upon admission did not identify the resident as an elopement risk. Interviews with staff revealed that the kitchen door alarm may have been disabled from a previous delivery, and staff did not hear or respond to the door alarm when the resident exited. The dietary aide working at the time heard the door click but did not investigate further, assuming it was another employee. The facility's investigation determined that the resident had walked down the hall and exited through the kitchen door, which was not secured, leading to the resident being found outside in cold weather conditions.
Facility Fails to Uphold Resident's Visitation Rights
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to uphold a resident's right to receive visitors of their choosing, as outlined in their policy and federal regulations. The deficiency occurred when the facility restricted a resident's relative from visiting due to allegations of unruly and erratic behavior. Despite the facility's policy requiring immediate access for family members and the provision of alternative visitation methods, such as video teleconferencing, no such accommodations were documented or offered to the resident. The resident in question was cognitively intact but had significant physical impairments, including total dependence on staff for mobility and personal care, and suffered from conditions such as expressive aphasia, stroke, and depression. The facility's records did not document any incidents of aggression by the relative towards staff, nor did they provide any court orders justifying the restriction. The resident expressed a desire to see the relative, indicating sadness over the lack of visits. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the relative was barred due to a history of stalking behavior and an incident where they were found under another resident's bed. However, the facility did not document the process of barring the relative or communicate this to the resident. The facility's leadership acknowledged the need for proper documentation and communication regarding such restrictions, but these actions were not taken in this case.
Failure to Implement Routine Background Checks
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and misappropriation of resident property by continuing to employ a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) who was listed on the Employee Disqualification List (EDL). The CNA was hired on 12/17/14 and was added to the EDL on 8/13/20, indicating ineligibility to work in a certified long-term care facility. Despite this, the CNA remained employed until 1/12/24, when the facility discovered the CNA's disqualification and terminated their employment. The facility's failure to conduct routine post-hire background checks allowed the CNA to work for over three years while being ineligible, compromising resident safety and welfare. The Administrator and AP/Payroll Coordinator were unaware of the requirement to perform routine background checks post-hire. The Administrator was notified of the deficiency on 1/12/24 and subsequently removed the CNA from the schedule. An audit of all current employees' background checks was completed, revealing the oversight. The facility's policy, reviewed on 11/27/23, emphasized a zero-tolerance approach to abuse and neglect, yet the lack of routine screenings led to non-compliance with these standards. The deficiency was identified during an interview and record review conducted on 2/20/24.
