Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.

2. 02

   What changed after F912 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation F912: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level B.

3. 03

5. 05

   How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?
