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

Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.

4. 04

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