ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT
COMES NOW, Petitioner, Department of Health, by and through its
undersigned counsel, and files this Administrative Complaint before the
Board of Nursing against Respondent, Issianie Anestal, C.N.A., and in
support thereof alleges:
1. Petitioner is the state agency charged with regulating the
practice of nursing assistance pursuant to Section 20.43, Florida Statutes;
Chapter 456, Florida Statutes; and Chapter 464, Florida Statutes.
2. At all times material to this Administrative Complaint,
Respondent was a certified nursing assistant (C.N.A.) within the state of
Florida, having been issued license number CNA 32385.
3. Respondent's address of record is 145 Manor Boulevard,
Apartment 508, Naples, Florida 34104.
4. At all times material to this Administrative Complaint,
Respondent was an employee at The Renaissance at the Terrace (TRT), in
Bonita Springs, Florida.
5. Onor about January 3, 2019, at approximately 1:40 pm, R.M., a
then-seventy-nine-year-old male, was admitted to TRT from a local hospital
for rehabilitation after a hospitalization for pneumonia.
6. On arrival at TRT, R.M. was placed in a recliner in his room
wearing a hospital gown and incontinence briefs from the hospital.
7. On or about January 3-4, 2019, Patient R.M. needed assistance
in ambulation and with activities of daily living.
8. ~ Onor about January 3-4, 2019, Respondent was assigned to care
for patient R.M. during an eight-hour shift from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 am.
9. Respondent failed to provide care to patient R.M. during her
assigned shift on January 3-4, 2019, by failing to change R.M.’s brief or assist
R.M. in transferring from the recliner to the bed, leaving him in the same
position in the recliner the entire shift.

Case Number 2019-04311
10. On or about January 4, 2019, R.M.’s wife came to the TRT and
found R.M. still in the recliner which was saturated in urine and that the bed
was unused since his admission the previous day.
11. Respondent gave inconsistent responses when questioned
saying first that she did not know there was a patient in R.M.’s room because
no one told her of a new admission, then saying that she and another C.N.A.
changed R.M.’s brief at midnight and again between 4:00 am and 5:00 am.
12. Because R.M. was wearing a brand of briefs not stocked at the
TRT, the F.M., RN, Director of Nursing (DON) determined that his brief had
not been changed since arrival from the hospital the previous day.
13. Respondent also stated that she assisted R.M. into bed at
midnight January 4, 2019.
14. F.M., RN., DON determined that R.M.’s bed had not been used
overnight. |

intentionally violating any provision of Chapter 464, Chapter 456, or the rules
adopted by the board, constitutes grounds for disciplinary sanctions.
16. Section 456.072(1)(a) Florida Statutes (2018), provides that
making misleading, deceptive or fraudulent representations in or related to
Department of Health v. Issianie Anestal, C.N.A. 3
Case Number 2019-04311
the practice of the licensee’s profession constitutes grounds for which the
board may impose disciplinary sanctions.
17. On or about January 3-4, 2019, Respondent made misleading,
deceptive or fraudulent representations when she reported first that she did
not know there was a patient in R.M.’s room during her shift, then, that she
had changed R.M.’s briefs during her shift and placed him in bed, when R.M.
was discovered at 8:00 am January 4, 2019, still sitting in the recliner, which
was saturated in urine, in which he was placed on admission on or about
January 3, 2019 at approximately 1:40 pm. R.M.’s bed had not been used.
18. Based on the foregoing, Respondent violated Section
464.204(1)(b), Florida Statutes (2018), by intentionally violating Section
456.072(1)(a) Florida Statutes (2018), making misleading, deceptive or
fraudulent representations in or related to the practice of the licensee's
profession.
