directives will be respected in accordance with state law and facility policy . 7. Information about whether or
not the resident has executed an advance directive shall be displayed prominently in the medical record .

optometrist based on the MDS (Minimum Data Set- a comprehensive assessment screening tool) and the
last time a resident was seen. SSA stated, Resident 51 had not been seen by the optometrist. SSA stated,
