A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS-an assessment tool), dated 3/3/25, indicated Resident 1: - had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS-an assessment tool) score of 11, which indicated moderate cognitive (relating to processes of thinking and reasoning) impairment, - had no signs and symptoms of delirium (a disturbed state of mind characterized by symptoms such as confusion, disorientation, agitation, and hallucinations (a mental state in which a person's senses makes them believe a situation is real but it is not), - required substantial assistance (the helper does more than half the effort) from staff to shower/bathe.
