F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to create a care plan for two of four sample residents (Resident 30 and 40) related to Resident 30 and 40 being smokers.This deficient practice places Resident 30 and 40 at risk for injuries or accidents related to smoking.Findings:a. During a review of Resident 30's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 30 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection).
