Resident 1 ' s diagnoses included cerebral infarction (a stroke, specifically the death of brain tissue due to a lack of blood flow), bipolar disorder (a mental health condition characterized by significant and persistent mood swings), and aphasia (a language disorder that affects a person ' s ability to communicate).

Findings: During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record, the admission Record indicated, Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 1 ' s diagnoses included cerebral infarction (a stroke, specifically the death of brain tissue due to a lack of blood flow), bipolar disorder (a mental health condition characterized by significant and persistent mood swings), and aphasia (a language disorder that affects a person ' s ability to communicate).

The DSD stated Resident 1 ' s UA was not done. The DSD stated the reason for the UA was because Resident 1 had shown signs of aggressive behavior and was confused, which could be a sign of a UTI. The DSD stated it was important the UA was done to check if Resident 1 had an infection and would need treatment. The DSD if the resident had UTI, it had the potential for the resident to become more aggressive and more confused. During a review of facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Significant Change of Condition, Response, dated 12/2023, the P&P indicated the facility must ensure each resident receives quality of care and services to attain and maintain the highest practicable physical mental and psychosocial well-being.
