Plan goal indicated to monitor, and document observed behavior and attempted interventions in behavior
logs. During a review of Resident 1's Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (SBAR)
Communication Form and Progress Note, dated 12/21/2025, the SBAR indicated Resident 1 was agitated
