This failure placed the facility ' s 63 residents at risk for harm and injury when a gun and ammunition were found in Resident 1's room. Findings: During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record, printed 11/11/24, the record indicated Resident 1 was admitted [DATE] with multiple diagnosis including a primary diagnosis of paraplegia, complete (the loss of muscle function in the lower part of the body including both legs). During a review of Resident 1 ' s Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, is a scoring system used to determine the resident ' s cognitive status in regard to attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall information. A BIMS score of thirteen to fifteen is an indication of intact cognitive status.), dated 9/7/24, the record indicated Resident 1 ' s BIMS score was 15.
