Findings include: Review of the facility policy Comprehensive Care Plan Completion dated 8/31/22, indicated the facility will develop a comprehensive plan of care for each resident, and that each triggered Care Assessment Area (CAA) must be assessed to facilitate care plan decision making. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - periodic assessment of care needs) dated 6/5/23, included diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder (a mental disorder in which a person experiences a combination of schizophrenia and mood disorder symptoms), bipolar disorder (a mental condition marked by alternating periods of elation and depression), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. Review of Resident R9's care plan, updated 2/21/23, did not identify Resident R9's PTSD diagnosis, symptoms or triggers related to this diagnosis and resident specific interventions to meet the resident's needs for minimizing triggers and/or re-traumatization. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R35 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the MDS dated [DATE], indicated diagnoses of pneumonia (severe inflammation of the lungs from an infection), bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of the tubes that carry air to and from the lungs), and respiratory failure (a serious condition where the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood). Observation and interview of Resident R35 on 6/14/23, revealed the resident was receiving oxygen at three liters per minute via a nasal cannula (an oxygen delivery device consisting of a lightweight tube which on one end splits into two prongs which are placed in the nostrils). Review of Resident R35's care plan last reviewed 5/30/23, failed to include a plan of care related to the use of oxygen therapy.
