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 develop and implement a care plan (a plan of care that summarizes a resident's health conditions, specific care needs, and current treatments) for one of three residents (Resident 2's) right hand swelling noted on 1/5/25. This failure had the potential to negatively affect the delivery of care and services. Findings: During a review of Resident 2's admission Record dated 1/14/25, it was indicated that Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), muscle weakness, hypertension (high blood pressure), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), abnormal posture, and Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P), dated 7/19/24 indicated the patient did not have the capacity (ability) to consent, the reason being dementia. During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS-an assessment tool) dated 10/21/24 indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (mental action of understanding, reasoning, thinking, judgment, thought) and required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for eating, oral hygiene, and upper body dressing and bed mobility and required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for bed mobility, toileting, bathing/showering, lower body dressing, personal hygiene, and sit to stand. During a review of Resident 2's SBAR (Situation Background Assessment Recommendation) Communication Form and progress note dated 1/5/25 indicated Resident 2 had a change in condition of right-hand edema (swelling). During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/14/15 at 4:45 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 2's care plans were reviewed. DON verified there was no care plan for the problem of right-hand edema in the resident's record and stated every problem had to have a care plan. During a review of the facility policy and procedures, Care Planning - Interdisciplinary Team reviewed 6/18/24, indicated the care plan is based on the resident's comprehensive assessment and is developed by a care planning/interdisciplinary team.
