A review of Resident 76's, CP report, did not indicate, a care plan was initiated to manage the resident's ineffective cough, which could have included other appropriate goals and other care interventions aside from suctioning. The ADON verified the finding and acknowledged that a comprehensive care plan should have been initiated specific to Resident 76's respiratory care needs. 2. During a review of Resident 45's, Face Sheet (FS), dated 4/6/18, the FS indicated in part, Resident 45 is a [AGE] year-old male, who was admitted in the facility on 4/6/18.
