**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive care plan was developed for one
of one resident reviewed for tobacco use (Resident 1) following her re-admission to the facility, despite a
documented history of marijuana use. This failure had the potential to place the resident at risk for adverse
health effects related to medical diagnoses, unsafe use or storage of marijuana, and smoke-related safety
hazards. Findings:On June 10, 2025, Resident 1's admission record was reviewed. Resident 1 was initially
admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses which included heart failure (when the heart
doesn't pump blood effectively), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung disease) and nicotine
dependence (smoker). Resident 1 had a history of marijuana use while in the facility.A review of Resident
1's History and Physical, dated June 22, 2025, indicated Resident 1 had the capacity to understand and
make decisions.A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool), dated June 24,
2025, indicated Resident 1 had Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS - a tool to assess cognitive function
of an individual) score of 15 (intact cognitive response).A review of Resident 1's previous Short Term Goals
care plans, dated October 31, 2024, indicated resident had a positive test for THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol
ingredient in marijuana).A further review of Resident 1's care plan indicated no interventions addressing
marijuana use being identified in the admission history. On July 10, 2025, at 11:06 a.m., a concurrent
observation and interview was conducted with Resident 1. Resident 1 was sitting in her wheelchair in her
room and was receiving 2L (liters) of oxygen via nasal canula (tubing that delivers oxygen into nostril).
Resident 1 stated she was a smoker and did not need supervision. Resident 1 stated she needed oxygen
sometimes because she had difficulty breathing. On July 10, 2025, at 2:12 p.m., a concurrent interview and
record review of Resident 1's care plans were conducted with the Registered Nurse (RN). The RN stated
Resident 1 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] and should have new set of care plans developed for
her specific needs and should be available in her records. The RN stated Resident 1 was a smoker and had
previous history of testing positive for THC. The RN verified and stated there was no smoking care plan
available in Resident 1's current records. The RN stated Resident 1 should have a care plan to ensure she
remained safe and was not continuing to smoke marijuana to prevent any health risks due to her health
history.On July 10, 2025, at 3:35 p.m., a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 1's care plans
were conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated she was responsible for conducting
assessments and developing care plans for residents. The DON stated for newly or re-admitted residents, a
set of new care plans should be implemented to address their conditions and specific needs. The DON
stated Resident 1 was sent out to the hospital and returned back to facility on June 17, 2025. The DON
verified and stated Resident 1 did not have a smoking care plan in her current records. The DON stated
Resident 1 was a smoker and had previously tested positive for THC. The DON stated, Resident 1 should
have a smoking care plan to avoid
