His diagnoses included acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (a serious condition where the lungs fail to adequately oxygenate the blood, leading to low blood oxygen levels), diabetes (a group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood), atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery (coronary artery disease) (heart disease involving the reduction of blood flow to the cardiac muscle due to a buildup of atheromatous plaque in the arteries of the heart), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (a lung disease characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation). Record Review of Resident #22's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected Resident #22 was independent for eating, required partial or moderate assistance for toileting, required supervision or touching assistance for bathing, and was dependent on staff for personal hygiene. The MDS reflected Resident #22' had a BIMS score of 08 which indicated Resident #22 was moderately cognitively impaired. Record review of Resident #22's care plan dated 03/18/25 reflected: Resident was at risk for falling R/T Chronic pain syndrome. Goal: Resident #22 would remain free from injury.
