Summary
The facility failed to update and document care plans to accurately reflect the isolation needs of four residents who had active physician orders for contact or contact and droplet isolation precautions. Record reviews showed that, despite these orders, the care plans for each of these residents did not include information or planning related to their isolation requirements during their stay. The Director of Nursing confirmed that care plans should be updated to reflect isolation status when applicable. Facility policy also requires that care plans be revised as changes in a resident's condition dictate, including the need for isolation precautions.
