Summary
The facility failed to update the care plan for a resident who was admitted with multiple diagnoses, including COPD, oxygen dependence, diabetes, dementia, depression, and a cognitive communication deficit. Although a physician's order for continuous oxygen therapy was discontinued, the resident's care plan continued to document oxygen dependence and did not reflect the change in treatment. This oversight was confirmed through record review and staff interview, where it was acknowledged that the care plan should have been updated when the oxygen order was discontinued.
