Summary
The facility failed to accurately complete a smoking assessment for one resident. During a review of the resident's electronic health record, it was found that a smoking assessment had been conducted, but the final question regarding whether the resident was allowed to smoke independently, with assistance, or not at all was left unanswered. This omission resulted in no determination being made about the resident's smoking status. The incomplete assessment was acknowledged by the DON during the survey.
