If it is not on the computerized care plan it will not be on the hand held computer device for the nursing assistance to view. Interview with the DON (Director of Nursing) on 1/6/2011 at 4:50 PM confirmed that since the TABS and motion alarms (a device to alert staff of resident rising) were documented in the nursing notes as in place for Resident 1's, the interventions should have been communicated to staff and the nursing notes reviews so that interventions were added to the Comprehensive Care Plan dated 12/17/2010.
