General Guidelines for Assessment may include but are not limited to: skin at risk and general condition of skin. Review of Resident R85's clinical record revealed the diagnoses of epilepsy (a central nervous system disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness); depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest); Alzheimer's disease (a type of brain disorder that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior), and muscle weakness. Review of the resident's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS- assessment of resident's care) dated February 10, 2022, indicated that the resident had short and long term memory impairments.
