(1) the service planning team
determines whether nursing or CFC PAS/HAB is critical to the individual's
health and safety;

individual's IPC identifies whether nursing or CFC PAS/HAB is critical to the
individual's health and safety; and

provided through the CDS option.

(1) a service backup plan developed in
accordance with subsection (a)(3) of this section addresses any risk that might
exist to the health and safety of the individual; and

pertinent information about the individual's needs and is able to protect the
individual's health and safety.

(1) discuss the implementation of
the service backup plan with the individual and the service providers or
natural supports identified in the service backup plan to determine whether or
not the plan was effective;

document whether or not the plan was effective; and
