If I understood your template correctly, "Risk plan implemented" refers to the status of any action defined to implement controls to treat the risk:

Yes - the risk plan is already implemented
No - the risk plan is not implemented yet
N.A. - No Applicable action is needed to be implemented

For low-level risk general option is N.A., since low-level risks are accepted.

For high-level risk, the option Yes/No will depend on when the implementation is checked and the plan due date. The N.A. option is used when the high-level risk is accepted (e.g., when it is identified that the cost to implement the control is higher than the impact, if the risk occurs)
