Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents had a safe and comfortable
environment when;
1. Resident rooms [ROOM NUMBERS]'s room temperature was above 81 degrees Fahrenheit (F).
2. Resident 59's bed was broken.
3. Closet doors for 12 of 70 residents (Residents 56, 36, 60, 41, 64, 13, 118, 119, 40, 62, 48, 10) did not
close.
4. Built in dresser drawers for 12 of 70 residents (Residents 53, 36, 60, 41, 12, 18, 118, 119, 40, 62, 48, 10)
were covered in thick, textured paint making them difficult to open and close and were dirty inside.
5. The automatic patio door in lobby was non-operational.
These deficient practices did not ensure a homelike environment and had the potential to cause discomfort
from high environmental temperatures inside the facility.
Findings:
1. During an interview on 6/21/22 at 10:25 a.m., Resident 52 stated the temperature in room [ROOM
NUMBER] was too hot., and the Air-conditioning (AC) system was not working properly. Resident 52 further
stated he reported the room being too hot to the nurse and was transferred to another room and was
concerned for the other residents.
During room rounds on 6/21/22 at 11:55 a.m., accompanied by the Regional Maintenance Director (RMD),
rooms [ROOM NUMBERS]'s room temperature was 83 degrees F. RMD stated the facility had no
maintenance supervisor and would check the AC for proper functioning.
During an interview on 6/21/22 at 12:47 p.m., the Certified Nursing Assistant/Restorative Nursing Assistant
(RNA) stated she was assigned to care for the residents in Rooms 14, 15 and 16 . RNA stated the facility
was aware of the hot temperature in rooms [ROOM NUMBERS].
During an interview on 6/22/22 at 9:57 a.m., the Admin stated the facility had no Maintenance Supervisor.

2. During an observation and concurrent interview with Resident 59 on 6/21/22 at 2:16 p.m., Resident 59's
bed footboard was broken with one side almost touching the floor. Resident 59 stated the bed footboard
had been broken for three weeks now, and the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) knew about it but
management has not done anything yet. Resident 59 further stated the broken bed footboard was a tripping
hazard.
3. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/21/22, at 9:15 a.m., with Resident 58, the closet
doors in the room did not close, exposing personal items. Resident 58 indicated the doors have never
closed. Further observations in multiple rooms revealed the closet doors in the rooms did not close for
Residents 56, 36, 60, 41, 64, 13, 118, 119, 40, 62, 48, and 10.
4. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/21/22, at 9:17 a.m., with Resident 58, the built in
dresser drawers in the room were covered with a thick, textured paint and were difficult to open and close
and were dirty inside. Resident 58 indicated the drawers stick and sometimes cannot be opened.
Subsequent observations in multiple rooms revealed the same issue with the built in dresser drawers for
Residents 53, 36, 60, 41, 12, 18, 118, 119, 40, 62, 48, and 10.
5. During an interview on 6/21/22, at 10:28 a.m., with Resident 52, Resident 52 indicated the lobby patio

Maintenance (RDM), in the lobby, the automatic patio door did not open when the handicap access buttons
were pushed. RDM indicated the door was locked at night and had not been unlocked in the morning. RDM
unlocked the door, but the handicap access buttons continued to be nonfunctional.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/23/22 at 9:45 a.m., with the Administrator (Adm), in the
lobby by the automatic patio door, the door was closed. Adm indicated the door was new and the motion
sensor that opens the door was not working. The handicap access buttons do not work with the new door
because there are motion sensors both inside the lobby and in the patio that operate the door. Adm
confirmed the door was not functional and indicated needed to be repaired.

Resident 37's Resident Face Sheet indicated Resident 37 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down to all four limbs), contractures of the
right and left arm, and right and left lower leg.
Review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident
care) dated 6/3/22 indicated Resident 37 required extensive staff assistance for turning/repositioning while
in bed, and required total staff assistance with all other Activities of Daily Living (ADL) like personal
hygiene, toileting, eating, and bathing. Resident 37 had functional limitations on both upper and lower
extremities that interfered with daily function and placed Resident 37 at risk for injury.
Review of Resident 37's Physician Order Report for 6/1/22-6/23/22 indicated the following orders dated
6/13/22:
- Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) Program for Passive Range of Motion (PROM, when a therapist or
provider causes movement to a joint) to bilateral (left and right) upper extremity twice weekly as tolerated
for 90 days.
- RNA Program for bilateral lower extremity twice weekly as tolerated for 90 days.
- RNA to apply ankle splint to bilateral lower extremity twice weekly for 90 days, up to four hours a day, as
tolerated.
- RNA to apply hand splint to bilateral upper extremity twice weekly for 90 days, up to four hours a day as
tolerated.
- RNA to apply knee splint to bilateral lower extremity twice weekly for 90 days, up to four hours a day as

Assessments triggered by the MDS must be considered for care plan development.
Residents Affected - Few
Care plans must be fully developed within 7 days after completing the comprehensive assessment (MDS).
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement or develop the
Comprehensive Plan of Care policy and procedure for the following three (Resident 37, 56 and 57) of 22
sampled residents when;
-Resident 56's care plan was not developed to ensure safe smoking interventions were implemented. For
example, an apron to protect clothing and self against burns.
-Resident 57 did not have a care plan to address an impairment of the lower extremities.
- Resident 37 had no care plan developed for range of motion.
These deficient practices had the potential for residents to not receive care and treatment services based
on care assessment needs.
Findings:
1. During an interview on 6/22/22 at 8:18 a.m., Resident 56 stated he was a smoker and smoked cigarettes
as scheduled.
Review of Resident 56's Significant change in status Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment and care
screening tool used to guide care), dated 11/7/21, indicated Resident 56's diagnoses included seizure
disorder or epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed causing seizures) and
Traumatic Brain injury (a disruption in the normal function of the brain).
During an interview on 6/22/22 at 8:29 a.m., the MDS coordinator (MDS) stated the care plan to address
Resident 56's safe smoking was not developed.
2. Review of Resident 57's Significant change in status Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment and care
screening tool used to guide care), dated 2/9/22, indicated Resident 57 had impairment on both sides,
lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle, foot). Resident 57's diagnoses included osteoarthritis of the knee
(degeneration of joint cartilage and underlying bone, which causes pain and stiffness).
During an interview on 6/23/22 at 9:18 a.m., MDS stated the care plan was not developed for Resident 57's
contractures (condition of hardening or shortening of a muscle often leading to deformity and rigidity of
joints) and limitation to lower extremities.
3. Review of Resident 37's Resident Face Sheet indicated Resident 37 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down to all four limbs),
contractures of the right and left arm, and right and left lower leg.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 5. Review of
Resident 29's Resident Face Sheet indicated Resident 29 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included left hand muscle contracture (condition of hardening or shortening of a
muscle) and hemiplegia and hemiparesis of the left side (hemiplegia, weakness of one side of the body;
hemiparesis, paralysis of one side of the body).
Review of Resident 29's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated
4/19/22 indicated Resident 29 required extensive assistance from staff for personal hygiene (like combing
hair, brushing teeth, shaving, washing/drying face and hands) and dressing (like putting on and changing
pajamas, or any items of clothing) and for turning and repositioning while in bed. Resident 29 also required
total staff assistance (staff does 100% of the work) for transfers, toilet use, and bathing. resident 29's MDS
also indicated Resident 29 had functional limitation that interfered with daily function, placing Resident 29
at risk for injury, on both sides of upper and lower extremities.
Review of Resident 29's Physician Order Report for June 2022 indicated a physician order dated 5/30/22
for Resident 29 to receive Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) program for Active Assistive Range of
Motion (AAROM, a helper or a provider helps the resident in completing the movement/exercises) to both
lower extremity and both upper extremity twice weekly as tolerated. The report also indicated an order
dated 5/30/22 that if RNA is not available, mobility and range of motion will be done by Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) during care/Activities of Daily Living (ADL, like bathing, personal hygiene,
turning/repositioning, eating, transferring from bed to wheelchair).
During an interview with RNA on 6/22/22 at 11:10 a.m., RNA stated not being able to work with Resident
29 for awhile and could not remember the last time RNA program was done. RNA stated, if she had been
re-assigned as CNA when facility was short of staff, which happened very often, the CNA who was
assigned to Resident 29 would have to do the range of motion exercises during ADLs.
During an interview with CNA 2 on 6/22/22 at 2:52 p.m., CNA 2 stated he did not know who, among his
residents, were on RNA program. CNA 2 also stated not doing ROM exercises during ADLs and that no
one had told them to.
Review of Resident 29's Point of Care History for 5/1/22- 6/22/22 indicated Resident 29 had Assistive
Active Range of Motion exercises with RNA on 6/8/22 and 6/9/22 (two times).
Facility did not provide RNA care for the followings
Resident 2 lower extremities contractures
Resident 26 ambulation

Physician orders: RNA program for AAROM to B LE/Left UE 2 times weekly as tolerated for 90 days, if RNA
not available, ROM will be done by CNA during care/ADLs
Hand roll to left hand contracture LN to check proper placement every shift
06/22/22 11:10 AM interview with [NAME] Arquisola, RNA, stated she started her shift today as a CNA, and
had just been relieved because somebody showed up and took over her assignment, could not remember
the last time she worked with resident cause it had been awhile. but was doing active ROM like extension of
upper extremities for 15-20 minutes, but if not working as RNA for the day, CNA will have to do it during
ADL care.
06/22/22 02:52 PM interview with [NAME], CNA, stated he did not know which of his residents were on
RNA program, and nobody told them to do ROM exercises
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide four (Residents 2, 23, 26
and 29 ) sampled residents restorative nursing care (RNA). No RNA services were provided for Resident
2's lower extremities and contractures (hardening or shortening of a muscle) and no splint was applied for
Resident 23's left hand. For Resident 26, no ambulation was provided or Resident 29's range of motion
(ROM) to the upper extremities, all of which were ordered by the physician and according to the residents'
plan of care.
These deficient practices had the potential to cause a decrease in Residents 2, 23, 23, and 29 ROM.
Findings:
1. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment screening tool used to guide care) dated 3/5/22,
indicated Resident 2's Basic Interview of mental status (BIMS) score was 8 (meaning moderate cognitive
impairment). Resident 2 had limited ROM and impairment to the upper (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand)
and lower extremity hip knee, ankle and foot. The diagnoses included contracture of the muscle on the left
upper arm and cerebrovascular accident (stroke).
Review of the Physical Therapy (PT) Discharge summary dated [DATE] indicated Resident 2 had a PT
evaluation and was to continue with ROM for the left lower extremity contracture.
Review of the physician order report dated 6/13/22 indicated the physician prescribed Resident 2 to
continue on the RNA program for passive range of motion (PROM) to the left lower and upper extremity
(LL/LUE), two times per week, as tolerated for 90 days.

Resident 22 had diagnoses that included hemiplegia/ hemiparesis (loss of strength or paralysis on one side
of the body) and stroke.
Review of Resident 23's ROM care plan dated 9/21/20 indicated Resident 23 was at risk for decline in ROM
related to lower extremities and use of orthotics (external device). The care plan approach included the
RNA to apply a hand splint to the left upper extremity, 3 x (times) for 90 days, up to four hours per day as
tolerated.
3. Review of the general order dated 4/14/22, indicated the physician prescribed Resident 26 to receive

Review of Resident 29's Physician Order Report reflected the order dated 5/30/22 for Resident 29 to
receive the RNA program for Active Assistive ROM (AAROM, assists the resident in completing the
movement/exercises), to both lower extremity and both upper extremity, twice weekly as tolerated. The
order dated 5/30/22 indicated if the RNA is not available, mobility and ROM will be done by the CNA during
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) care, such as bathing, personal hygiene, eating, turning/repositioning and
transferring from bed to wheelchair).
During an interview with RNA on 6/22/22 at 11:10 a.m., RNA stated she could not remember the last time
the RNA program was done because she was re-assigned to work as a CNA when the facility was short of
staff. RNA stated short staffing happened often, and the CNA assigned to Resident 29 would have to do the
ROM exercises during ADL care.
During an interview with CNA 2 on 6/22/22 at 2:52 p.m., CNA 2 stated he did not know which residents he
had that were on the RNA program. CNA stated he was not doing ROM exercises during ADLs because

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the licensed nursing staff routinely administered pain medication in the
absence of pain for one of 22 sampled residents (Resident 7). Resident 7 was ordered Morphine (an
opioid/narcotic), twice a day for moderate pain. Staff routinely administered the narcotic when the resident
denied having pain. Staff also continued to administer the medication when Resident 7 had become
lethargic.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in respiratory depression, and unnecessary admission to the hospital.
Findings:
Record review on 6/22/2022 of the document Resident Face Sheet showed the facility admitted Resident 7
on 3/22/2021. The diagnoses included arthritis.
Record review on 6/23/2022 of the document, Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool for
planning care) dated 3/14/2022, showed Resident 7 had clear speech, was able to express her ideas and
wants and understood what was said to her.
During the initial rounds on 6/20/2022 at 11:30 a.m., Resident 7 was observed awake, sitting up in bed but
did not respond when greeted.
In an interview on 6/20/2022 at 12:58 p.m., Family Member 1 stated the facility called her on 6/19/2022 to
report Resident 7 had become sluggish and was not eating. Furthermore, on 6/22/2011 at 2:30 p.m.,
Family Member 1 stated she visited Resident 7 on 6/20/2022 (day after the change of condition and found
the resident's voice to be sluggish which was a change for her.
Record review on 6/21/2022 of the Physician Order Report: 5/1/2022-6/21/2022, showed an order for
Morphine tablet extended release; 15 mg (milligram); amt: 15 mg;oral. Special Instructions: Give 1 tab (15
mg) by mouth twice a day for moderate pain. Twice a day; 10:00 a.m., 10:00 p.m.
Review of the document, Medications Administration History: 6/1/2022 - 6/21/2022 showed Resident 7
received Morphine 15 mg twice a day for moderate pain throughout that time period.
Review of the document, Pain Monitoring Administration History: 6/1/2022 - 6/20/2022 showed Resident 7
denied having pain.
In an interview on 6/21/2022 at 2:45 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) stated the Morphine was for
moderate pain, which, on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the most pain) moderate pain would have been 5. LVN
stated she should have called the doctor since Resident 7 denied pain. LVN 4 stated it was important to
assess the level of pain prior to administering the medication so staff can know whether to hold it or not.
Too much can suppress respirations.
In an interview on 6/21/2022 at 2:55 p.m., Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) confirmed she was giving Resident 7
pain medication despite the fact that she had no pain. RN 2 stated, We still give it to her. RN stated the
potential side effect of giving too much pain medication was respiratory depression.
Review of the document, Observation Detail List Report (ODLR) dated 6/19/2022 at 8:40 a.m., showed

Resident 7 was admitted to the hospital with diagnosis of acute respiratory failure and Consider opiates as
patient is on morphine at facility
More potent opiate medications, such as morphine, should be used only when the client's pain level is
severe. Expect to institute appropriate tapering doses or substitute less-potent narcotic analgesics, as
ordered, as the client's pain level decreases. The first sign of narcotic over-dose is often respiratory
depression. [Textbook of Basic Nursing; [NAME] and [NAME] T. [NAME]. Wolters Kluwer/[NAME] & Wilkins;

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, for one of one sampled resident (Resident 29)
reviewed for dialysis (process when a machine filters the blood of wastes when the kidneys are not healthy
enough to do it), the facility failed to ensure that a phosphate binder (binds/attaches to some of the
phosphate in food reducing one's blood phosphorus levels) was administered as ordered by the physician.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in increased blood phosphorus (mineral) levels.
Findings:
Review of Resident 29's Resident Face Sheet indicated Resident 29 was initially admitted with diagnoses
that included end stage kidney failure, diabetes mellitus (abnormal levels of blood sugar), and dependence
on hemodialysis.
Review of Resident 29's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated
4/19/22 indicated Resident 29 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool for
resident's orientation to time and capacity to remember) score of 15, meaning cognitively intact.
Furthermore, Resident 29 required staff supervision and set up help with meals.
Review of Resident 29's Physician Order Report for the month of June 2022 indicated an order for Resident
29 to receive Renvela (a phosphate binder) 800 milligram (mg) tablet, one tablet by mouth three times daily
with meals. Resident 29's order report indicated Resident 29 went to the dialysis center for hemodialysis
every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m.
During review of Resident 29's Medication Administration History (MAH) from 5/1/22-5/31/22, on 6/21/22 at
12:17 p.m., the May 2022 MAH indicated Resident 29 did not receive Renvela 13 out of 93 medication
times.
During review of Resident 29's MAH from 6/1/22-6/21/22, the MAH for June 2022 indicated Resident 29
missed 9 of 63 doses of Renvela.
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 29's MAH with Medical Records Director (MRD), on
6/22/22 at 10:07 a.m., MRD stated, if the MAH showed an asterisk and the licensed nurse initials in open
close parenthesis, it means that the medication dose was not administered and there should be an
explanation for why it was not administered. Resident 29's MAH for May 2022 and June 2022 indicated, Not
administered: Resident unavailable Comment: [resident] out for dialysis.
During an observation on 6/21/22 at 3:00 p.m., Resident 29 had just returned from dialysis and was being
helped back to bed.
During an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 on 6/21/22 at 3:11 p.m., LVN 4 stated, when
Resident 29 left for dialysis after breakfast, the night shift nurse would pack some food along with Renvela
so Resident 29 could take Renvela with lunch while at dialysis center. LVN 4 stated sometimes Resident 29
would meet up with family at the dialysis center who would bring Resident 29 lunch. LVN 4 stated Resident
29 took Renvela independently and it was written in the dialysis book that Resident 29 brought to the
dialysis clinic.

Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 29)
reviewed for food concerns, the facility failed to provide food at a safe and appetizing temperature when
Resident 29 was served a lunch tray that had been sitting at the bedside for two hours or more.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in food borne illness and resulted in Resident 29 being served cold
food.
Findings:
Review of Resident 29's Resident Face Sheet indicated Resident 29 had been known to the facility since
7/21/17 with diagnoses that included diabetes (abnormal levels of blood sugar), major depressive disorder
(persistently depressed mood), and dependence on hemodialysis (treatment to filter water and waste from
a patient's blood when the kidneys are not working normally).
Review of Resident 29's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated
4/19/22 indicated Resident 29 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool for
resident's orientation to time and capacity to remember) score of 15, meaning cognitively intact.
Furthermore, Resident 29 required staff supervision and set up help with meals, and required total assist
for locomotion around the facility.
During an interview with Resident 29 on 6/20/22 at 11:35 a.m., Resident 29 stated during meal times, the
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) would just pass the trays and move on to the next room. Resident 29
stated, CNAs have said they did not have time to warm up food if the food was cold. Resident 29 stated he
went to dialysis every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
During an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 on 6/21/22 at 12:20 p.m., LVN 4 stated
Resident 29 left for dialysis after 8 am on dialysis days, and returned to the facility after lunch hours.
During an observation on 6/21/22 at 3:00 p.m., Resident 29 had just returned from dialysis and was being
helped back to bed.
During an observation and concurrent interview with the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) on 6/21/22 at
3:20 p.m., CDM went inside Resident 29's room and came out of the room carrying a lunch tray. CDM
stated it was Resident 29's lunch tray that was left at the bedside. CDM stated she would take it to the
kitchen to be thrown out because it was not supposed to be kept inside the room.
During an interview with Resident 29 on 6/22/22 at 11:35 a.m., Resident 29 stated, upon returning from
dialysis (on dialysis days), the lunch tray would be at the bedside and would eat whatever is on the lunch
tray, even when the food was cold. Resident 29 stated, sometimes, Resident 29 would ask the CNA to
warm up the food but would see a sad face, so Resident 29 would just eat the cold lunch.

or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the licensed staff did not provide the necessary
rehabilitative services for one of 22 sampled residents. (Resident 25). Resident 25 had bilateral foot drop
(inability to lift the front part of the foot causing the toes to drag on the ground which may be due to
muscular problems or other underlying issues). Staff had not supported Resident 25's feet with a splint and
there were no RNA (Restorative Nursing Assistant) visits documented in the clinical record.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in the potential decrease in muscle strength in her feet and general range of motion.

(RD) confirmed Resident 25's foot drop. RD stated Resident 25 was not currently receiving physical therapy
services but was seen by the RNA. RD stated the RNA had been working with Resident 25 on ROM and
Resident 25 would benefit from the use of a splint for her foot drop.
In an interview on 6/23/22 at 10:26 a.m., RNA stated she supervised Resident 25's ROM in her upper and
lower extremities. RNA was aware of the foot drop and stated Resident 25 had no splint for her feet and
was Not sure if it had ever been tried.
In an interview on 6/23/22 at 10:39 a.m., the facility's administrator stated there were no documented RNA
visit notes in the clinical record for Resident 25.
Record review on 6/23/2022 of the document, Care Plan dated 3/29/2021, showed Resident 25 . was at
risk for a decline in ROM and/or functional mobility. The goals included, Decrease risk for further decline in
ROM.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, for one of four (Resident 49) sampled residents reviewed for advanced
directives, the facility failed to ensure medical records were complete and accurate when Resident 49's
Physician Order for Life -Sustaining Treatment (POLST, a form that gives seriously-ill patients control over
end-of-life care decisions including medical care, prevents unwanted treatments and ensure patient's
wishes are honored) was incomplete and not signed by Resident 49 or the Resident Representative.
This failure had the potential to result in unwanted treatment and medical interventions and not honoring
Resident 49's wishes for end-of-life care.
Findings:
Review of Resident 49's Resident Face Sheet indicated Resident 49 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness), visual loss, history of breast cancer,
congestive heart failure (progressive disorder affecting pumping power of the heart muscle), and dyspnea
(difficult or labored breathing). Resident 49's face sheet indicated Do Not Resuscitate (to NOT revive from
unconsciousness or apparent death).
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 49's clinical record with Director of Nursing (DON),
on [DATE] at 8:49 a.m., DON stated Resident 49's POLST indicated Do Not Resuscitate/DNR order signed
by Resident 49's Attending Physician (AP) 1. DON also stated there was no advanced directive in the
clinical record and because the POLST was not signed by Resident 49 or Resident 49's Resident
Representative, if and when Resident 49 goes into cardiac arrest, licensed nurses would be expected to do
chest compressions to revive Resident 49. Resident 49's POLST form indicated an order to DNR but did
not indicate other medical interventions or any order for artificially administered nutrition.
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 49's POLST with Registered Nurse (RN) 2 and
Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 5, on [DATE] at 9:07 a.m., both stated, since the POLST was not signed
by Resident 49 or Resident 49's representative, Resident 49 will be treated as Full Code (resuscitation
efforts will be performed such as chest compressions).
During an interview with Social Services (SS) on [DATE] at 9:21 a.m., SS stated Resident 49's POLST
should have been sent to Resident 49's conservator for signature as soon as it was signed by AP 1 but that
was not done. SS stated Resident 49's POLST was prepared and signed by SAP 1 in [DATE] (more than a
year ago).
During a follow-up interview with SS on [DATE] at 12:47 p.m., SS stated she had contacted Resident 49's
conservator and was told that POLST should be signed by Resident 49 or resident representative.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST),
last updated [DATE] indicated the following: The admitting licensed nurse will note existence of a POLST
form in the clinical record and review its completeness. Social Worker will conduct an initial review of the
POLST with the resident or legally recognized decision-maker within the first required 14-day assessment
period as part of the care planning process. The POLST will be reviewed by the facility's Interdisciplinary
