Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to honor a resident's decision to formulate an advance
directive and did not ensure a residents' end-of-life wishes for Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) was honored for
one (#3) of three residents sampled.On [DATE], when staff failed to verify Resident #3's resuscitation code
status and performed Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) against the documented resident's wishes.
Resident #3 had a fully executed Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order in the medical record dated [DATE]. The
facility's failure to honor Resident #'s DNR status deprived her of a dignified death and likely resulted in
severe pain and organ damage. Additionally, Resident #3 could not express her reaction to this event.
Applying the reasonable person concept, Resident #3 would likely experience serious psychosocial harm
by being resuscitated against her wishes. This failure resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy
occurring on [DATE]. During the survey, the survey team verified the implementation of the facility's
immediate actions to remove the Immediate Jeopardy, and the Immediate Jeopardy was removed as of
[DATE]. The scope and severity of F578 was reduced from J to a D which is no actual harm with potential
for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy. Findings included:During an interview on
[DATE] at 1:25 p.m., Staff B, Registered Nurse (RN), said on [DATE] at approximately 6:30 p.m. Resident
#3 was observed non-responsive and without a palpable pulse. Staff B, RN stated she instructed the
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) present to call a code. Staff B, RN said the staff response time was
slower than expected and she initiated chest compressions. She stated after performing two chest
compressions, she was informed the resident had a DNR order in place and she discontinued chest
compressions.A review of Resident #3's admission record showed an initial admission date of [DATE], with
diagnoses including dementia, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, vascular implants, osteoarthritis, Stage 2 chronic
kidney disease, anxiety, depression, insomnia, hypertension and Hodgkin's Lymphoma.A review of
Resident #3's order summary report as of [DATE], showed a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, dated
[DATE].A Review of Resident #3's medical record revealed the presence of a valid State of Florida Do Not
Resuscitate Order (DNRO) (Form DH 1896), dated [DATE]. The DNRO was present and available to guide
staff in honoring the resident's end-of-life wishes when discovered on [DATE] not breathing and without a
pulse.A review of Resident #3's annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated [DATE], showed a
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 1 out of 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment.A
review of Resident #3's care plan showed a focus area as follows: [Resident #3] has an established DNR
(DO NOT RESUSCITATE) order in place, initiated on [DATE], created by the Social Worker.The
interventions for this care plan focus included, Activate resident's advanced directives as indicated.On
[DATE] at 11:33 p.m. a progress note authored by Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) showed the
following: Staff approached me around 1830 [6:30 p.m.] and informed me that resident was not breathing
