What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 4 deficiencies, 4 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few 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.

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 fellow nurse and I pronounced time of death at 1838 [6:38 p.m.] as (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided.
