resident signed the document saying she did not want CPR to be performed in an emergency. The NHA
said there had been a breakdown in communication in the cases of Residents #455 and #405. The ADON
said in both cases, social services did not communicate to nursing so they could call the doctors and get
orders changed. The ADON confirmed there was no documentation for either resident that a doctor had
been contacted about the change in code status requests. The NHA agreed that if either resident had
coded over the previous weekend, it would have been an issue. The ADON and NHA both stated the
residents' doctors should have been notified immediately of the change in code status request by each
resident.
Review of a facility policy titled Advanced Directive, revised [DATE] showed the following:
Policy:
The center will abide by state and federal laws regarding advanced directives. The center will honor all
properly executed advanced directives that have been provided by the resident and/or resident
representative.
Process:
4. Upon completion of Advanced Directives Discussion Form Document, Social Services or nurse will notify
the physician of the resident's wishes and procure a state approved Do Not Resuscitate Order, if
necessary. Notification will be documented in the medical record
5. Upon notification from resident and/or resident representative of the desire to change or revoke an
advanced directive, or any issue concerning the capacity comma the physician will be notified and the
medical record will be modified accordingly.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure advance directives were
updated per resident's request for two (#406, #455) of 22 residents sampled.
Findings included:
A review of Resident #406's admission Record revealed she had diagnoses which included chronic kidney
disease stage 3 and chronic systolic congestive heart failure.
A review of Resident #406's physician's order dated [DATE] revealed full code.
A review of Resident #406's 5-day Medicare Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], revealed: Section C Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) 14 which indicated intact cognition.
A review of Resident #406's care plans revealed a care plan initiated on [DATE] by the Director of Social
Services for full code.
A review of Resident #406's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) documents revealed an Advance Directives
Discussion Document signed by Resident #406 and the Director of Social Services on [DATE] which
indicated Resident #406 wished to have Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) withheld.

physician sign his part so it could be uploaded into the [electronic medical record (EMR)]. She stated
residents could not be put into the [EMR] as a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) until the doctor signed the form.
She stated the resident knew the physician still needed to sign the form. She stated if the resident went into
cardiac arrest, they would have to give her CPR because the DNR had not been signed yet. She stated she
did not know how long it would take for the DNR to be signed, but it usually took a couple of days.
During an interview on [DATE] at 4:20 p.m., Resident #406 stated if she were to stop breathing, she would
not want to be hooked up to hoses and all the gear. She stated she did not really know what would happen,
but she thought they would leave her and not try to bring her back. She remembered signing the DNR form
and thought it was in effect now.
A review of Resident #406's physician's order dated [DATE] revealed the order for full code was
discontinued on [DATE] at 9:30 a.m. An order dated [DATE] revealed do not resuscitate with an indefinite
end date.
A review of Resident #406's EMR documents revealed the Advance Directives Discussion Document
signed by resident #406 and the Director of Social Services dated [DATE] was no longer in the resident's
documents. A DNR order document signed by the resident on [DATE] and signed by the physician on
[DATE] was uploaded into the EMR on [DATE]. An Advance Directives Discussion Document signed by the
resident, unsigned by facility staff, dated [DATE] indicated the resident wanted CPR withheld and was
uploaded into the EMR on [DATE].

observed to be in the tray cart with clean lunch trays. Photographic evidence obtained.
An interview was conducted on 9/16/24 at 12:01 p.m. with Staff B, CNA. She confirmed dirty trays had been
placed in the cart with clean trays. When asked if dirty trays should be placed in the cart with clean trays,

and nodded.
An interview was conducted on 9/18/24 at 2:24 p.m. with the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM). She said

taken to the baking cart that was in the dining room. She said it stayed there for staff to put dirty trays on.
The CDM said a dirty meal tray should never be placed in the tray cart while clean/new food trays were still
in it. She agreed it was an infection control concern.
