The dietician will discuss diet/nutrition related issues. She will discuss nursing related issues. Orders are put in at the 'floor level' and discussed at morning meetings. If during the advance directive discussion, it is determined that the resident has a DNR, she would check to see if the resident has a care plan that addresses the DNR code status, if not, she will initiate a care plan to address DNR code status. The Care Plan Coordinator reviewed the morning clinical meeting notes for 03/13/23 and 03/14/23 and stated there was no mention or discussion of DNR
