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 record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to obtain a Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNRO) in accordance with the advanced directives of 1 (Residents #31) of 1 resident reviewed for advance directives. The failure to have accurate physician orders has the potential to lead to confusion in regards to the resident's end of life advance directive being honored. The findings included: The facility's policy for Advance Directives- revised procedure for processing an advance directive, dated [DATE]; noted Social Services Director (SSD) documents in the medical record a note that the advance directive document was received and details of the documents. SSD updates the log for DNR orders and delivers a copy of the advance directive to the charge nurse of on the unit where the resident resides. The charge nurse documents receipt of the advance directive by putting the order into the record and changing the Code status if appropriate. Director of Nursing/Assistant Director of Nursing follows up with the check of nursing orders in the medical record. Resident #31's clinical record revealed an active physician's order dated [DATE], for the resident to be a Full Code, indicating the resident was to receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the event his heart stopped beating. The clinical record also contained a DNRO form signed by the resident and physician on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 1:06 p.m., in an interview Registered Nurse (RN) Staff M confirmed Resident #31 had a current physicians order for CPR but his record also contained a signed DNRO form. RN Staff M said she would first look under the advance directive section of the chart for the DNRO form before starting CPR but acknowledged would want everything to match to avoid any confusion and would contact the resident's physician to get the code status order changed after she spoke to the resident to verify his wishes. In an interview on [DATE] at 12:48 p.m., the Social Services Director (SSD) said the admission paperwork for Resident #31 did not have any advance directives. She did visit with the resident on [DATE] and discussed his advance directive in regards to CPR but did not document the conversation about his wishes in the clinical record. The resident did express his desire to be a DNR, so she had the resident sign the DNRO form and sent it to the physician. She acknowledged when he first arrived would have been full code status but after the DNRO form was signed, the order should have been changed.
