advance directives:
[DATE]- Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) and
[DATE]- full code.
The My Advance Directive form from a local hospital signed by the resident and dated [DATE] at 4:05 p.m.
showed Resident #257 did not want Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) if his heart or breathing
stopped.
A review of the care plans initiated [DATE] showed the advance directive was full code. Interventions
included resident had decided to remain a full code.
On [DATE] at 2:35 p.m., Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Unit Care Coordinator, stated the code
status was in the [electronic medical record]. If a resident had a DNR, it would be in the hard chart. In the
case of an emergency, she would look in the hard chart first, then the [electronic medical record]. She

code and that the profile banner showed full code. She reviewed the hard chart and confirmed that
Resident #257 did not have a DNR form. She confirmed the My Advance Directive form showed that
Resident #257 did not want CPR if his heart or breathing stopped. Staff H, LPN, Unit Care Coordinator then
stated she would verify the code status with Resident #257.

On [DATE] at 2:40 p.m., Staff I, LPN, stated Resident #257 was a full code. Staff H, LPN, Unit Care
Coordinator, reported the concern to Staff I, LPN, who was assigned as his direct care nurse. Staff I, LPN,
stated, Yes, that's confusing.
On [DATE] at 2:43 p.m., in Resident #257's room, Staff H, LPN, Unit Care Coordinator, showed the resident
the My Advance Directive form and asked if he remembered completing the form. The resident stated he
remembered signing the form and that he did not want CPR because of his age amongst other health
issues. The nurse explained that she would bring the paperwork for him to complete for the DNR and speak
with the doctor regarding his wishes. Resident #257 then stated he would think about it and let her know
what he wanted to do tomorrow. Staff H, LPN, Unit Care Coordinator, stated she would keep him full code
for now until he decided what he wanted to do and make the change to full code status only because it was
confusing.
On [DATE] at 2:27 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the resident had a current order for both
DNR and full code. She stated the expectation was there was only one code status in the medical record to
prevent confusion.
The policy provided by the facility Advance Directives and Advance Care Planning reviewed [DATE]
revealed the following:
3. c. If the resident has an advance directive, the social worker will request a copy of the directive so that it
may become part of the medical record. Documentation of such directives are placed in the Social Services
progress note. The resident's attending physician is made aware of such, and the appropriate orders are
incorporated into the resident's care plan.
8. Each time the resident is admitted to the facility, quarterly, and when a change in condition is noted in the
resident condition, the facility should review the advance directive and advance care planning information.
a. This review should focus on if the existing advance directive and ACP match the current goals of care for
the resident. The social services director or designee should document this conversion in the medical
record and assist as needed with updating the documents that need revision in accordance with state and
federal requirements.

Attorney (POA) with her sister. She reported she was not aware of the seat belt being in use, but thought
the chair came with the seat belt already attached. She reported the facility was probably using the seatbelt
for safety as her mother had falls in the past.
Review of Resident #39's record revealed she was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
re-admitted on [DATE]. The resident had diagnosis that included Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis following
unspecified cerebrovascular disease affecting right non-dominant side. The resident had a Brief Review For

On 4/18/23 at 2:27 p.m., the Nursing Home Administrator stated that PASRR's are done in the hospital and
that Social Services at the facility assists with them.
On 4/19/23 at 3:43 p.m., the Social Service Director stated if the PASRR from the hospital was not correct a
new one should be submitted. He said he would only submit another one if a new MI diagnosis was the
primary diagnosis. A review of Resident #24's evaluation was done and the SSD stated the review was to
notify the agency that the facility was thinking they needed to be reviewed again. The SSD reviewed
Resident #82's PASRR and said the diagnoses needed to be checked off because it did not say the MI

the form should have been completed in the resident's given name not the name the resident preferred to
be called. The PASRR should indicate the MI diagnoses and the resident received psychiatric services. The

mental disorders or intellectual disabilities and related conditions. The initial pre-screening is referred to as
a PASARR Level I and is completed prior to admission to a nursing facility. A negative Level I screen
permits admission to proceed and ends the PASARR process unless a possible serious mental disorder or
intellectual disability arises later. A positive Level I screen necessitates an in-depth evaluation of the
individual by the state-designated authority, known as PASARR Level II which must be conducted prior to
admission to a nursing facility. The procedure portion of the policy indicated that the facility was to ensure
Level I PASARR screening had been completed on potential admissions prior to admission. A record of the
pre-screening should be retained in the resident's medical record. As part of the PASARR process, the
facility is required to notify the appropriate state mental health authority or state intellectual disability
authority when a resident with a mental disorder (MD) or intellectual disability (ID) has a significant change
in their physical or mental condition. Any resident with newly evident or possible serious mental disorder, ID,
or a related condition must be referred by the the facilty to the appropriate state-designated mental health
or intellectual disability authority for review. Examples of individuals who may not have previously been
identified by PASARR to have MD, ID or a related condition include but is not limited to: a. A resident who
exhibits behavioral, psychiatric, or mood related symptoms suggesting the presence of a mental disorder
(where dementia is not the primary diagnosis).

a new pen opened, you primed it, I did not know you had to do that every time you give insulin.
A record review of active physician orders for the Resident #78 read as follows:
Dated 12/30/2022 Humalog Kwik Pen Insulin (insulin lispro) 100 unit/ml, sliding scale units before meals

According to manufacturer instruction insert for priming Humalog Kwik-Pen Insulin (Lispro) U-100,
https://pi.lilly.com/us/humalog-kwikpen-um.pdf
Priming your Pen:
-Prime before each injection.
- Priming your Pen means removing the air from the Needle and Cartridge that may collect during normal
use and ensures that the Pen is working correctly.
-If you do not prime before each injection, you may get too much or too little insulin.
-Step 6:
- To prime your Pen, turn the Dose Knob to select 2 units.
Step 7:
- Hold your Pen with the Needle pointing up. Tap the Cartridge Holder gently to collect air bubbles at the
top.
Step 8:
- Continue holding your Pen with Needle pointing up. Push the Dose Knob in until it stops, and 0 is seen in
the Dose Window. Hold the Dose Knob in and count to 5 slowly. You should see insulin at the tip of the
Needle. - If you do not see insulin, repeat priming steps 6 to 8, no more than 4 times. - If you still do not see
insulin, change the Needle, and repeat priming steps 6 to 8. Small air bubbles are normal and will not affect
your dose.
An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 04/19/2023 at 11:58 a.m. During the
interview, the DON was informed of the observations conducted of medication administration for Resident's

dose; and the medication Trelegy, was given one hour before it was supposed to be given. I will make sure
education is given to the nurses to follow pharmacy labeling instructions for dose, rinsing and spitting out
after use of the medication.
