or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Provide basic life support, including CPR, prior to the arrival of emergency medical personnel , subject to
physician orders and the resident’s advance directives.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to honor resident's advance directives for DNR (Do Not
Resuscitate) for 1 resident (R1) of 3 residents reviewed for CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)/Advanced
Directives in the sample.
Findings include:
R1 is a [AGE] year-old with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy, left heel pressure ulcer,
Dementia with psychotic disturbance, heart failure, and Alzheimer's Disease. R1 was shown to have a DNR
(Do Not Resuscitate) order that was signed by his guardian on [DATE].
On [DATE] at 12:20 PM, V2 director of nursing (DON) stated, R1 was in his 80's or 90's, alert times one and
up and about with 2-staff assist using mechanical lift. He (R1) hangs out in the dining room, is verbal but
confused and needs assist with feeding. V2 stated I (V2) was in the building in the morning and when I left,
I was called by (V4) about R1's change of condition when I (V2) came in the building around 4:00 PM, V4
licensed practical nurse (LPN) stated she called V3 assistant director of nursing (ADON) and gave a report
and we had called a code blue and R1 went to the hospital. Paramedics came and continued CPR after
staff-initiated CPR. Surveyor asked which staff performed CPR, V2 indicated that there were two people,
one of which was V4 but did not know the other staff person but was possibly a CNA.
On [DATE] at 12:25 PM V3 (ADON) stated, The staff will know the advanced directive of DNR or Full Code
and it is shown in the electronic medical record. She (V4) told me she found (R1) unresponsive and she
had already initiated CPR and she called 911 and had the paperwork and that paramedics were enroute.
It's in PCC (electronic medical record system) if they are DNR or full code. If the resident was full code that
would mean to initiate CPR and if DNR they know not to provide resuscitation and otherwise they would call
a code.
On [DATE], efforts to reach V4 could not be obtained for interview. However, on [DATE] at 4:58 PM, V4
wrote in part, Nurses Notes Note Text: resident sitting at dining room table, head facing table, no response

voicemail with state guardian and family member, DON and ADON aware. 3 paramedics arrived, continued
CPR and oxygen. Resident placed on stretcher, Paramedics transporting to nearest hospital.
