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.
Based on medical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure advance directive orders
and documents were consistent in the medical record and reflective of the resident/resident representative
wishes. This affected one (Resident #348) of 24 residents reviewed for advance directives. The facility
census was 100.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #348's medical record revealed an admission date of 08/08/23 with diagnoses that
included Alzheimer's disease with dementia, congestive heart failure and atherosclerotic heart disease.
Further review of Resident #348's physician's orders revealed the resident's code status was full code
(cardiopulmonary resuscitation).
Review of the paper chart revealed an advance directive form which indicated do not resuscitate comfort
care (DNR-CC) measures (comfort measures in the event of cardiac/respiratory arrest) chosen by Resident
#348's responsible party and signed by the physician on 08/09/23. The paper chart also contained a full
code paper which indicated to staff the resident was a full code in case of emergency.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #171 on 08/28/23 at 11:23 A.M. revealed the electronic
medical record and the full code form contained in the paper chart were not accurate and did not reflect
Resident #348's advance directive form which indicated a DNR-CC status.

revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #100 called LPN #101 into Resident #94 ' s room, the
resident was without vital signs by verification of two nurses (identified as LPN #101 and LPN #102) (the
progress note did not provide additional details regarding how this was verified). The progress note
indicated EMS was notified. EMS arrived and the resident was with vital signs on electrocardiogram (EKG).
The deputy was called due to the inability to reach the medical doctor. Resident #94 ' s sister was notified
by the deputy. The note also indicated the coroner ' s office would be en route after the notification.
Review of an emergency medical services (EMS) report, dated [DATE], revealed EMS were dispatched to
the facility on [DATE] at 5:26 A.M., were reroute at 5:31 A.M., and at the scene at 5:38 A.M. Upon arrival,
Resident #94 was found lying in bed, unresponsive and apneic (not breathing). The resident was cold to the
touch with lividity and the initial stages of rigor. Facility nurse stated the resident was a full code, was found
this way just prior to the call to EMS, and CPR was not performed due to the resident ' s obvious death. The
resident was last seen approximately two hours prior. The facility was unable to reach their medical director.
An EKG was obtained and revealed asystole (cessation of electrical activity of the heart) in three leads. The
communication center notified the county sheriff ' s office and a deputy arrived on scene, took over, and
contacted the coroner.
Review of Resident #94's nursing progress note, dated [DATE] at 7:40 A.M. and authored by the Director of
Nursing (DON), revealed there was an order to release the body to the funeral home as requested by the
family.
Review of LPN #101's witness statement, dated [DATE], revealed her last rounds were at 3:00 A.M. At 5:20
A.M., STNA #100 called her to the memory care unit for a resident without vital signs. EMS was called at
5:22 A.M. A second nurse, (identified as LPN #102), verified there were no vital signs.
Review of STNA #100 ' s witness statement, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #94 went to bed at 10:45
P.M. During rounds, STNA #100 checked on the resident at 1:00 A.M. and observed her in bed, lying on her
side and sleeping. STNA #100 checked on the resident again at 3:05 A.M. and the resident was still on her
side and sleeping. During STNA #100 ' s last round at 5:15 A.M., the resident was lying on her back in bed.
STNA #100 attempted to wake the resident with no response and notified the nurse (identified as LPN
#101).
During interview on [DATE] at 11:24 A.M., LPN #101 stated she was working on Hallway 100 or 200 (on
[DATE]) when STNA #100 alerted her that Resident #94 was cold and unresponsive. LPN #101 stated she
tapped on the resident ' s shoulder and called her name and there was no response. LPN #101 stated the
only vital sign that she obtained was a radial pulse, which was absent, she then left the resident ' s room to
get help and called EMS from the nursing station. During this time, LPN #101 stated she asked LPN #102
to check on Resident #94 to verify there was no pulse. LPN #101 stated she did not administer oxygen or
start CPR because as soon as she started back into the room, EMS had arrived. LPN #101 stated that she
was unsure of how many minutes passed from the time she was notified by STNA #100 of Resident #94
being unresponsive until EMS arrived, but that it felt like a matter of minutes. LPN #101 verified Resident
#94 was a full code and CPR should have been administered. An additional interview on [DATE] at 2:23
P.M. with LPN #101 verified her nursing progress note, dated [DATE] at 5:22 A.M., contained a
documentation error. LPN #101 indicated Resident #94 did not have any vital signs on EKG as indicated in

getting residents up when she noticed, from the doorway, that Resident #94 was uncovered. STNA #100
stated she walked into the room to check on the resident and noticed the resident was not moving, and her
hand was cold. STNA #100 attempted to contact LPN #101 on her handheld, two-way radio, without
success, and then went to get her on the 100 Hallway. STNA #100 revealed she did not return to Resident
#94 ' s room because she stayed at the door awaiting EMS.
During interview on [DATE] at 12:18 P.M., Regional RN #207 revealed the facility knew this incident was an
issue and stated they identified it immediately after CPR was not initiated on Resident #94 who was a full
code.
During interview on [DATE] at 6:08 P.M., LPN #102 stated Resident #94 was not provided CPR and that
she did not obtain any vital signs because the resident was unresponsive and cold. This surveyor asked
LPN #102 if CPR should have been initiated for Resident #94 after being found unresponsive and without a
pulse. LPN #102 stated yes, CPR should have been started and that she knows that now, after receiving
the facility in-service education on CPR.
During interview on [DATE] at 11:22 A.M., Physician #301 stated that although he was unsure if Resident
#94 would have survived CPR efforts, it was unfortunate the staff did not follow the resident's advanced
directive order.
Review of the facility undated policy titled, Code Status, revealed in accordance with the State of Ohio Do
Not Resuscitate (DNR) Comfort Care Protocol the facility would ensure a resident ' s wishes were carried
out as they desire. Every effort to maintain a resident ' s wishes and dignity would be carried out as
requested by the resident/or resident representative or family. Full Code was when a resident was identified
as a full code and the facility staff would provide emergent measures in attempt to resuscitate the patient.
This may involve chest compressions, electric shocks, and emergency medications that act to temporarily
keep blood moving to essential organs such as the brain. All measures would be attempted to maintain the
resident.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure antibiotic
stewardship guidelines were followed prior to antibiotic use. This affected one (Resident #299) of one
resident reviewed for antibiotic stewardship. The census was 100.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
Resident #299 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses were sepsis, rectal abscess, difficulty
walking, type II diabetes, muscle weakness, chest pain, obesity, anemia, vitamin D deficiency, tobacco use,
hypertension, major depressive disorder, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and headache. Review of her
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 08/14/23, revealed she was cognitively intact.
Review of Resident #299 physician orders revealed she was prescribed Doxycycline Hyclate Oral Tablet
100 milligrams, twice daily for seven days. Initially, this medication justification was for infection, but then it
was clarified to be for an abscess to her buttocks.
Review of Resident #299 medication administration record (MAR), dated August 2023, confirmed she was
administered the Doxycycline twice daily as ordered.
Review of Resident #299 and facility infection control documentation and progress notes, dated 08/25/23 to
08/29/23, revealed Resident #299 had a McGeer's assessment completed on 08/29/23. According to facility
documentation, she did not meet criteria for an antibiotic, which was relayed to the nurse practitioner on
that same day. The nurse practitioner decided to keep her on this medication for the remainder of the order.
There was no documentation prior to 08/29/23 to determine if or what type of antibiotic should be used for
her infection.
Interview with Regional Nurse #206 and Regional Nurse #207 on 08/30/23 at 9:35 A.M. both stated they
have to follow the antibiotic stewardship policy prior to ordering/administering an antibiotic. They both
agreed that doxycycline was ordered prior to McGeer's assessment being completed for Resident #299.
Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #160 on 08/30/23 at 11:13 A.M. confirmed McGeer's was not
completed prior to the ordered/administering of Doxycycline for Resident #299. She confirmed she is the
person who does the McGeer's assessment and was not in the building during the time it was initially
ordered/administered.
Review of facility Antibiotic Stewardship policy, dated December 2017, revealed the CDC has reported that
antibiotic resistance is one of the major threats to human health, especially because some bacteria have
developed resistance to all known classes of antibiotics. The antibiotic stewardship team will review
infections and monitor antibiotic usage patterns on a quarterly basis, obtain and review various reports from
pharmacy for institutional trends, monitor antibiotic resistance patterns and report on number of antibiotics
prescribed and the number of residents treated each month. Facility will evaluate and communicate clinical
signs and symptoms when a resident is first suspected of having an infection. Use of diagnostic testing to
optimize tracking and treatment of infections. A method of flagging residents with multidrug-resistant
organisms will be instituted by the laboratory.
