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, interview, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure Resident #31's advance
directives in the medical record and physician orders matched. The facility also failed to ensure the nurse
had knowledge of which code status to follow. This affected one resident (#31) out of four residents
reviewed for advance directives and had the potential to affect all 50 residents residing in the facility.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #31 revealed an admission date of [DATE] with diagnoses
including obstructive pulmonary disease with exacerbation, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, seizure
disorder, dementia, and schizophrenia.
Review of the undated Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Comfort Care form completed by Nurse Practitioner #701
revealed Resident #31 code status was DNR Comfort Care. This form was in the miscellaneous section of
Resident #31's electronic medical record.
Review of the nursing note dated [DATE] at 10:30 A.M. authored by Former Director of Nursing (DON) #700
revealed during a quarterly care plan meeting, Resident #31 stated he wanted his code status to be
changed to a Full Code.
Review of the care plan dated [DATE] revealed Resident #31 wanted his code status to be Full Code.
Interventions included advance directives would be placed on the chart, call emergency rescue squad if
needed, code status would be reviewed quarterly and as needed, staff to initiate cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) until emergency services arrived, and staff would notify the physician of the residents'
wishes.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #31 had
intact cognition.
Review of the [DATE] physician's orders revealed Resident #31 had an order dated [DATE] to be a Full
Code.
Interview on [DATE] at 8:29 A.M. with Resident #31 revealed at first, he was not sure what a DNR was, but
after the facility explained what it was, he stated he wanted to be resuscitated (Full Code).
Interview on [DATE] at 8:41 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #535 was asked if she found a
resident unresponsive, where she would go to find the resident's code status. She stated she would look in
the physician's orders as everyone had an order regarding their code status or she would look in the
miscellaneous section of the electronic medical record because DNR forms were located in this area. She
was asked what she would do if the order in the physician's orders did not match what she found in the
miscellaneous section, and she stated she would go by the state DNR form because that would be the
most accurate.
Interview on [DATE] at 10:11 A.M. with the DON verified Resident #31's physician order dated [DATE]

revealed Resident #31 was to be a Full Code and in the electronic record miscellaneous section, the form
indicated he was to be a DNR-Comfort Care. The DON did not have an explanation why the code statuses
did not match.
Interview on [DATE] at 12:00 P.M. the DON provided a nursing note dated [DATE] at 10:28 A.M. that
Resident #31 had a care plan meeting, and Resident #31 wanted to change his code status to Full Code.
The DON was informed of an interview with LPN #535 who stated she would have checked the physician
orders and the miscellaneous section of the electronic medical record, and if she found a DNR form, she
would have gone by the state form, not the physician order. The DON revealed the DNR form remains in the
miscellaneous section even if revoked. The DON the facility policy did not reflect what steps the nurse was
to follow if they found a resident unresponsive, including where to check for the correct code status, and
she had no documented evidence of staff training. She stated she would start training immediately as she
verified this could lead to a nurse not following the correct code status chosen by the resident and/or the
resident's family.
Review of the undated facility policy labeled; Advance Directives revealed the facility would inform the
residents about initiating an advance directive, and the facility would maintain written standards and
practice guidelines regarding advance directives to assure that the residents' wishes were honored. The
facility staff would explain to the residents their right to make health care decisions, including the right to
make an advance directive. The facility would document in the clinical record whether the resident executed
an advance directive. The facility staff would be provided with education at least annually. The policy
revealed the physician would write an appropriate order for the resident related to the advanced directive,
and all pertinent information related to advance directives would be documented in the clinical record.
There was nothing in the policy regarding where a nurse should go to check if a resident was found
unresponsive to find their code status: physician order or miscellaneous section of the electronic medical
record and/or what code status to follow.

Interview on 10/17/24 at 8:22 A.M. with Resident #144 revealed he did not know why, but Resident #38, his
roommate, just walked into the room when he was in bed and threw coffee on his left arm and hair. He
stated, yes, it was hot it did not leave a mark, but it burned when Resident #38 first threw the coffee on him.
He stated, out of the blue, his roommate threw coffee all over him and that it scared him as he was just
lying in bed and cannot really go anywhere because he cannot get out of bed by himself. He was asked if
he felt the incident was abusive in nature and he stated, well how would you feel, would you not feel it was
abusive, I mean, how would you like a whole cup of coffee dumped on you for no reason. Resident #144
verified he felt the incident was abusive in nature.
Interview on 10/17/24 at 11:11 A.M. with the Administrator revealed she was informed of the
resident-to-resident incident between Resident #38 and Resident #144. She stated they were roommates
and both in their room when Resident #38 spilled coffee on Resident #144 while he was in bed. She had

incident as abusive in nature.
Interview on 10/17/24 at 11:21 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed she interviewed Resident
#38 after the incident on 10/16/24, and he was ranting with a flight of thought. He used the word revenge

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
the medical record for Resident #148 revealed an admission date of 09/24/24 with diagnoses including
hypertension, diabetes, acute myocardial infarction, and atrial fibrillation.
Review of the laboratory work revealed on 09/26/24 Resident #148's prothrombin time (PT) was 22 and his
international normalized ratio (INR) was 2.1. Primary Care Physician (PCP) #702 reviewed and ordered no
new orders. Resident #148 then refused his PT/ INR lab work on 10/03/24, 10/08/24, 10/10/24, 10/14/25,
and 10/17/24 resulting in PCP #702 changing his anti-coagulant (medication that increase the time it takes
for blood to clot) from coumadin to Eliquis.
Review of the admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #148 had impaired cognition.
He was dependent on staff for most of his activities of daily living (ADL) including toileting, transfers, and
showers. He was on an anti-coagulant medication.
Review of the October 2024 physician orders revealed Resident #148 was on an anticoagulant since
admission: Coumadin 5 mg one tablet every night due to atrial fibrillation which was discontinued on
10/18/24 and changed to Eliquis (anti-coagulant) 5 mg twice a day. He was to have a PT/ INR (lab)
completed every Monday and Thursday.
Interview on 10/17/24 at 3:17 P.M. with Regional MDS Nurse/RN #567 verified Resident #148 did not have
an anti-coagulant therapy care plan in place including interventions to monitor any adverse side effects
and/or medication management. She revealed the former MDS nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)/
MDS #572 was no longer employed less than 24 hours ago and was unsure why there was no care plan
but there should have been.
Interview on 10/17/24 at 3:55 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified Resident #148 did not have
an anti-coagulant care plan, and he should have had one, especially since he had been refusing his lab
work to monitor his PT/ INR levels and was at risk for adverse effects including bleeding.
Review of the undated facility policy labeled, Care Plan and Advance Care Plan Process revealed the
interdisciplinary team would coordinate with the resident and/or their responsible party to participate in an
appropriate care plan for the residents needs or wishes specific to person centered care. The plan of care
identifies the date, problem, measurable and realistic goals, time frames for achievement and specific
interventions.
Based on record review, interview, and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure accurate care plans
were in place for Residents #19 and #148. This affected two residents (#19 and #148) of four residents who
were reviewed for care plans. This had the potential to affect all 50 residents residing in the facility.
Findings include:

ensure enhanced barriers precautions (EBP) were followed for one resident (Resident #194) of nine
residents who were identified by the facility as being on EBP (Residents #6, #12, #21, #26, #34, #35, #193,
#194, and #196). The facility also failed to ensure annual tuberculosis (TB) signs and symptoms for
employes were completed per the TB risk assessment and policy. This had the potential to affect all 50
residents in the facility. The facility census was 50.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
1. A review of medical records for Resident #194 revealed an admission date of 10/08/24 with diagnoses
included cerebral infarction with hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting the right dominant side, need for
assistance with personal care, and ulcerative colitis.
Review of physician orders for October 2024 included check placement of gastric tube every shift, cleanse
gastric tube daily and as needed, change end cap to midline daily and as needed and total parenteral
nutrition (TPN) to run over 16 hours from 8:00 P.M. until 12:00 P.M. daily.
Review of an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was
cognitively intact.
Review of a nurse practitioner note dated 10/15/24 revealed the gastric tube was intact and clamped a
central line with TPN running to the upper left chest.
Review of the care plan dated 10/08/24 revealed Resident #194 was at risk for infection related to the
gastric tube and TPN. Interventions included to maintain EBP.
On 10/16/24 at 11:15 A.M. observation of the room for Resident #194 revealed signage for EBP to be
maintained. There was a well-stocked cart with proper personal protective equipment (PPE).
On 10/16/24 at 11:20 A.M. observation of incontinence care for Resident #194 revealed Certified Nurse
Assistant (CNA) #531 rendered care without donning a gown.
On 10/16/24 at 11:30 A.M. an interview with CNA #531 verified a gown was not donned while incontinence
care was rendered to Resident #194. An interview with License Practical Nurse (LPN) #501 who was the
infection control nurse, verified Resident #194 was on EBP and a gown should have been worn to render
incontinence care.
A review of the policy titled; Enhanced Barrier Precautions dated 03/2024 revealed residents with the
following triggers will receive EBP and it should be followed for any resident in the facility with wounds
and/or an indwelling medical device. Indwelling medical devices may include central lines, urinary
catheters, feeding tubes and tracheostomies. The policy further stated EBP was to be used in conjunction
with standard precautions and requires use of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities.
Examples of high contact resident care activities requiring a gown and glove use include changing briefs or
assisting with toileting.

Homes revealed CMS was issuing new guidance for [NAME] survey agencies and long-term care facilities
on the use of enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) to align with nationally accepted standards. EBP
recommendations now included use of EBP's for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical
devices during high-contact resident care activities regardless of their multi-drug-resistant organism

status. The new guidance related to EBP's was being incorporated into F880 Infection Prevention and
Control. Guidance under F880 indicated EBP's referred to an infection control intervention designed to
reduce transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDRO) that employs targeted gown and glove use
during high contact resident care activities. EBP's were to be used in conjunction with standard precautions
and expand the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to donning of gown and gloves during
high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDRO's to staff hands and
clothing.

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observation, interview and review of facility policy the facility did not ensure a safe, functional and
comfortable environment for all residents. This had the potential to affect all 50 residents residing in the
facility.
Findings include:
Observation on 10/21/24 from 11:15 A.M. to 11:27 A.M. with Maintenance Director( MD) #526 revealed the
following which were verified by MD #526 at the time of the observation:
•
Resident #148's side rail was breaking off the bed and able to be pulled off the side of the bed.
•
A corroded hole in the ceiling leading into the 100 hall was found to be open. MD #526 indicated that the
hole was caused by water leaking from the roof and reported that he did not have the necessary materials
to repair it. The hole was large enough to allow potential pests such as insects or rodents to enter the
hallway in resident occupied areas.
•
The 100 hall contained a hole measuring 4.5 inches across and 2.5 inches wide with sharp edges exposed.
The hole was at the level where a resident passing by could make bodily contact with the sharp edges. MD
#526 indicated the hole resulted from heavy items bumping into the railing and suggested that pushing in
the sharp edges would better protect the residents from scrapping their skin.
•
The corner of C hall transition to the B hall revealed a ripped corner molding had caused a sharp piece of
the wall to be exposed and stick out. The sharp piece of wall was at the level where a resident passing by, if
they bumped into it, could make bodily contact with the sharp piece.
•
The floor strip leading into Resident #148's room was not glued to the floor causing a tripping hazard.
Review of facility policy titled Housekeeping Procedure, dated 12/28/13, revealed the facility would be
maintained to meet a home like environment for residents
