**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure Resident #143's Advance
Directive (legal document outlining your future medical care in the event you cannot communicate them
yourself) code status was accurate. This affected one resident (#143) of three residents reviewed for code
status and had the potential to affect 52 residents (#4, #5, #8, #11, #12, #15, #16, #27, #29, #30, #32, #34,
#36, #37, #46, #47, #54, #57, #63, #65, #68, #70, #73, #76, #77, #87, #89, #90, #91, #92, #96, #99, #100,
#101, #103, #104, #105, #109, #110, #111, #112, #113, #114, #118, #119, #121, #122, #128, #133, #134,
#138 and #163) with an Advance Directive. The facility census was 143. Findings include: Review of the
medical record for Resident #143 revealed an admission date of [DATE] and a discharge date of [DATE].
Diagnoses included diabetes, dementia, muscle weakness, depression, and breast cancer.Review of the
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) evaluation dated [DATE] revealed Resident #143 was severely
cognitively impaired. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment was not yet due to be completed.Review of
the history and physical progress note dated [DATE] and authored by Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP)
#207 revealed Resident #143 was a Full Code (all possible measures are attempted to save a patient's life
during a medical emergency).Review of the multidisciplinary care conference dated [DATE] revealed
Resident #143 had a code status of Do not Resuscitate; Comfort Care (a type of Do-Not-Resuscitate order
indicating CPR should not be administered; DNRCC).Review of the nursing progress note dated [DATE] at
6:47 A.M. authored by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #203 revealed she was called to the room around
5:25 A.M. by the Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #210 because Resident #143 was unresponsive.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR; an emergency procedure for someone whose breathing or heartbeat
has stopped, involving chest compressions and rescue breaths to keep blood and oxygen flowing to vital
organs until medical help arrives) was initiated and an emergency code, as well as 911 was called, and the
residents' son/Power of Attorney (POA) were notified. When emergency services arrived, Resident's #143's
heart had stopped beating.Interview on [DATE] at 10:55 A.M. with LPN #203 revealed CNA #210 told her
Resident #143 was unresponsive, so she checked the resident's code status in the computer and found
nothing regarding Advanced Directives. She then checked the physical chart where she saw a yellow sheet
of paper in the front of the chart which was used to indicate the resident was a Full Code, at which time she
began CPR and contacted emergency services. She said she did not find out until a few days after
Resident #143 expired that she was a DNRCC.Interview on [DATE] at 11:26 A.M. with Resident #143
son/POA revealed Resident #143 was a DNRCC when she was admitted to the facility according to her
own wishes. He confirmed the facility had called him to notify him she had an emergency code and he
arrived within approximately half an hour, during which time the resident had already expired. He could not
confirm if the facility told him they had initiated CPR and whether or not they honored the resident's wishes
for her DNRCC.Interview on [DATE] at 1:28
