F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 medical record review, interview, and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure resident's wishes regarding advanced directives were accurate and clearly identified in a resident's medical record. This affected one resident (Resident #76) of five residents reviewed for advanced directives. The facility census was 113. Findings include: Review of Resident #76's medical record revealed an admission date of [DATE] and a facility re-entry date of [DATE] with diagnoses including myositis ossificans traumatica, adult failure to thrive, severe protein calorie malnutrition, anorexia, dementia, stage three chronic kidney disease, and longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation. Review of physician orders for Resident #76 dated [DATE] revealed a Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care Arrest (DNR CC-Arrest) order which instructed Do Not intubate Protocol is activated when the patient experiences cardiac or respiratory arrest and further clarifies all other necessary treatments should be initiated prior to arrest. Review of Resident #76's electronic medical record on [DATE] revealed no code status and no advanced directive paperwork and review of the hard chart revealed no indication of code status or documentation of advanced directives. Interview on [DATE] at 10:25 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #970 and Central Supply/Medical Records staff (CSMR) #912 confirmed resident code status and any advanced directive documents could be found in the front of the hard chart but both LPN #970 and CSMR #912 were unable to find it. CSMR #912 further confirmed she would be printing and placing a copy of Resident #76's DNRCC-Arrest paperwork in the hard chart and presented the surveyor with what she referred to as a unit report which contained resident code statuses and pointed out the nurses can see from this printed report that Resident #76 was a DNRCC-A. LPN #970 acknowledged she was aware of this form and noted it gets updated whenever the unit census changes. Interview on [DATE] at 10:40 A.M. with LPN #971 confirmed she would look at the order summary report for code status orders and follow accordingly if resident code status was not readily found in the front of the hard chart or profile in the electronic medical record. Interview on [DATE] at 03:17 P.M. with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #907 confirmed there was a printed nursing report on each nursing unit containing important resident information, including resident code statuses. Interview on [DATE] at 08:40 A.M. with Medication Technician #893 confirmed if she needed to know a resident code status, she could find it on the team report sheet, which she pulled out of a drawer on the unit to show the surveyor the report sheet contained code status orders for each unit resident. Interview on [DATE] at 09:57 A.M. with STNA #839 confirmed she did not know Resident #76's code status. When asked how she would find code status, she said to ask one of the nurses.

Review of admission paperwork from re-entry to the facility on [DATE] revealed hospital discharge orders indicated Resident #76 was a full code. Review of the undated Advanced Directive Procedure revealed the facility will determine whether the resident has any advanced directive upon admission, resident wishes will be communicated with facility staff, and all advanced directive document copies will be obtained and located with the resident's medical record.
