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
interview, medical record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's code
status (level of medical interventions a patient wishes to have started if their heart or breathing stops)
matched the State of Ohio DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) document for Resident #48. This affected one of four
residents reviewed for advance directives. The facility census was 83.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #48 revealed an admission date of [DATE]. Diagnoses included
sepsis, urinary tract infection, obstructive and reflux uropathy, type two diabetes, chronic atrial fibrillation,
old myocardial infarction, abdominal aortic aneurysm, unspecified dementia, diverticulitis, cognitive
communication deficit, and dysphagia.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had
a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) of 11 indicating moderate cognitive impairment. She required the
extensive assistance of two staff members for bed mobility, transfers, toileting, and total dependence on
staff for bathing.
Review of Resident #48's chart revealed the facility form titled Advanced Directives dated [DATE]. This form
stated Resident #48 was a full code meaning that all life sustaining measures would be performed in the
event her heart or breathing would stop. Further review of the chart revealed a signed State of Ohio
DNR-CC (do not resuscitate-comfort care) form indicating in the event Resident #48's heart or breathing
stopped no life sustaining measures would be provided to the resident. This form was located on the back
side of the Advanced Directives page that stated Resident #48 was a full code. The DNR form was dated
[DATE].
Review of the physician orders for [DATE] identified an order dated [DATE] stating the resident was a full
code. A physician order dated [DATE] identified an order stating the resident was a DNR-CC.
Interview on [DATE] at 3:04 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified there was conflicting
information regarding code status in Resident #48's chart. The DON verified the first page in the chart
stated the resident was a full code, and the DNR form on the back of the page stated she was a DNR-CC.
Review of the facility policy titled Advance directives revised [DATE], revealed the Social Services Director
or designee would provide written information to the resident and or representative concerning the right to
make decisions and formulate advance directives and accept or refuse medical or
