Based on record review, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #40's advance directives were accurately reflected in the resident's medical record (the physician's orders and care plan were different). This affected one resident (#40) of one resident reviewed for advance directives. Findings include: Review of medical record for Resident #40 revealed an admission date of 09/30/21 with diagnoses including dementia, hypertension, spinal stenosis, and depression. Review of comprehensive care plan, dated 10/31/21 revealed Resident #40 wished to have her advanced directives honored as she was a Full Code. Review of a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) form for Resident #40 located in her medical record revealed on 11/30/21 Primary Care Physician (PCP) #900 signed a DNR Comfort Care- Arrest advance directive form for the resident. No other DNR forms were noted in the resident's medical record. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 06/14/22 revealed Resident #40 was rarely or never understood.

On 09/07/22 at 2:06 P.M. interview with the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)/Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator verified the comprehensive care plan for Resident #40 was inaccurate as her advance directives should have been a DNR Comfort Care- Arrest not a Full Code. Review of facility policy titled Advance Directives Policy Statement, dated January 2015 revealed any changes of an advance directive must be submitted in writing to the Administrator and/or Director of Nursing who would submit the changes to the care plan team for adjustments to the resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) and care plan.
