Interview on 02/12/25 at 10:27 A.M. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #42, revealed she updated Resident #52's advance directive to reflect the DNR order. ADON #42 stated the hospice provider uploaded the DNR form into Resident #52's medical record, and the facility was unaware the change in advance directive had occurred.
