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
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure there were accurate advance directive orders and
information in place throughout the medical records for Residents #13 and #68. This affected two (#13 and
#68) of 31 residents reviewed for advance directives. The facility census was 83.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #13's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and depression.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #13 was
cognitively intact.
Review of the physician's orders for Resident #13 revealed an order dated 12/13/24 for a Do Not
Resuscitate Comfort Care Arrest (DNRCC-A) (meaning invasive or extreme life-supporting measures were
allowed under any circumstance except for cardiac or respiratory arrest) code status.
Review of the electronic chart for Resident #13 revealed a DNRCC-A code status.
Review of the hard medical chart for Resident #13 revealed there was no code status in the hard chart.
An interview on 03/31/25 at 1:58 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #352 stated she would go to the hard
chart to see a signed copy of the advance directive if applicable. RN #352 verified Resident #13's hard
chart did not have a code status sheet and the electronic chart stated DNRCC-A for Resident #13.
2. Review of Resident #68's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including dementia, psychosis, and anxiety disorder.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #68 was rarely
understood.
Review of the physician's orders for Resident #68 revealed an order dated 12/13/24 for a Do Not
Resuscitate Comfort Care (DNRCC) code status (meaning only comfort measures would be initiated in the
event of a medical emergency).

Review of the electronic chart for Resident #68 revealed a DNRCC code status signed by the physician.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of the hard medical chart for Resident #68 revealed there was a DNR paper signed by the
physician, but it did not identify if Resident #68's wishes were DNRCC or DNRCC-A.
Residents Affected - Few
An interview on 03/31/25 at 1:58 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #352 stated she would go to the hard
chart to see a signed copy of the advance directive if applicable. RN #352 verified Resident #68's hard
chart had a signed DNR in her chart, but it wasn't marked DNRCC-A or DNRCC. RN #352 verified Resident
#68's electronic chart stated DNRCC.
An interview on 03/31/25 at 02:05 P.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) verified Resident #68's hard chart
had a signed DNR in her chart, but it wasn't marked DNRCC-A or DNRCC and the electronic chart stated
DNRCC. On 04/01/25 at 8:30 A.M., the DON brought a DNRCC which the resident's power of attorney
(POA) signed on 02/13/24. The DON stated it was in Resident 68's hard chart, that was thinned out by
medical records.
Review of the facility policy titled Residents' Rights: Treatment and Advanced Directives, updated 11/22/16,
revealed upon each resident admission, each resident would be provided with written information to
formulate an advanced directive. The policy identified documentation must be recorded in the medical
record of such a directive and a copy of the directive must be included in the resident's medical record.

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on record review, observation, staff interview, review of manufacturer instructions, review of
Medscape guidance, and policy review, the facility failed to prime an insulin pen per manufacturer
instructions prior to administration, resulting in a significant medication error. This affected one (Resident
#60) of five residents reviewed for medication administration. The facility identified 14 residents who
received insulin via a pen-injector. The facility census was 83.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #60 revealed an admission date of 11/04/24. Diagnosis included
type two diabetes mellitus with diabetic chronic kidney disease.
Review of the plan of care dated 11/20/24 revealed Resident #60 was at risk for hyper/hypoglycemia
related to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Intervention included to administer medications as ordered.
Review of the physician orders revealed Resident #60 was ordered Humalog 15 units subcutaneously via
pen injector, three times a day and Humalog sliding scale via a pen-injector before meals.
Observation on 04/01/25 at 7:21 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #354 administered seven
medications including Humalog to Resident #60. Resident #60's blood sugar was 185, indicating Resident
#60 required two additional units in addition to the scheduled 15 units. LPN #354 grabbed the pen-injector
and dialed up 17 units of Humalog. LPN #354 failed to prime the pen-injector removing any air before
administering insulin to Resident #60.
Interview on 04/01/25 at 7:25 A.M. with LPN #354 verified she did not prime the Humalog pen as she
should have. LPN #354 stated she was unaware of the need to prime the pen and she had learned
something new.
Review of the manufacturer instructions for Humalog KwikPen revealed the person should prime before
each injection. Priming ensures the Pen is ready to dose and removes air that may collect in the cartridge
during normal use. If you do not prime before each injection, you may get too much or too little insulin.
Review of the facility policy titled Insulin Administration dated 2017 noted insulin pens require priming or an
air-shot prior to administration.
Review of Medscape guidance titled Intermittent Insulin Injections Insulin Overview dated 11/05/20 and
located at https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2049311-overview#a1 revealed to avoid air and to
ensure proper dose, you will need to prime the syringe each time; to do this, dial two units; hold the pen
with the needle pointing up and tap the cartridge gently a few times to get rid of any air bubble; press the
push button all the way in until the dose selector returns to zero; a drop of insulin must appear at the needle
tip; if not, change the needle and repeat the procedure.
