Findings include: A facility policy entitled, Advanced Directives dated [DATE], indicated the following: -upon admission the resident and/or representative will be provided with written information concerning the right to refuse or accept medical or surgical treatment and to formulate an Advanced Directive if he or she chooses to do so. - prior to or upon admission the Social Services Director or designee will inquire of the resident, his/her family members and/or his or her legal representative about the existence of any written advanced directives. - the Social Services (or designee) will document in the medical record the offer to assist and the resident's decision to accept or decline assistance. - the resident's attending physician will clarify and present any relevant medical issues and decisions to the resident or legal representative as the resident's condition changes to clarify and adhere to the resident's wishes. Resident R36's clinical record revealed an admission date of [DATE], with diagnoses that included pervasive developmental disorder (developmental delay that affects social and communication skills), unspecified psychosis (diagnosis used when there isn't enough information to diagnose a specific psychotic disorder), difficulty speaking, and dementia with agitation. The clinical record also included a physician's order dated [DATE], that identified Resident R36 as a Full Code (medical directive that indicates that a patient wants to receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR] and all other medical treatment to save their life if their heart and lungs stop working). Further review of Resident R36's clinical record revealed that the facility failed to comprehensively address the formulation of advance directives instructions regarding his/her preferences for medical care if he/she was unable to make decisions.
