F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident's right to formulate an advance directive for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #44) reviewed for enactment of advance directives. The facility failed to ensure Resident #44 had the Out of Hospital Do Not Resuscitate (OOH-DNR) documentation in his electric record. This failure could put residents at risk of not having their OOH-DNR honored, resulting in receiving medical treatment they did not desire. The findings included: Record review of Resident #44's face sheet dated [DATE] revealed a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the primary diagnosis of dementia (a group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes with daily life). Record review of Resident #44's Care Plan, last revised on [DATE], revealed resident was a DNR. Record review of Resident #44's Physician Order Summary, dated [DATE], revealed the order DNR. Record review of Resident #44's electric record failed to have the Out of Hospital Do Not Resuscitate (OOH-DNR) documentation. In an interview on [DATE] at 10:57 AM, the MDS Coordinator looked in Resident #44's electronic records and said the advance directive was not in his documentation. In an interview on [DATE] at 2:08 PM, the Social Worker said it was her responsibility to ensure documentation of advanced directives were in the resident's electronic record. The Social Worker said she was recently hired, and she did not know why the OOH-DNR was not in Resident #44's electronic record. She said she would immediately get the required documentation completed. The Social Worker said a potential negative outcome would be Resident #44's end of life wishes might not get honored.

His annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] documented he had no Level II PASRR conditions. This failure placed the resident at risk for not receiving mental health services as needed. The findings included: Review of Resident #27's admission Record, dated 1/24/2024, revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included: post-traumatic stress disorder (mental health condition that develops following a traumatic event characterized by intrusive thoughts about the incident, recurrent distress/anxiety, flashback and avoidance of similar situations); bipolar disorder (mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs - mania or and lows - depression); anxiety disorder; and major depressive disorder, recurrent (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest).

In an interview on 01/24/24 at 1:43 PM, the MDS Coordinator said she was responsible for PASRR screenings at the time of the resident's admission due to there being no social worker. Resident #76's PASRR should have been updated at the time of admission but it was missed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents were free of a med error rate of 5% or greater (8%) for 2 (Residents #300 and #49) of 6 residents reviewed for medication administration. Residents Affected - Few 1. The facility failed to ensure RN F primed (removing air bubbles from the needle to ensure that the needle is open and working) insulin pen for Resident #300 before administering Lantus insulin. 2.
