This failure resulted in medical interventions for CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - an emergency technique combining chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain blood flow and oxygen to the brain and vital organs when someone's heart has stopped (cardiac arrest) and defibrillation (uses an electrical shock inside or outside the body to stop an abnormal heart rhythm in the heart's ventricles to allow the heart to start a normal rhythm again) on Resident 2 which were not requested. During a review of Resident 2's admission record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 2 was originally admitted [DATE], initially admitted on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE] and discharged to the hospital on [DATE]. AR indicated Resident 2 was self-responsible.During a review of Resident 2's Statement of Resident Capacity (SRC) dated [DATE], the SRC indicated Resident 2 had capacity and had been informed of their condition.During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 1:48 p.m. with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 2.

DON stated that when the patient came from the hospital, he did not have a POLST that was sent with him and the facility did not have one completed.During an interview on [DATE] at 5:26 p.m. with DON, DON stated they were supposed to follow the DNR order (a specific physician's order to withhold CPR if the heart or breathing stops) since there was no POLST.During a concurrent interview (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
