Honor the resident's right to be treated with respect and dignity and to retain and use personal
possessions.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one of three residents sampled for patient rights
(Resident 1) was treated with dignity and respect when the Marketing Director (MD) had spoken with
Resident 1 on the phone with the hospice nurse (HN) available and stated, What the hell are you doing. We
would've never brought you back if we knew you weren't going on hospice. Nobody wants you here,
This resulted in Resident 1 becoming tearful and had the potential to result in psychosocial harm.
Findings:
A review of a facility policy titled, Resident Rights, with a revised date of [DATE], indicated, Our facility will
make every effort to assist each resident in exercising his/her rights to assure that the resident is always
treated with respect, kindness, and dignity.
A review of the facility's records indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included morbid obesity (a disorder that involves having too much body fat, which increases the risk of
health problems), obstructive sleep apnea (sleep disorder with recurrent episodes of complete or partial
blockage of the upper airway during sleep, leading to reduced or absent breathing), other abnormalities of
gait and mobility, generalized muscle weakness, acquired absence of right leg above knee, chronic pain
syndrome, and unspecified depression (symptoms of depression).
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:45 PM with Resident 1's power of attorney (POA), she stated the
Marketing Director (MD) had spoken with Resident 1 on the phone with the hospice nurse (HN) available
and stated, What the hell are you doing. We would've never brought you back if we knew you weren't going
on hospice. Nobody wants you here, which caused Resident 1 to cry. POA stated that after speaking to
Resident 1 he stated he did not have a POLST filled out but did not want to die, but did not want full
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), so he had picked selective treatment. She stated that she
requested for a POLST form and was met with comments that stated Resident 1 is supposed to go onto
hospice, and he would not need a POLST. POA stated that once Resident 1 was sent to the hospital on
[DATE] at 5:50 AM, the facility informed POA that Resident 1 had his POLST sent to the hospital with him;
however, upon arrival to the hospital she found Resident 1 intubated and being transferred to the ICU. POA
stated, How is it that days later they didn't have that signature on the POLST.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:30 PM with the hospice liaison (HL), she stated the MD was on the
phone with Resident 1 and stated, The only reason I brought you back was because you said you were
going to go on hospice, and further stated that the hospice staff took the phone away from Resident 1
because it was not okay to speak with him that way. HL stated after she spoke with Resident 1 he

did agree to hospice after a consult, but did not want to start hospice at the facility because he did not feel
safe, we then updated his POLST. HL stated the POLST was never signed by his provider, and he had a
medical emergency that resulted in CPR and being intubated. HL stated that the staff was not helpful and
unprofessional and initially refused to give him a POLST to fill out and stated he needs to go on hospice
and not deal with a POLST.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:45 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, she stated the, POLST
was not signed, by the medical provider, but it was signed by the resident as DNR selective. It wasn't
signed on the 20th, and stated how she has expressed her concerns to the medical provider. LVN 1 stated
the EMT's that arrived said Resident 1 will be considered full code (full resuscitation attempt) due to the
POLST not being signed by the medical provider. LVN 1 stated, Yes, they should, sign the POLST
immediately in some form, especially since Resident 1 had been declining. LVN 1 stated there was a lack in
the quality of care for Resident 1.
During an interview on [DATE] at 12:15 PM with MD, stated Resident 1 was supposed to be admitted to
hospice; however, according to them (the hospice nurse) determined that he was alert and oriented (of
sound mind) and he refused hospice at that time. MD, who confirmed she was a marketer with no medical
background, stated when she talked to him he seemed confused and not oriented. MD stated she felt that
Resident 1 needed hospice even though he was of sound mind at the time he refused hospice care. MD
stated she was talking to the hospice nurse over the phone on speaker with Resident 1 present and stated
that he was supposed to be on hospice as it was the plan and she did not want hospice to leave without
him signing up for hospice. MD stated she was upset that hospice left and didn't follow through with
Resident 1 and she did not feel that hospice offered all that they were supposed to offer him.
During an interview on [DATE] at 1:25 PM with Director of Nursing (DON), she stated that the resident had
a right to determine he did not want to go on hospice as he was oriented, which she had also verified. DON
stated that someone without a medical background should not be able to determine if a resident was
confused and not oriented.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement resident-directed care consistent preferences
and rights for one of three residents sampled for patient rights (Resident 1) when the facility did not
maintain a valid copy of Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST- a voluntary option for
people to use to communicate their end-of-life decisions) in Resident 1's medical record when transfer from
the facility via ambulance was made.

of nursing services or designee notifies the attending physician of advance directives (or changes in
advance directives) so that appropriate orders can be documented in the residents medical record and plan
of care . The plan of care for each resident is consistent with his or her documented treatment preferences

residents advance directive regarding treatment options and provide such personnel with a copy of the
advance directive or Physician orders for life-sustaining treatment (POLST) when transfer from the facility
via ambulance or other means is made.
A review of a facility policy titled, Resident Rights, with a revised date of [DATE], indicated, Our facility will
make every effort to assist each resident in exercising his/her rights to assure that the resident is always
treated with respect, kindness, and dignity.
A review of a facility policy titled, Do Not Resuscitate Order, with a revised date of [DATE], indicated, Do not
resuscitate (DNR, allow natural death) orders must be signed by the resident's attending physician . State
specific forms may be used to specify whether to administer CPR in case of a medical emergency.

that included morbid obesity (a disorder that involves having too much body fat, which increases the risk of
health problems), obstructive sleep apnea (sleep disorder with recurrent episodes of complete or partial
blockage of the upper airway during sleep, leading to reduced or absent breathing), other abnormalities of
gait and mobility, generalized muscle weakness, acquired absence of right leg above knee, chronic pain
syndrome, and unspecified depression (symptoms of depression).
A review of the facility's record POLST for Resident 1 indicated selective treatment (do not intubate, avoid
intensive care (ICU), comfort-focused care) was selected for Resident 1 with a DNR. The date the form was
prepared was on [DATE], and it was signed by Resident 1 on [DATE]. This form indicated that the Physician
(DR) signed the POLST on [DATE].
A review of the facility's progress note dated [DATE] at 7:51 AM, indicated, Resident was sent with face
sheet, medication summary, and POLST of DNR selective however it had pending provider's signature of
DNR elective. Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) stated, provider's signature is required, therefore
resident is considered full code. He left the facility . at 0550. POA was notified at 5:54 AM.
