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 all residents had the right to formulate an advanced
directive for 1 (Resident #39) of 16 residents reviewed for advanced directives.
Resident #39 had a DNR in his record with no date of when the physician signed the document.
The facility's failure to ensure the accuracy of a residents advanced directive such as a DNR (Do Not

relating to the provision of health care could place residents a risk for not receiving healthcare as per their
or their legal representatives wishes.

year-old male resident admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include cerebral infarct (occurs
as a result of disrupted blood flow to the brain due to problems with the blood that supplies it), metabolic
encephalopathy (a problem in the brain that causes a chemical imbalance in the brain), gastrostomy (an
opening into the stomach from the abdominal wall made surgically to introduce food), and hemiplegia
(paralysis on one side of the body).
Record review of the clinical record for Resident #39 revealed the last MDS completed was a quarterly on
1-20-2023 with a BIMS that required staff evaluation because he had memory issues and was unable to
complete the test due to memory issues. Resident #39 had a functional status indicating he required one to
two-person assistance with all activities. Resident #39 was also listed under section O Special Treatments,

Order Summary-DNR Active 10-19-2022
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of the clinical record for Resident #39's revealed a DNR (dated 10-29-2022 by the qualified
relative) in the miscellaneous section under the Advanced Directives. In the section for the Physicians
Statement the physician's signature, printed name, and license number was present but there was no date
of when the physician signed the document.
Record review of the clinical record for Resident #39 revealed under the miscellaneous section under
Hospice Intake was a DNR (dated 10-29-2022 by the qualified relative). This DNR also had no date of when
the physician signed the document.
During an interview on 02-24-2023 at 08:49 AM LVN A reported that if Resident #39 coded she would first
assess the resident to confirm that he had coded and since he was a DNR she would notify the hospice
nurse and follow her instructions, that she would not code him, she would not initiate CPR. LVN A reported
that she would verify his code status in his hospice book, the facility DNR book, or on the computer system.
LVN A checked Resident #39's in the facility's DNR book and found Resident #39's DNR. LVN A reviewed
the DNR and reported that it was valid. When asked when the physician signed the DNR LVN A reviewed
the DNR again and stated, Oh, it does not have a date of when the doctor signed it. LVN A then reported
that Resident #39 did not have a valid DNR and that if Resident #39 coded at this time she would get the
crash cart and start CPR.
During an interview on 02-24-2023 at 10:06 AM LVN A reported that if a DNR was incorrect then a
residents or family's wishes may not be followed, and it could result in a lawsuit.
During an interview on 02-24-2023 at 09:21 AM the DON verified that Resident #39 was on hospice and
was a DNR. The DON reviewed Resident #39's DNR and reported that it was not valid due to not having a
date when the physician signed the DNR. The DON reported that they would get it corrected immediately.
The DON reported that an invalid DNR can cause issued if the doctor. did not recognize it as valid DNR
once activated, the family could say it was not valid if activated, and it could cause issues with the residents
wishes. The DON reported that the part time Social Worker was responsible for reviewing all DNR's for
correctness.
During an interview by phone on 02-24-2023 at 09:05 AM the Social Worker verified that she was the part
time Social Worker for the facility. The Social Worker verified that she would review all DNR's for the facility
and that she usually reviews each form line by line and that Resident #39 was one of many and she just
missed that the physician did not date the form. The Social Worker reported that an incorrect DNR can
result in the resident or family not having their wishes followed.
Record review of facility provided policy titled Do Not Resuscitate Order, with the date of revision

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review; it was determined the facility failed to ensure
medications were stored in accordance with currently accepted professional principles on 1 (100/500 Hall
Medication cart) of 3 medication carts reviewed for medication storage.
5 loose medications were observed in the bottom of the second drawer of the 100/500 Hall medication cart
The facility's failure to ensure medications were stored in accordance with currently accepted professional
principles could place residents receiving medication at risk for administration of medication incorrectly or
missing doses of medications that could result in ineffective treatment and/or exacerbation of the disease
process.
Findings include:
During an observation on 02-23-2023 at 09:41 AM of the 100/500 Hall medication cart 5 loose pills were
noted in the bottom of the second drawer. The observation was completed with LVN A present. LVN A was
asked by this surveyor to gather all 5 loose pills and have them identified.
On 02-23-2023 at 09:57 AM LVN A reported that the 5 loose pills had been identified as Allopurinol (used
to treat Gout/high uric acid), Lisinopril (used to treat high blood pressure), Ropinirole (used to treat
Parkinson's-a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors),
Carbamazepine (anticonvulsant-used to prevent or reduce the severity of epileptic fits of other convulsions),
and Furosemide (Diuretic-used to treat fluid retention).
During an interview on 02-23-2023 at 10:02 AM LVN A (the nurse responsible for the 100/500 Hall
medication cart this shift) reported that the 5 loose pills were an issue because residents could have a bad
reaction to the medications meaning that they could receive the wrong medications if the nurses would not
check the back of the pill cards for loose pills that stick and do not get administered. LVN A feels that
residents could miss doses of medications and that it could affect their condition. LVN A reported that the
nurses are supposed to check their carts every shift, but she got busy this shift and did not have time to
check the cart.
During an interview on 02-23-2023 at 10:13 AM ADON B verified that she was responsible for checking the
carts daily, that she checked them Monday and they were good, that the facility had a call-in Tuesday, and
she did not have time due to working the floor, and with the survey she had been busy and did not get to
check the carts. ADON B reported that usually she would not find any issues and the five loose pills were
abnormal. ADON B did feel that 5 loose pills were an issue and was not acceptable. ADON B reported that
the facility would not be aware if the residents received their needed medications. ADON B reported that if
a resident did not receive one medication dose it would probably not affect their treatment or care but that
the residents do need their medications. ADON B reported that the facility would address the issue of the
loose pills.
During an interview on 02-24-2023 at 10:08 AM the DON reported that the facility had the night shift check
each cart each shift for cleanliness and loose medications and the ADON does an audit of each cart on
Mondays and that due to this process this facility does not have any issues with the
