During an interview on 01-22-2025 at 02:51 PM, LVN G and ADON B were present. Both staff reported that
Resident #21 was a DNR and that if Resident 21 was found without a heart rate or respirations they would
not initiate CPR. ADON B reviewed Resident #21's DNR and stated, This is not a valid DNR because the
witnesses signed the form before anyone else. LVN G reviewed the form and stated, The people who
witnessed, witnessed before anybody else signed the form. LVN G reported that she would immediately
take the DNR to the social worker for correction. ADON B reported that if a resident had a DNR that was
not valid then the staff would have to code the resident and go against that resident or the resident's
family's wishes. LVN G reported that the facility possibly would not code a resident that should have been
coded.
During an interview on 01-23-2025 at 09:48 AM the DON reported that witnesses should never sign a DNR
until all other signatures are completed. The DON reported that if a witness signs a DNR before the
resident, family, MPOA, or POA then the form was invalid and the resident would not be a DNR, the
resident would be a full code and the resident or the family's wishes would not be honored which could
affect that residents care.
During an interview on 01-23-2025 at 12:26 PM the SW reported that she did not know why Resident #21's
DNR was incorrectly completed, that they checked the DNR's each time they had care plan conferences
but that they did not review the dates on the DNRs, just that the DNR's were dated, and all the required
signatures were present. The SW reported that they were going to implement a new procedure that
included checking the dates when the signatures were provided. The SW reported that the facility did not
complete Resident #21's DNR form, that the resident's FM O completed the form, and she did not know
why FM O had the witnesses sign the form first. The SW reported that neither of the witnesses for Resident
#12's DNR form were affiliated with the facility. The SW reported that if the DNR was not completed
correctly then it was not valid, and the resident would not receive the care they wished to have.
Record review of the facility provided policy titled Advanced Directives revision 10-1-2020, revealed the
following:

writing care plans. They stated they did not know why Resident #92's care plan said he was to be assisted
to eat and encouraged to eat in the dining room and to have snack. MDS LVN stated that information must
be dietary care plan, I may have not looked it (dietary care plan) over. MDS RN stated a possible negative
outcome of an inaccurate medical record was somebody actually feeding him when he is NPO. MDS LVN
stated a possible negative outcome of an inaccurate care plan was the resident might receive
care/treatment that was contraindicated. MDS RN and MDS LVN stated they looked at a resident's orders,
progress notes, and vital signs when completing MDS assessments to ascertain whether the resident was
receiving O2. When asked why Resident #68's care plan did not mention his oxygen therapy they stated
they were not sure. MDS LVN stated a possible negative outcome of an inaccurate care plan was there
would be no communication between different nurses as far as consistency in care if (the treatment was)
not in (the) care plan.

During an observation and interview on 01/23/25 at 09:52 AM LVN D, a nurse on Resident #68 and
Resident #246's hall, stated nurses were responsible for setting oxygen levels based on physician's orders.
When asked to find the orders for Resident #68 and Resident #246 he sat down at his computer and began
to search. After 2-3 minutes had passed, LVN D stated he could not find the orders for either Resident. He
stated, Neither one is in the system. LVN D stated a possible negative outcome of administering oxygen
therapy without a physician's order was hyperoxygenation (condition where the body has too much oxygen
in its tissues and organs, can lead to oxygen toxicity), could create confusion.
During an interview on 01/23/25 at 09:57 AM MDS LVN and MDS RN stated care plans should include
details regarding oxygen therapy. They stated they looked in physician's orders, progress notes, and vital
signs in the EHR to determine if oxygen therapy should be included in care plan. MDS RN stated
administering oxygen therapy without a physician's order could negatively affect a resident. MDS LVN
stated, Acting without physician's orders . is not a good thing.
During an interview on 01/23/25 at 10:10 AM ADON B stated nurses were responsible to set oxygen levels
according to physician orders. She stated she did not know why Resident #68 and Resident #246 were
receiving oxygen without physician's orders. She stated the facility had standing orders for oxygen from 2-4
lpm for oxygen saturations below 90%. ADON B stated receiving oxygen without orders could negatively
affect a resident. She stated, Not everybody needs oxygen, there is such a thing as too much oxygen. If
they are breathing fine on their own, it is not good for them to have oxygen.
During an interview on 01/23/25 at 10:23 AM DON stated nurses were responsible for setting oxygen
levels. She stated they knew what level to set the oxygen to by referring to physician's orders. She stated a
resident receiving oxygen without physician's orders could experience hypoxia (not enough oxygen in the
body) or a change in mental status. She stated the facility did not have standing orders for oxygen because
she did away with them. She stated, We really don't do standing orders because everybody is an individual
and I do not like them (standing orders). They (facility) had them in the past, but I said, 'No.'

responsibility to make sure that orders were in place and correct when the resident was admitted . LVN G
stated a possible negative outcome for not having correct orders for a resident could be that staff would not
know Resident #79 was receiving catheter care or they would not check on his catheter to see if there was
an issue with it.

to eat and encouraged to eat in the dining room and to have snack. MDS LVN stated that information must
be dietary care plan, I may have not looked it (dietary care plan) over. The MDS RN stated a possible
negative outcome of an inaccurate medical record was somebody actually feeding him when he is NPO.
The MDS LVN stated a possible negative outcome of an inaccurate medical record was the resident might
receive care/treatment that was contraindicated.
During an interview on 01/23/25 at 10:10 AM ADON B stated ADON A was over Resident #92's hall.
During an interview on 01/23/25 at 10:13 AM, ADON B stated that it was her responsibility or the other
ADON to put orders in the EHR's of the residents. ADON B stated that once a week she meets with the
DON and the wound care nurse to make sure orders were up to date and correct. ADON B stated a
possible negative outcome for not having orders in a resident's chart could be medication errors and just a
lot of errors could happen as a result.
During an interview on 01/23/25 at 10:14 AM ADON A stated Resident #92 was not to be assisted to eat
because he has problems swallowing. She stated a possible negative outcome of inaccurate records was,
He can aspirate.
During an interview on 01/23/25 at 10:17 AM, the DON stated that there was a chain of command when it
comes to who puts the orders into the residents EHR's. She stated the floor nurse gets the orders and then
the ADON makes sure they are correct then all new orders are printed every morning and the ADON's go
over the orders with the nurses during the morning meeting. The DON stated a possible negative outcome
for not having orders for a resident who had a catheter could be problems with infection, pain, or
discomfort.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 (CNA H) of 5 staff observed
for resident care and 2 (Resident #79 and #18) of 24 residents observed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
CNA H did not change her gloves or wash her hands when providing incontinent care for Resident #18.
Resident #79's catheter bag was on the floor.
These failures have the potential to affect residents in the facility receiving incontinent care and/or having
catheters by exposing them to care that could lead to the spread of infections, tissue breakdown, and
feelings of isolation related to poor hygiene.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #79's face sheet, not dated, revealed an [AGE] year-old male who was admitted
to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include urinary tract infection, acute kidney failure, unspecified
dementia (cognitive loss), muscle weakness, and difficulty walking.
Record review of admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #79 had a BIMS score of 11
out of 15 which indicated resident's cognition was moderately impaired. In section GG 0100, Resident #79
was documented as independent in self-care, indoor mobility, stairs, and functional cognition. In section
GG0110, Resident #79 used none of the devices listed which were manual w/c, motorized w/c, mechanical
lift, walker, or orthotics/prosthetics.
Record review of a care plan for Resident #79 dated 11/12/24 revealed a focus area of Enhanced Barrier
Precautions due related to an indwelling catheter but nothing in his care plan that revealed he was
educated about his catheter bag and tubing being off the floor.
Record review of Resident #18's clinical record revealed she was an [AGE] year-old female resident
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include Alzheimer's (a progressive disease that
destroys memory and other important mental functions), and neurogenic bladder (the nerves and muscles

During an observation on 01/22/25 at 02:18 PM CNA H cleaned Resident #18's rectal area twice with
wipes, then each buttock with a wipe, then placed a new brief on the resident without changing her gloves
or washing her hands.
During an interview on 01/22/25 at 02:24 PM CNA H reported that she did not change her gloves after
cleaning the resident's rectal area and stated, she (the resident) had a little BM, and I should have changed
my gloves before placing the new brief to prevent contamination. CNA H reported that not completing
handwashing and glove changes correctly could result in the resident developing an infection.
During an observation on 01/22/25 at 2:40 PM, Resident #79 was in the rehabilitation room using an
exercise bike with his catheter bag in a privacy bag lying on the floor beside him.
During an interview and observation on 01/22/25 at 3:08 PM, Resident #79 stated that he had been
educated by the nursing staff to not put his catheter bag on the floor, especially in the dining room, but that
his family member spoke to a specialist, and he told his family member it was ok to have his catheter bag
on the floor. During the conversation with Resident #79, he demonstrated this by putting the catheter bag
on the floor and poking it with his cane during the interview.
During an interview on 01/22/25 at 3:40 PM, the ADM was asked for catheter care policy.

During an interview on 01/23/25 at 9:44 AM, RN I stated that Resident #79 had been educated many times
about having his catheter bag off the floor and that daily they have put the privacy bag back onto his
catheter bag because he had taken it off. RN I stated that the education for the resident would have been
documented in the nurse's notes and also in his care plan and that the DON, ADON, and the charge nurses
are responsible for documentation. RN I could not find documentation of education for Resident #79, she
stated that a possible negative outcome for not having documentation of education of resident would be
staff not knowing what care to provide to the resident. She stated a possible negative outcome for having
the catheter bag and tubing on the floor would be infections and dignity issues.
During an interview on 01/23/25 at 09:50 AM the DON reported that when providing incontinent care, she
expects her staff to provide handwashing and glove changes upon entering the resident's area for care,
between the dirty and clean portion of the care, and upon completing the resident's care. The DON
reported that if handwashing and glove changes were not completed correctly then infection control was
violated, and the resident would be at risk for infection.
During an interview on 01/23/25 at 10:17 AM, the DON stated that Resident #79 had been educated
