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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the right to formulate an advance directive was provided for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for resident rights. The facility did not have a DNR order when Resident #1 provided a copy of his Advanced Directive upon admission. The facility did not provide emergency medical technician and hospital personnel with any information relating to Resident #1's known existing advance directive. This failure could place residents at risk of lifesaving procedures being performed against their wishes resulting in bruising, broken ribs, electrical shocking of the heart, having a tube placed in the throat and provided artificial breathing methods, and possibly being brought back to life in an unaware and unresponsive state. Findings included: Record review of a face sheet dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 was an [AGE] year-old male who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Record review of Physician Orders dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 had diagnoses including hypertension (condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high), cerebral infarction (lack of adequate blood supply to brain cells deprives them of oxygen and vital nutrients which can cause parts of the brain to die off), hemiplegia (severe or complete loss of strength leading to paralysis on one side of the body and is usually the result of brain damage) affecting right dominant side, vascular dementia (a type of loss of cognitive functioning caused by conditions that damage blood vessels and block blood flow to your brain), and respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe on your own). The orders indicated he had an order dated [DATE] for Full Code Status. Record review of A Directive to Physicians and Family or Surrogates Advanced Directive signed by Resident #1 on [DATE] indicated: In addition to this advance directive, Texas law provides for two other types of directives that can be important during a serious illness. These are the Medical Power of Attorney and the Out-of- Hospital Do-Not-Resuscitate Order.
