During an interview on [DATE] at 9:50 AM, LVN B looked in the electronic health record for Resident #4. LVN B said Resident #4 was a DNR. He looked at her care plan and said it indicated she was a full code and that was wrong. He said the care plan should indicate she was a DNR. He said the care plan should have been updated when Resident #4 got the DNR order and signed the OOH-DNR. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:55 AM, the ADON checked Resident #4's electronic chart and said Resident #4 was a DNR. She looked at the care plan and said the care plan indicated she was a DNR and had been updated today ([DATE]). The ADON was shown Resident #4's care plan from earlier today that indicated she was a full code. The ADON said a full code was wrong for Resident #4. She said the care plan for Resident #4 should have been updated on [DATE] when she got the order for the DNR and the OOH-DNR. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:28 AM, the MDS nurse looked at Resident 4's electronic chart and said she was a DNR. She looked at the care plan and said her care plan had been updated to a DNR today, [DATE]. She said she only worked 2 days per week. She said if the care plan indicated a full-code, it was wrong. She said the care plan should have indicated a DNR from the date Resident #4 got the DNR, ([DATE]). She said she was responsible for the mistake and should have caught it. She said the SW usually updated advance directives. She said she usually found out about a change from the DON or SW verbally or by email. The MDS nurse did not remember anyone telling her or sending an email indicating Resident #4 got a DNR on [DATE]. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:33 AM, the SW said she worked 2 days per week. She said if she had assisted with an advance directive, she would have care planned it. She said the DON or ADON would usually notify her if there was a change in a resident's advance directive. She said she did not know Resident #4 had gotten a DNR. She said she was responsible for making sure the advance directive was correct in the care plan. She said she did not work [DATE] and no one notified her of the change from a full code to a DNR. She said the person that assisted with the advance directive, the DON or ADON, should have let her know about a change. She said the DON would double check care plans to make sure they were correct. During an interview on [DATE] at 12:52 PM, the DON said she agreed that when surveyors entered the building the care plan for Resident #4 indicated a full code and that was wrong. She said she corrected the care plan on [DATE]. She said the care plan should have been changed to a DNR as soon as Resident #4 became a DNR on [DATE]. She said the person responsible for making sure the care plan was correct was her. She said she, the MDS nurse, and the SW worked on the care plans and somehow Resident #4's DNR got missed. She said there was not really a risk to the resident if the care plan was wrong because the book on the crash cart was correct and when her electronic record was pulled up it indicated Resident #4 was a DNR. She said in the event of a code (resident stopped breathing) nurses would not go to the care plan to check her status because they used the book on the crash cart which indicated she was a DNR. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:04 PM, the ADM said Resident #4's care plan should have been updated on [DATE], when she got the DNR. He said there was really not a risk to the resident, but the care plan documentation was incorrect. He said the crash cart book had her DNR correctly identified, and her electronic chart showed she was a DNR. He said if a resident coded, the nurses would look at the crash cart book which indicated she was a DNR. He said the final responsibility for the care plan being correct was the DON.
