LVN D reported that Resident #67's physician and legal guardian did not date the DNR form. Resident #34's did not have any physician's information to include the signature, date, printed signature, and license number, and there were no secondary signatures for any persons who signed the DNR form. When questioned LVN D reported that both Resident #34 and #67's forms were not correct and therefore invalid and that if Resident #34 and/or #67 coded then she would start CPR. LVN D reported that if the DNR forms are not correct the resident's wishes will not be followed. During an interview on 04-13-2023 at 02:39 PM the DON and RN A (Resource Nurse) reviewed Resident #34 and #67's DNR forms and verified that Resident #67 was missing the date of when the physician and legal guardian signed the forms and Resident #34 was missing the physician information and all the secondary signatures. They verified that the DNR forms were invalid. The DON reported that the Social Worker was responsible for ensuring DNR accuracy and that the Social Worker was a new employee and had not had time to be trained on the DNR process. The DON reported that if the DNR's were not filled out correctly then staff will not fallow the DNR process correctly and the residents wishes would not be followed. Both the DON and RN A reported that they would immediately start an in-service with staff and ensure that the two DNR's were corrected. The DON and RN A reported that at all Case Conference meetings each resident was asked if they wished to continue to be a DNR, but the DNR form was not reviewed. The DON reported that they will start pulling the DNR form and review the form at the Case Conference to ensure that it is complete and accurate.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed, based on a resident's comprehensive assessment, to ensure that a resident is offered a therapeutic diet when there is a nutritional problem, and the health care provider orders a therapeutic diet for 2 (Resident #23 and Resident #208) of 23 residents reviewed for nutrition.
Residents Affected - Few
Residents #23 and #208 had physician's orders for therapeutic diets, but the dietary staff did not have them listed as receiving therapeutic diets. This failure could place residents who are to receive therapeutic diets at risk of not receiving the diets as ordered and could result in health complications such as increased sugar, waste and build up in the blood stream due to inappropriate nutrition.
Findings included: Record review of Resident #23's face sheet, dated 04/14/23, revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with an initial admission date of 06/20/22. She was admitted with diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, type 2 diabetes, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, borderline personality disorder, Parkinson's disease, and morbid obesity. Record review of Resident #23's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS of 15 indicating her cognition was intact. She required supervision and no set up or physical help from staff in bed mobility, walking and locomotion, and toilet use. She required supervision and set up help with eating and limited to extensive one-person assistance with transfer, dressing, and personal hygiene. She was on a therapeutic diet while a resident. Record review of Resident #23's current physician's orders, dated 04/14/23, revealed an order for a CC/RCS (controlled carbs/reduced concentrated sugar) diet dated 11/08/22. Record review of Resident #208's face sheet, dated 04/13/23, revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, end stage renal disease (last stage of kidney failure), type 2 diabetes, fluid overload, morbid obesity, and hypertension (high blood pressure). Record review of Resident #208's admission MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 15 which indicated intact cognition. He required limited to extensive, one- to two-person assistance with bed mobility, transfer, locomotion, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene. He was independent with eating. He was on a therapeutic diet while a resident. Record review of Resident #208's care plan, dated 03/22/23, revealed he had a potential nutritional problem related to diagnosis of fluid overload and end stage renal disease. One of the interventions listed to address the issue was diet as ordered by physician. Record review of Resident #208's current physician's orders dated 04/13/23 revealed an order for LCS Diet (low concentrated sugar) dated 03/22/23 and an order for CCHO (consistent carbohydrate for diabetes) Renal diet dated 03/29/23.

During an observation and interview on 04/13/23 at 08:27 AM Resident #208 was lying in bed on his back in a hospital gown with a blanket over his left leg and his right leg outside the blanket. He stated he needed to eat less carbohydrates because they had been causing problems with the function of his legs. He stated the facility had not been helping him with his diet. He stated, Every supper plate is ¾ potato. He stated he had been taking care of his diet on his own because if I wasn't this stay here would have been pointless. He stated he has spoken to nurses and CNA's about his diet and asked often for substitutions but he did not know which ones he had spoken to. During an observation on 04/13/23 at 12:03 PM Resident #208 was lying in bed on his back asleep. His lunch tray was next to the bed and his plate was made up of mixed carrots and peas, cheesy tater tot casserole, a slice of white bread, and a piece of cake-the regular lunch menu of the day. During an interview on 04/13/23 at 04:12 PM DS K stated the only therapeutic diet the facility did was low concentrated sugar. She stated that is the same thing as a diabetic diet. She stated some residents on special diets prefered to eat regular diets and they must honor the resident's wishes. When asked about a renal diet DS K stated the facility uses a liberal renal diet and that means not so many potatoes or carbohydrates. DS K and Dietary L produced the menu for the week and showed that the regular lunch for 04/13/23 was beefy tater tot casserole and the alternative was a turkey sandwich with tomato soup. DS K stated if a resident was on a renal diet, they would have had the sandwich and soup option. She stated the nurses gave her a communication form that reflected diet orders, and she filled out the tray cards for dietary staff to see and comply with. DS K and Dietary L provided a diet type report for all residents on special diets. Record review of the diet type report, provided by DS K and Dietary L, dated 04/13/23 for all residents on a therapeutic diet revealed no entry for Resident #23 or Resident #208. During an observation and interview on 04/14/23 at 01:18 PM Resident #23 was sitting in her wheelchair outside in the smoking courtyard having a cigarette with several other residents. She stated she got a regular diet and was not on a special diet despite being a diabetic. She stated it made it harder for her to make good choices in what to eat. She stated she has told nurses and CNA's about her diet but she did not know which nurses and CNA's she had spoken to. During an interview on 04/14/23 at 01:28 PM ADON E stated a possible negative outcome of a resident not receiving a special diet as ordered was, obviously a risk of high glucose and insulin. He stated the diets for residents are in our system (the facility's EHR). He stated the facility was working to reeducate staff on accessing that information. During an interview on 04/14/23 at 02:28 PM LVN H stated a possible negative outcome of a resident not getting the ordered special diet would be, They would have higher sugar. She stated, Our protocol with diet change is fill out a communication form and give it to the kitchen. Then we follow up for 72 hours to be sure they get it. During an interview on 04/14/23 at 02:36 PM the DON stated residents who were not following a renal diet order might get too much protein in their diet and diabetic residents not following a diabetic diet might get too much sugar in their diet. During an interview on 04/14/23 at 02:54 PM the DON and RN A stated the nurses were responsible for filling out the dietary communication form and turning it into the kitchen.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents who needed respiratory care were provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan and the residents' goals and preferences, for 1 (Resident #208) of 23 residents reviewed for respiratory care.
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #208 had orders for oxygen at 2 liters per minute and was receiving oxygen at higher concentrations. This failure could place residents who receive oxygen at an increased risk for receiving oxygen at the wrong rate which could lead to hypercapnia (too much carbon dioxide in the blood), pulmonary oxygen toxicity (damage to the lung lining tissues and air sacs), hypoxemia (low levels of oxygen in the blood, decreasing the oxygen supply to vital organs), and shortness of breath.
Findings included: Record review of Resident #208's face sheet, dated 04/13/23 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, end stage renal disease (last stage of kidney failure), type 2 diabetes, and hypertension (high blood pressure). Record review of Resident #208's admission MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 15 which indicated intact cognition. He required limited to extensive, one- to two-person assistance with bed mobility, transfer, locomotion, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene. He was independent with eating. The MDS documented a need for oxygen while not a resident and as a resident. Record review of Resident #208's care plan, dated 03/22/23, revealed he had oxygen therapy related to congestive heart failure at 2 liters per minute continuously by nasal cannula. One of the interventions listed on the care plan was to give medications as ordered by physician. Record review of Resident #208's current physician's orders dated 04/13/23 revealed an order for oxygen at 2 liters per minute continuous per nasal cannula. The order had a start date of 03/23/23. Record review of Resident #208's oxygen saturation summary dated 04/13/23 revealed his oxygen saturation was checked and documented on 04/12/23 at 09:23 AM and 08:34 PM. His oxygen saturation was checked and documented by nursing staff one to two times a day for each day he was in the facility except 03/22/23. During an observation on 04/12/23 at 08:22 AM Resident #208 was lying in bed on his back asleep with oxygen by nasal cannula at 4 liters per minute. During an observation on 04/13/23 at 08:27 AM Resident #208 was lying in bed on his back asleep with oxygen by nasal cannula at 4 liters per minute.

During an observation and interview on 04/14/23 at 09:28 AM Resident #208 was sitting in his w/c with his hospital gown on and his oxygen at 3 liters per minute. He stated he took oxygen by nasal cannula all day long. He stated he could not remember when he started taking oxygen.
Residents Affected - Few During an observation and interview on 04/14/23 at 09:45 Resident #208 stated he did not turn his own oxygen up. He said, A nurse did that. Resident's oxygen was at 3 liters per minute. During an interview on 04/14/23 at 10:38 AM LVN G stated the nurses knew what level of oxygen a resident needed because it is in the order itself and we get it in report at change of shift. She stated, We review the orders with the provider before putting them in the chart. When asked how she knew a resident's oxygen is set at the correct level she said the nurses look at them every time we go in the room, and when we monitor oxygen levels. She stated if a resident took more oxygen than was ordered it could lead to overloading lungs, lungs can't tolerate that high amount of oxygen. It can be toxic because carbon dioxide can't exchange fast enough. Too much oxygen can be just as bad as not having oxygen. During an interview on 04/14/23 at 11:00 AM LVN G stated she worked on Resident #208's hall. She stated she thought Resident #208's oxygen was supposed to be set at 3-4 liters per minute. She looked up the order and noted it was for 2 liters per minute. During an interview on 04/14/23 at 01:06 PM ADON E stated a negative outcome of using more oxygen than ordered was there is always a danger if not following physicians orders. During an interview on 04/14/23 at 02:28 PM LVN H stated a negative outcome of not using oxygen as ordered was carbon dioxide levels and labs can get messed up. During an interview on 04/14/23 at 02:38 PM the DON stated a negative outcome of not using oxygen as ordered was oxygen dependance, or not enough oxygen or cardiac arrest. During an interview on 04/14/23 at 02:54 PM the DON and RN A stated the nurses were responsible for entering oxygen orders into the electronic health record and for making sure the orders were followed.
