F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents have the right to formulate an advanced directive for 4 of 11 residents (Resident #16, #17, #23, and #86) reviewed for advance directives, in that: The facility failed to obtain a valid Out-of-Hospital Do Not Resuscitate (OOHDNR) form for Residents #16, #17, #23 and #86. This deficient practice could place residents at-risk of having their end of life wishes dishonored, and of having cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed against their wishes. The findings were: Record review of the facility's undated document titled admission Agreement revealed a document titled Resident/family consent for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There was no OOH-DNR document or explanations on how to obtain one found in the agreement. Review of the Resident/Family Consent for Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation form , undated, revealed: This Care Center requests that a written signature of the Elder be obtained in advance regarding the desire for cardiopulmonary (CPR) in the event of an extreme emergency. CPR is the initiation of life saving measures for an individual who has had the sudden cessation of cardia and/or respiratory function. These procedures include the artificial respiration (oxygen) and chest compressions. These procedures will artificially enable the heart to keep pumping as well as aerate the lungs. If the Elder is mentally or physically unable to make this decision and the physician documents this, then a Responsible Party can be assigned as durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. Please note that CPR constitutes an extraordinary measure that can be a life saving procedure. Possible effects of these procedures may be some forms of brain damage due to the absence of oxygen reaching the brain. Other side effects can be damage to internal organs or broken ribs. Often these procedures are successful and will allow the patient life saving time until they can make it to the hospital. We ask that you mark ONE of the decisions below, accompanied by your signature and date. If you have further questions, please contact your attending physician. This statement will remain in effect as long as the resident remains a resident of this facility or Page 1 of 15 676015 676015 10/05/2022 Mabee Health Care Center 2208 N Loop 250 W Midland, TX 79707
F 0578 until we receive a written and signed notice of revocation from you. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm (box) I understand that CPR constitutes an extraordinary measure and SHOULD NOT be done on this resident. However, I wish that essential life support interventions such as oxygen, nutrition, hydration, and certain medications for the relief of pain be administered to maintain the resident's comfort. Residents Affected - Some (box) I understand that CPR constitutes an extraordinary measure and SHOULD be done on this resident in case of extreme emergency.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of Resident #16's Physician Orders for [DATE] revealed the facility had him coded as a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR). Review of the admission paperwork completed on [DATE] documented the Responsible Party signed the Resident/Family Consent for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Residents Affected - Some Review of Resident #16's admission paperwork showed his primary physician signed the Certificate of Incapacity (facility form) on [DATE]. Interview on [DATE] at 11:55 AM, LVN F stated Resident #16's DNR paperwork should be at the front of chart. She flipped through chart for OOHDNR and was unable to find one. She stated she would ask ADON H if the OOH was not filed yet because they were way behind on the filing. She stated she and the other charge nurse worked with the family forever to get them to make up their mind for the OOHDNR. Interview on [DATE] at 12:04 PM, LVN H stated the family wanted a copy of the OOHDNR and they didn't put it back in the clinical record. She said ADON H was looking for it.

Interview on [DATE] at 9:29 AM, LVN H stated she and the evening nurse worked months to get the family to accept that Resident #16 was declining and sign the OOHDNR. She stated they convinced the family to go to the social worker. She said she was told the family signed the OOHDNR in the wrong place and the actual OOHDNR was in a folder. LVN H said the OOHDNR did her no good in a folder because if she had to send Resident #16 out she would have been standing there with the Resident/Family Consent for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation while the Emergency Medication Technicians waiting on her trying to explain Resident #16 had a OOHDNR. She stated without the OOHDNR the EMTs would not be able to respect Resident #16 wishes. Interview on [DATE] at 10:42 AM, ADON H stated she had more problems with getting the OOHDNR than anything. She said in Resident #16's case the Responsible Party signed the form in the wrong place. ADON H stated she did not know why the social worker did not catch the error.

ADON H stated the Hospice company stated they would get one so she guessed Resident #86 was a full code on hospice for about a year prior to her admission. Interview on [DATE] at 12:13 p.m., the Administrator said the facility used the Resident/Family Consent for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in place of a DNR. She stated the form covered the facility for what happened in the facility but would not cover the facility if they needed to send a resident to the emergency room or something. Interview on [DATE] at 12:27 p.m., LVN F said she was not comfortable with the Family Consent for Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation. She said in the event of finding a resident not breathing she would send the resident out to the ER. She said she worked with a family for two months to sign a OOHDNR 676015 Page 5 of 15 676015 10/05/2022 Mabee Health Care Center 2208 N Loop 250 W Midland, TX 79707
F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some because she was not comfortable with that form. LVN F said as a nurse she would not accept the consent form in place of an OOHDNR. She said she did not know the facility's policy for DNRs and had not received any in-services about it because we know as a nurse. Interview on [DATE] at 12:58 p.m., ADON H stated the family consent was what the facility used. She said as a nurse working the floor, if that was all the resident had they had to send the resident to the emergency room and treat them as a full code. She said unless the resident signed the OOHDNR on admission, they facility would have to send out the OOHDNR to be signed by the doctor. ADON H stated she did not know how long the process took because she did not keep up with it. ADON H stated surveyor would have to ask the DON what the policy was and how long the process should take. She said the social worker was responsible for keeping up with the OOHDNR but the facility was between social workers right now and had a designee. She said they had been without one for at least six months. Interview on [DATE] at 1:41 p.m., the SSD stated she was designated to be the SSD until the facility found a full-time social worker. She stated she did a lot of OOHDNR on the rehab side of the facility but had not been doing much on the long-term side unless the facility brought it to her attention. The SSD said she did not check to see if a resident's code status was consistent through all the lists and records. She stated one doctor came about once a week and that was when he would sign the OOHDNR. She said there was not an initial timeframe for how long it took to get it signed, it just depended on the doctor. She said the facility had a cheat sheet for who was what code status, and she went by the in-house list. The SSD said she would not have any idea how many residents an OOHDRN had signed because she did not check them. She said the only list she checked was on the rehab side. Interview on [DATE] at 2:36 PM, the DON said the facility went through on admission and asked family what their advanced directive was at that time. She said as a nurse working the floor, she would be comfortable accepting the Family Consent form in place of an OOHDNR. The DON stated the facility had not trained nurses on OOHDNRs. She said the nurses had multiple places to check for code status including the crash cart, the pink or yellow sheet at the front of the resident's file, the physician's order and/or face sheet on the computer, on the 24-hour report. She stated the consent was only in-house and an OOHDNR would go with the EMT. She said if it came down to brass tacks the EMTs would have to perform CPR on the resident. The DON said the facility had no policy on DNR/CPR. She said she had not in-serviced the nurses because as nurses they all know. The DON said she checked approximately a month ago to make sure the code lists were consistently documented 676015 Page 6 of 15 676015 10/05/2022 Mabee Health Care Center 2208 N Loop 250 W Midland, TX 79707

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an observation on 10/03/22 at 11:29 AM, CNA A performed incontinent care for Resident #2. CNA A took some wet wipes and wiped the residents vaginal area a couple of times with a back to front wiping motion. The resident was turned on her right side and the CNA proceeded to clean the residents rectum. The resident had a bowel movement also. While still wearing the same gloves CNA A proceeded to apply the new brief on the resident. Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 10/05/2022 at 12:48 PM, CNA A said the way to wipe the resident's peri-area was with a front to back motion. CNA A said during incontinent care with Resident #2 she had become very nervous and wiped in the wrong direction which was back to front. CNA A said she knew she was supposed to change her gloves prior to applying the clean brief. CNA A said she was so nervous she forgot to change them prior to applying the new brief on the resident. CNA A said wiping from back to front could lead to UTI's and not changing her gloves could lead to cross contamination. CNA A said she received training on those tasks regularly. During a telephone interview on 10/05/22 at 09:46 AM, the nurse aide instructor said she did skills training with skills with the CNAs such as how to wash their hands, glove changing and discuss how to wipe the residents during incontinent care. The instructor said they monitored the CNAs by conducting in-services. The instructor said she was responsible for training the staff on incontinent care and infection control procedures.
