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 all residents had the right to formulate an advanced
directive for 8 (Resident #3, #9, #16, #21, #22, #23, #33, and #49) of 18 residents reviewed for advanced
directives.
The facility failed to ensure Residents #3, #16, #21, #22, #23, and #33 DNR's were not missing information
in the Physician Statement Section.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #9's DNR was not missing information in the Witness Section.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #49's DNR was not missing information in the Physicians Statement
Section and a different DNR in her printed record that was missing information in the Physicians Statement
Section.
The facility's failure to ensure the accuracy of a residents advanced directive such as a DNR (Do Not
Resuscitate), recognized under State law (whether statutory or as recognized by the courts of the State),
relating to the provision of health care could place residents a risk for not receiving healthcare as per their
or their legal representatives wishes.
Findings include:
Resident #3
Record review of the face sheet dated 1-30-2024 in the clinical record for Resident #3 revealed a [AGE]
year-old male resident admitted to the facility originally on 12-01-2004 and readmitted on [DATE] with
diagnoses to include epilepsy (a disorder that causes abnormal brain function, seizures),
major depressive disorder (mental illness causing sadness due to lack of chemicals in the brain that cause
happiness), unspecified intellectual disabilities (a developmental disorder characterized by less than
averaged intelligence and significant limitations in adaptive behavior), and schizophrenia, (a serious mental
health disease that causes altered perception of reality). Under the section Advanced Directives Resident
#3 was listed as a DNR.

RN A pulled the basic chart for Resident #23 (that he was responsible for this shift) and pointed out that the
first page of the chart indicated that Resident #23 was a DNR and therefore he would not start CPR if she
was coding. RN A verified that a DNR had to have completed information in order for the DNR to be active
or valid. RN A reviewed Resident #23's DNR, noted that the physicians license number was missing and
reported the DNR was not completed. RN A reported that if Resident #23 was to code (stop breathing or
her heart stopped) at this time he would perform CPR. RN A reviewed the other 7 residents DNR's that
were missing information and reported that they were also invalid and therefor if the residents were to code,
he would start CPR.
During an interview on 1-30-2024 at 03:25 PM RN B (the Treatment Nurse for the facility this shift) reported
that to determine a resident's code status she would check the resident's basic (printed) chart on the unit.
RN B pulled Resident #49's printed DNR that was in the basic chart on the unit and noted the first page in
the provided chart was a copy of Resident #49's DNR. RN B reported that Resident #49 was a DNR and
therefor if the resident was not breathing or Resident #49's heart stopped, RN B would withhold CPR.
When asked to review Resident #49's DNR, RN B reviewed the DNR and noted the physicians printed
signature and license number were missing (unlike the DNR provided to this surveyor by the DON printed
from Resident #49's electronic chart that was missing the physician signature, date, printed signature, and
license number). RN B reported that due to the missing information the DNR was not valid and therefor she
would have to perform CPR on Resident 49 if she coded. Resident #49 would be considered a full code
(which means staff will start CPR if Resident #49 codes) until the DNR is correctly completed. RN B
reviewed the 7 other residents DNR's and verified they were also missing information and were not valid
until they were corrected.
During an interview on 1-31-2024 at 09:02 AM the DON reported that all residents are offered the choice
for code status at admission and then the chart to include the computer and printed chart on the unit are
marked as directed. The DNR is uploaded to computer once completed. The DON reported that the BDM is
the one responsible for offering and completing the DNR if the resident wishes that to be their code status.
The BDM is responsible for completing the DNR because she is a notary. The DON reported that he is
aware of the 8 residents that have missing information on their current active DNR's and that he has
already started an in-service with the nurses to correct the issue. The DON also reported that the facility
has started a full review of all the residents in the system to verify their code status and the accuracy of
their information. The DON reviewed the 8 residents currently listed and verified that they were all missing
information on their DNR form and therefor currently had invalid DNR's. The DON reported that the facility
still considered these residents to be DNR's and would not perform CPR if they coded due to knowing each
resident's wishes despite the invalid DNR. When asked what the consequences of the DNR process not
being completed correctly the DON stated, It does not negate the residents wishes in my mind.
During an interview on 1-31-2024 at 09:20 AM the BDM verified that she completes all the DNR interviews
with each resident at admission, that she helps the resident complete their section, she then completes the
section for the witness since she is a notary, then she gives the form to medical records to send to the
physician to complete. She reported that she is not responsible for making sure the DNR form is complete.
During an interview on 1-31-2024 at 09:31 AM MR C verified that she received the DNR form from the
BDM, she then sends the form to the physician, and when the form is returned, she checks it and puts the
form in the resident's chart. MR C stated, I guess I have missed some of the information that should have
been in them. I have a lot of papers that I deal with, and I don't always catch everything. MR C verified that
she has not been trained on how to accurately fill out a DNR.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
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 2 (CNA D and CNA E) of 5
staff observed for resident care.
Residents Affected - Few
-CNA D did not wash her hands or place supplies properly while performing incontinent care.
-CNA E did not wash her hands while performing incontinent care.
This deficient practice has the potential to affect residents in the facility receiving incontinent care by
exposing them to care that could lead to the spread of infections, tissue breakdown, and feelings of
isolation related to poor hygiene.
Findings include:
During an observation on 1-30-2024 at 09:52 AM of incontinent care performed by CNA D (Primary) with
CNA E (Assisting), both CNAs were noted entering the residents room and did not wash their hands or use
ABHR. CNA D removed a new brief and package of wipes from the Residents dresser and placed them
directly on the resident mattress next to the resident. CNA D then put on gloves. CNA E put on gloves and
removed the Residents covers. CNA D removed several wipes and placed them along with the new brief on
the mattress sheets next to the resident leg. CNA D then pulled the residents brief down and cleaned the
resident perineal and vaginal area with 3 separate wipes. CNA E rolled the resident to her side with CNA
D's assistance. CNA D used a wipe to clean the resident's rectal area. CNA D then picked up the new brief
and placed it under the resident and assisted CNA E to roll the resident to her back. CNA D finished
placing/pulling up the new brief and secured it. CNA D removed her gloves for the first time since starting
the procedure and placed them in the trash. CNA E removed her gloves for the first time since starting the
procedure and placed them in the trash. CNA D and CNA E placed the resident in a position of comfort and
exited the room. No hand hygiene was performed an anytime while in the resident's room.
During an interview on 1-30-2024 at 10:00 AM CNA D and CNA E both verified that they did not perform
any hand hygiene while in the room during the incontinent care. CNA E reported they did use ABHR prior to
entering the room (this was not witnessed by this surveyor) but did not perform any hand hygiene while in
the room performing care. Both verified that they should have performed hand hygiene to include
handwashing upon entry to the room and before placing a new brief. CNA D reported that it can lead to
poor hygiene for the resident, that the new brief was probably soiled. Both reported that if incontinent care
is not performed correctly then a resident could develop an infection and there would be cross
contamination. Both verified that not preforming hand hygiene upon completion of incontinent care and
prior to leaving the room can result in carrying an infection to the next resident they provide care for.
During an interview on 1-30-2024 at 02:49 PM CNA D reported that CNA E went home at 2PM and was not
available. CNA D reported that her training for incontinent care and handwashing was performed by LVN F
who was unavailable today and that the training was completed about a month ago.
During an interview on 1-31-2024 at 09:12 AM the DON reported that he expects his staff to perform hand
hygiene constantly. They should perform hand hygiene when they do any resident care, patient

care, or toileting. With incontinent care they should perform hand hygiene prior to starting the care, any time
they go from the dirty to clean portion of the care, and upon completion. The DON reported that staff should
perform hand hygiene before exiting a resident's room especially when providing resident care to prevent
the risk of cross contamination. The DON reported that If a staff members hands are soiled, they should
perform handwashing, otherwise use of ABHR can suffice. The DON reported that if hand hygiene is not
performed correctly then infection control will be violated and the potential for spreading infection will be
great.
