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.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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.

Resident #44had diagnoses which included, but not limited to, Alzheimer's Disease (type of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior), hypertension (high blood pressure) and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol). Record review of Resident #44's level 1 PASRR screening reflected a completed date of 7/24/23, approximately 30 days after the resident was admitted to the facility. An interview on 1/31/24 at 1:39 PM with MDS N revealed she oversaw PASRR assessments when a resident was admitted . MDS N stated PASRR identified any mental illness. MDS N was provided with the admission date of Resident #44 (6/7/23). MDS N stated Resident #44's PASRR was late and didn't know how that happened. MDS N stated a negative outcome depended, but she did not feel there would be one with no PASRR prior to admission for Resident #44 since she did not have a mental illness. MDS N stated PASRR identified if the resident had a mental illness and if a resident qualified for extra services . An interview on 11/31/24 at 2:30 PM, the DON stated there was not a PASRR policy in place as the facility followed the HHSC guidelines for PASRR assessments .

F 0880 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.
