status, she would check the front page of the MAR. LVN A stated a resident's code status should be listed on the care plan as well. LVN A stated it was important to keep the care plan updated so everyone on the healthcare team knew how to care for the resident. LVN A stated if the code status was incorrect on the care plan it was possible for a resident with a signed OOH DNR to receive CPR or vice versa. In an interview with LVN B on [DATE] at 10:06 AM, LVN B stated if she needed to know the code status of a resident, she would check the resident's MAR or the binder at the nurse's station which contained the code status for all residents at the facility. LVN B stated she did look at resident's care plans to ensure she was up to date on how to care for her residents.

The ADON stated if the care plans did not accurately reflect a resident's code status, the resident could receive CPR unnecessarily or not get CPR when they wished to receive it. In an interview with the DON on [DATE] at 1:30 PM, the DON stated nurses could look in PCC or the binder at the nurse's station to determine a resident's code status. The DON stated when a resident wished to go from a full code status to DNR status, they met with the social worker who started the process. The DON stated once the OOH DNR form was signed by all parties, the social worker would inform the nurses to put the new DNR order in the resident's chart. The DON stated it was a team effort to ensure the care plan was updated appropriately.

The LMSW stated she was normally the one to update the care plan with the new code status if she uploaded the OOH DNR into PCC. The LMSW stated sometimes the MDS nurse uploaded the DNR into PCC. The LMSW stated she remembered Resident #1 was a DNR but did not know why Resident #1's care plan was not updated with the correct code status. The LMSW stated if a resident's care plan was not updated in a timely manner, staff may not know the current best way to care for a resident.
