The facility failed to protect and promote the rights of the resident for 2 of 14 residents (Resident #35 and Resident #41) reviewed for resident rights. The facility failed to ensure RN C provided privacy during wound care for Resident #35 and Resident #41. This failure could place residents at risk for diminished quality of life and loss of dignity and self-worth. Findings included: Resident #35 Record review of Resident 35's face sheet, dated 02/18/25, revealed a [AGE] year-old-male was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include adult failure to thrive (a syndrome of weight loss, poor nutrition, and inactivity that affects older adults), anxiety, dementia (memory loss that interferes with daily life), stage 2 pressure ulcer to left buttock, and hypertension (high blood pressure). Record review of Resident #35's current physician's orders, with a start date of 01/21/25, revealed an order to cleanse stage II pressure ulcer to left buttock with wound cleanser and apply zinc daily. Record review of Resident #35's admission MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 12, which indicated the resident's cognition was mildly impaired. Section M-Skin Conditions revealed a stage 2 pressure ulcer that was present upon admission. Record review of Resident #35's comprehensive care plan dated 02/10/25 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility with a Stage II pressure injury to the left buttock. Interventions included: Administer treatments as ordered and monitor for effectiveness. During a wound care observation on 02/18/25 at 12:33 PM for Resident #35, RN C failed to fully pull the privacy curtain and close the window blind before performing wound care to the resident's left (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

During an interview on 02/20/25 at 11:33 AM, RN C stated she did not completely pull the curtain or close the window blind prior to performing wound care for Resident #35. She stated blinds and curtains should always be closed during personal care to provide privacy to the resident. RN C stated she just didn't see that the blind was open and stated staff attempt to work in a timely manner when providing personal care to Resident #35 because he gets agitated if we take too long. She stated she had been trained by nursing administration to provide privacy during personal care. RN C stated a potential negative outcome for failure to provide privacy during personal care would be that the resident's mental health could be negatively affected, the resident could suffer shame or lose trust in staff.

She stated if they did not have the information on the computer, she was unsure where the second place would be. She said the PNO for the resident, if the correct code status were not administered, was they, as the staff, may give the resident CPR, and this could make the family mad. She stated there could be many issues. She stated they could bring the resident back, which may not be what they wanted. She stated it was a violation of the resident's rights. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:27 AM, RN C stated if a resident coded, they immediately check to see if they were full code (Required CPR). She stated they would check the computer first and then the grey physical charts.

During an interview on [DATE] at 3:55 PM, the ADM stated if a resident codes, she expected her staff to know the resident's code status. She stated each resident's code status was in the EMR. She stated after the staff checks the EMR, they should be able to provide appropriate care. She stated the code status should also be kept in the hard chart. She stated the information should be consistent and accurate. The ADM stated she was familiar with the policy regarding DNR and the accuracy of information regarding code status. She stated the PNO of if code status was inaccurate or inconsistent across platforms, the resident's health and life could be affected. She stated the purpose of having consistent information across facility platforms was that, potentially, the resident's wishes may not be met. She stated she was unaware of residents whose code status was inconsistent across all facility platforms, such as the EMR, care plan, and physical charts. She stated she had been trained that code status should be updated and accurate. She stated the ADON was responsible for updating the resident's EMR and maintaining DNR accuracy. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:48 PM, the ADON stated that the nurse should get a crash cart if a resident coded. She stated the nurse could look in the computer in the resident's EMR to determine their code status.

Determining Existence of Advance Directive If the Resident Has an Advance Directive If the resident or the residents representative has executed one or more advance directive(s), or executes one upon admission, copies of these documents are obtained and maintained in the same section of the residents medical record and are readily retrievable by any facility staff. The director of nursing services (DNS) or designee notifies the attending physician of advance directives (or changes in advance directives) so that appropriate orders can be documented in the residents medical record and plan of care. The attending physician is not required to write orders for which he or she has an ethical or conscientious objection. The residents wishes are communicated to the residents direct care staff and physician by placing the advance directive documents in a prominent, accessible location in the medical record and discussing the residents wishes in care planning meetings. The plan of care for each resident is consistent with his or her documented treatment preferences and/or advance directive. Facility staff are not required to provide care that conflicts with an advance directive. If advance directive documents were developed in another state, the resident must have such documents reviewed and revised (as necessary) by his/her legal counsel in this state before the facility may honor such directives.
