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 advance directive for 1 (Resident #72) of 19 residents reviewed for DNR orders. Resident #72 had a Full Code Status in active medical orders and on Resident's Face Sheet as well as a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) form in her health record. This failure could place residents at risk of having their end of life wishes dishonored.
Findings: Record review of the face sheet for Resident #72 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of unspecified intracapsular fracture of right femur (upper leg bone), subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing (break within the hip joint capsule), Alzheimer's disease (memory loss) with late onset, unspecified osteoarthritis (break down of joints causing pain related to age/wear and tear), unspecified site. The Advance Directive tab on the Face Sheet documented Resident #72 as a Full Code (a patient's request to receive all possible medical interventions, including CPR, in the event of a cardiac or respiratory arrest). Record review of the admission MDS dated [DATE] for Resident #72 revealed a BIMS score of 0 out of 15 indicating her cognition was severely impaired. Record review of Resident #72's Electronic Health Record under the miscellaneous tab contained a Do Not Resuscitate form signed by family, 2 witnesses, and physician. Record review of Resident #72's care plan dated [DATE] documented Resident #72 as DNR. Record review of Resident #72's Active Orders as of [DATE] revealed an active order for Full Code dated [DATE]. During an interview on [DATE] at 8:45 AM, the ADON stated that the nursing staff is responsible for putting the code status of the resident in the electronic health record and the nursing staff are supposed to check the next day after admission to make sure the code status was put in correctly. The ADON was shown the Orders and Face Sheet for Resident #72 which revealed the resident was a Full Code, and then was shown the DNR and Care plan which showed Resident #72 was a DNR. The ADON stated this was inaccuracy of records and the negative outcome for inaccuracy for code status for a resident could be that they could perform CPR on someone who would not want to be resuscitated.

During an interview on [DATE] at 9:04 AM, LVN F stated he had worked in the facility for 3 ½ years. He confirmed he was the nurse working on the hallway Resident #72 was currently residing on. LVN F stated that if he had a resident who coded (someone who has experienced a cardiac or respiratory arrest, triggering a code blue or similar emergency response, and requiring immediate life-saving measures) on his shift, he would check their chart under code status and if they were a full code, he would send someone to get the crash cart (a wheeled cart stocked with emergency medical equipment, supplies, and drugs, primarily used during medical emergencies, especially for cardiac arrest resuscitation efforts) and start CPR immediately and then call 911. LVN F stated if a resident had CPR performed on them, but they were a DNR, that would be a huge problem. He stated the negative outcome for performing CPR on a resident who had a DNR could be cracking ribs and possibly killing them. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:07 AM, the DON was shown the Face Sheet for Resident #72 being a Full Code and the resident's DNR. The DON stated that it was an inaccuracy of resident records and that a negative outcome for this could be that someone could possibly not see the DNR and perform CPR, which could upset the family because their wishes were not followed. The DON stated that it was the nurse's responsibility to put in code statuses for residents. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:02 AM, the DON stated that they do not have a policy regarding accuracy of records. Record review of facility policy titled, Physician's Orders and dated 2015 revealed: Purpose: To monitor and ensure the accuracy and completeness of all physician orders. 1. Physician's monthly consolidated orders must be reviewed by a licensed nurse to assure they reflect all current orders.

CNA G reported that if a resident's information was left out then someone could steal it. CNA G denied that she was the staff member that left the CNA assignment sheet at the end of the 100 Hall. During an interview on 03/25/25 at 09:54 AM LVN C reported that a resident's information should be private and covered. LVN C said that if a resident's information was left out and could be accessed it would violate the residents' rights and that is why it should be kept private so no one can access it. LVN C reported that if a resident's information was left out then anyone could read it and they could give that information to other people. A family member could be in the hallway and could read the residents information and could give that information to someone else. LVN C reported that violating a resident's private information could lead to a resident feeling disappointed, upset, and
