Inspection of February 9, 2024
4 findingsBased on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure a resident's code status was carried out per the resident's wishes by failing to have a system in place to ensure staff knew how to confirm a resident's code status in an emergency for 1 (Resident #406) of 3 (Resident #101, Resident #103, and Resident #406) residents reviewed for death in the facility. The deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation on [DATE] at 4:20 p.m. for Resident #406 when she was found in distress by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) was initiated after S30Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) presented EMS with a Louisiana Physician Order for Scope of Treatment (LaPOST) (a document that notes a resident's wishes as it relates resuscitation status) unsigned by Resident #406's physician. S1Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] at 4:45 p.m. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] at 3:05 p.m., after it was verified through observations, interviews, and record review the facility implemented an acceptable Plan of Removal, prior to the survey exit. This deficient practice had the likelihood to cause more than minimum harm to the remaining 99 residents who reside in the facility and may need to receive emergency care. Findings: Review of the facility's Advanced Directive Policy and Procedure revealed, in part, advanced directives will be respected in accordance with state law and facility policy. Further review revealed the interdisciplinary team will review annually with the resident his or her advanced directives. Further review revealed the nurse supervisor will be required to inform emergency medical personnel of a resident's advance directive regarding treatment options and provide such personnel with a copy of such directive when transfer from the facility via ambulance is needed. Review of the Resident #406's LaPOST dated [DATE] revealed, in part, in the event of a cardiopulmonary arrest, Resident #406 elected to be a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). Review of Resident #406's LaPOST dated [DATE], which was provided to EMS upon arrival, revealed, in part, in the event of a cardiopulmonary arrest, Resident #406 elected to be a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). Further review revealed Resident #406's LaPOST was not signed by a physician. Review of Resident #406's progress note (late entry) dated [DATE] at 7:27 p.m. revealed, in part, EMS arrived at facility at approximately 4:20 p.m., and when walking into Resident #406's room, found Resident #406 in distress. Further review revealed, S30LPN presented EMS with Resident #406's LaPOST, and EMS informed S30LPN CPR had to be initiated because Resident #406's LaPOST was not signed by a physician. Further review revealed Resident #406's CPR was stopped at 5:00 p.m. when administration was able to locate a signed LaPOST. In a phone interview on [DATE] at 10:07 a.m., Resident #406's responsible party stated Resident #406's code status was DNR, and Resident #406 would not have wanted to have CPR performed. In a phone interview on [DATE] at 10:53 a.m., S30LPN stated on [DATE], she presented Resident #406's LaPOST to EMS, but EMS stated since Resident #406's LaPOST was not signed by a physician, EMS had to initiate CPR. S30LPN confirmed CPR was performed by EMS on Resident #406. S30LPN further stated she thought it was a problem that the facility had an unsigned LaPOST with a DNR order in Resident #406's EMR. In an interview on [DATE] at 12:11 p.m., S1Administrator stated the code status of resident should be reviewed every quarter. S1Administrator further confirmed there was a discrepancy with the LaPOSTs uploaded into Resident #406's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) because the LaPOST dated [DATE] was not signed by a physician. S1Administrator further stated CPR should not have been initiated if Resident #406's wishes were to be a DNR.
Based on observations, record reviews, and interviews, the facility failed to be administered in a manner that enabled it to use its resources effectively and efficiently by failing to have an adequate system in place to ensure: 1. a resident who had a history of unsafe smoking used the required safety smoking device and was supervised while smoking for 1 (Resident #90) of the 3 (Resident #29, Resident #61, Resident #90) sampled residents reviewed for smoking; 2. an environment that was free from roaches for 1 (Hall D) of 5 (Hall A, Hall B, Hall C, Hall D, Hall E) halls observed for the presence of pests; and 3. a resident's code status was carried out per the resident's wishes by failing to have a system in place to ensure staff knew how to confirm a resident's code status in an emergency for 1 (Resident #406) of 3 (Resident #101, Resident #103, and Resident #406) residents reviewed for death in the facility. This lack of administrative oversight resulted in Immediate Jeopardy situations: 1.

1 findingBased on record review and interview the facility failed to provide the necessary care when residents had no pulse or respirations by not performing CPR for these residents who did not have a physician order [REDACTED]. This deficient practice was identified for 2 of 3 stage II sample residents reviewed (#31 & #112) and 23 other random residents at the facility (#46, #11, #19, #75, #57, #13, #113, #56, #101, #21, #17, #109, #26, #88, #44, #98, #8, #83, #73, #7, #12, #90, & #110) in a total of 86 Residents on the Stage II Sample Resident List. The facility's census was 91 as documented on the facility's Resident Census and Conditions of Residents. Per the facility policy, the facility's will not use cardiopulmonary resuscitation and related emergency measures to maintain life functions on a resident when there is a Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNRO) in effect. A DNRO must be signed by the resident's attending physician on the physicians order sheet maintained in the resident's medical record. Resident #112 and #31 did not have a signed physician's orders [REDACTED]. Resident #31 was in Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] when the facility staff found the resident with no respirations and no pulse and did not initiate CPR. The Immediate Jeopardy ended for Resident #112 on [DATE] when the resident died and ended for Resident #31 on [DATE] when the resident died .

The Administrator was informed of the Immediate Jeopardy situation on [DATE] at 12:10 pm. The facility provided a written plan to remove the Immediate Jeopardy. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] at 3:35 pm when Surveyors determined that the facility removed chart information which would have identified that a resident had a DNR status and residents who were Do Not Resuscitate had a physician's DNR order. The nursing staff and respiratory staff were inserviced that the current system is ineffective and were instructed to view each resident's record for DNR status per facility policy. The staff at work were in-serviced and all new staff and other staff would be in-serviced prior to working there next scheduled. The deficient practice remains at a level II for all residents in the facility as the facility has not put a system in place with quality assurance to ensure the deficient practice does not reoccur.
