5680 SENECA HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER 425139 140 TOKEENA RD SENECA SC 29678 2015-04-23 152 D 0 1 CF2B11 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview the facility allowed the Responsible Party of Resident #5 to sign for a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order without two physicians deeming the resident unable to make own health care decisions. ( 1 of 11 residents with DNR's reviewed.) The findings included: The facility admitted Resident #5 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The Minimum Data Set revealed the resident's Brief Interview for Mental Status Score (BIMS) to be 9. Only one physician, of the two physicians required, had indicated the resident to be incapable of making his/her own health care decisions. The Responsible Party had signed the consent for the DNR. An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE] at 9:15 AM revealed the second physician's signature had not been obtained. The Social Service Director told the DON that the form had been placed in the doctor's book to be signed but had not been signed yet. Interviews with the DON and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #2 revealed that nurses and staff looking in the chart for resuscitation status for this resident would have not done CPR (Cardio [MEDICAL CONDITION] Resuscitation) on this resident in the event of a [MEDICAL CONDITION] due to the DNR sticker in the front of the chart. When in fact CPR would have needed to be done until all the necessary paperwork had been completed. 2018-10-01
