9692 OAK RIDGE CENTER 515174 1000 ASSOCIATION DRIVE CHARLESTON WV 25311 2010-01-07 152 D 0 1 9PJH11 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of medical records and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure each resident's health care decisions were made by the individual appointed by the resident. Additionally, determination of the resident's incapacity did not clearly indicate the nature of the incapacity. This was true for one (1) of thirteen (13) sampled residents. Resident identifier: #17. Facility census: 72. Findings include: a) Resident #17 1. Review of the resident's medical record found the resident had appointed Individual #1 as her first choice to be her medical power of attorney representative (MPOA). She had appointed Individual #2 as the successor MPOA should Individual #1 be unable, unwilling, or disqualified to serve. Further record review found Individual #2 had signed the physician's orders [REDACTED]. However, no evidence was found in the medical record indicating Individual #1 was unwilling or unable to serve, or that he had been disqualified. On the morning of 01/07/10, Employee #95 was asked whether something had happened to Individual #1, as Individual #2 had been making the resident's health care decisions. She said she did not know but would find the answer. At 9:20 a.m. on 01/07/10, Employee #95 said she had contacted Individual #2, who said she had been making the resident's health care decisions because Individual #1 had been working a lot of overtime. 2. This resident was admitted on [DATE]. A Physician Determination of Capacity had been completed on 12/10/09, by a physician other than the resident's primary physician. The form contained the following sentence: In my opinion this patient HAS ___ or LACKS ___ sufficient mental or physical capacity to appreciate the nature and implication of health care decisions. The physician placed a checkmark in the blank beside Lacks. In a section directing Please check the nature of the incapacitation as evidenced by:, the evaluator recorded: Disorientation to person, place, and time. The word place had been circled. There was no check placed by Inability to understand or make medical decisions. This was discussed with Employee #95, who agreed it appeared the physician had indicated the resident was disoriented to place, which would not necessarily mean she was unable to understand the implications of health care decisions. 2015-10-01
