Summary
The facility failed to review and revise a care plan in a timely manner for one resident regarding advanced directives. The resident signed a code status form indicating a desire not to be resuscitated, which was documented in the medical record. However, the care plan, dated several days after the code status form was signed, continued to list the resident as a full code. The care plan coordinator acknowledged that the code status should have been updated on the care plan as soon as possible after the form was signed. Social services staff also confirmed that the resident's code status should have been entered into the medical record.
