(c) The facility is exempt from the coordination of outside health services for residents who are capable and choose to independently arrange and manage their health care needs.

Subsequent refusals to consent to an order will be reported as requested by the prescriber. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to notify the physician when a resident refused to consent to orders for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1) who had documented refusals. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 moved into the facility in 05/2024 with diagnoses including insulin-dependent diabetic. The resident’s 12/01/24 through 12/17/24 MAR and physician’s orders were reviewed. The current physician's orders did not provide any instruction on the physician's preference of when to be notified of any refusals. Resident 1 refused erythromycin ointment (for lower conjunctival sacs) on 13 occasions. The clinical record lacked evidence the physician was notified of the refusals. In an interview on 12/17/24 at 1:46 pm, Staff 3 (MT) reported that staff approach the resident with a medication or treatment three times and if s/he still refuses to consent to orders, they document the refusal in the resident’s MAR. The need to ensure the physician or prescriber was notified when a resident refused consent to an order was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 12/18/24. She acknowledged the findings.

In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (Administrator) confirmed direct care staff had been instructed to use the Lysol product when washing soiled items. The need to ensure staff were instructed and followed proper disinfecting procedures for washing soiled laundry was reviewed with Staff 1 on 12/18/24. She acknowledged the staff needed reinstruction on proper laundry procedures.
