a medical document which outlines a patient's preferences for end-of-life care).
This failure resulted in inaccurate medical records being kept for Resident 51 and had the potential to cause confusion to staff who read his POLST form.
2. Resident 2's copy of Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form was not signed and readily available as part of Resident 2's current medical records.
3. Resident 22's copy of Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form was inaccurately dated when signed and readily available as part of Resident 22's current medical records.
These failures had the potential risk for Residents' 2 and 22's decision regarding their healthcare and treatment options not being honored.

RN 1 stated the nurse who filled out Resident 51's POLST form should have spelled his name correctly, the nurse should have looked at his identification or hospital forms to ensure the name was the same. RN 1 stated it was important to ensure the POLST had the correct spelling for Resident 51's last name because it was a medical record and it tells staff what treatment the specific resident needed for end of life care.
