**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a physician's order for a resident's
code status preference that included the resident's Provider Orders for Life-sustaining Treatment (POLST-a
set of portable medical orders that communicate a patient's wishes for end-of-life intervention to health care
facilities and providers) was readily retrievable and placed in the residents' current medical chart for 11 out
of 100 sampled residents (Resident 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11), in case of an emergency and in
accordance to the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Advance Directive. This deficient practice had
the potential to delay life sustaining measures during a medical emergency. Findings: During a review of
Resident 1's admission Record, (AR) the AR indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, [a progressive lung condition
making breathing difficult), chronic bronchitis (inflamed airways), emphysema (damaged air sacs), and
respiratory failure (condition where the lungs can't adequately oxygenate the blood or remove carbon
dioxide). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated [DATE], the H&P indicated the
resident does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's
Minimum Data Set (a resident assessment tool), dated [DATE], the MDS indicated that Resident 1 has
severely impaired cognition (the ability to process thoughts and emotions). The MDS also indicated that the
resident did not have a life expectancy of less than 6 months at the time of assessment. The MDS further
indicated that the resident did not have a POLST in the resident's medical chart. During a review of
Resident 2's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included
metabolic encephalopathy (when the brain has trouble working because of a chemical, or metabolic,
problem in the body), hypertension (high blood pressure), and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol level).
During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P), dated [DATE], indicated the resident does not
have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 2's MDS dated [DATE],
the MDS indicated that the resident has severely impaired cognition. The MDS also indicated that the
resident had a POLST in the resident's medical chart. During a review of Resident 3's admission Record
indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included chronic kidney disease (CKD, a disease characterized by progressive damage and loss of function
in the kidneys), cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart), and dementia (progressive loss of memory, language,
problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life). During a
review of Resident 3's History and Physical (H&P), dated [DATE], indicated that the resident has fluctuating
capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 3's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS

admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus, intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in
the brain), and hypertension. During a review of Resident 11's H&P, dated [DATE], the H&P indicated that
the resident does have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 11's
MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated that the resident MDS indicated that the resident has moderately
impaired cognition. The MDS also indicated that the resident had a POLST in the resident's medical chart.
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:47 AM with licensed vocational nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated that on
[DATE] at around 3 PM to 3:15 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) 1 went into Nursing Station (NS) 3 to check
Resident 1's medical chart and identify what Resident 1's code status was. LVN 1 stated that RN 1 could
not locate Resident 1's POLST. LVN 1 stated that after not being able to find the resident's POLST, RN 1
instructed the nurses to initiate CPR. LVN 1 stated when a POLST or a code status order was not found,
the resident was treated as full code (a patient wants all possible life-saving measures, including CPR
[chest compressions, defibrillation], intubation [breathing tube], and mechanical ventilation, if their heart
stops or they stop breathing). During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 1:18 PM with RN 1, RN 1 stated
that on [DATE] at around 3 PM, LVN 2 informed her in NS 1 that Resident 1 was unresponsive and
pulseless. RN 1 stated that she went from NS 1 to NS 3 to look for Resident 1's code status. RN 1 stated
that she could not find Resident 1's POLST or code status in Resident 1's current medical chart. RN 1
stated that she instructed the nurses to initiate CPR since there was no POLST or code status, therefore
Resident 1 was treated as full code. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:53 PM with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated that the facility could not find Resident 1's POLST or Advance Directive (AD a
written statement of a person's wishes regarding medical treatment, often including a living will, made to
ensure those wishes are carried out should the person be unable to communicate them to a doctor) in the
current medical chart. DON stated that the POLST or AD might be in the resident's old chart, since the
POLST or AD was not in Resident 1's current medical chart. During a concurrent interview and record
review on [DATE] at 8:47 AM with the DON, Resident 1's POLST, dated [DATE], was reviewed. The DON
stated that she had found Resident 1's POLST in the resident's previous medical chart. The DON stated
that the document was still valid on [DATE] when Resident 1 was found unresponsive. The DON stated that
the POLST was part of the resident's AD and the AD should have been placed in the resident's current
chart since the nurses look for the POLST when a resident was found unresponsive to determine if CPR
should be performed. The DON further stated that not having the POLST or AD in the chart could cause a
delay in performing CPR during a medical emergency. During a concurrent interview and record review on
[DATE] at 11:38 PM with RN 3, the electronic and current medical charts of the facility's 100 residents were
reviewed for their completeness, including the presence of a POLST and AD. During the record review, the
records of Resident 2, Resident 3, Resident 4, Resident 5, Resident 6, Resident 7, Resident 8, Resident 9,
Resident 10, and Resident 11 did not include a POLST or AD. RN 3 stated that she could not find the
residents' POLST or AD. RN 3 stated that the POLST or AD must be in the charts because the nurses need
the POLST or AD during a medical emergency to ensure the residents wishes were performed and that
facility staff follow the residents wishes. The RN 3 stated a medical emergency example was when a
resident was found unresponsive and pulseless. During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE]
at 3:35 PM with Social Worker (SW) 1, Resident 2's records were reviewed. SW 1 stated Resident 2's
POLST was on SW 1's email and not placed in Resident 2's medical chart. SW 1 stated that the POLST
must be printed and in the resident's physical chart. During a concurrent interview and record review on
[DATE] at 3:35 PM with SW 1, Resident 3's records were reviewed. SW 1 stated that Resident 3's POLST
was not in the resident's records because the resident was transferred

SW 1 stated she was unsure if Resident 9 was offered a POLST. During another concurrent interview and
record review on [DATE] at 3:35 PM with SW 1, Resident 10's records were reviewed. Resident 10's
POLST was not found in Resident 10's current medical chart. During another concurrent interview and
record review on [DATE] at 3:35 PM with SW 1, Resident 11's records were reviewed. SW 1 stated
Resident 11's POLST and AD were not in Resident 11's current medical chart. SW 1 stated that the POLST
should be in the resident's chart and not in her office. During another concurrent interview record review on
[DATE] at 3:56 PM with SW 1, the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Advance Directives, dated
9/2022, was reviewed. SW 1 stated that the P&P indicated that upon admission, the social workers must
inquire about the resident's POLST or AD. SW 1 stated that the term upon admission means within 48 to 72
hours upon the resident's admission. SW 1 stated that the P&P indicated that if the resident has an AD or a
POLST, the documents must be in the resident's medical records and is accessible to any facility staff, and
not in her office. During an interview on [DATE] at 11:41 AM with the DON, the DON stated that it is the
responsibility of SW 1 to obtain the residents' AD and POLST within 48 hours of admission to the facility.
The DON stated that if there was a POLST, the POLST must be in the resident's current medical chart. The
DON stated that facility staff use the POLST to identify if residents are full code, especially in an emergency
such as when a resident is found unresponsive. During a review of the facility Job Description (JD) for a
social worker titled, Social Services Designee, undated, the JD indicated that the SW works with residents
to complete advance directive documentation. During a record review of the facility's P&P titled, Advance
Directive, dated 9/2022, the P&P indicated that if the resident or representative has not established an
advance directive for the resident, the facility staff will offer assistance in establishing advance directive. The
P&P also indicated that information about whether or not the resident has executed an advance directive is
displayed prominently in the medical record in a section that is retrievable by any staff. The P&P also
indicated that if the resident has an advance directive, copies of these documents are obtained and
maintained in the same section of the residents medical record and are readily retrievable by any facility
staff.

observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that direct care staff were qualified to
respond and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for one out of 66 identified full code (a resident
who wants all possible life-saving measures used if their heart stops or they stop breathing, including CPR
residents) (Resident 1). After further investigation, it was determined the facility failed to ensure that: 1.On
[DATE], CNA 1, Registered Nurse (RN) 1, LVN 1, LVN 2, and LVN 5 did not call a code blue immediately
when Resident 1 was found unresponsive on [DATE] between 3:05 PM to 3:10 PM. 2. On [DATE], LVN 1
and CNA 2 did not place Resident 1 on a firm, flat surface while performing CPR. LVN 1 and CNA 2 did not
use the backboard (a rigid board inserted under a patient's back to create a firm surface, preventing soft
surfaces [like mattresses] from absorbing compression force, thereby improving the depth and
effectiveness of chest compressions) that was available at the facility. 3. On [DATE], LVN 1 and CNA 2 did
not perform rescue breaths on Resident 1 while performing CPR on [DATE],?in accordance
with?professional standard of practice?and?the?2025?American Heart Association?(AHA)?Guidelines
for?CPR. 4.On [DATE], LVN 1 and CNA 2 did not perform continuous and appropriate chest compressions
with the required depth on Resident 1, in accordance with professional standard of practice and the 2025
AHA Guidelines for CPR. As a result, Resident 1 was pronounced deceased (dead) on [DATE] at 3:48 PM
by EMS crew after 20 minutes of CPR. As a result of these deficiencies, the facility placed 66 full code (a
patient wants all possible life-saving measures if their heart or breathing stops, including CPR) residents at
risk to not receive adequate and proper life-saving measures during a code blue, potentially leading to
greater harm and/or death to other residents residing in the facility. Cross referenced to F678 Findings:?
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, (AR) the AR indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, [a

LVN 1, LVN 1 stated that when a resident is found unresponsive, the responding staff should go straight for
airway. LVN 1 stated the next step is to assess the resident's circulation by checking the resident's pulse.
LVN 1 stated that chest compressions should be initiated if the resident is determined to be pulseless at a
rate of 30 compressions per minute. ? During another interview on [DATE] at 11:47?AM with LVN 1,? LVN 1
stated he worked on [DATE] when Resident 1 was found unresponsive. LVN 1 stated that on [DATE], at
around 3:15 PM, CNA 1 informed him that Resident 1 was unresponsive. LVN 1 stated that he and other
nurses, including RN 1 and RN 2, assessed the resident and found that the resident was not breathing and
did not have a pulse. LVN 1 stated that RN 1 and RN 2 went into the nurse's station to check Resident 1's
records and locate Resident 1's code status. LVN 1 stated that RN 1 was the one who instructed staff (LVN
1 and CNA 2) to start CPR on Resident 1. LVN 1 stated he could not recall who first initiated chest
compressions to Resident 1 and who administered rescue breaths. LVN 1 also stated he could not recall if
a backboard was used during Resident 1's CPR. During a phone interview on [DATE] at 12:27 PM with
CNA 1, CNA 1 stated she went into Resident 1's room on [DATE] at around 3:10 PM to 3:15 PM and found

he observed two facility staff members were next to Resident 1, and one more facility staff member was
performing CPR. PC 1 stated Resident 1 was wearing a non-rebreather mask and staff was not using an
Ambu-bag. PC 1 stated that an oxygen mask like the non-rebreather mask was not an appropriate
equipment to use while conducting a CPR. PC 1 stated that the Ambu-bag was observed right next to
Resident 1's head of the bed but was not being used by the facility staff because it was not inflated and not
connected to an oxygen source. PC 1 also stated that the EMS crew had to move Resident 1 from the bed
to the floor because Resident 1 was not placed under a backboard while on the bed. PC 1 stated that the
EMS crew continued to perform CPR on Resident 1 for about 15 more minutes. ? During a phone interview
on [DATE] at 4:43 PM with another EMS Crew, PC 2, PC 2 stated that on [DATE] when the EMS crew
responded to the facility's 911 call, PC 2 observed one facility staff member perform CPR on Resident 1.
PC 2 stated that the facility staff member was not performing adequate CPR because the rate was
inconsistent and slow and the facility staff's compressions would stop and go and stop. PC 2 further stated
that during his observation, the facility staff member performing the CPR was only using one hand, instead
of two hands during chest compressions. PC 2 stated that the facility staff performing the CPR were not
using the Ambu-bag to provide rescue breaths because Resident 1 was placed on a non-breather mask.
PC 2 further stated that the facility staff did not place Resident 1 on a backboard and performed CPR on

Association Guidelines for CPR and ECC,
https://cpr.heart.org/en/resuscitation-science/cpr-and-ecc-guidelines/adult-basic-life-support, [site accessed
on [DATE]], the guidelines indicated the following: 1.If a resident is found unconscious/unresponsive, with
absent or abnormal breathing (ie, only gasping), the health care professional should check for a pulse for
no more than 10 seconds and, if no definite pulse is felt, should assume the person is in cardiac arrest. 2.
After identifying an adult in cardiac arrest, a lone responder should activate the emergency response
system first, then immediately begin CPR, beginning with chest compressions. 3. In adult cardiac arrest, it
is preferred to perform CPR on a firm surface and with the person in the supine position, when feasible and
does not delay chest compressions. 4. During manual CPR, rescuers should perform chest compressions
to a depth of at least 2 inches. 5. For adults in cardiac arrest, it is reasonable for rescuers to perform chest
compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 [per minute]. 6. It is reasonable for lay rescuers and health care
professionals to perform CPR with cycles of 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths before placement of an
advanced airway. 7. Bag-mask ventilation is most effective when provided by 2 trained and experienced
rescuers; 1 rescuer opens the airway and seals the mask to the face with both hands while the other
rescuer (who might also be the chest compressor) squeezes the bag during the pauses in chest
compression. During a review of the facility's?P&P titled,? Emergency Procedure- Cardiopulmonary

Provide basic life support, including CPR, prior to the arrival of emergency medical personnel , subject to
physician orders and the resident’s advance directives.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure proper and effective Basic Life Support
(BLS-the level of care provided to victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries until full medical care is
available, including recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system), that
included cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR, an emergency procedure combining chest compressions
and rescue breaths to circulate blood and oxygen when the heart stops or breathing ceases). The facility
did not continuously perform BLS for one of 66 identified full code (a resident who wants all possible
life-saving measures used if their heart stops or they stop breathing, including CPR residents) (Resident 1)
during a code blue (a life-threatening medical emergency requiring an immediate trained response for
CPR) when Resident 1 was found unresponsive, pulseless, and not breathing by failing to ensure: 1.
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN) 1, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)
1, LVN 2, and LVN 5 immediately called a code blue when Resident 1 was found unresponsive on [DATE]
between 3:05 PM to 3:10 PM, so that CPR could be initiated without delay. 2. CNA 1, RN 1, LVN 1, LVN 2,
and LVN 5 were aware of Resident 1's code status (a medical order indicating the type of emergency
treatment a person would or would not receive if their heart or breathing stopped) and were able to locate
this information in the resident's medical record. LVN 1 stated that CPR was initiated by a licensed nurse on
the resident's bed at 3:22 PM on [DATE], approximately 12 minutes after the resident was found
unresponsive. 3. LVN 1 and CNA 2 placed Resident 1 on a firm, flat surface while performing CPR on the
resident's bed and utilized a backboard available at the facility, designed to provide a rigid surface under the
resident's back to prevent mattress compression and improve the depth and effectiveness of chest
compressions during CPR. 4. LVN 1 and CNA 2 performed continuous and uninterrupted CPR on the
resident's bed until emergency medical services (EMS- ambulance services or emergency services that
provide treatment and stabilization for the patient) assumed care. As a result, Resident 1 was pronounced
deceased (dead) on [DATE] at 3:48 PM by EMS crew after 20 minutes of CPR were performed on the floor.
These failures placed the facility's identified 66 full code residents at risk to not receive adequate and
proper life-saving measures during a code blue, potentially leading to greater harm and/or death to other
residents residing in the facility. On [DATE] at 2:34 PM, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ: a situation in which the
facility's' noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause,
serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident) was identified in the presence of the facility's
Administrator (ADM) and the Director of Nursing (DON) regarding the facility's failure to ensure Resident 1
adequately and continuously received BLS, including CPR, resulting in Resident 1's death on [DATE]. On
[DATE] at 4:13 PM, the Administrator (ADM) provided an acceptable IJ Removal Plan (a detailed plan to
address the IJ findings). On [DATE] at 6:13 PM, while onsite and after the surveyor verified/confirmed the
facility's full implementation of the IJ Removal Plan through observation, interview, record review, and
determined that the IJ situation was no longer present, the IJ was removed onsite on [DATE] at 6:13 PM, in
the presence of the ADM and the Director of Nursing (DON). After the IJ was removed, the surveyor verified
that the facility's non-compliance remained at a lower scope of isolated (when one or a very limited number
of residents are affected and/or one or a very limited number of staff are involved) and lower severity of
Level 2 (noncompliance with the requirements for participation that results in the potential for no more than
minimal physical, mental, and/or psychosocial harm to the resident, but has the potential to result in more
than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy). On

[DATE] at 6:13 PM, the IJ was removed, in the presence of the ADM and the DON after the facility
submitted an acceptable IJ Removal Plan. The surveyor verified and confirmed the implementation of the IJ
Removal Plan while onsite through observation, interview, and record review. The acceptable IJ Removal
Plan included the following: On [DATE], Quality Assurance Nurse (QA) and the RN on duty initiated a
review of the current residents' care profile in the facility's electronic health record (EHR) system, Code
Status. The QA and the RN verified the residents' Code Status via Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining
Treatment (POLST -a portable medical order form that helps seriously ill or frail individuals specify their
end-of-life care wishes, such as CPR) forms and/or physician's orders for Code Status and input the data
accordingly in the residents' care profile under Code Status so that the information is readily available for
facility staff, including such events as a Code Blue to ensure all residents who have a full code status
receive effective BLS, including CPR. Out of 100 current residents, 66 residents have Full Code status. On
[DATE], a copy of the list of these Full Code residents was readily available to staff at the nurse's station for
reference and will be updated by the Social Services Director (SW) 1/designee on every
admission/readmission and as needed. On [DATE] and ongoing, the DON/Designee provided in-service
education to nursing staff regarding the availability of the list of residents who are Full Code. On [DATE], the
DON checked the EC and ensured that CPR backboard is available. The RN and/or Designated Licensed
Nurse conducted inventory on the EC utilizing the Emergency Cart Checklist and ensure that CPR
backboard is readily available. This was validated by the DON and/or Designee. The RN and/or Designated
Licensed Nurse will conduct inventory of the EC utilizing the Emergency Cart Checklist every shift to
ensure that all necessary items listed are readily available, including, but not limited to, the CPR backboard.
On [DATE] and ongoing, the DON initiated immediate in-service to RNs, LVNs, and CNAs regarding
ensuring a CPR backboard is readily available and used accordingly. On [DATE], the DON initiated
immediate in-service to RNs, LVNs, and CNAs regarding providing rescue breathing (a type of first aid
that's given to people who have stopped breathing), not placement of a non-rebreather mask (medical
device that delivers high concentrations of oxygen to individuals who can breathe independently but have
low blood oxygen). The DON will provide continued in-services for all of the facility's RNs, LVNs, and CNAs.
On [DATE], the DON initiated immediate in-service to RNs, LVNs, and CNAs regarding effective and
appropriate procedure for CPR, including performing adequate and appropriate chest compressions and
rescue breathing, effective and continuous CPR, and ensuring a CPR backboard is readily available and
used accordingly. The DON will provide continued in-services for all facility's Licensed Nurses and CNAs.
On [DATE], the Director of Staff Development (DSD) reviewed employee files for all current Licensed
Nurses and CNAs, specifically to validate that all CPR cards are up to date. There are currently 102 active
Direct Care Staff employed at the facility with a total of 16 RNs, 25 LVNs, and 61 CNAs are currently
employed at the facility. One LVN (LVN 2) and one CNA do not have a current CPR/BLS certification. On
[DATE], the identified CNA attended the CPR certification training. The CNA will be put on temporary

to Resident 1. RN 2 stated she could not remember if a backboard was placed under Resident 1 because
when the EMS crew arrived, the EMS crew placed Resident 1 on the floor and continued CPR on the floor.
During another phone interview on [DATE] at 3:35 PM with RN 1, RN 1 stated that on [DATE] when
Resident 1 was found unresponsive, she searched for Resident 1's code status and could not find it. RN 1
stated that when there is a resident that's unresponsive and pulseless, the facility staff must first search for
the resident's code status because if the resident's code status is a DNR (Do not Resuscitate, allow natural
death), they would not have to initiate code blue. During another phone interview on [DATE] at 3:44 PM with
CNA 1, CNA 1 stated that when she found Resident 1 unresponsive on [DATE] at around 3:, she did not
check Resident 1's pulse or respirations. CNA 1 stated she did not call for help by shouting code blue. CNA
1 added she did not initiate CPR. During a phone interview on [DATE] at 4:16 PM with EMS Crew,
Paramedic (PC) 1, PC 1 stated that on [DATE], PC 1 and PC 2 responded to the facility's call to 911 (a

1 stated Resident 1 was wearing a non-rebreather mask and staff were not using an Ambu-bag. PC 1
stated that an oxygen mask like the non-rebreather mask was not an appropriate equipment to use while
conducting a CPR. PC 1 stated that the Ambu-bag was observed right next to Resident 1's head of the bed
but was not being used by the facility staff because PC 1 observed that it was not inflated (be filled or
expanded with air) and not connected to an oxygen source. PC 1 also stated that the EMS crew had to
move Resident 1 from the bed to the floor because Resident 1 was not placed under a backboard while on
the bed. PC 1 stated that the EMS crew continued to perform CPR on Resident 1 for about 15 more
minutes. During a phone interview on [DATE] at 4:43 PM with another EMS Crew, PC 2, PC 2 stated that
on [DATE] when the EMS crew responded to the facility's 911 call, PC 2 observed one facility staff member
(unable to state the name and title) perform CPR on Resident 1. PC 2 stated that the facility staff member
was not performing adequate CPR because the rate was inconsistent and slow and described the facility
staff's compressions as it would stop and go and stop. PC 2 further stated that during his observation, the
facility staff member performing the CPR was only using one hand, instead of two hands during chest

may call for 911 and verify the resident's code status. During the same interview on [DATE] at 3:07 PM with
the DON, the DON stated that in order to deliver quality CPR, staff members must use a backboard and the
Ambu-bag. The DON stated that the backboard is placed under the resident when performing CPR. The
DON added that an Ambu-bag is used to provide the resident two rescue breaths after 30 compressions.
The DON also added that CPR must be performed at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. During
an interview on [DATE] at 3:15 PM with CNA 3, CNA 3 stated that she was hired by the facility in [DATE].
CNA 3 stated that she has not provided a copy of her CPR Certificate to the facility. CNA 3 stated that if she
finds a resident who is unresponsive, she will put the resident's chin up and perform CPR at the rate of 15
compressions per minute. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:05 PM with the DSD, the DSD stated that it is
her responsibility to ensure that all the facility's nursing staff have updated and non-expired licenses and
certifications. The DSD confirmed that since [DATE], CNA 3 has[TRUNCATED]

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary respiratory care and interventions in
accordance with the resident's respiratory care needs, care plan, facility policy and professional standards
of practice, the physician's order and facility's policy and procedure for one of two sampled residents
(Resident 1) diagnosed of respiratory failure (a condition where the lungs cannot supply enough oxygen or
remove carbon dioxide from the blood) with hypoxia (a life-threatening condition where the lungs fail to
deliver enough oxygen to the blood, leading to dangerously low oxygen levels in the body), chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a chronic lung disease causing difficulty breathing), emphysema (a
lung disease where the air sacs [alveoli] in the lungs are damaged, making breathing difficult) and recurrent
pneumonia (an infection/inflammation in the lungs) by failing to: 1. Administer respiratory medications
consistently as ordered for Resident 1 for COPD, chest congestion and shortness of breath. The Medication
Administration Record (MAR) indicated the following missed respiratory treatments: -Acetylcysteine
Inhalation Solution 20% (a medication used to thin mucus in the lungs) 25 (twenty-five) scheduled times
between [DATE] to [DATE]. -Budenoside Inhalation Suspension (a medication inhaled to reduce swelling in
the airways) 31 (thirty-one) scheduled times between [DATE] to [DATE]. -Ipratropium-albuterol Inhalation
Solution (a medication used in a nebulizer that combines two drugs to relax and open the airways) 60
(sixty) scheduled times between [DATE] to [DATE]. 2. Monitor Resident 1 for respiratory distress
(life-threatening condition that causes severe difficulty breathing. It occurs when the lungs become inflamed
and damaged, making it difficult for oxygen to reach the bloodstream) and change in respiratory condition,
in accordance with the resident's care plan for COPD and emphysema when Nurse Practitioner (NP) 1
identified Resident 1 on [DATE] as having cough, congestion, abnormal lung sounds and respiratory
distress with oxygen saturation of 93% at 3 liter of oxygen and Registered Nurse (RN) 5 received abnormal
laboratory (lab) and chest Xray (CXR - (a type of imaging that uses electromagnetic radiation to view
internal structures of the body) results on [DATE]. 3. Revise and implement Resident 1's care plan to
assess or monitor Resident 1's respiratory status that included assessment of lung sounds and monitoring
Resident 1's worsening cough and congestion to initiate nursing interventions, after receiving Resident 1's
abnormal laboratory (lab) and CXR results on [DATE]. 4. Notify Medical Doctor (MD) 1 of Resident 1's
elevated white blood cell (WBC - a blood cell that helps attack infection or injury in the body) count and
abnormal chest x-ray results indicating mild patchy opacity (an area that appears white or dense on an
x-ray) in the left lower lung which represented a potential indicator of lung infection. This deficient practice
had the potential to result to medical and respiratory complications which included severe respiratory
distress/failure, collapsed lungs, septicemia that may lead to hospitalization and/or death. Furthermore,
these deficient practices delayed necessary medical evaluation and treatment of Resident 1's respiratory
condition from [DATE] to [DATE]. On [DATE], Resident 1 was found unresponsive and pulseless at 3:05 PM.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) was performed and Resident 1 was later pronounced dead on
[DATE] at 3:48 PM by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Cross referenced to F678Findings: During a
review of Resident 1's admission Record, the record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including COPD, emphysema, respiratory failure (a condition where the lungs
cannot supply enough oxygen or remove carbon dioxide from the blood) with hypoxia (a condition in which
body tissues do not receive enough oxygen to function properly), recurrent pneumonia (an
infection/inflammation in the lungs) and vascular dementia (changes to memory, thinking, and behavior
resulting from conditions that affect the blood vessels in the brain). During a review of Residents

CP indicated a goal for Resident 1 to maintain O2 sat within personal goal range. The CP indicated
interventions to evaluate capillary refill, evaluate for change in level of consciousness, evaluate for
restlessness, evaluate for use of accessory muscles while breathing, evaluate mental status, evaluate
respiratory rate and effort, evaluate skin color, temperature and characteristics, monitor for changes in
respiratory rate or shallow breathing, and monitor for use of accessory muscles. During another review of
Resident 1's CP initiated on [DATE] and revised [DATE], the CP indicated Resident 1 had oxygen therapy
related to respiratory illness. The CP indicated goals for Resident 1 not to have signs and symptoms of poor
oxygen absorption. The CP also indicated to monitor for signs and symptoms of respiratory distress and
report to the MD as needed: respirations, O2 sat, increased heart rate, restlessness, sweating, headaches,
lethargy, confusion, atelectasis (partial or complete lung collapse), hemoptysis (coughing blood), cough,
painful breathing, accessory muscle usage, and skin color. During further review of Resident 1's current
care plans, the CPs did not include a revised/updated care plan for Resident 1's new onset or worsening
cough and congestion that included at risk for infection related to the abnormally high WBC lab results and
abnormal chest x-ray received on [DATE]. During an interview with RN 5 on [DATE] at 11:08 AM, RN 5
stated that Resident 1's lab and diagnostic results were faxed to the facility on [DATE], and the results were
reviewed by the RN on shift. The RN was responsible for sending lab and diagnostic results to the MD and
obtaining new orders. During the same interview with RN 5, RN 5 stated she was aware NP 1 came to
facility on [DATE] and placed new orders for Resident 1 that included CBC, CMP, chest x-ray, and CPT with
Acetylcysteine for Resident 1's worsening cough and congestion. RN 5 further stated that these new orders
should have triggered her to initiate a CIC/SBAR and assess Resident 1's respiratory condition because it
was a change in the resident's condition, but RN 5 stated that she did not initiate a CIC/SBAR to
assess/monitor Resident 1's respiratory condition such as lung sounds or breathing to ensure Resident 1
was not in respiratory distress or experiencing shortness of breath. During another interview with RN 5 on

5 stated she did not call MD1's office or NP 1's cellular phone to confirm receipt of Resident 1's lab and
CXR results. RN 5 stated that she should have called MD 1's office or NP 1 to verify the receipt of Resident
1's lab and CXR results. RN 5 stated that elevated WBCs of 16.85 x10*3/ul and a chest x-ray with left lung
opacities indicated an infectious process and not relaying the results to MD 1 or NP 1 delayed the
provider's from providing orders to treat Resident 1's respiratory infection. During the same interview with
RN 5 [DATE] at 4:54 PM, RN 5 stated that she should have also initiated a CIC/SBAR on [DATE] for
Resident 1's elevated WBCs of 16.85 x10*3/ul and a chest x-ray with left lung opacities and assessed
Resident 1 for signs of respiratory distress or shortness of breath, but she did not. During a concurrent
record review and interview with RN 5 on [DATE] at 4:54 PM, Resident 1's Progress Notes for [DATE] was
reviewed. RN 5 stated she did not document that she notified MD 1 or NP 1 of Resident 1's abnormal lab
results indicating elevated WBC and abnormal CXR. RN 5 stated that there was no documentation in the
progress notes of any licensed nurses discussing the WBC or chest x-ray results with NP 1 or MD 1. RN 5
also stated there was no documentation of a CIC/SBAR or assessment and monitoring by licensed nurses
for cough and congestion after [DATE] after NP 1 ordered CBC, CMP, CXR, and CPT with Acetylcysteine
for Resident 1's cough and congestion in the progress notes. RN 5 also stated the progress notes did not
contain documentation of a CIC/SBAR with assessment and monitoring for Resident 1's WBC of 16.85
x10*3/ul and CXR with left lung opacity. During an interview with MD 1 on [DATE] at 11:23 AM, MD 1 stated
that Resident 1's WBC of 16.85 x10*3/ul and chest x-ray results with left lung opacities were not received
by her office. MD 1 also stated that the facility did not have NP 1 or MD 1's direct cellphone numbers,
thereby making it impossible for any residents' results to be received via text message. MD 1 further stated
the facility's nurses had a practice of documenting lab and diagnostic results were faxed to her office, even
if the lab and diagnostic results were not confirmed as received. MD 1 elaborated that the facility's nurses
would document physician notified without actual notification. MD 1 stated that the facility's nurses should
have called her practice to verify receipt of lab and diagnostic results. During an interview with RN 3 on
[DATE] at 12:51 PM, RN 3 stated she was familiar with Resident 1. RN 3 stated the text messages to NP 1
would not work because the number used was actually the direct line to MD 1's operator and would not be
able to receive text messages. RN 3 stated that Resident 1's lab and CXR results should have been faxed
to MD 1's office, with verbal confirmation from MD1's office staff by phone. During the same interview with
RN 3 on [DATE] at 12:51 PM, RN 3 stated that abnormal lab results were considered a change in a
resident's condition. RN 3 further explained that there were two missed opportunities for RN 5 to initiate a
CIC/SBAR and conduct an assessment of Resident 1: 1. When RN 5 received NP 1's orders of labs,
chest-x-ray and new respiratory treatments for Resident 1's chest congestion and cough 2. When RN 5
received Resident 1's results indicating elevated WBCs of 16.85 x10*3/ul and chest x-ray with left lung
opacities, RN 3 stated Resident 1 should have been assessed for shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
so that staff can properly intervene if the resident was in respiratory distress. By not doing so, Resident 1
could die from respiratory complications. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE]
at 11:41 AM, the DON further stated that nurses were expected to perform a full head-to-toe assessment
when residents experience a change in condition. The DON stated this was important to fully understand
the resident's clinical status and what interventions needed to be done. The DON stated that, by failing to
properly assess Resident 1 and initiate a CIC/SBAR for continued assessment and monitoring of Resident
1's respiratory status, the resident was at risk for further decline. During an interview with MD 2 on [DATE]

at 3:45 PM, MD 2 stated if the facility's staff could not get ahold of a resident's primary MD regarding
abnormal lab/diagnostic results or change in condition, they were directed to call the medical director.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE] at 5:57 PM,
Resident 1's MAR for September to [DATE] was reviewed. The DON stated she could not find documented
evidence that the Acetylcysteine, Budenoside, and Ipratropium-Albuterol respiratory medications were
administered Resident 1. The DON further stated that by not receiving the respiratory medications as
ordered, Resident 1 was placed at risk of COPD exacerbation (a sudden worsening of breathing symptoms,
such as increased shortness of breath, cough, or sputum), which could lead to hospitalization or death.
During another interview with MD 1 on [DATE] at 2:30 PM, MD 1 stated that NP 1 ordered CPT with
Acetylcysteine to help with Resident 1's worsening chest congestion while waiting for the lab and chest
x-ray results. MD 1 further stated that if she was made aware of Resident 1's abnormal chest x-ray with left
lung opacity and elevated WBC of 16.85 x10*3/ul, she would have ordered antibiotics for Resident 1. MD 1
stated that Resident 1 could have become septic if the infection was left untreated. During the same
interview with MD 1, MD 1 stated that Acetylcystiene, Budenoside, and Ipratropium-Albuterol respiratory
medications were ordered specifically to help with Resident 1's COPD and missing several doses,
especially consecutively, could trigger Resident 1 to experience a COPD exacerbation, further explaining
that this could have led to Resident 1 experiencing a medical emergency from COPD exacerbation. During
a review of the facility's P&P titled Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, revised February 20121, the
P&P indicated the following: 1. The nurse will notify the resident's attending physician or physician on call
when there has been a significant change in the resident's physical/emotional/mental condition. 2. A
significant change of condition is a major decline or improvement in the resident's status that will not
normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease-related clinical
interventions 3. Except in medical emergencies, notification will be made within 24 hours of a change
occurring in the resident's medical/mental condition or status. 4. Prior to notifying the physician or
healthcare provider, the nurse will make detailed observations and gather relevant and pertinent
information for the provider, including (for example) information prompted by the Interact SBAR
Communication Form. 5. The nurse will record in the resident' s medical record information relative to
changes in the resident's medical/mental condition or status. During a review of the facility's P&P titled
Resident Examination and Assessment, the P&P indicated the purpose of this procedure is to examine and
assess the resident for any abnormalities in health status, which provides a basis for the care plan. The
P&P further indicated how to perform a full head-to-toe assessment and indicated to notify the physician of
any abnormalities such as labored breathing; breath sounds that are not clear; or cough, productive or
nonproductive. During a review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled Administering Medications
dated [DATE], the P&P indicated, Medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders,
including any required timeframe.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure four out of five facility staff members,
Registered Nurses (RNs)?1 and 2, and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs)?1 and 2, demonstrated
competencies and skill sets necessary to provide emergency response and perform cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR-CPR is an emergency, life?saving procedure performed when the heart stops beating
and involves chest compressions at a rate of 100-120?beats per minute (bpm) and rescue breaths to
maintain blood flow and oxygenation) as indicated in the facilities policy and procedure (PP) for Emergency
Procedure - Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and the American Red Cross CPR guidance as evidence by:
1. CNA 1 stated it took two (2) minutes to check for an unresponsive resident's pulse and breathing prior to
performing CPR. 2.CNA 2 stated it took thirty (30) seconds to check for an unresponsive resident's pulse
and breathing prior to performing CPR. 3.CNA 1 and CNA 2 failed to indicate the correct chest
compressions at a rate of 100 - 120 bpm. 4. Registered Nurse (RN) 1 failed to demonstrate how to set up,
turn it on, and check if the portable suction device (machine used to pull liquids away from the mouth or
throat) and emergency oxygen tank (portable metal cylinder containing compressed oxygen) was operable
as part of the emergency equipment in accordance with the facility's PP titled Disposable Suction Canister.
5. Registered Nurse (RN) 1 and RN 2 failed to identify the location of the emergency supplies in the
emergency crash cart such as the adult oxygen masks (medical device that fits over the nose and mouth to
deliver oxygen from the oxygen tank to the lungs), suction catheters (thin flexible tube connected to a
portable suction device to remove fluids from the resident's mouth or throat), short and long connective
tubing for the suction machine, and the CPR mask/shield (small plastic barrier to deliver safe recuse
breaths to an unresponsive resident) in accordance with the facility's PP Suctioning the Upper Airway, 6.
RN 1 failed to state the correct chest compression rate of 100-120 bpm and the depth of compressions at 2
inches or 5 centimeters. 7. Director of Staff Development (DSD) failed to demonstrate proficient chest
compressions at a rate of 100 - 120 bpm. 8. The facility failed to evaluate the competency and skills set of
RNs 1 and 2 and CNs 1 and 2 to determine the understanding and compliance of the Licensed Nurses
(LNs) or CNAs with CPR to training provided during these Mock Code Blue (life threatening emergencies
that require immediate CPR) Drills. These deficient practices had the potential to result in ineffective and
poor-quality CPR and emergency response, which may lead to rib fractures (broken bone), irreversible
brain damage due to prolonged lack of oxygen, and ultimately preventable death. Findings: During a
concurrent observation and interview on [DATE] at 3:36 PM, CNA 1was asked to demonstration CPR skills
as instructed during the Mock Code Blue Drill held on [DATE]. CNA 1 stated, if a resident was found
unresponsive, he would check the resident's chest rise and pulse on the neck for two (2) minutes before
initiating chest compressions. CNA 1 stated, he did not know the correct rate of the chest compressions,
but he sings happy birthday slowly while performing chest compressions. During a concurrent observation
and interview on [DATE] at 4PM with CNA 2, CNA 2 was asked to demonstrate how to perform CPR as
instructed during the Mock Code Blue Drill held in [DATE]. CNA 2 was observed pressing two fingers to
check the carotid pulse on the right side of her neck and then performed chest compressions. CNA 2
stated, if a resident was found unresponsive, she needed to check if the resident had chest rise and a pulse
for thirty (30) seconds. CNA 2 stated, she was not sure how fast the compressions should be, but she just
needed to count fast. During a concurrent observation and interview on [DATE] at 4:32 PM with RN 1 in
front of the emergency crash cart, RN 1 was observed checking the emergency crash cart using the
Emergency Cart Checklist document. RN 1 stated,

she has not checked the emergency crash cart for today. RN 1 was asked to demonstrate how to operate
the suction machine and oxygen tank and the emergency equipment in the emergency cart. During the
interview, RN 1 stated: 1.She he did not know where the adult oxygen masks, suction catheters, short and
long connective tubing for the suction catheters, and the CPR mask/shield were located. 2. She did not
know where the personal protective equipment (PPE) was located in the emergency cart. 3. She did not
know how to connect, turn on, and check if the suction machine was operable and found the [NAME]
suction tip (a rigid plastic medical device used to clear fluids from the mouth or throat) not connected to the
machine. 4. She did not know how to check if the oxygen tank was operable or contained oxygen. During
the same observation and interview on [DATE] at 4:40 PM with RN 1 in front of the emergency crash cart,
RN 1 stated she did not know what pressure the suction machine should be set at. RN 1 stated, it was
important to be familiar with the emergency crash cart to ensure all equipment was operable in case of
emergency because it can make a difference in a life-or-death situation. During an observation and
interview on [DATE] at 4:50 PM with RN 1 was asked to demonstrate how to perform CPR as instructed
during the in-service and the Mock Code Blue Drill held on [DATE]. RN 1 stated the rate of compressions
for CPR was 100 - 110 bpm and the compression depth was 1/3 of the chest. RN 1 stated, the facility
conducts weekly mock Code Blue Drills where all the LNs and CNAs were required to participate by
demonstrating how to perform chest compressions, verbally answer knowledge- based and scenario-based
questions related to CPR, and signing the in-service sign-in sheet. RN 1 stated, there was no
documentation to indicate the staffs were evaluated for competencies, understanding and the effectiveness
of the mock Code Blue Drills for the LNs and CNAs. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:30 AM, with the
Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated that during the facility's Mock Code Blue Drills, each
licensed nurse (LN) and CNA demonstrated CPR by performing thirty (30) chest compressions to two (2)
breaths using an ambu-bag (a handheld portable device used to manually deliver oxygen into the lungs) for
two (2) minutes. During the same observation and interview on [DATE] at 9:45 AM with the DSD, the DSD
was asked to demonstrate how to perform CPR as instructed during the in-service and Mock Code Blue
Drill held in [DATE]. The DSD was observed with her bilateral arms straight, elbows locked, and hands on
top of each other and interacted together performing chest compressions on top of the overbed side table.
The DSD stated the chest compression count rate per beat was 1 one thousand, 2 one thousand, 3 one
thousand, 4 one thousand until 30 one thousand. During the same interview on [DATE] at 10 AM with the
DSD, the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated that Registered Nurses (RNs) are the primary point of
contact during any Code Blue situation and they are expected to know the location of emergency supplies
in the crash cart and ensure that all emergency equipment is operable at each shift. During a concurrent
observation and interview on [DATE] at 11:56 AM, in front of the emergency crash cart, RN 2 was observed
checking the crash cart using the facility's Emergency Cart Checklist document. RN 2 did not know the
location of the suction catheters and CPR masks/shields within the crash cart. During the interview, RN 2
stated it was important to check if the equipment was operable and to know the location of emergency
equipment because it can be time-consuming looking for equipment. RN 2 further stated that the portable
suction device should be set at a negative pressure of 200-300 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). During a
concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 4:30 PM, during an interview with the Director of Staff
Development (DSD) and review of the facility's ETP Attendance Roster (Single Day) dated [DATE], the DSD
stated she monitored the effectiveness of the mock Code Blue Drills through staff verbal responses, return
demonstrations, and participation as evidenced by the in-service sign-in roster. The DSD further stated
there was no documented evidence the competencies and understanding of the

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from significant medication
errors for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1). Licensed nurses did not administer prescribed
respiratory medications to Resident 1, who had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic
lung disease causing breathing difficulty) and was oxygen-dependent. Missed doses included:
Acetylcysteine Inhalation Solution 20% (used to thin mucus in the lungs): 25 scheduled doses between
September and November 2025 Budesonide Inhalation Suspension (reduces airway inflammation): 31
scheduled doses between September and November 2025 Ipratropium-Albuterol Inhalation Solution
(relaxes and opens airways): 60 scheduled doses between September and November 2025 This failure
placed Resident 1 at risk for respiratory compromise and deterioration related to COPD exacerbation,
potentially resulting in further complications and hospitalization. Cross referenced to F678 Findings: During
a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including COPD, emphysema, respiratory failure (a condition where the lungs
cannot supply enough oxygen or remove carbon dioxide from the blood) with hypoxia (a condition in which
body tissues do not receive enough oxygen to function properly), recurrent pneumonia (an
infection/inflammation in the lungs) and vascular dementia (changes to memory, thinking, and behavior
resulting from conditions that affect the blood vessels in the brain). During a review of Residents 1's
Minimum Data Sheet (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 10/6/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1
had significantly impaired cognition (the ability to process thoughts) and was dependent on staff for all
cares such as eating, bathing, and rolling left and right in bed. During a review of Resident 1's Care Plan
(CP) initiated on 4/11/2025 at revised 11/18/2025, the CP indicated Resident 1 had impaired gas exchange
related to ineffective airway clearance, dyspnea (difficulty breathing)/ shortness of breath (SOB), COPD,
and emphysema. The CP further indicated interventions to administer medications as ordered. During a
review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the months of September, October, and
November 2025, the MAR indicated the following orders: 1. Acetylcysteine Inhalation Solution 20% three
mL (milliliter- a unit measure of volume) inhale orally two times a day for COPD, start date 9/30/2025. 2.
Budenoside Inhalation Suspension 0.25 milligram (mg- a unit of measurement)/2 mL, inhale two mL orally
every morning and at bedtime for COPD, start date 3/3/2025. 3. Ipratropium-Albuterol Inhalation Solution
0.5-2.5 mg (3 mg)/3 mL, inhale three mL orally four times a day for congestion/breathing treatment, start
date 6/16/2025. During a continued review of resident 1's MAR for the months of September, October, and
November 2025 indicated no documentation on the following days and times for Resident 1's
Acetylcysteine Inhalation Solution: 9/30/2025 at 6 PM, 10/1/2025 at 6 PM, 10/2/2025 at 6 PM, 10/3/2025 at

record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/2/2026 at 5:57 PM, Resident 1's MAR for September
to December 2026 was reviewed. The DON stated she could not find documented evidence that the
Acetylcysteine, Budenoside, and Ipratropium-Albuterol respiratory medications were administered Resident
1. The DON further stated that by not receiving the respiratory medications as ordered, Resident 1 was
placed at risk of COPD exacerbation (a sudden worsening of breathing symptoms, such as increased
shortness of breath, cough, or sputum), which could lead to hospitalization or death. During an interview
with MD 1 on 1/5/2026 at 2:30 PM, MD 1 stated that Acetylcystiene, Budenoside, and Ipratropium-Albuterol
respiratory medications were ordered specifically to help with Resident 1's COPD and missing several
doses, especially consecutively, could trigger Resident 1 to experience a COPD exacerbation, further
explaining that this could have led to Resident 1 experiencing a medical emergency from COPD
exacerbation. During a review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled Administering Medications
dated April 2019, the P&P indicated, Medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders,
including any required timeframe.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to verify received or follow up with the attending physician
(Medical Doctor [MD] 1) and/or the Nurse Practitioner (NP) 1 of the abnormal laboratory and diagnostic
results for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) with abnormal laboratory and diagnostic results.
Resident 1 had an elevated white blood cell (WBC - a blood cell that helps attack infection or injury in the
body) count of 16.85 x10*3/ul (thousands of cells per microliter- a unit of measurement [Normal range
4.0-11.0 x10*3/ul]) and abnormal chest x-ray (a type of imaging that uses electromagnetic radiation to view
internal structures of the body) results indicating mild patchy opacity (an area that appears white or dense
on an x-ray) in the left lower lung which represented a potential indicator of lung infection. This failure
resulted in Resident 1 not to receive necessary medical intervention such as prescribing antibiotics
(medication used to treat infection) which placed Resident 1 at risk for worsening infection, respiratory
distress, sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection), hospitalization, and death. Cross referenced to F695
and F678 Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the record indicated Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a
chronic lung disease causing difficulty breathing), emphysema (a lung disease where the air sacs [alveoli]
in the lungs are damaged, making breathing difficult), respiratory failure (a condition where the lungs
cannot supply enough oxygen or remove carbon dioxide from the blood) with hypoxia (a condition in which
body tissues do not receive enough oxygen to function properly), recurrent pneumonia (an
infection/inflammation in the lungs) and aneurysm of specified arteries (localized bulge on the wall of the
blood vessels which pose a risk for rupture). During a review of Residents 1's Minimum Data Sheet (MDSa resident assessment tool) dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 1 had significantly impaired
cognition (the ability to process thoughts) and was dependent on staff for all cares such as eating, bathing,
and rolling left and right in bed. During a review of Resident 21's Care Plan, initiated on [DATE] and revised
[DATE], indicated Resident 1 had impaired gas exchange. The intervention included to monitor and report
any respiratory distress to the MD. During a review of Resident 1's MD Progress Notes (PN) dated [DATE],
the notes indicated Resident 1 was assessed by Nurse Practitioner (NP) 1. The PN indicated Resident 1's
lung exam exhibited rales (abnormal crackling sounds in the lungs when breathing) with respiratory
distress, coughing and with oxygen saturation of 93% (normal range 90-100%) while receiving 3 L/min
(liters per minute- a unit measuring the flow rate of oxygen through a delivery device). The PN indicated to
continue regular breathing treatments as scheduled, physical therapy, chest percussion therapy (CPT- a
technique that uses rhythmic clapping on the chest and back to loosen and clear mucus from the lungs) two
times a day with administration of Mucomyst (acetylcysteine- a medication used to thin or loosen up mucus
in the lungs), wean off of oxygen, obtain chest x-ray, and labs that included CBC (complete blood count)
and CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) to rule out possible cause of infection. During a review of
Resident 1's Orders Report (a physician's order by MD 1) dated [DATE] indicated to obtain CBC and CMP,
and Chest X-ray due to congestion and cough. During a review of Resident 1's lab results collected on
[DATE] at 8:10 AM and resulted on[DATE] at 12:59 PM, faxed to the facility on [DATE] at 1:10 PM, indicated
an (elevated) WBC 16.85 x10*3/ul (Normal range 4.0-11.0 x10*3/ul). During a review of Resident 1's Final
chest X-ray report dated [DATE], the report indicated mild patchy opacity in left lower lung represent
infectious process and a suggestion for radiographic follow-up examination to look for resolution, faxed to
the facility on [DATE] at 11:13 PM. During a review of RN 5's text thread to NP 1 on (RN 5) [DATE] from the

Supervisor (RN5) phone, the text thread indicated pictures of Resident 1's faxed lab results for the CBC
and CMP drawn on [DATE] and the faxed chest x-ray results from [DATE]. The text thread did not indicate a
confirmation of delivery or a response from NP 1. During a review of Resident 1's Progress Notes for the
month of [DATE], the Progress Notes indicated the following information: -On [DATE] timed at 10:36 PM, NP
1 came to see Resident 1 and ordered chest x-ray for congestion and cough, CBC and CMP for congestion
and cough, and CPT two times a day with Acetylcysteine Inhalation Solution 20% in 3mL inhale orally two
times a day -On?[DATE],?timed at 4:10 PM,?and?signed?by?RN?1,?the?note?indicated?that at 3:15
PM,?the Charge Nurse?reported to [RN 1] that?she saw the resident during rounds unresponsive, RN
1?assessed the resident and?could not?obtain the resident's blood pressure, RN 1 instructed one of the
team members to start CPR right away which was continued until the?Emergency Medical Services
(EMS?-?a system that provides emergency medical care) crew from the local Fire Department
(FD)?arrived?at 3:29 PM. The PN indicated Resident 1 was pronounced deceased at 3:48 PM.? A review
of Resident 1's PN indicated no evidence that a physician or NP were notified of Resident 1's abnormal lab
or x-ray results and the abnormal WBC. The progress notes also did have a documented change in
condition (CIC/SBAR- a communication tool used by healthcare workers when there is a change of
condition among the residents) report or assessment related to Resident 1's WBC 16.85 x10*3/ul or chest
x-ray with left lung opacity. During an interview with RN 5 on [DATE] at 11:08 AM, RN 5 stated lab and
diagnostic results were faxed to the facility, and the results were reviewed by the RN on shift. The RN was
responsible for sending lab and diagnostic results to the MD and obtaining new orders. RN 5 further
explained that important results to send to the MD included opacities in a chest x-ray. During another
interview with RN 5 on [DATE] at 4:54 PM, RN 5 stated that she sent Resident 1's lab and diagnostic
results by text messages to NP 1 but did receive responses back from NP 1. RN 5 further stated that she
also faxed Resident 1's results to MD 1's office but she did not verify or followed up with the physician if the
lab results were received. RN 5 stated that elevated WBCs of 16.85 x10*3/ul and a chest x-ray with left lung
opacities indicated an infectious process and not relaying the results delayed the providers from treating
Resident 1's infection. During an interview with MD 1 on [DATE] at 11:23 AM, MD 1 stated that Resident 1's
WBC of 16.85 x10*3/ul and chest x-ray results with left lung opacities were never received by faxed or text
by her practice. MD 1 also stated that the facility did not have NP 1 or MD 1's cellphone numbers. thereby
making it impossible for any residents' results to be received by text. MD 1 further stated the facility's nurses
had a practice of documenting lab and diagnostic results were faxed to her practice, but the results were
never received. MD 1 elaborated that the facility's nurses would document physician notified without actual
notification. MD 1 stated that the facility's nurses should have called her practice to verify receipt of lab and
diagnostic results. During an interview with RN 3 on [DATE] at 12:51 PM, RN 3 stated the text messages to
NP 1 would not work because the number used was actually the direct line to MD 1's operator and could
not receive text messages. RN 3 stated that lab and diagnostic results should have been faxed to MD 1's
practice, with verbal confirmation of receipt by phone. During an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON) on [DATE] at 11:41 AM, the DON stated that faxing residents' results to an MD was not enough;
nurses were expected to call the MD and verify receipt of the results then document notification in a
progress note with who the nurse spoke to, what results were discussed, and if any new orders were
placed related to the results received. The DON further explained that Resident 1's WBC 16.85 x10*3/ul
and chest x-ray with left lung opacity warranted a Change in Condition (CIC/SBAR- a communication tool
used by healthcare workers when there is a change of condition among the residents) and therefore MD 1
should have been notified of the resident's change

in status. During an interview with MD 2 on [DATE] at 3:45 PM, MD 2 stated if the facility's staff cannot get a
hold of a resident's primary MD regarding abnormal lab/diagnostic results or change in condition, they were
informed to call the medical director. During another interview with MD 1 on [DATE] at 2:30 PM, MD 1
stated that NP 1 ordered CPT with Acetylcysteine to help with Resident 1's new chest congestion while
waiting for the lab and chest x-ray results. MD 1 further stated that if she was made aware of Resident 1's
chest x-ray with left lung opacity and WBC 16.85 x10*3/ul, she would have ordered antibiotics for the
resident. MD 1 stated that Resident 1 could have become septic if the infection was left untreated. During a
review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Lab and Diagnostic Test Results - Clinical Protocol,
revised [DATE], the P&P indicated the following: 1. When test results are reported to the facility, a nurse will
first review the results 2. Before contacting the physician, the person who is to communicate results to a
physician will gather, review, and organize the information and be prepared to discuss the individual's
current condition and details of any recent changes in status such as major diagnoses and any recent
pertinent lab work. 3. A nurse will identify the urgency of communicating with the Attending Physician, the
seriousness of any abnormality, and the individual's current condition. 4. Nursing staff will consider whether
the resident's clinical status is unclear or he/she has signs and symptoms of acute illness or condition
change and is not stable or improving to identify situations requiring prompt physician notification
concerning lab or diagnostic test results. 5. A physician can be notified by phone, fax, voicemail, e-mail,
mail, pager or a telephone message to another person acting as the physician's agent (for example, office
staff). a. Facility staff should document information about when, how, and to whom the information was
provided and the response. This should be done in the Progress Notes section of the medical record. b.
Direct voice communication with the physician is the preferred means for presenting any results requiring
immediate notification, especially when the resident's clinical status is unstable or current treatment needs
review or clarification. 6. Physicians or nurses who have concerns about how test results have been
handled or reported should communicate such concerns to the DON and/or Medical Director. Such
concerns or disagreements should not prevent timely, clinically appropriate management of a current result
or clinical situation. During a review of the facility's P&P titled Change in a Resident's Condition or Status,
revised February 20121, the P&P indicated the following: 1. The nurse will notify the resident's attending
physician or physician on call when there has been a significant change in the resident's
physical/emotional/mental condition. 2. A significant change of condition is a major decline or improvement
in the resident's status that will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing
standard disease-related clinical interventions 3. Except in medical emergencies, notification will be made
within 24 hours of a change occurring in the resident's medical/mental condition or status.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a chronic lung
disease causing difficulty in breathing), emphysema (a lung disease where the air sacs [alveoli] in the lungs
are damaged, making breathing difficult), respiratory failure (a condition where the lungs cannot supply
enough oxygen or remove carbon dioxide from the blood) with hypoxia (a condition in which body tissues
do not receive enough oxygen to function properly), and recurrent pneumonia (an infection/inflammation in
the lungs). During a review of Residents 1's Minimum Data Sheet (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated
10/6/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had significantly impaired cognition (the ability to process
thoughts) and was dependent on staff for all cares such as eating, bathing, and rolling left and right in bed.
During a review of Resident 1's care plan (CP) initiated on 4/11/2025 at revised on 11/18/2025, the CP
indicated Resident 1 had an impaired gas exchange related to ineffective airway clearance, dyspnea
(difficulty breathing), shortness of breath (SOB), COPD, and emphysema. The CP indicated goal for
appropriate interventions that will improve airway function, maintain a patent airway, optimal
oxygenation/ventilation, oxygen saturation (O2 sat- the percentage of oxygen in the blood) maintained
greater than 92% (normal range for COPD: 88% - 92%), and mobilize secretions. The CP indicated
interventions to administer medications as ordered. During a review of Resident 1's Medication
Administration Record (MAR) for December 2025, the MAR indicated the following orders: 1. Order start
dated 9/30/2025, the order indicated to administer Acetylcysteine (a medication used to thin mucus in the
lungs) Inhalation Solution 20% three mL (milliliter- a unit measure of volume) inhale orally two times a day
for COPD, 2. Order start dated 3/3/2025, the order indicated to administer Budenoside (a medication
inhaled to reduce swelling in the airways) Inhalation Suspension 0.25 milligram (mg- a unit of
measurement)/2 mL, inhale two mL orally every morning and at bedtime for COPD. 3. Order start dated
6/16/2025, the order indicated to administer Ipratropium-Albuterol (a medication used in a nebulizer that
combines two drugs to relax and open the airways) Inhalation Solution 0.5-2.5 mg (3 mg)/3 mL, inhale
three mL orally four times a day for congestion/breathing treatment. During a review of Resident 1's

medications Resident 1 received. LVN 9 stated she could only remember that Resident 1 received Albuterol
breathing treatments, but stated she could not remember if the resident also received Budenoside or
Acetylcysteine. LVN 9 also stated she could not recall what time she gave Resident 1's medications on
12/4/2025 or if any of the resident's medications were withheld for the month of December 2025. LVN 9
further stated that she was responsible for administering medications to many residents and therefore could
not remember what medications she gave in the past, specifically for December 2025, or what time she
administered them to Resident 1. During the same interview with LVN 9 on 1/2/2026 at 5:18 PM, LVN 9
stated the reason she documented Resident 1's acetylcysteine, budenoside, and ipratropium-albuterol
administrations on 12/30/2025 and 1/1/2026 was because Medical Records Assistant (MRA) 1 audited
Resident 1's MAR and discovered missing administration documentation. LVN 9 stated that when Medical
Records notified her of the missing administration documentation, she then documented that she
administered the medications in order to complete the audit. LVN 9 explained that this was her usual
practice of completing medical record audits for medication administrations. LVN 9 further stated she knew
she was supposed to document medication administrations immediately after administering the medication,
but stated she forgot about it until MRA 1 audited her documentation. During an interview with the Director
of Nursing (DON) on 1/2/2026 at 5:57 PM, the DON stated that LVN 3 and LVN 9 should have documented
Resident 1's medication administrations in a timely manner. If there were issues with the MAR, they were
required to document why medications were documented at a later time in Resident 1's progress notes. The
DON stated that physicians and nurses use documentation to monitor effectiveness and adverse reactions
to medications, and if the records were inaccurate, providers may delay adjusting medications or initiating
new treatments. During a phone interview with MRA 1 on 1/13/2026 at 1:51 PM, MRA 1 stated he did MAR
audits every day with a lookback period of up to 30 days. MRA 1 stated that the audit specifically searched
for missing documentation in a resident's MAR. After finding missing documentation, MRA 1 stated he
submitted the audit report to the DON and the DON would tell the licensed nurses to complete the
documentation. MRA 1 stated that the audit would be considered resolved if the nurse documented that the
medication was administered or a reason the medication was not administered. During a review of the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Administering Medications revised April 2019, the P&P indicated,
The individual administering the medication initials the resident's MAR on the appropriate line after giving
each medication and before administering the next one.
