A review of a facility policy titled Informed Consent Policy, undated, under documentation form, indicated
This verification that informed consent was given shall be made available to the facility from either the
person who obtained the consent (physician or nurse practitioner - only if they were the one who prescribed
the medication) or who gave the consent (patient/resident, or responsible party, if patient/resident is not
capable) in either verbal, FAX, e-mail, or document (copy or original). The facility staff who are authorized to
take such orders shall either document or include the printed or electronic version of the IC with the
patient's medical record. Informed consent policy under procedure: When a medication is going to be used
in a psychotherapeutic manner the facility will need to verify from the physician or their office staff that IC
has been obtained .The facility will need to obtain the indication for use from the physician. The facility
provided its informed consent policy, which states that The facility shall verify that informed consent (IC) has
been obtained by the physician before a psychotherapeutic medication is administered except the it is
deemed to be an emergency situation, or the resident refuses to want to know or the physician deems the
information contained in the IC would be too disturbing.
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including heart failure, acute and chronic
respiratory failure with hypercapnia (a disease affecting the lungs ability to remove carbon dioxide or deliver
oxygen to your blood) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with acute exacerbation and
bronchitis due to respiratory syncytial virus (COPD refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow
blockage and breathing related problems complicated by a respiratory infection) and cognitive
communication deficit (difficulty communicating, thinking, remembering and responding accurately).

supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula from 1/6/2024 to 1/11/2024 during the day, and room air only from
1/11/2024 to 1/13/2024 at night. Resident 1 received BiPAP at bedtime only from 1/12/24 to 1/16/2024.
A review of document titled Minimum Data Set (MDS is a tool for implementing standardized assessment
and facilitating care management in nursing homes) dated 1/5/2024, by MDS Registered Nurse (MDS RN)
no documentation for BiPAP was found in the record.
A review of a Care Conference note dated 1/12/2024, a meeting was held between Responsible Party (RP,
decision maker), Social Services Director (SSD), Director of Nursing (DON), and Administrator (Admin). RP
expressed a concern that Resident 1 was not receiving BiPAP. After the care conference concluded, RP
called SSD and repeated her concerns. SSD and Admin approached LVN 1 and questioned where the
BiPAP machine was located. LVN 1 and Admin went to Resident 1 ' s room and could not locate the
machine. LVN 1 located BiPAP in Resident 1 ' s closet in a pink bag.

machine and putting it at Resident 1 ' s bedside. LVN 2 stated that DON and Admin left at 2 pm that day.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/25/2024 at 12 pm, Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON) stated he entered BiPAP order and diagnosis on 1/12/2024. ADON confirmed Resident 1 ' s
documented diagnosis for the BiPAP was COPD and hypercapnia which utilizes BiPAP to help rid the body
of excess carbon dioxide. ADON confirmed Resident 1 ' s BiPAP machine was delivered on 12/29/2024,
and that Resident 1 did not use the BiPAP as ordered until 1/12/2024.
During an interview on 1/25/2024 at 12:17 am, DON stated her expectations was the nursing staff should
have verified physician orders for the BiPAP during the admission process for Resident 1. DON further
stated the licensed nursing staff should have followed up when the BiPAP machine delivered and set up in
Resident 1's room. DON stated licensed nurses should complete and document all respiratory
assessments in the record when there was a change in condition.
During interview on 1/25/2024 at 1:55 pm, SSD stated Resident 1 ' s RP called her on 1/12/24, and

was brought in by ambulance on 1/16/24, with increasing fatigue and altered mental status (changes in
mood/cognitive function). Physician documented Resident 1 was found to have significant hypercapnia and
was admitted to a step down unit for acute respiratory failure, COPD exacerbation, large pleural effusion
(build up of fluid around and in lung tissue), pulmonary edema (too much fluid in lungs, and CHF
exacerbation (worsening). Resident 1 was discharged from the hospital on 1/31/24, after five days.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/7/2024 at 9:19 am, DON confirmed that in Resident 1
' s admission Assessment document dated 12/29/2023 there was no BiPAP noted. DON confirmed there

During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/14/2024 at 11:30 am, MDS RN confirmed Resident 1
' s BiPAP was not in initial care plan. MDS RN stated Resident 1 ' s hospital discharge summary should
have been scanned into EMR and given to the admissions nurse. MDS RN confirmed it could not be found
in EMR and stated she was unaware Resident 1 ' s BiPAP was ordered and delivered at bedside.
During a phone interview on 2/14/2024 at 10:13 am, MDir stated he was not responsible for how many
admissions a facility would receive, but that six admissions in one day would be unusual. MDir stated the
admissions coordinator puts everything into the EMR (which he has access to) including discharge records
from hospital, which he reads after admission is finalized. When told that AS had the order for the BiPAP
prior to admission and that it did not come in until 14 days post admission, MDir stated AS should have
relayed that to DON or ADON. MDir stated he did not know how any of that happened. Regarding Resident
1 not feeling well after not receiving ordered BiPAP for 14 days, MDir stated if she wasn ' t doing well, what
could happen, did happen. Carbon dioxide goes up, then she would eventually become lethargic, and
comatose.

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
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure enough nursing staff had the appropriate
competencies and skills to implement a respiratory plan of care for one of four sampled resident (Resident
1).
This failure resulted in a decline in Resident 1 ' s respiratory and metabolic status (a condition where the
decline of the lung function negatively affects the functioning of the rest of the body) resulting in emergent
transfer to a hospital for treatment. Refer to F695.
Findings:
A review of facility policy titled CPAP/BiPAP Support and Cleaning dated March 2015, indicated only a
qualified and properly trained nurse or respiratory therapist should administer oxygen through a
CPAP/BiPAP mask. A resident ' s medical record should be reviewed to determine his/her baseline oxygen
saturation, respiratory, circulatory status. The physician ' s order should be reviewed to determine the
oxygen concentration and flow and pressure settings for the machine.
A review of Resident 1 ' s hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE] at 1:08 pm, indicated she had been
hospitalized for 9 days for treatment of acute respiratory failure with hypercapnia (respiratory system fails
and carbon dioxide [a gas by product that is removed from the body by exhalation] builds up in the body),
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a condition of the respiratory system causing shortness of
breath, cough, fatigue and frequent lung infections), toxic metabolic encephalopathy (a condition of acute
brain dysfunction resulting in seizures, behavior changes , memory loss, confusion and altered
consciousness) and congestive heart failure. During her hospitalization she was started on bilevel positive
airway pressure (BiPAP-a breathing machine that delivers positive air pressure when you breathe in and
out). Resident 1 was transferred to a long-term care facility on 12/29/2023.
During a review of hospital order sheet faxed to the long-term care facility dated 12/29/2023 at 11:25 am,
indicated a hospital medical doctor ordered BiPAP on at bedtime and off for 6 hours during the day to keep
her oxygen level above 90-92% (normal is 95-100%).
During a record review of an admission assessment dated [DATE] at 5:42 pm, by Licensed Vocational
Nurse (LVN) 1, no documentation of Resident 1 ' s need for BiPAP was noted.
During a review of a document titled Order Summary, indicated that there was an oxygen order dated
12/29/2023, for Resident 1 to receive 3 liters via nasal cannula (a flexible tube worn under the nose
delivering oxygen) or shortness of breath, as needed.
A review of a physician order dated 1/12/24, 14 days after admission, the BiPAP was ordered with settings
40, 92, AS 14/6, BUR 10, titrate oxygen saturation at 90- 92% at bedtime for sleep apnea (breathing starts
and stops during sleep).
During concurrent interview and record review on 1/24/2024 at 11:30 am with Director of Staff Development
(DSD-person in charge of planning employee training and professional development classes), she
confirmed she could not produce any documentation of in-services/instruction to staff for BiPAP use. DSD
confirmed that physician order for BiPAP was in the Resident 1 ' s record on 12/29/2024 but

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that one of four residents (Resident 1) was free of
an unnecessary psychotropic medication (drug prescribed to affect the mind, emotions, or behavior) when
she was prescribed Lexapro (medication used to treat depression and anxiety) was administered without
clinical indication.
This failure resulted in Resident 1 to receive an unnecessary medication and put her at risk for adverse
side effects such as sedation, dry mouth, weakness, headaches, dizziness, nausea and being unable to
sleep. Refer to F552.
Findings:
A review of facility policy titled Psychotropic Medication Use, dated July 2022, indicated the use of any
psychotropic medication is based on comprehensive review of the resident. Residents who have not used
psychotropic medications are not prescribed or given these medications unless the medication is
determined to be necessary to treat a specific condition that is diagnosed and documented in the medical
record.
A review of facility policy titled Informed Consent Verification, undated, indicated the facility shall verify that
informed consent (IC) has been obtained by the physician before a psychotherapeutic medication is
administered. When a medication is going to be used in a psychotherapeutic manner the facility will need to
verify from the physician or their office staff that IC has been obtained and will need to obtain the indication
for use from the physician. The facility staff who are authorized to take such orders shall either document or
include the printed or electronic version of the IC with the resident ' s medical record.
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included heart failure, acute and
chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia ( a disease affecting the lungs ability to remove carbon dioxide
or deliver oxygen to your blood) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with acute
exacerbation and bronchitis due to respiratory syncytial virus (COPD refers to a group of diseases that
cause airflow blockage and breathing related problems complicated by a respiratory infection) and cognitive
communication deficit (difficulty communicating, thinking, remembering and responding accurately).
A review of a Discharge Summary from the local hospital dated 12/29/2024, Resident 1 was noted to be
able to give a clear history and was not taking any psychotropic medications.
A review of hospital document titled Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR-a
pre-admission screening for mental illness performed by the hospital before discharge) dated 12/20/2023,
Resident 1 had no diagnoses for mental disorders such as Depressive Disorder, Anxiety Disorder and had
not been prescribed any psychotropic medications.
A review of Progress Notes dated 12/31/2023, 12/30/2023, 12/29/2023 and 1/3/24, Resident 1 was
documented as adjusting well, no signs of distress, no changes in behavior and able to verbalize her
needs.

and coordination of medical care in the facility.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the Medical Director (MD) supervised the
development and implementation of a plan of care for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1) when:
1. Upon admission orders for BiPAP (device to help breathing) were not implemented. Refer to F 695
2.a. Informed consent was not obtained before administering a psychotropic (alters mood behavior)
medication. Refer to F 552
b. An unnecessary psychotropic was prescribed without clinical justification. Refer to F 758
This failure resulted in respiratory failure that required emergent hospitalization and an unnecessary
psychotropic medication to be administered without clinical justification.
Findings:
A review of a facility policy titled Medical Director revised July 2016, indicated physician services are under
the general supervision of the Medical Director (MD). The MD was responsible for ensuring adequate and
appropriate physician services. MD was to oversee and help develop and implement care related policies
and practices. MD to participate in efforts to improve quality of care and services. MD to help assure
residents receive services to meet their needs by assuring resident care plan reflects the medical regimen.

Residents Affected - Few
12/20/2023, Resident 1 had no diagnoses for mental disorders such as Depressive Disorder, Anxiety
Disorder and had not been prescribed any psychotropic medications.

mental illness, there was no evidence of an acute change in mental status.

1/05/2024, 1/06/2024 (at 12:03 am), 1/06/2024 (at 12:42 pm), 1/08/2024, 1/09/2024, 1/10/2024, 1/11/2024,

A review of document titled Progress Note, alert note, on 1/11/2024 at 1:30 pm, by Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON) documented Nurse Practitioner (NP) in to see Resident 1, Lexapro (antidepressant) for
depression ordered 5 milligrams (mg) daily.
A review of Resident 1's record indicated no nursing progress note by ADON nor any physician or NP notes
found in the record to indicate the clinical justification for the Lexapro.
During a phone interview on 2/14/2024 at 10:13 am, Medical Director (MDir) stated he was not responsible
for how many admissions a facility would receive, but that six admissions in one day would be unusual.
MDir stated the admissions coordinator puts everything into the Electronic Medical Record (EMR, which he
has access to) including discharge records from hospital, which he reads after admission was accepted.
When told that AS had the order for the BiPAP prior to admission and that it did not come in until 14 days
post admission, MDir stated AS should have relayed that to DON or ADON. MDir stated he did not know
how any of that happened. Regarding Resident 1 not feeling well after not receiving ordered BiPAP for 14
days, MDir stated if she wasn ' t doing well, what could happen, did happen. Carbon dioxide goes up, then
she would eventually become lethargic, and comatose. MDir stated, usually the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT,
a group of multidisciplinary team members who discuss resident plan of care) meet to discuss residents
who are on psychotropic medications. MDir stated there needs to be a clinical reason documented and
discussed before starting a psychotropic, including informed consent (discuss risks and benefits) of a
medication. When told that there was no indication in her medical record that Resident 1 was depressed,
MDir stated that may have just been bad judgement by the Nurse Practitioner.
