adult residents concerning the right to accept or
refuse medical or surgical treatment and, at the
individual's option, formulate an advance
directive. This includes a written description of
the facility's policies to implement advance
directives and applicable State law.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure the advanced directives
of 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident 1) were
honored when Resident 1 experienced a
change of condition that prevented him from
swallowing food or fluids. This failure deprived
Resident 1 and his family of the right to receive
the intensity of medical care they had
requested in his advance directives and
contributed to his death after approximately 72
hours without significant food and fluid intake.
Findings:
The admission record for Resident 1 indicated
he had been a resident of the facility for many
years. His diagnosis included paralysis (a lack
of control over one's motor function) and
dementia (a loss of cognitive function). The
section titled, "Advanced Directives" indicated
Resident 1 wanted a trial period of tube feeding
of food or fluids and other, "limited additional
interventions."
The clinical record for Resident 1 included the
following information:

Responsible Party (RP) had marked the boxes
that indicated Resident 1 wanted intravenous
fluids (IV) and tube feedings in the event they
were needed. Medical Doctor 1's (MD 1)
signature on the form was dated 1/30/13.
A 1/19/14 care plan identifying the potential for
dehydration indicated Resident 1 was at risk of
dehydration due to his increased dementia and
pureed diet. The care plan directed staff to
"Honor...[advanced directives]". The care plan
had not been updated with any resident
specific interventions since its creation in 2014.
A 10/20/15 Minimum Data Set (MDS, an
assessment tool) indicated Resident 1 was
able to feed himself at that time. The MDS also
indicated Resident 1 was rarely or never able
to make himself understood.
A 10/21/15 Registered Dietician (RD) note
indicated Resident 1 had an average oral food
intake of 99% during the week of her
assessment, and his weight was stable. He
consumed a pureed diet.
A 12/22/15 nursing note, written by the Unit
Manager (UM) at 8:18 a.m., indicated Resident
1 was observed to let food drop out of his
mouth. The UM notified MD 1 and the RP.
There were no further nursing notes until the
morning of 12/24/15.
On 12/22/15 the UM faxed a communication to
MD 1 requesting an order for a speech therapy
evaluation. MD 1 responded on 12/23/15. MD
1 ordered a speech therapy evaluation and
also ordered the staff to continue monitoring
Resident 1.

On 12/22/15 the UM updated the plan of care
to address Resident 1's inability to swallow.
The goal was to prevent Resident 1 from
choking on his food. There was no
documented evidence Resident 1's care plans
were updated to address the dehydration that
would result from the inability to consume food
or fluid.
On 12/23/15 at 11:00 a.m., the Speech
Therapist (ST) notified MD 1 on a
communication form that Resident 1 had a
severe inability to swallow. The form was left
for the MD to review when he came to the
facility that same day. The ST noted Resident 1
had a very limited intake of nutrition and the
resident's POLST included the provision of
alternative feeding methods. The note
indicated this issue, "probably needed to be
addressed by the family." The ST requested 3
additional therapy visits. On 12/23/15, MD 1
signed and dated the ST note and ordered
additional therapy visits. There was no
documented evidence MD 1 spoke with
Resident 1's family about the need to consider
implementing the POLST orders of providing
tube feeding of food or fluids.
A report of Resident 1's oral consumption for
the month of December indicated his food and
fluids were provided to him in a pureed and/or
thickened state and were tallied as a
percentage total with no differentiation of solid
food from fluids. The report indicated Resident
1 had refused his evening meal on 12/21/15,
and all meals on 12/22/15. He had eaten only
10% of the combined food/fluid provided at
lunch on 12/23/15, with no documented
evidence of other intake for that day. On
12/24/15 the documentation indicated he ate
10% of his breakfast and only 5% of his lunch.
He expired before dinner on 12/24/15,

approximately 72 hours after the last
substantial meal he ate, the lunch on 12/21/15.
A 12/24/15 nursing note written at 7:06 a.m.
indicated nursing staff continued to monitor
Resident 1 for difficulty swallowing.
Furthermore, the nursing note indicated the
speech therapy evaluation had been completed
and the nursing staff awaited new treatment
results.
A 12/24/15 nursing note, written at 3:11 p.m.,
indicated Resident 1 had been assessed at 12
p.m. that day, and he had experienced a
reduced oral intake.
A 12/24/15 nursing note, written at 3:40 p.m.,
noted Resident 1 had been found dead at 2:55
p.m. The note indicated RP 1 was notified of
the death.
The facility's 10/06/09 policy titled "Physician
Orders for Life-Sustain Treatment (POLST)
noted "POLST orders will be honored by the
staff....Resident's face sheet in the electronic
health record will by updated to reflect the
POLST form." There was no documented
evidence the nursing staff implemented this
policy.
In an interview with UM on 1/6/16 at 11:30
a.m., she reported staff brought Resident 1's
swallowing difficulties to her attention the
morning of 12/22/15 and she had verified the
resident was unable to swallow his food. She
stated she notified MD 1 of the need for a
swallow evaluation. She included Resident 1
on, "Event Charting" for difficulty swallowing.
She explained with, "Event Charting" nursing
staff were expected to assess and chart each
shift for issues related to the resident's difficulty
swallowing. The UM confirmed there were no
event charting notes for the evening of

12/22/15. The UM confirmed there was no
documented evidence of any nursing notes for
12/23/15. The UM reported she worked on
12/22/15 and 12/23/15. The UM reported the
licensed nurses were responsible for entering
the meal and fluid consumption information in
Resident 1's chart. The UM also stated a
decline in oral intake of food and fluid would
require a review of a resident's advanced
directives. The UM reported the ST had told
her Resident 1 did not do well when his
swallowing ability was evaluated. When asked
how she addressed the potential dehydration
that would result from a reduced intake of a
pureed diet, she reported she only assessed
his ability to swallow food, not fluid.
In an interview with Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) on
1/6/16 at 11:50 a.m., he reported Resident 1
would sit up in his wheelchair to eat breakfast
in the common area and stay up in his
wheelchair until after he ate lunch. On
12/24/15 during the morning shift, Resident 1
appeared weak and the staff put him back to
bed. LN 1 reported he was aware that Resident
1 was not eating or drinking. When asked, he
reported he had learned in nursing school a
person could only live about 72 hours without
fluids. He reported he was unaware of how
long Resident 1 had been unable to eat or
drink. He reported he had not reported any
changes to the RP or MD, because he was
waiting for the ST to give him further directions.
In an interview with LN 2 on 1/6/16 at 12:20
p.m., LN 2 verified she worked on the morning
of 12/22/15 and 12/23/15, and she did not
make any notes in Resident 1's chart, despite
the initiation of event charting. She stated she
was aware the ST was assessing Resident 1,

ST before she proceeded. She reported she

to the UM on either day because the UM was
the one who told her Resident 1 could not
swallow.
In an interview with the ST on 1/6/16 at 12:27
p.m., the ST reported she completed an
evaluation of Resident 1's ability to swallow on
12/23/15. Resident 1 was unable to consume
food or fluids. She reported she made note of
the need for a discussion about the advanced
directives, but it was the responsibility of the
nursing staff to ensure the advanced directives
were followed.
In an interview with MD 1 on 1/6/16 at 2:15
p.m., he reported he was unfamiliar with the
details about Resident 1's case and provided
information on a hypothetical basis. He
reported that in a hypothetical situation he
would have expected the nursing staff to
request IV hydration at the point the ST verified
a resident was unable to swallow.
In an interview with LN 3 on 1/6/16 at 2:40
p.m., LN 3 reported she was not told Resident
1 could not swallow, she was told he refused
his food. She reported she had observed him
at dinner on 12/22/15 and he spit his food out.
She reported Event Charting required the staff
to monitor and chart on Resident 1 each shift.
She confirmed she did not check to see if there
was any vitals information, (blood pressure,
temperature, respiration, and temperature) to
review as part of the monitoring. LN 3 stated
she did not chart on the 12/22/15 or 12/23/15
evening shifts. She reported she had learned
from the UM that Resident 1's intake was poor,
so she did not report to anyone his intake
continued to be poor on her shifts. LN 3
reported she reviewed Resident 1's POLST
form only to see if she needed to perform

reported she had learned in nursing school that
a person would live about 72 hours without

In a second interview with LN 3 on 1/11/16 at
2:05 p.m., she reported the signs of
dehydration included poor skin elasticity, and
Resident 1's skin was always bad; the
condition of the mucous membranes, and
Resident 1's were not dry and cracking, but
were not as moist as usual; and urine output
would be reduced, and a darker color. She
reported she had not asked the Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA) staff about the
condition of Resident 1's urine. She reported
she did not document he refused his
medications because she could not tell how
much of the medication mixed in applesauce
Resident 1 spit out.
In an interview with the Director of Nurses
(DON) on 1/11/16 at 2:30 p.m., she reviewed
Resident 1's clinical record and reported there
was no documented evidence the licensed staff
considered providing IV hydration in light of
Resident 1's inability to take in food or fluids.
In an interview with the RD on 1/11/16 at 2:40

stable over the years and she had estimated he
required 1500 milliliters of fluid a day. She

how they would meet his nutritional and fluid
needs. She stated she had not been notified of
Resident 1's sudden inability to swallow until
after his death.
In an interview with the RP on 1/19/16 at 10:30
a.m., she reported the nursing staff contacted
her on the morning on 12/22/15 and reported
Resident 1's inability to swallow. She had been
told a ST would evaluate him the next day. On
12/23/15, she went to the facility at the request
of the social service staff to sign papers that
authorized a podiatrist to cut Resident 1's toe
nails. While she was there, she observed
Resident 1 looked particularly thin and hollow.
She suspected he had not been eating prior to
when the staff had notified her of his inability to
swallow. While she signed the podiatry
authorization, the social service person
reported the ST completed the evaluation and
would provide therapy. The RP reported
nobody explained that Resident 1's inability to
swallow meant he would not get enough fluids.
Nobody explained to her that there was a
limited time frame a person could live without
hydration, nobody approached her to discuss
the use of IV hydration, as requested in the
POLST. The RP reported Resident 1 died on
Christmas Eve and it felt horrible to not have
anyone be there with him. She reported she
would not have wanted the IV hydration
forever, but she would have liked to have been
able to delay her father's passing until the
family could gather, and to do what they could
to keep him alive through Christmas.
In an interview with the DON on 2/2/16 at 2:30

experienced a change of condition the nursing
staff were responsible for reviewing the POLST
with the physician. She reported there was no
documented evidence the nursing staff brought

conditions or clinical complications); a need to
alter treatment significantly (i.e., a need to
discontinue an existing form of treatment due to
adverse consequences, or to commence a new
form of treatment); or a decision to transfer or
discharge the resident from the facility as
specified in §483.12(a).
The facility must also promptly notify the
resident and, if known, the resident's legal
representative or interested family member
when there is a change in room or roommate
assignment as specified in §483.15(e)(2); or a
change in resident rights under Federal or
State law or regulations as specified in
paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
The facility must record and periodically update
the address and phone number of the
resident's legal representative or interested
family member.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to notify the Responsible Party
(RP) for 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident 1)
of the need to significantly alter the treatment
plan to meet Resident 1's hydration needs
when Resident 1 could no longer swallow food
or fluids safely. This failure deprived Resident
1's RP the right to be included in critical end of
life care decisions.
Findings:
The admission record for Resident 1 indicated
he was a resident of the facility for many years.

Resident 1's diagnoses included paralysis (a
lack of control over one's motor function) and
dementia.
The clinical record for Resident 1 included the
following information:
A 1/28/13 POLST form (Physician Orders for
Life-Sustaining Treatment) indicated Resident
1's RP marked the boxes indicating intravenous
fluids (IV) and tube feeding were desired in the
event they were needed. Medical Doctor 1's
(MD 1's) signature on the form was dated
1/30/13.
On 1/19/14 Resident 1's clinical record was
updated with a plan of care to address the
resident's potential dehydration as a result of a
pureed diet and advanced dementia. The care
plan directed staff to "Honor...[advanced
directives]" and had not been updated with any
resident specific interventions since its creation
in 2014.
A 10/21/15 Registered Dietician (RD) note
indicated Resident 1's average oral intake was
99% during the week of her assessment, and
his weight was stable. Resident 1 consumed a
pureed diet.
A 12/22/15 nursing note, written by the Unit
Manager (UM) at 8:18 a.m., indicated Resident
1 was observed to let food drop out of his
mouth. The UM notified MD 1 and the RP of
Resident 1's difficulty swallowing food. There
were no further nursing notes until the morning
of 12/24/15.
On 12/22/15 the UM faxed a communication to
MD 1 requesting an order for a speech therapy
evaluation. MD 1 responded on 12/23/15. MD
1 ordered a speech therapy evaluation and to
continue monitoring Resident 1.

On 12/22/15 the UM updated the plan of care
to address Resident 1's inability to swallow.
The goal was to prevent Resident 1 from
choking on his food. There was no
documented evidence the care plans were
updated to address the dehydration that would
result from the inability to consume food or
fluid.
On 12/23/15 at 11:00 a.m., the Speech
Therapist (ST) notified MD 1 on a
communication form that Resident 1 had a
severe inability to swallow. The form was left
at the facility for the MD to review when he
came to the facility. The ST noted Resident 1
had a very limited intake of nutrition and the
resident's POLST included the provision of
alternative feeding methods. The note
indicated this issue "probably needed to be
addressed by the family." The ST requested 3
additional therapy visits. On 12/23/15, MD 1
reviewed the ST note and ordered additional
therapy visits. There was no documented
evidence MD 1 addressed the need for
alternative feeding methods with Resident 1's
RP as suggested by the ST.
In an interview with MD 1 on 1/6/16 at 2:15
p.m., he reported he was unfamiliar with the
details about Resident 1's case and provided
information on a hypothetical basis. He
reported that in a hypothetical situation he
would have expected the nursing staff to
request IV hydration at the point the ST verified
a resident was unable to swallow.
A report of Resident 1's oral consumption for
the month of December indicated his food and
fluids were provided to him in a pureed and/or
thickened state and were tallied as a
percentage total with no differentiation of the
solid food from the fluids. The report indicated

Resident 1 had refused his evening meal on
12/21/15, and all meals on 12/22/15. He had
eaten only 10% of the combined food/fluid
provided for lunch on 12/23/15 with no other
documented intake for that day. On 12/24/15
the documentation indicated he ate 10% of his
breakfast and only 5% of his lunch. He expired
on 12/24/15, approximately 72 hours after the
last documented substantial meal (consumed
at lunch on 12/21/15.)
A 12/24/15 nursing note written at 7:06 a.m.
indicated nursing staff continued to monitor
Resident 1 for difficulty swallowing. The speech
therapy evaluation had been completed and
the nursing staff awaited new treatment results.
There was no documented evidence that RP 1
was notified of Resident 1's continued inability
to swallow food or fluids.
A 12/24/15 nursing note, written at 3:11 p.m.,
indicated Resident 1 had been assessed at 12
p.m. that day, and he was experiencing a
decline in his oral intake. There was no
documented evidence that RP 1 was notified of
Resident 1's continued inability to swallow food
or fluids.
A 12/24/15 nursing note, written at 3:40 p.m.,
noted Resident was found dead at 2:55 p.m.
The note indicated RP 1 was notified of the
death.
The facility's 1/15/10 policy titled, "Changes in
a Resident's Condition" indicated, "The Charge
Nurse will be responsible for making all
notifications of changes to physicians, the
resident, and the resident representative."
The facility schedule indicated Licensed Nurse
2 (LN 2) was the charge nurse on the 12/22/15
and 12/23/15 day shifts. LN 1 was the charge
nurse on the 12/24/15 day shift.

In an interview with UM on 1/6/16 at 11:30
a.m., she reported staff brought Resident 1's
swallowing difficulties to her attention on the
morning of 12/22/15 and she verified the
resident was unable to swallow food at that
time. She stated she notified MD 1 of the need
for a swallow evaluation. She included
Resident 1 on ,"Event Charting" for difficulty
swallowing. She explained with, "Event
Charting" nursing staff were expected to
assess and chart each shift for issues related
to the resident's difficulty swallowing. The UM
reported she had worked on 12/22/15 and
12/23/15. She also stated a decline in oral
intake of food and fluid would require a review
of a resident's advanced directives. She
reported the ST had told her Resident 1 did not
do well when he was evaluated for his
swallowing ability. When asked how she
addressed the potential dehydration that would
result from a reduced intake of a pureed diet,
she reported she had only assessed his ability
to swallow food, not fluid.
In an interview with LN 1 on 1/6/16 at 11:50
a.m., he reported Resident 1 would sit up in his
wheelchair to eat breakfast in the common area
and stay up in his wheelchair until after he ate
lunch. On 12/24/15 during the morning shift,
Resident 1 appeared weak and the staff put
him back to bed. LN 1 reported he was aware
that Resident 1 was not eating or drinking.
When asked, he reported he had learned in
nursing school a person could only live about
72 hours without fluids. He reported he was
unaware of how long Resident 1 had been
unable to eat or drink. He reported he had not
reported any changes, such as increased
weakness, to the RP or MD, because he was
waiting for the ST to give him further directions.

In an interview with LN 2 on 1/6/16 at 12:20
p.m., she verified she worked on the morning of
12/22/15 and 12/23/15, and she did not make
any notes in Resident 1's chart, despite the
initiation of event charting on 12/22/15. She
stated she was aware the ST was assessing
Resident 1, and she was waiting for
instructions from the ST before she proceeded.
She reported she did not review Resident 1's
advanced directives. LN 2 also stated she did
not report Resident 1's condition to the UM on
either day because the UM was the one who
had told her Resident 1 could not swallow.
In an interview with the ST on 1/6/16 at 12:27
p.m. she reported she completed an evaluation
of Resident 1's ability to swallow on 12/23/15.
Resident 1 was unable to consume food or
fluids. She reported she had made note of the
need for a discussion about the advanced
directives with the family, but it was the
responsibility of the nursing staff to ensure the
advanced directives were followed.
In an interview with the RP on 1/19/16 at 10:30

her on the morning on 12/22/15 to report

request of the social service staff to sign
papers authorizing a podiatrist to cut Resident
1's toe nails. While she was there she
observed Resident 1 looked particularly "thin

eating prior to when the staff had notified her of
his inability to swallow. The RP reported that at
the time she signed the podiatry authorization,
the social service person told her the ST had
completed the evaluation and would provide
therapy. The RP stated she had not been

explained to her that Resident 1's inability to
swallow meant he would not be getting enough
fluids. Furthermore nobody had explained to
her that there was a limited time frame a
person could live without fluids, and nobody
approached her to discuss the use of IV
hydration, as indicated in the advanced
directives. The RP reported her father died on
Christmas Eve and it felt horrible to not have
anyone be there with him. She reported she
would not have wanted the IV hydration
forever, but she would have liked to have been
able to delay her father's passing until the
family could gather, and to do what they could
to keep him alive through Christmas.
In an interview with the DON on 2/2/16 at 2:30
p.m., she reported the documentation in
Resident 1's clinical record indicated a nurse
had contacted the family to report Resident 1's
swallowing difficulties, and she confirmed there
was no documented evidence the RP had been

eat or drink at the time the ST conducted her
evaluation.

Based on staff interview, family interview, and
clinical record review, the facility failed to

was provided with the Registered Dietician's
assessment of a daily need of 2320 milliliters of
fluid a day to meet the resident's needs when
he demonstrated he was no longer able to
swallow. Resident 1 died on Christmas Eve,
approximately 72 hours after his last known
significant fluid consumption.
Findings:
The admission record for Resident 1 indicated
he had been a resident of the facility for many
years. His diagnosis included high blood
pressure, paralysis (a lack of control over one's
motor function) and dementia.
The clinical record for Resident 1 included the

A 1/19/14 plan of care addressed Resident 1's
potential for dehydration as a result of a pureed
diet and advanced dementia. The care plan
directed staff to, "Honor...[advanced
directives]". The plan of care had not been
updated with any resident specific interventions
since its creation in 2014.
A 8/29/14 physician order directed nursing staff
to administer 12.5 milligrams of
hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic medication that
helps remove excess fluid as a treatment for
high blood pressure), once a day.
A 10/20/15 Minimum Data Set (MDS, an
assessment tool) indicated Resident 1 was
able to feed himself at that time. The MDS also
indicated Resident 1 was rarely or never able
to make himself understood.
A 10/21/15 RD note indicated Resident 1's
average oral intake was 99% during the week
of her assessment, and his weight fluctuated
but remained stable between 145 and 150
pounds. He consumed a pureed diet.
On 12/02/15 Resident 1's weight was recorded
as 150 pounds. There was no additional
subsequent weight information provided.
The Vital Report in Resident 1's clinical record
for the month of December 2015 included the
following blood pressure readings:

faxing, that Resident 1 had a severe inability to
swallow. The form was not faxed, but left for
the MD to review at the facility. The ST noted
Resident 1 had a very limited intake of nutrition
and the resident's POLST form included
provision of alternative feeding methods. The
form indicated this issue, "probably needed to
be addressed by the family." The ST requested
3 additional speech therapy visits. On
12/23/15, MD 1 reviewed the ST note and
ordered additional therapy visits.
There was no documented evidence MD 1
followed through with the ST's recommendation
to communicate to the RP the need to

implement the need for tube feeding of food
and fluid as delineated in the POLST form MD
1 signed on 1/28/13.
A report of Resident 1's oral consumption for
the month of December indicated his food and
fluids were provided to him in a pureed and/or
thickened state and were tallied as a
percentage total with no differentiation of the
solid food from the fluids. The report indicated
Resident 1 had been eating most of his meals
between 12/1/15 and 12/16/15. Resident 1
had refused his evening meal on 12/21/15, and
all meals on 12/22/15. He had eaten only 10%
of the food/fluid combined lunch provided on
12/23/15 with no other documented intake for
that day. On 12/24/15 the documentation
indicated he ate 10% of his breakfast and only
5% of his lunch. Resident 1 expired before
dinner on 12/24/15, approximately 72 hours
after the lunch he consumed on 12/21/15.
The Vital Report in Resident 1's clinical record
for the month of December 2015 included the
following additional blood pressure readings:
On 12/21/15 at 3:31 p.m., 135/71
On 12/23/15 at 4:58 p.m., 129/70.
On 12/24/15 at 12:36 a.m., 103/78.
On 12/24/15 at 7:06 a.m., 101/55.
These blood pressure readings demonstrated
Resident 1's blood pressure was dropping, a
possible indicator of dehydration.
The 12/23/15 Medication Administration
Record for Resident 1 indicated he had refused
all of his medications, including the medications
used to manage high blood pressure that day.
A 12/24/15 nursing note written at 7:06 a.m.,
indicated nursing staff continued to monitor
Resident 1 for difficulty swallowing. The note
further documented the speech therapy
evaluation had been completed and the nursing

staff was, "awaiting new treatment results".
There was no documented evidence the nurse
identified or responded to Resident 1's drop in
blood pressure, despite Resident 1's refusal to
take his blood pressure medications.
A 12/24/15 nursing note, written at 3:11 p.m.,
indicated Resident 1 had been assessed at 12
p.m. that day, and he was experiencing a
decline in his oral intake. There was no
indication the nurse identified Resident 1's drop
in blood pressure.
A 12/24/15 nursing note, written at 3:40 p.m.,
noted Resident had been found dead at 2:55
p.m.. The note indicated RP 1 had been
notified of the death.
On 1/11/16 the Director of Nursing provided 2
pages from an unidentified nursing manual that
represented the facility's procedure for
monitoring for potential dehydration. The
protocol identified dry mucous membranes,
lower blood pressure, increased pulse, and
unchanged or increased respirations as signs
of dehydration. The protocol also identified
relevant lab data, weight changes, and a
decrease of urine output as other indicators of
dehydration.
In an interview with UM on 1/6/16 at 11:30
a.m., she reported Resident 1's swallowing
difficulty was brought to her attention on the
morning of 12/22/15 and she verified at that
time the resident was unable to swallow. She
stated she notified MD 1 of the need for a
swallow evaluation. She included Resident 1
on, "Event Charting" for difficulty swallowing.
She explained with, "event charting" the
nursing staff were expected to assess and
chart each shift for issues relating to the
resident's difficulty swallowing. The UM
confirmed there was no documented evidence

of event charting notes for the evening of
12/22/15 or any nursing notes for 12/23/15.
The UM reported she worked on 12/22/15 and
12/23/15. She reported the licensed nurses
were responsible for entering the meal and fluid
consumption information in Resident 1's chart.
The UM also stated a decline in oral intake of
food and fluid would require a review of a
resident's advanced directives. She reported
the ST had told her Resident 1 did not do well
when his swallowing ability was evaluated.
When asked how she addressed the potential
dehydration that would result from a reduced
intake of a pureed diet, she reported she had
only assessed his ability to swallow food, not
fluid.
In an interview with Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) on
1/6/16 at 11:50 a.m., he reported Resident 1
would sit up in his wheelchair to eat breakfast
in the common area and stay up in his
wheelchair until after he ate lunch. On
12/24/15 during the morning shift, Resident 1
appeared weak and the staff put him back to
bed. LN 1 reported he was aware that Resident
1 was not eating or drinking, and his blood
pressure was low. When asked, he reported
he had learned in nursing school a person
could only live about 72 hours without fluids.
He reported he was unaware of how long
Resident 1 had been unable to eat or drink. He
reported he had not reported any changes,
such as Resident 1's weakness to the
supervisor or an MD, because he was waiting
for the ST to give him further directions.
In an interview with LN 2 on 1/6/16 at 12:20
p.m. she verified she worked on the morning of
12/22/15 and 12/23/15, and she did not make
any notes in Resident 1's chart, despite the
initiation of event charting. She stated she was
aware the ST was assessing Resident 1, and
she was waiting for instructions from the ST

before she proceeded. She reported she did
not review Resident 1's advanced directives.
She stated she did not report Resident 1's
condition to the UM on either day because the
UM was the one who had told her Resident 1
could not swallow.
In an interview with the ST on 1/6/16 at 12:27
p.m., she reported she completed an
evaluation of Resident 1's ability to swallow on
12/23/15. Resident 1 was unable to consume
food or fluids. The ST reported she made note
of the need for a discussion about the
advanced directives, but it was the
responsibility of the nursing staff to ensure the
advanced directives were followed.
In an interview with MD 1 on 1/6/16 at 2:15
p.m., he reported he was unfamiliar with the
details about Resident 1's case and provided
information on a hypothetical basis. He
reported that in a hypothetical situation he
would have expected the nursing staff to
request IV hydration once the ST had verified a
resident was unable to swallow.
In an interview with LN 3 on 1/6/16 at 2:40
p.m., she reported she was not told Resident 1
could not swallow, she was told he refused his
food. She reported she had observed him at
dinner on 12/22/15 and he spit his food out.
She reported, "event charting" required the
staff to monitor and chart on Resident 1 each
shift. She confirmed she did not check to see if
there was any vitals information, (blood
pressure, temperature, respiration, and
temperature) to review as part of the
monitoring. She stated she did not chart on the
12/22/15 or 12/23/15 evening shifts. She
reported she had learned from the UM that
Resident's 1 intake was poor, so she did not
report to anyone his intake continued to be
poor on her shifts. LN 3 reported she reviewed

needed to perform emergency resuscitation or
send him to the hospital. She observed the
boxes indicating a desire for resuscitation
and/or hospitalization were left blank. She
stated she did not review the POLST form for
the interventions Resident 1's RP requested,
the IV fluids and tube feeding on a trial basis.
When asked, she reported she had learned in
nursing school that a person would live about
72 hours without fluids.
In a second interview with LN 2 on 1/11/16 at
12:30 p.m., she reported Resident 1 was
normally very good at taking his medications
and was unable to take his blood pressure
medications on the day shifts of 12/22/15 and
12/23/15. LN 2 was asked how she would
assess a resident for dehydration. She
reported she would review his blood pressure,
temperature, pulse rate and respiratory rate.
When presented with Resident 1's vitals record
she confirmed there was no data for her to
review and she had not asked a Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA) to obtain it. She
reported she would check a resident's mucous
membranes. She confirmed she had not
looked at Resident 1's mucous membranes.
She reported she would wait for the CNA staff
to tell her if there was decreased urination.
She had not received any reports from the CNA
staff of low urine output, and she did not ask
them about Resident 1's urine output. LN 2

he was not aware Resident 1 had been unable

12/23/15. He reported he was not aware that
his shift on 12/24/15 was the third day Resident
1 was unable to take his medications.
In an interview with the Director of Nurses on
1/11/16 at 2:30 p.m., she reviewed Resident
1's clinical record and reported there was no
documented evidence the licensed staff
considered providing IV hydration in light of
Resident 1's inability to take in food or fluids.
In an interview with the RD on 1/11/16 at 2:40
p.m., she reported Resident 1 had been very
stable over the years and she estimated he
required 1500 milliliters (a fluid measurement)
of fluid a day. She reported it was her
expectation that once the ST had completed
her evaluation and determined Resident 1
could not swallow, the licensed nurses would
have contacted her for a dietary assessment
STAT (immediately) to address how they would
meet his nutritional and fluid needs. She
stated she was not notified of Resident 1's
sudden inability to swallow until after his death.
In an interview with the RP on 1/19/16 at 10:30

contacted her on the morning on 12/22/15 and
reported Resident 1's inability to swallow. She
was told an ST would evaluate him the next
day. On 12/23/15, she had gone to the facility
at the request of the social service staff to sign
papers authorizing a podiatrist to cut Resident
1's toe nails. While she was at the facility she

Resident 1's inability to swallow meant he
would not be getting enough fluids. Nobody

a person could live without hydration, and
nobody approached her to discuss the use of
IV hydration, as per the POLST form. The RP

it felt horrible to not have anyone be there with
him. She reported she would not have wanted
