8 consecutive hours a day, 7 days a week
when there was no RN on duty over a weekend
to assess residents when a respiratory
outbreak occurred, for a census of 37. This
failure had the potential to contribute to the
potential risk of residents not reaching or
maintaining their highest practicable well-being.
Findings:
Review of the "Nursing Staffing Assignment
and Sign-In Sheet," dated Saturday 11/26/16,
indicated all licensed nurses on the schedule
for 3 shifts were listed as "RN/[Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN)]," without any
distinction, for each name.
Review of the "Nursing Staffing Assignment
and Sign-In Sheet," dated Sunday 11/27/16,
indicated all nurses on the schedule for 3 shifts
were listed as "RN/LVN."
During an interview with the Director of Staff
Development (DSD) on 12/8/16 at 2:45 p.m.,
the DSD reviewed the Saturday 11/27/16 and
Sunday 11/28/16 schedules of staff that worked
and stated, "All the nurses are LVN's, no RN is
on schedule."
During an interview with RN 2 on 12/8/16 at
3:15 p.m., RN 2 stated there was not a RN
scheduled to work the weekends in the facility.
In an interview with the Director of Nurses
(DON) on 12/8/16 at 3:40 p.m., she stated, "We
don't have RN's [working here] on the
weekend." When asked who had been in
charge of the building on the weekend, the
DON responded, "Every nurse on the floor."
In a concurrent interview with the Administrator
on 12/8/16 at 3:40 p.m., he stated the facility
had not had an RN on the schedule for "a long

reporting, investigating, and controlling
infections and communicable diseases for all
residents, staff, volunteers, visitors, and other
individuals providing services under a
contractual arrangement based upon the facility
assessment conducted according to §483.70(e)
and following accepted national standards
(facility assessment implementation is Phase

(2) Written standards, policies, and procedures
for the program, which must include, but are
not limited to:
(i) A system of surveillance designed to identify
possible communicable diseases or infections
before they can spread to other persons in the
facility;
(ii) When and to whom possible incidents of
communicable disease or infections should be
reported;
(iii) Standard and transmission-based
precautions to be followed to prevent spread of

(iv) When and how isolation should be used for
a resident; including but not limited to:
(A) The type and duration of the isolation,
depending upon the infectious agent or
organism involved, and
(B) A requirement that the isolation should be
the least restrictive possible for the resident
under the circumstances.
(v) The circumstances under which the facility
must prohibit employees with a communicable
disease or infected skin lesions from direct
contact with residents or their food, if direct
contact will transmit the disease; and
(vi) The hand hygiene procedures to be
followed by staff involved in direct resident
contact.
(4) A system for recording incidents identified

program, as necessary.

Based on observations, interviews, and facility
document review, the facility failed to effectively
implement its infection control policy for 37 of
37 residents when:
1. An outbreak of respiratory infections was not
recognized when four residents had developed
a cough in the facility, and notification to the
Department was not made until 9 residents

exhibited a cough;
2. The facility failed to implement any
meaningful measures to prevent the spread of
a respiratory illness which affected 2
employees and 16 residents, or 43% of the
residents in the facility.
As a result of these failures 16 residents
developed symptoms of respiratory infection, 4
were hospitalized (Resident 3, Resident 5,
Resident 12, and Resident 13), and 3 died after
developing respiratory symptoms.
Findings:
A. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in
2014 with diagnoses which included failure to
thrive and chronic pain.
Review of the clinical record for Resident 1
revealed:
a. An 11/18/16 physician's order for a chest xray.
b. An 11/18/16 physician's order for oxygen
(O2) at 2 liters (a low O2 flow rate) per minute
to keep her O2 saturation (O2 sat) above 90%.
The order also included obtaining a, "Nasal
swab for influenza A and B (flu)."
Review of the Lippincott Manual of Nursing
Practice, 9th Edition, on page 213, described,
"Oxygen saturation, as measured by a pulse
oximeter, is a non-invasive estimate of oxygen
level in the blood." The normal range is 95100%, 90% or lower is considered to be a low
oxygen level.
c. An 11/18/16 chest x-ray report concluded,
"Right basilar (base of lung) airspace disease
commonly relates to pneumonia..."
d. A laboratory report, dated 11/20/16, directed,
"Improper collection. Received E Swab, please
use flu kit."

e. A laboratory report for the resubmitted
specimen, dated 11/30/16, concluded tests for
influenza A and B were both negative.
During an observation on 11/28/16 at 2:12
p.m., Resident 1 was in her bed wearing
oxygen tubing. She appeared to be asleep.
B. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in
early 2016 with diagnoses which included
diabetes.
Review of the clinical record for Resident 2
included:
a. An 11/21/16 note faxed to the physician
which communicated, "Noted sore throat, no
cough, slight runny nose...daughter keep
saying 'my mother is sick call doctor,' please
advise." The physician wrote the following on
the return fax, "Claritin 5 [milligrams (mg)]...[for]
10 days, Nasal swab for [influenza (flu virus)] A
and B." Claritin is an over-the-counter allergy
medication.
b. A nurses note, dated 11/26/16 at 3 p.m.,
indicated, "Seen by MD [Medical Doctor] today.
New order start [antibiotic]."
c. A nurses note, dated 11/27/16, described the

disorders.

start oxygen at 2 liters per minute to keep the
O2 sat over 90%.
d. A report of a chest x-ray performed
11/26/16, indicated, "Results: There is
increased density (usually due to fluid in the
lung) at the right lung base."
e. A complete blood count (CBC) done
11/26/16, revealed the white blood cell (WBC)
count was 25.5, normal range was defined on
the report as 4-10. Elevated WBC's indicated
infection or inflammation.
f. A Resident Transfer Form, dated 11/27/16,
indicated the resident had "O2 sat 83% on 4
liters [oxygen], lethargic (sluggish), labored
breathing."
General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) clinical
records for Resident 3 included:
a. A chest x-ray, dated 11/27/16 at 7:50 a.m.,
indicated, "Findings...Thick linear band right
lung base consistent with atelectasis [a partial
collapse of the lung]."
b. A Physician Consultation report, dated
11/27/16, indicated she was seen in the
emergency department (ED) for "Acute
respiratory failure." (Acute respiratory failure
occurs when fluid builds up in the air sacs in
the lungs. When that happens, the lungs can't
release oxygen into the blood. In turn, the
organs can't get enough oxygen-rich blood to
function.) The History of Present Illness
included, "Normally, she is fully alert and
oriented walking around...currently totally ill, so
she cannot really give any kind of history." The
physician wrote, "I am concerned she may not
survive hospitalization. We will focus on
comfort measures alone." The GACH record
indicated Resident 3 expired on 11/27/16 at
10:10 p.m., 14.5 hours after leaving the nursing

chest x-ray was, "Minimal opacity (lack of
transparency) at the right lung base." (Lung
opacity is an indication of lung disease
including pneumonia.) The WBC level was
"18.4," significantly elevated.
