Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interviews, hospital record review, facility documentation and policy review, the facility failed
to protect the resident's right to be free from neglect for one Resident (#1) of three residents reviewed for
change in condition.
On [DATE] during a 12 hour shift when Resident #1 exhibited shortness of breath and not feeling well, was
unable to perform her normal daily activities, unusual behaviors and was begging to go to the hospital the
nurses on duty neglected to respond with in a way that could have helped the resident. There were no PRN
(as needed) medications provided to the resident except pain medication, no documented assessments or
vital signs (VS), no call to the resident's provider, and no call to the resident's family. One hour into the
following shift the resident was found unresponsive by an aide and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)
started. EMS (Emergency Medical Services) transported the resident to a hospital where she was admitted
to intensive care and died 2 days later.
This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition, serious injury and or death to
Resident #1 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE]. The findings of Immediate
Jeopardy were determined to be removed on [DATE] and the severity and scope was reduced to a D.
Findings included:
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:20 a.m. with Staff A, Personal Care Attendant. (Personal Care
Attendant or PCA means a person who meets the training requirement in this rule and Section
400.141(1)(w), F.S., and provides care to and assists residents with tasks related to the activities of daily
living. According to Florida Administrative Code 59A-4.1081 Personal Care Attendant Training Program
Requirements). Staff A, PCA said the day Resident #1 went to the hospital, [DATE], she looked really
bloated and hadn't been able to go to the bathroom. Staff A, PCA said the resident was really out of it. He
said Resident #1 didn't go out of her room, didn't eat all day and she took her clothes on and off. He said he
had never seen the resident act that way before. He said Resident #1 said she wasn't feeling good and was
begging to go to the hospital. Staff A, PCA said he told Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) what the
resident said and Staff B, LPN told him [Resident #1] tends to exaggerate. Staff A, PCA said when the LPN
made that comment he reminded her the resident wanted to go to the hospital. He said another time he
went to Staff B, LPN and told her the resident was bloated and not feeling good, Staff B, LPN said she
would give Resident #1 a suppository. He said he went to Staff B, LPN three to four times during his shift
and told her the resident wasn't feeling good and wanted to go to the hospital.

Review of a Progress Note written by an APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) dated [DATE]
revealed the following: History of Present Illness: This is a complicated patient who was recently discharged
from the hospital under the care of multiple subspecialists. Medically the patient requires continued close
monitoring and follow up in the skilled nursing arena on a proactive basis to have an impact on reduction of
rehospitalization/morbidity/and mortality. The patient's respiratory status is slowly improving at this time. We
will continue to monitor closely due to the patient's multiple comorbidities and high risk for decompensation.
In the review of systems the resident was negative for reduced appetite, negative for dyspnea (feeling short
of breath) on exertion.
Review of a progress note dated [DATE] at 6:59 p.m. showed the following: Pt (patient) reported to
NP(Nurse practitioner name) she was having severe pain in her abdomen. NP (name) gave orders to write
to order a KUB (kidney, ureter, and bladder x-ray).
Review of a Radiology Results Report, dated [DATE], showed the KUB conclusion was: Unremarkable
abdomen exam. Consider more sensitive imaging evaluation with CT (computerized Tomography Scan,
sometimes called a CAT scan) as clinically directed. This result was reviewed by Staff G, LPN/UM on
[DATE] at 9:40 a.m.
Review of a progress note dated [DATE] at 11:21 a.m. showed the following: During care plan meeting
resident verbalized that she would like to stay at facility for long term care as she feels this is the level of
care she needs. Explained that she will need to speak to the BOM (Business office manager) regarding the
Medicaid process and she did state she has spoken to her about this as well as the owner of the previous
home she was in.
A Nutrition/Dietary Note, dated [DATE] at 11:50 a.m. showed the following: Resident came in dining room
today and spoke to this clinician regarding her teeth. Resident c/o tooth pain d/t (due to) cracked/broken
upper teeth. Resident states that she thinks that all of her upper teeth need to be pulled. Resident states
that she has lower dentures but that they may to be readjusted. Resident on regular textures and agreed to
downgrade to mech (mechanical) soft at this time for easier chewing. Resident had concerns regarding her
hearing and needing glasses. Notified unit manager as social services was not available. Will continue to
monitor and f/u (follow-up) prn.
The resident had an active order for Ipratropium-Albuterol Solution 0.5-2.5 mg/3ml. 3 ml inhale orally via
nebulizer every 6 hours as needed for shortness of breath. Start date: [DATE]. The MAR shows this
medication was last administered on [DATE] and was not administered on [DATE].
The MAR showed Resident #1 was administered PRN Norco 5-325 mg at 8:18 a.m. on [DATE] with a pain
level documented as 0 out of 10 and again at 3:02 p.m. with a pain level documented as 0 out of 10. The
resident received Norco 2 to 3 times daily from [DATE] to [DATE].
Resident #1 had an order to complete nursing assessment or observation of respiratory system daily. Notify
MD or ARNP of any changes. Every night shift for 10 days. Start date [DATE]. This was signed off on the
Treatment Administration Record (TAR) as being completed 10/5 and [DATE]. There was no documentation

During an interview on [DATE] at 10:05 a.m. Staff C, RN said VS were documented on the MAR/TAR if it
asks for them and if vital signs are being taken because of a concern they are documented directly under
the VS tab or sometimes in the progress notes (in the electronic record).
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:51 a.m. Staff B, LPN/UM said VS are documented in the electronic
record in the progress notes and she does not know the Policy and Procedure for monitoring VS. She said
there was usually an O2 sat order along with the oxygen order. She agreed there was no evidence in the
medical record of the resident being stable because assessments and VS were not documented. She said
that she did not notify the physician about the resident wanting to go to the hospital and she said I know, I
didn't document .
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:15 a.m. with Staff G, LPN/UM. Staff G, LPN said regarding
vitals for Resident #1 being documented throughout her stay at the facility she said, that would have been
nice, especially her. Staff G, LPN said for a resident with a distended abdomen she would listen for bowel
sounds, call the doctor, and see if they wanted to order an x-ray or anything else. Staff G, LPN/UM
reviewed Resident #1's KUB results from [DATE] and confirmed there had been no follow-up.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:05 p.m. with Resident #1's primary care physician. He said he
would not have expected Resident #1's oxygen orders to have stopped. He said he would expect a patient
that came to the facility with a history of respiratory failure to have oxygen saturation monitoring and I would
be surprised if they were not. He said for the chest x-ray results on [DATE], the results would not have been
overly concerning assuming the resident did not have a fever, but the facility should have notified the
provider of all abnormal labs.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:18 p.m. with Staff H, RN. Staff H, RN said Resident #1 was
pleasant, alert, and oriented. He said she would sometimes take her oxygen off when she was in the hall

and wanted to go to the hospital. Staff B, LPN said while she was at lunch, Staff A, PCA came and said he
didn't feel like Resident #1 was acting right. Staff C, RN went down and was getting a set of VS when Staff
B, LPN said she joined him. Staff B, LPN said Resident #1 was saying she was having a hard time
breathing. She said the resident was scooted down in the bed and Staff B, LPN told the resident she could
breathe better if staff pulled her up in bed and got her lungs straight. Staff B, LPN said she thinks that was
around 3:00-4:00p.m. She said when Staff A, PCA told her what the resident said, she did an assessment
of what the resident needed and she basically just wanted her pain medication. Staff B, LPN said she gave
Resident #1 a pain pill when she went down there and she was much more pleasant.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:51 a.m. with Staff B, LPN. Staff B, LPN said for
Resident #1 she noticed her abdomen was distended earlier in the day on [DATE]. She said when she went
back around 3:00 p.m. the resident had just had a bowel movement. She said she thinks the resident's
abdomen was down some compared to what it was. Staff B, LPN said she thinks the bowel movement
could have possibly been the cause of her distended abdomen. Staff B, LPN confirmed the resident was
complaining of breathing issues on [DATE]. She said she did not administer the resident's PRN breathing
treatment because her oxygen saturation was ok. She said we just sat her up in bed. Staff B, LPN said at
that time no she did not ask the resident if she wanted her breathing treatment. Staff B, LPN confirmed she
did not document any assessments or VS she did during the day of [DATE]. Staff B, LPN said on [DATE]
she did not consider the resident was having a change in condition. She said the resident had taken her
oxygen off before and was short of breath. She said that day the resident was slumped in bed, so we
straightened her up and put her oxygen back on. Staff B, LPN was asked if a resident is alert and oriented
and requested to go to the hospital does she have the right to go. Staff B, LPN responded, yes ma'am! She
said, I wasn't trying to rebuke her rights, I checked on her and like I said, she was stable. Staff B, LPN
confirmed she did not notify the physician about the resident's condition or request to go to the hospital.
She said at the time I assessed her. I didn't feel at the time she needed to go to the hospital.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:43 a.m. with Staff C, Registered Nurse (RN.) Staff C, RN said
on [DATE] from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. he worked on the unit with Staff B, LPN. Staff C, RN said Staff A,
PCA said Resident #1 was feeling bad and needed assistance. He said he and Staff B, LPN went to the
room and Resident #1 said she wasn't feeling ok and wanted to go to the hospital. Staff C, RN said the
resident's stomach was distended and he believes her oxygen saturation was normal for her. He said Staff
B, LPN was the nurse assigned to the resident and the one that would have assessed her.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:05 a.m. with Staff C, RN. He said the PCA came to
him because Staff B, LPN was on her lunch break. He said as he walked to the resident's room, Staff B,
LPN came in. He said vitals were done and the resident's abdomen was distended. Staff C, RN said the
resident was saying she was in a lot of pain and wanted to go to the hospital. Since Staff B, LPN was the
assigned nurse, she took over and he went back to his residents.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 4:03 p.m. with Staff D, RN. Staff D, RN said she worked [DATE]
from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and was assigned to Resident #1. She said she got report at 7:00 p.m. from
Staff B, LPN and does not recall anything being said about Resident #1 not feeling well, having a distended
abdomen, or wanting to go to the hospital. She said she was only told about the room being on precautions
due to Resident #1's roommate having COVID. Staff D, RN said she had not seen Resident #1 yet that shift

resident did not have a pulse and was not breathing. She said she started CPR on the resident and
attached the AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and allowed it to analyze. Staff D, RN said she
continued compressions until EMS arrived.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 4:32 p.m. with Staff E, CNA. Staff E, CNA said she took over care
for Resident #1 at 7:00 p.m. on [DATE]. She said in report she was told Resident #1 had been different that
day and not her usual self. She said it was not like the resident to soil her bed, but when she went to check
on her the resident had her brief off and had urinated all over the bed. Staff E, CNA said she thought
Resident #1 was asleep. She said she grabbed supplies and asked another CNA to assist her. She said
when she went to the resident to wake her up and roll her to her side, she noticed the resident was limp.
She said the other CNA ran and got the nurse, the nurse came right away and started CPR.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:46 a.m. with the facility's Medical Director. The Medical
Director said he doesn't know the specifics of Resident #1, but it sounded like she had a pretty sudden
change in condition. He said usually with COPD you see a slow decline in oxygen saturation. The Medical
Director said if a patient with that history said she isn't feeling well and needs to go to the hospital, the
nurse should call the provider. He said if a resident had a change in condition the process should be for the
nurse to first assess the resident, hopefully properly and completely, then contact the provider for orders.
He said that could be medication or going to the hospital. The Medical Director said, no matter how
self-inflicted things may be a change in condition warrants an assessment.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:20 p.m. with the interim DON and Registered Nurse Consultant
(RNC). The RNC said if Resident #1 came from the hospital with oxygen orders, they should have been put
in the computer. The interim DON said staff should have been monitoring Resident #1's O2 saturation and
documenting. He said they have identified the facility is lacking in the area of documentation and have
started education. Regarding the stat x-ray for Resident #1 on [DATE], the RNC said she could not attest to
what happened or why there was no documented response. She said, Regardless, the nurse who received
the results should have notified the physician and documented. The RNC stated regarding Resident #1
complaining she did not feel well on [DATE], she spoke with the nurse (Staff B) who said once the resident
had a bowel movement, she was okay and did not have further complaints. She stated the nurse reported
the resident had a bowel movement sometime after 3 p.m. She said, I would expect if a resident was
requesting to go to the hospital, that their right to seek medical care was honored. The RNC stated she
would have expected the nurse (Staff B) to document vitals and all assessments completed on Resident #1
when she verbalized not feeling well.
Review of hospital records showed the patient presented in cardiac arrest. Allegedly had been in cardiac
arrest for 30 minutes prior to arrival. She was immediately intubated in the prehospital airway was swapped
out for an endotracheal tube. After initial dose of epinephrine in the emergency department she did have
return of spontaneous circulation. Pulses were palpable. The record added the prognosis is extremely
guarded considering she was allegedly in cardiac arrest for approximately 30 to 45 minutes prior to the
return of spontaneous circulation. Of note, EMS reported her bloog [sic] glucose was 26 on arrival. They
administered d10 and her glucose went up to 126 prior to arrival. A normal blood glucose level is between
70-100 milligrams(mg)/deciliter(dL.)
The Emergency Department history of present illness showed Patient is a [AGE] year old Female
presenting in cardiac arrest. Patient allegedly was found around 8 PM this evening approximately an hour
prior to arrival unresponsive and allegedly in cardiac arrest. Unknown when she was last normal per

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
record review, interviews, hospital record review, facility documentation and policy review, the facility failed
to ensure nursing staff were competent to recognize and respond to a change in condition for one resident
(#1) out of three residents reviewed for change in condition.
On [DATE] Resident #1 complained of shortness of breath and not feeling well, was unable to perform her
normal daily activities, exhibited unusual behaviors and was begging to go to the hospital. The aide
assigned to the resident notified the nurses on duty of the resident's condition and complaints multiple
times during a 12-hour shift. There were no documented assessments, vital signs (VS) or notifications to a
physician or family member. There were no PRN (as needed) medications provided to the resident except
pain medication. One hour into the following shift the resident was found unresponsive by an aide and CPR
(Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) was begun by facility staff. EMS (Emergency Medical Services)
transported the resident to a hospital where she was admitted to intensive care and died 2 days later.
This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and the likelihood for serious injury and
or death to Resident #1 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE]. The findings of
Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on [DATE] and the severity and scope was reduced to
a D.
Findings included:
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:20 a.m. with Staff A, Personal Care Attendant. (Personal Care
Attendant or PCA means a person who meets the training requirement in this rule and Section
400.141(1)(w), F.S., and provides care to and assists residents with tasks related to the activities of daily
living. According to Florida Administrative Code 59A-4.1081 Personal Care Attendant Training Program
Requirements). Staff A, PCA said the day Resident #1 went to the hospital, [DATE], she looked really
bloated and hadn't been able to go to the bathroom. Staff A, PCA said the resident was really out of it. He
said Resident #1 didn't go out of her room, didn't eat all day and she took her clothes on and off. He said he
had never seen the resident act that way before. He said Resident #1 said she wasn't feeling good and was
begging to go to the hospital. Staff A, PCA said he told Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) what the
resident said and Staff B, LPN told him [Resident #1] tends to exaggerate. Staff A, PCA said when the LPN
made that comment he reminded her the resident wanted to go to the hospital. He said another time he
went to Staff B, LPN and told her the resident was bloated and not feeling good, Staff B, LPN said she
would give Resident #1 a suppository. He said he went to Staff B, LPN three to four times during his shift
and told her the resident wasn't feeling good and wanted to go to the hospital.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:34 a.m. with Staff B, LPN. Staff B, LPN said the day Resident
#1 went to the hospital ([DATE]) she had cared for the resident on the day shift, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Staff B, LPN said Resident #1 was not feeling well that day. She confirmed Staff A, PCA came to her three
to four times during her shift and told her the resident wasn't feeling good and wanted to go to the hospital.
Staff B, LPN said while she was at lunch, Staff A, PCA came and said he didn't feel like Resident #1 was
acting right. Staff C, RN went down and was getting a set of VS when Staff B, LPN said she joined him.
Staff B, LPN said Resident #1 was saying she was having a hard time breathing. She said the resident was
scooted down in the bed and Staff B, LPN told the

symptoms of side effects, Report to MD (Medical doctor) as indicated, Observe for increased wheezing and
or lower activity tolerance and report to MD as indicated.
Review of an article titled Pulse Oximetry, accessed on [DATE], showed the following: Oxygen saturation is
a crucial measure of how well the lungs are working A resting oxygen saturation level between 95% and
100% is regarded as normal for a healthy person.Note that for people with known lung disorders such as
COPD, resting oxygen saturation levels below the normal range are usually considered acceptable.

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:15 a.m. with Staff G, LPN/UM. Staff G, LPN/UM said the
documentation of blood pressure (of 90/60) on [DATE] at 8:30 p.m. and O2 Saturation (at 90%) on [DATE]
at 8:00 p.m. were an error. Staff G, LPN/UM said Staff D, RN had called her that evening to let her know
she had problems with documenting VS at the time.
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:35 a.m. Staff F, RN said the VS were documented in the weights and
vitals tab of the electronic medical record.
During an interview on [DATE] at 10:05 a.m. Staff C, RN said VS were documented on the MAR/TAR if it
asks for them and if vital signs are being taken because of a concern they are documented directly under
the VS tab or sometimes in the progress notes (in the electronic record).
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:51 a.m. Staff B, LPN/UM said VS are documented in the electronic
record in the progress notes and she does not know the Policy and Procedure for monitoring VS. She said
there was usually an O2 sat order along with the oxygen order. She agreed there was no evidence in the
medical record of the resident being stable because assessments and VS were not documented. She said
that she did not notify the physician about the resident wanting to go to the hospital and she said I know, I
didn't document .
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:15 a.m. with Staff G, LPN/UM. Staff G, LPN said lab and x-ray
results go into a portal and have to be reviewed. The nurses, Director of Nursing (DON,) UM, and Advanced
Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) had access to view. The reviewed by on the report is the first person to
review the results. Staff G, LPN said nurses can view the results without clicking reviewed. She confirmed
the results for the stat chest x-ray for Resident #1 on [DATE] were not reviewed until [DATE]. Staff G, LPN
also confirmed there is no documentation showing a provider was notified of the results. Regarding vitals
for Resident #1 being documented throughout her stay at the facility she said, that would have been nice,
especially her. Staff G, LPN said for a resident with a distended abdomen she would listen for bowel
sounds, call the doctor, and see if they wanted to order an x-ray or anything else. Staff G, LPN/UM
reviewed Resident #1's KUB results from [DATE] and confirmed there had been no follow-up.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:05 p.m. with Resident #1's primary care physician. He said he
would not have expected Resident #1's oxygen orders to have stopped. He said he would expect a patient
that came to the facility with a history of respiratory failure to have oxygen saturation monitoring and I would
be surprised if they were not. He said for the chest x-ray results on [DATE],

the results would not have been overly concerning assuming the resident did not have a fever, but the
facility should have notified the provider of all abnormal labs.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:57 p.m. with the Social Services Director (SSD.) The SSD said
Resident #1 was alert and was trying to decide if she was going to stay long term care or move back home
with her husband. The SSD said Resident #1 was a smoker and understood the issues with smoking. She
said the week prior to going to the hospital, the resident said she was going to try to stop smoking. The
SSD said Resident #1 was active with therapy, would eat normally and was out of her room often
interacting with people. She said the resident got close with the group of smokers. The SSD said Resident
#1 wasn't difficult to work with and if the resident had concerns, she would go to social services.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:05 p.m. with the Activities Director. The Activities Director said
Resident #1 was alert, oriented, and aware. She said the resident was boisterous and would get into
discussions with other residents. The Activities Director said Resident #1 would come out to smoke and got
along with most of the people out there. She said Resident #1 had started a smoking patch and wanted to
stop smoking. The Activities Director said she never heard Resident #1 complain about being sick or
wanting to go to the hospital.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:18 p.m. with Staff H, RN. Staff H, RN said Resident #1 was
pleasant, alert, and oriented. He said she would sometimes take her oxygen off when she was in the hall
and staff would tell her to put it back on due to her having shortness of breath. He said she was out of her
room [ROOM NUMBER]% of the time. Staff H, RN said the resident didn't ever complain, say she wanted to
go to the hospital and didn't have any behaviors besides occasionally refusing something.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:22 p.m. with Staff J, CNA. Staff J, CNA said Resident #1 mostly
took care of herself. Staff J, CNA said the resident would ask for ice or help with little things. She said the
resident did get short of breath getting out of bed or doing simple tasks. Staff J, CNA said the resident
never gave anybody a hard time and didn't complain unless it was something small. She said Resident #1
would normally eat and if she didn't like the meal, she would ask for snacks or order something to be
delivered. Staff J, CNA said the resident never complained of stomach pain or said she wanted to go to the
hospital. She said the resident would often have conversations with other residents.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:48 p.m. with Staff I, CNA. Staff I, CNA said Resident #1 was a
sweet lady and a good eater. Staff I, CNA said she doesn't remember the resident complaining or having
any behaviors.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:46 a.m. with the facility's Medical Director. The Medical
Director said he doesn't know the specifics of Resident #1, but it sounded like she had a pretty sudden
change in condition. He said usually with COPD you see a slow decline in oxygen saturation. The Medical
Director said if a patient with that history said she isn't feeling well and needs to go to the hospital, the
nurse should call the provider. He said if a resident had a change in condition the process should be for the
nurse to first assess the resident, hopefully properly and completely, then contact the provider for orders.
He said that could be medication or going to the hospital. The Medical Director said, no matter how
self-inflicted things may be a change in condition warrants an assessment.
