Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
Based on resident and staff interviews, facility policy review and medical record review, the facility failed to
facilitate a prompt response to a grievance of one of 4 sampled residents, the facility did not document, or
communicate a resolution or outcome with Resident #3.
Findings include:
During an interview on 1/17/2024 at 8:45 a.m. with Resident #3 in her room, she stated she had $200
dollars cash missing in the last couple months at the nursing home. States she had $100 dollars go missing
in early November and another $100 dollars went missing a little over a month later in early December. She
said the second time (December) her roommate had given her $100 dollars as she had damaged her iPad.
She kept it in her purse and took her purse with her everywhere, except to bingo activity. She discovered it
was missing at dialysis when she went to pay for a snack and all $100 dollars was missing. She remembers
seeing money in her purse 1-1.5 weeks prior and was unable to pinpoint exact date. She reported it to the
DON (Director of Nurses) and was provided a locked drawer on her nightstand with a key to keep personal
items. She has not heard any follow-up regarding missing money, or if it was found. She said it happened
prior in early November, when $100 dollars was missing from her purse. She said she reported it to her
therapist and social worker and has not received any follow-up for either incident of missing money. She did
not receive a locked drawer with key until the second time money was missing in December 2023.
During an interview on 1/17/2024 at 1:30 p.m. Resident # 3 said her therapist Staff B helped her fill out the
grievance regarding her missing $100 dollars in November 2023. She said Staff B doesn't work here
anymore, she got married and left last month. She does not remember anyone else she told but there were
other therapists in the therapy gym when she was telling Staff B about the missing money and while she
completed the grievance form.
During an interview on 1/17/2024 at 1:50 p.m. Staff A, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA)
remembers Resident #3 talking about her missing money with Staff B. Staff A said Staff B the Occupational
Therapist (OT) helped Resident #3 fill out a grievance back in early November regarding missing money,
she believes it was $100 dollars.
During an interview on 1/17/2024 at 2:18 p.m. with Staff D from Social Services she stated she does not
remember getting a grievance for Resident #3 in November 2023. I just don't recall a grievance for her
(Resident #3). She was not aware Resident #3 was missing money in November 2023 only the incident in
December 2023. She said anyone staff/resident/resident representative can fill out a grievance form. Once
the grievance form is completed, they can put the form under my office door, hand it to me, give it to
administrator or put form in my mailbox located in conference room.

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
interviews, record review, and policy review the facility failed to protect residents' right to be free from
neglect related to not ensuring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was provided according to policy and
procedure for one resident (#1) out of three reviewed for the CPR process; not performing laboratory tests
and not following up on critical lab results for two residents (#11 and #13) out of three reviewed for lab
testing and not ensuring treatment and care was in place for one resident (#11) out of three reviewed for an
immune deficiency syndrome.
These failures created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and/or the likelihood for serious
injury and or death to Residents #1, #11, and #13 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy
which began on [DATE]. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on [DATE]
and the severity and scope was reduced to an E.
Findings included:
1.
Not ensuring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was provided:
Staff M, Nurse was interviewed at 3:00 pm on [DATE] and stated Staff L, Nurse was performing CPR on
Resident #1 during the code on [DATE]. Staff M, Nurse called this surveyor at 3:52 p.m. on [DATE] and said,
my conscious got to me. She said she was downstairs and heard the code called. She said she walked fast
to get to the 300 unit. She said it was about 5 minutes after the code was called, she got to the unit, and no
one was doing compressions on the resident. She said EMS had not yet arrived at the time she got to the
room. She said the primary nurse usually starts compressions and other nurses come up and help. Staff M
said the resident was lying on the floor with her head towards the foot of the bed and her legs were
underneath her. She said it looked like she had been standing and collapsed with her legs under her. She
said in that position it would have been difficult to do compressions. Staff M said, I was in shock no one
started compressions. She said she didn't know if they were looking for a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order
or what. Staff M said there were a lot of people in the room, and no one was doing CPR. She said they
were just like staring. She said prior to her leaving the room, Staff K, Nurse was getting oxygen for the
resident, but she didn't know what that was going to do when she wasn't breathing. She asked the nurses if
they needed help and they said no, so she left the room.
Technically, there's no formal definition for a code, but doctors often use the term as slang for a
cardiopulmonary arrest happening to a patient in a hospital or clinic, requiring a team of providers
(sometimes called a code team) to rush to the specific location and begin immediate resuscitative efforts.

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:27 p.m. with the Emergency Services Paramedic. She said their
unit arrived at the facility first after receiving a 911 call for cardiac arrest. When they arrived at the resident's
room, there were two male staff members sitting on the bed, while the patient was lying on the floor. One
female staff member was by the crash cart and one by the doorway. The Paramedic said, They were
basically watching the resident lying on the floor. She said CPR was not being performed on the resident.
The Paramedic said one nurse was messing with the suction on the

cart, but nothing was open from that cart. The Paramedic said no one identified themselves as a nurse or a
CNA. The Paramedic said no one was doing compressions, suctioning the resident, or providing oxygen to
the resident. The Paramedic said, I was mind blown. The Paramedic said she asked staff to do compression
while they (emergency services team) set up their equipment and got medications out because there were
only two responders on the first unit to arrive. The Paramedic said she had to ask multiple times for staff to
help and for someone to do compressions. She said one male started doing compressions and he put his
hands in completely wrong placement, hit her chest three times and stood up and looked at them. She told
the male she needed him to keep going so he did three more compressions. She said the male was in a
hoodie, but she did see him in the nurses' station prior to leaving the facility so she assumed he was staff.
The male did three more compressions the Paramedic said she spoke up and asked someone else to do
compressions because the male was doing it incorrectly. She said a female said, I ain't doing it, and walked
out of the room. She said the second male, a tall white gentleman, had been fumbling with the suction
machine. He had the suction tubing but no suction attachment on the end, such as a flexible tubing or
yankauer (rigid oral suctioning tool.) The Paramedic said the male was attempting to suction the resident,
but it wasn't doing anything since he did not have an attachment on the tubing. The Paramedic said after
the female staff member said she wasn't doing compressions, the second EMS (Emergency Medical
Services) unit arrived, and they took over. The Paramedic said staff didn't know if the resident had been
down a while or not, no one could say. She said EMS responders do compressions and work on the
resident until cardiac pads are on and heart rhythm can be verified. The Paramedic said the resident was
not obviously deceased when they arrived.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:31 p.m. with an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). The
EMT confirmed she came to the facility on the call for Resident #1 on [DATE]. The EMT said when she
walked in the room two male staff were sitting on the bed bending over trying to figure out the suction. She
said there was a cart with suction and oxygen and staff were trying to figure that out. The EMT said no one
was doing compressions. She said the Paramedic on scene had to ask multiple times for someone to get
on the chest. The EMT said one male staff member started compressions, but he wasn't doing it correctly.
She said there were only two responders at the time, and they needed the staff to assist while they set up.
She said the Paramedic was good at dealing with the staff and wasn't rude, but she was frustrated because
she was having to ask multiple times for them to do their job. The EMT said she was trying to get the
monitor set up and on the patient. She said when the 911 call was made it came in as CPR in progress and
all the staff should know how to do CPR. The EMT said after the male had been asked to do compressions
the Paramedic asked for someone to take over, then the second crew arrived, and they took over CPR from
staff.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 5:26 p.m. with an EMS Field Supervisor. He said he received a
report from his Paramedic on Monday, [DATE], about the call they received to the facility. He said the
Paramedic wrote an incident report regarding arriving at the facility and CPR not being performed on the
resident when they arrived. He said he wanted to go talk to management at the facility to see what
happened. He said the visit was more of a fact-finding mission. The EMS Field Supervisor said he spoke
with the DON on [DATE] and she said she wasn't even aware Resident #1 had a cardiac arrest. He said he
told her what happened and what the Paramedic witnessed. He said the DON told him it was probably
CNAs in the room, and they are not trained to do CPR and are not allowed to do CPR in the facility.
A review of Resident #1's medical record revealed a progress note, dated [DATE] at 5:29 p.m. by Staff I,
Nurse, the nurse assigned to the resident. The note showed CNA [Certified Nursing Assistant] notified
nurse resident was on floor in room. Nurse observed resident without respirations or pulse.

Code status verified. Code blue called. CPR initiated and continued until EMS arrival whom took over care.
EMS notified. Resident pronounced deceased at 3:10 p.m.
Review of admission Records showed Resident #1 was initially admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, epilepsy, anxiety disorder,
Alzheimer's disease, disease of pancreas, hypothermia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD). Resident #1 expired on [DATE].
Review of an Order Summary Report for Resident #1 revealed an active physician order for Full
Resuscitation, order date [DATE].
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:58 p.m. with Staff J, CNA. Staff J, CNA said she was just
coming on her shift at about 2:45 p.m. She said she clocked in and got up to the unit just before 3:00. Staff
J, CNA said she came up the back stairs and circled the unit before going to the nurses' station and when
she came around the corner Staff K, Nurse and Staff I, Nurse were standing at the nurses' station directly
across from Resident #1's room and both doors were open. Staff J, CNA said she and another staff
member walked up at the same time and the other staff member looked in the room and said a resident
had fallen. Staff J, CNA said she quickly set her things down and ran into the room. She said you could see
the resident's hair on the floor from the hall. She said the resident was lying on her back and had some
vomit/fluid on her face. She said she called out Resident #1's name a few times and the resident didn't
respond. Staff J, CNA said she ran out the door and told Staff K, Nurse and Staff I, Nurse the resident was
unresponsive and needed help. Staff J, CNA said both nurses looked at me like I was dumb and Staff I,
Nurse said are you joking? She said Staff K, Nurse went in Resident #1's room and Staff I, Nurse came two
minutes later. Staff J, CNA, said she went into the room to try to help but the nurses told her to leave. She
said she did see Staff K, Nurse start CPR but does not know if it continued because she was told to leave.
Staff J, CNA said there were 2 male nurses in the room (Staff K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse) and 3 female
Nurses (Staff I, Nurse and two nurses from downstairs.)
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:28 p.m. with Staff K, Nurse. He said he was coming in to work
on [DATE] for the 3:00 p.m. shift. He said around 2:50 p.m. Staff J, CNA came and said Resident #1 was on
her back and didn't look good. He said he went to the room and the resident was lying on her back with her
head towards the bathroom door and wasn't breathing at all. He said one of the CNAs grabbed the
resident's chart and Staff I, Nurse checked her code status. Staff K, Nurse said a CNA grabbed the
emergency cart and he started CPR on the resident. Staff K, Nurse said Resident #1 was still warm. He
said he didn't know what happened, but it looked like it just happened to me. He then said Staff I, Nurse
brought the emergency cart in with her and used the AMBU bag (a bag valve mask that is used to deliver
positive pressure ventilation) to give breaths to the resident and he did compressions. Staff K, Nurse said
Staff L, Nurse came in to help and took over the AMBU bag from Staff I, Nurse. Staff K, Nurse said next, he
and Staff L, Nurse switched places while Staff I, Nurse did paperwork. He said EMS came quick, but he
was disappointed they didn't take over when they showed up. He said the female responder told him to
keep doing compressions. He said two more emergency responders came into the room and they told us to
continue CPR. Staff K, Nurse said EMS never did chest compressions. He said he was doing compressions
when EMS walked in the door and only stopped when they told him to. He said EMS was sticking needles
in her and sticking patches on and he thought it was unusual they didn't take over. He said EMS was only
there about 5 minutes that's it. She was gone. He said he doesn't remember who all was in the room
besides Staff I, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse but he does know the weekend supervisor (Staff N, Nurse) came
up at some point.

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:26 a.m. with Staff N, Nurse, the weekend supervisor. She said
she was not in the facility when Resident #1 coded. She said she left the facility between 11:00 a.m. and
12:00 p.m. that day. Staff N said there was no supervisor at the facility during the event and staff should
have notified the ADON or DON.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] 3:22 p.m. with Staff K, Nurse. Staff K said when the CNA
called him to the room Resident #1 was lying on the floor unresponsive. He said he assessed the resident
and went out to the nurses' station and got her chart to confirm her code status. He said the CNA stayed in
the room while he went to the nurses' station, but the CNA did not do any CPR. He said Staff I, Nurse was
sitting at the nurses' station and she called a code blue. Staff K then said he grabbed the emergency cart
and took it in the room. He said he did a mouth sweep of the resident and that is when Staff L, Nurse got to
the resident's room. He said Staff L, Nurse and himself did CPR on Resident #1. Staff K said Staff L, Nurse
got there immediately and the two of them did the whole thing. No other nurse helped out. He said no one
else performed compression and if anyone else told you something different that is totally incorrect. When
asked who else was in Resident #1's room assisting with the code, Staff K said, I can't tell you. I didn't look
around.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:17 p.m. with Staff I, Nurse. Staff I said on [DATE] she worked
the 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. shift. She said Resident #1 coded at shift change. She said she believed it was
Staff J, CNA who let her know the resident needed help, but she doesn't remember her exact words. She
said Staff K, Nurse checked on the resident while she checked the resident's code status. Staff I confirmed
Resident #1 was a full code. She said Staff K, Nurse started CPR and another male nurse was in the room,
but she didn't know what that nurse was doing. Staff I said she didn't know if there were any CNAs in the
room. Staff I said, I believe he did CPR until EMS arrived. Staff I said she wasn't in the room; she was
calling 911 and doing paperwork. She said the other nurses had the emergency cart in the room. Staff I
said she did go in the room at some point but doesn't remember when. She said she was doing paperwork
and calling 911. She said when EMS arrived, I handed off the paperwork and stepped out. Staff I said EMS
did not ask her to assist with CPR. She said they came in and took over. Staff I said the resident was
assigned to her that day. She said she saw her just before lunch and the aides said she was in the dining
room and lunch ended around 2:00-2:15 p.m.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:49 p.m. with Staff I, Nurse. She said she confirmed the
resident was a full code. She said when she went in the room Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions and
Staff L, Nurse was giving the resident breaths, I did not pay any attention to if another nurse was on the
floor. I saw [Staff K, Nurse] and [Staff L, Nurse.] Did not see another nurse hands on. When asked who was
at the code cart Staff I stated, I was not paying attention to that. When ask if there were just a few people in
the room or a lot of staff she said, I don't know how many people were in there. Staff I said she was not
documenting and did not know who filled out the Code Blue Worksheet. She said she did not stay in the
room.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 4:29 p.m. with Staff L, Nurse. Staff L said he came in to work on
[DATE] for his 3:00 p.m. shift. He said he heard the code called and went upstairs to help on the 300 unit.
He said when he arrived Staff K, Nurse was assessing the resident and Staff I, Nurse was prepping the
emergency cart. Staff L said he thinks there were some CNAs in the room too. He said Staff K, Nurse
started CPR and I think I took the AMBU bag when Staff I, Nurse was taking it off the cart. He said, I might
have taken over compressions then switched to the AMBU bag. That's probably what happened. Staff L
said Staff K, Nurse was doing CPR on his own while everything was getting set up. He said a lot was going
on, but they probably did 6 rounds of 15 compressions and 2 breaths

before EMS got there. Staff L, Nurse said they were still following through with compressions when EMS
got to the room. He said EMS wanted compressions to continue but said the nurse should stop using the
AMBU bag. He said he didn't know why and maybe it was some new protocol. He said when the second
EMS unit arrived, they took over compressions on Resident #1. Staff L said he does remember the female
EMS responder talking about Staff K, Nurse not doing compressions correctly and could we get someone
else to do it. He said, I think they were just upset about us doing the AMBU bag. Staff L said Staff I, Nurse
was in the room when EMS arrived because he remembers going to stand in the corner with her. He said
she was in the room pretty much the whole time. He said CPR was being done during the time I entered the
room. I think it continued on until EMS took over. Staff L said they did roll the resident on her side to suction
fluids in her mouth. He said he suctioned her once and Staff K, Nurse suctioned her once. Staff L said he
and Staff K, Nurse were never just sitting on the bed, but he said he did sit on the bed at some point while
he was using the AMBU bag on the resident. He said only he and Staff K, Nurse did compressions on the
resident. He said no one else did compressions or helped position the resident.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:50 a.m. with Staff L, Nurse. Staff L said when he got
to Resident #1's room there were people in the room, but he did not know them because he has worked in
the facility for less than a month. He said Staff K, Nurse initiated CPR, the resident was being assessed,
and Staff K, Nurse was checking her pulse. He said Staff I, Nurse handed him the AMBU bag off the
emergency cart. Staff L said he took over chest compressions and he and Staff K, Nurse switched between
doing compressions and breaths and there was no one else assisting with CPR. He said at one point he
was sitting on the bed while he was suctioning Resident #1. He said when EMS arrived, they told Staff K,
Nurse to continue with compressions and Staff L, Nurse said he went and stood in the corner of the room
beside Staff I, Nurse. He said one of the responders was rude to the staff and yelled about them not doing

know how to do this. I did not think much of it.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:10 a.m. with Staff O, Nurse. She said she worked from 7:00
a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on [DATE] and responded to a code on the 300 unit. Staff O said the code was called

Nurse was grabbing supplies. Staff O said she grabbed the AMBU bag for Staff L, Nurse and Staff K, Nurse
started compressions. She said she got on the floor and helped position the resident and tilt her head to get
air. Staff O said Staff I, Nurse came back in the room and confirmed resident was a full code. She said Staff

at one point she took over compressions on Resident #1 from Staff K, Nurse to give him a break. She said
Staff L, Nurse was doing the AMBU bag and Staff P, Nurse was grabbing supplies and paperwork. Staff O

A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:25 a.m. with Staff O, Nurse. Staff O said when she
heard the code called, she ran to the room, grabbing gloves on her way. She said Staff I, Nurse was
standing by the door of the nurses' station calling 911, the emergency cart was already in the room, and
Staff K, Nurse, Staff L, Nurse, and Staff P, Nurse were already there. She said the resident was lying on the
floor flat on her back. Staff O said Staff P, Nurse grabbed the AMBU bag off the cart and gave it to Staff L,
Nurse. Staff O said she got down on the floor and held Resident #1's head in a tilt position, Staff K, Nurse
was doing compressions, and Staff L, Nurse was giving breaths with the AMBU bag. Staff O said she yelled
out to Staff I, Nurse and asked if EMS was coming because she was used to them responding faster. She
said while Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions, she noticed there was some discharge in the resident's
mouth and Staff L, Nurse said they needed to suction the resident. Staff P, Nurse was handing us supplies
and Staff I, Nurse came back in the room grabbed the suction tubing, placed a yankauer catheter on the
tubing and handed it to Staff L, Nurse, who quickly suctioned the resident and gave it back to Staff I, Nurse.
Staff O said she switched with Staff K, Nurse and did compressions, but didn't do them for very long and
she said she did not ever see Staff L, Nurse do any compressions. Staff O said they did not stop CPR and
Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions when the first responders arrived. Staff O said the female medic
told them to continue CPR and they didn't take over right away. She said Staff P, Nurse gave the medic the
paperwork they needed, and the medic was asking their standard questions like how long the resident had
been down. Staff O said a male responder arrived and took over compressions and another took over the
AMBU bag. She said the female responder, who seemed to be the lead, was quite rude. Staff K, Nurse said
to her, you don't have to be so [expletive] rude. She [the female responder] didn't respond.
Residents Affected - Some

#1 was called right at the end of her shift, around 3:00 p.m. on [DATE]. She said by the time she arrived in
the room; several other nurses were there. Staff P said she asked if they needed anything and did they
already do things like check code status, call 911, etc. She said they told her they did not need anything.
Staff P said Staff I, Nurse, Staff, K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse were in the room, but she did not remember if
any CNAs were present. She said Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions, she doesn't remember seeing if
anyone was giving breaths with the AMBU bag, and Staff I, Nurse was standing there, but Staff P doesn't
know what Staff I, Nurse was doing. Staff P, Nurse said she helped get other residents from the hall to the
dining room and said she did not help with any paperwork or handing off or gathering equipment. Staff P
said she was not near the room when EMS arrived and was not in the room while EMS was there.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:09 p.m. with Staff P, Nurse. Staff P, Nurse reiterated
Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions and Staff L, Nurse and Staff I, Nurse were in Resident #1's room.

told her they didn't need anything. She confirmed she was not handing equipment or doing paperwork at
any point and never went all the way into the resident's room.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:36 p.m. with Staff Q, CNA. Staff Q, CNA said when the code
was called on [DATE] for Resident #1 everyone went from the different units. She said CNAs do not perform
CPR they just help keep other residents away from the area. She said Staff K, Nurse, Staff L, Nurse and
Staff J, CNA were already there. Staff Q, CNA said she grabbed the emergency cart and she and Staff K,
Nurse took it to the room. She said she didn't know if Staff K, Nurse had been in to assess the resident or
not. She said Staff L, Nurse was next to arrive. Staff Q, CNA said she remembers hearing Staff K, Nurse

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:24 p.m. with the DON. The DON said she wasn't working the
day Resident #1 coded. She said Staff J, CNA found the resident and told Staff I, Nurse and Staff K, Nurse
to come to the room because something was wrong with the resident. The DON said the resident wasn't
breathing and did not have a pulse so Staff I, Nurse called the code. She said everyone went to the room
and Staff K, Nurse started CPR after the code status for Resident #1 was verified. The DON said they
continued CPR until EMS arrived and then EMS took over compressions. She said the resident was
declared deceased at the facility. The DON said the people involved were Staff J, CNA, Staff K, Nurse, Staff
L, Nurse, Staff I, Nurse, Staff O, Nurse, Staff M, Nurse, Staff N, Nurse/weekend supervisor, and two other
CNAs (Staff Q, CNA and Staff R, CNA.) The DON said Staff K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse are the two that
did CPR and the rest got items needed for them or helped get other residents out of the hall. The DON said
Staff K, Nurse did CPR and Staff L, Nurse assisted, Staff I, Nurse called the code and 911, Staff P, Nurse
got items they needed during the code and Staff N, Nurse/weekend supervisor was directing people what
to do and who needed to do what. The DON said Staff M, Nurse was helping get people out of the room.
When asked when she was informed of Resident #1's cardiac arrest, she said Staff N, Nurse /weekend
supervisor called her from the facility while it was occurring or shortly after. The DON was informed Staff N,
Nurse/weekend supervisor was not in the facility and she said, She didn't call me? Am I getting people
confused? The DON confirmed someone from the fire department came to speak with her the day after the
incident and wanted to speak with her about the code for Resident #1. She said EMS had some questions
about a female staff member not assisting in the code. The DON said she asked him for a name and the
circumstances around what happened, and she said he told her the females that wouldn't help were CNAs.
The DON said she told him the CNAs are not trained in CPR and do not do CPR in the facility. She said he
understood, and said he did not mention CPR not being done when EMS arrived.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:10 p.m. with the DON. She said for a code blue she would
expect there to be a nurse's note in the medical record to say what the scenario was. She said she wouldn't
really expect the note to say who was involved or who did what. The DON said they have a Code Blue
Worksheet that is filled out and is part of the medical record. At 3:30 p.m. the DON said she wanted to
clarify that the Code Blue Worksheet is not part of the medical record. The Code Blue Worksheet for
Resident #1 dated [DATE] was reviewed. The information on the sheet was incomplete and the times listed
on the worksheet do not line up with the times EMS recorded as having received the 911 call and
responded. The DON could not identify who filled out the Code Blue Worksheet provided.

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews, record review, and policy review the facility failed to ensure an allegations of neglect were
reported related to not ensuring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was provided according to policy and
procedure for one resident (#1) out of three reviewed for the CPR process; not following up on critical lab
results for one resident (#11) out of three reviewed for lab testing and not ensuring treatment and care was
in place for one resident (#11) out of three reviewed for an immune deficiency syndrome.
This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and/or the likelihood for serious injury
and or death and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy which began on [DATE]. The findings
of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on [DATE] and the severity and scope was reduced
to an E.
Findings included:
On [DATE] at 2:14 p.m. after multiple requests for the facility to provide a list of incidents that had been
reported in [DATE], the DON confirmed the facility had no reportable events in [DATE].
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:46 p.m. with the DON. The DON said she did not hear there
were any problems with the code for Resident #1 on [DATE]. She said no one reported anything to her. The
DON said the fire supervisor came to visit her on [DATE] regarding concerns during the code blue for
Resident #1 and he asked about the CNAs and their participation during the code, and she told him they
are not certified in CPR and are only there to assist. The DON said he wanted to talk about two staff
members not assisting in CPR and he said they were CNAs. When the DON was asked why the fire
supervisor would take the time to make a trip to the facility to discuss two CNAs who did not participate in
CPR, if there were no concerns with the CPR or care the resident was receiving. The DON said she
thought it was odd but didn't think much of it. The DON said she did not ask him if the two staff members
could have been nurses. She said, I did not think to ask. I did not think that nurses stopped CPR. No one
told me. I guess I could have asked more questions. The DON said she did not interview nurses about not
doing CPR. She said she did not think it was a neglect issue and she focused on the CNAs. The DON said
she did not document the visit or what was said, and she did not know who the person was that visited their
facility or what his title was. The DON said after he left, she did not get staff involved in Resident #1's code
blue to write statements. The DON said she did not know how many staff went into Resident #1's room, she
did not ask.
A phone interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:08 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administration (NHA)
regarding the code blue for Resident #1. The NHA said if there were concerns after a code blue, sometimes
an investigation occurs when it is over. The process is to get statements to see if everything went well
during a code. The NHA said after every code staff should make sure everything is documented, all staff
that were present are interviewed and their role was documented. The NHA said, we do this with every
code. The NHA said she was not aware there was a visit from an outsider, she thought it was a phone call.
The NHA said the DON told her he called to talk about two CNAs that were standing around during CPR
and he asked what their role was. The DON said she clarified the CNAs role to him and he was okay with
that. The NHA said she worked on [DATE] but did not know there was a concern. She said she did not think
they needed to investigate or report anything.

Staff M, Nurse was interviewed at 3:00 pm on [DATE] and stated Staff L, Nurse was performing CPR on
Resident #1 during the code on [DATE]. Staff M, Nurse called this surveyor at 3:52 p.m. on [DATE] and said,
my conscious got to me. She said she was downstairs and heard the code called. She said she walked fast
to get to the 300 unit. She said it was about 5 minutes after the code was called, she got to the unit, and no
one was doing compressions on the resident. She said EMS had not yet arrived at the time she got to the
room. She said the primary nurse usually starts compressions and other nurses come up and help. Staff M
said the resident was lying on the floor with her head towards the foot of the bed and her legs were
underneath her. She said it looked like she had been standing and collapsed with her legs under her. She
said in that position it would have been difficult to do compressions. Staff M said, I was in shock no one
started compressions. She said she didn't know if they were looking for a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order
or what. Staff M said there were a lot of people in the room, and no one was doing CPR. She said they
were just like staring. She said prior to her leaving the room, Staff K, Nurse was getting oxygen for the
resident, but she didn't know what that was going to do when she wasn't breathing. She asked the nurses if
they needed help and they said no, so she left the room.
Technically, there's no formal definition for a code, but doctors often use the term as slang for a
cardiopulmonary arrest happening to a patient in a hospital or clinic, requiring a team of providers
(sometimes called a code team) to rush to the specific location and begin immediate resuscitative efforts.

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:27 p.m. with the Emergency Services Paramedic. She said their
unit arrived at the facility first after receiving a 911 call for cardiac arrest. When they arrived at the resident's
room, there were two male staff members sitting on the bed, while the patient was lying on the floor. One
female staff member was by the crash cart and one by the doorway. The Paramedic said, They were
basically watching the resident lying on the floor. She said CPR was not being performed on the resident.
The Paramedic said one nurse was messing with the suction on the cart, but nothing was open from that
cart. The Paramedic said no one identified themselves as a nurse or a CNA. The Paramedic said no one
was doing compressions, suctioning the resident, or providing oxygen to the resident. The Paramedic said, I
was mind blown. The Paramedic said she asked staff to do compression while they (emergency services
team) set up their equipment and got medications out because there were only two responders on the first
unit to arrive. The Paramedic said she had to ask multiple times for staff to help and for someone to do
compressions. She said one male started doing compressions and he put his hands in completely wrong
placement, hit her chest three times and stood up and looked at them. She told the male she needed him to
keep going so he did three more compressions. She said the male was in a hoodie, but she did see him in
the nurses' station prior to leaving the facility so she assumed he was staff. The male did three more
compressions the Paramedic said she spoke up and asked someone else to do compressions because the
male was doing it incorrectly. She said a female said, I ain't doing it, and walked out of the room. She said
the second male, a tall white gentleman, had been fumbling with the suction machine. He had the suction
tubing but no suction attachment on the end, such as a flexible tubing or yankauer (rigid oral suctioning
tool.) The Paramedic said the male was attempting to suction the resident, but it wasn't doing anything
since he did not have an attachment on the tubing. The Paramedic said after the female staff member said
she wasn't doing compressions, the second EMS (Emergency Medical Services) unit arrived, and they took
over. The Paramedic said staff didn't know if the resident had been down a while or not, no one could say.
She said EMS responders do compressions and work on the resident until cardiac pads are on and heart
rhythm can be verified. The Paramedic said the resident was not obviously

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:31 p.m. with an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). The
EMT confirmed she came to the facility on the call for Resident #1 on [DATE]. The EMT said when she
walked in the room two male staff were sitting on the bed bending over trying to figure out the suction. She
said there was a cart with suction and oxygen and staff were trying to figure that out. The EMT said no one
was doing compressions. She said the Paramedic on scene had to ask multiple times for someone to get
on the chest. The EMT said one male staff member started compressions, but he wasn't doing it correctly.
She said there were only two responders at the time, and they needed the staff to assist while they set up.
She said the Paramedic was good at dealing with the staff and wasn't rude, but she was frustrated because
she was having to ask multiple times for them to do their job. The EMT said she was trying to get the
monitor set up and on the patient. She said when the 911 call was made it came in as CPR in progress and
all the staff should know how to do CPR. The EMT said after the male had been asked to do compressions
the Paramedic asked for someone to take over, then the second crew arrived, and they took over CPR from
staff.

resident when they arrived. He said he wanted to go talk to management at the facility to see what
happened. He said the visit was more of a fact-finding mission. The EMS Field Supervisor said he spoke
with the DON on [DATE] and she said she wasn't even aware Resident #1 had a cardiac arrest. He said he
told her what happened and what the Paramedic witnessed. He said the DON told him it was probably
CNAs in the room, and they are not trained to do CPR and are not allowed to do CPR in the facility.
A review of Resident #1's medical record revealed a progress note, dated [DATE] at 5:29 p.m. by Staff I,
Nurse, the nurse assigned to the resident. The note showed CNA [Certified Nursing Assistant] notified

name a few times and the resident didn't respond. Staff J, CNA said she ran out the door and told Staff K,
Nurse and Staff I, Nurse the resident was unresponsive and needed help. Staff J, CNA said both nurses
looked at me like I was dumb and Staff I, Nurse said are you joking? She said Staff K, Nurse went in
Resident #1's room and Staff I, Nurse came two minutes later. Staff J, CNA, said she went into the room to
try to help but the nurses told her to leave. She said she did see Staff K, Nurse start CPR but does not
know if it continued because she was told to leave. Staff J, CNA said there were 2 male nurses in the room
(Staff K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse) and 3 female Nurses (Staff I, Nurse and two nurses from downstairs.)
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:28 p.m. with Staff K, Nurse. He said he was coming in to work
on [DATE] for the 3:00 p.m. shift. He said around 2:50 p.m. Staff J, CNA came and said Resident #1 was on
her back and didn't look good. He said he went to the room and the resident was lying on her back with her
head towards the bathroom door and wasn't breathing at all. He said one of the CNAs grabbed the
resident's chart and Staff I, Nurse checked her code status. Staff K, Nurse said a CNA grabbed the
emergency cart and he started CPR on the resident. Staff K, Nurse said Resident #1 was still warm. He
said he didn't know what happened, but it looked like it just happened to me. He then said Staff I, Nurse
brought the emergency cart in with her and used the AMBU bag (a bag valve mask that is used to deliver
positive pressure ventilation) to give breaths to the resident and he did compressions. Staff K, Nurse said
Staff L, Nurse came in to help and took over the AMBU bag from Staff I, Nurse. Staff K, Nurse said next, he
and Staff L, Nurse switched places while Staff I, Nurse did paperwork. He said EMS came quick, but he
was disappointed they didn't take over when they showed up. He said the female responder told him to
keep doing compressions. He said two more emergency responders came into the room and they told us to
continue CPR. Staff K, Nurse said EMS never did chest compressions. He said he was doing compressions
when EMS walked in the door and only stopped when they told him to. He said EMS was sticking needles
in her and sticking patches on and he thought it was unusual they didn't take over. He said EMS was only
there about 5 minutes that's it. She was gone. He said he doesn't remember who all was in the room
besides Staff I, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse but he does know the weekend supervisor (Staff N, Nurse) came
up at some point.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:26 a.m. with Staff N, Nurse, the weekend supervisor. She said
she was not in the facility when Resident #1 coded. She said she left the facility between 11:00 a.m. and
12:00 p.m. that day. Staff N said there was no supervisor at the facility during the event and staff should
have notified the ADON or DON.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] 3:22 p.m. with Staff K, Nurse. Staff K said when the CNA
called him to the room Resident #1 was lying on the floor unresponsive. He said he assessed the resident
and went out to the nurses' station and got her chart to confirm her code status. He said the CNA stayed in
the room while he went to the nurses' station, but the CNA did not do any CPR. He said Staff I, Nurse was
sitting at the nurses' station and she called a code blue. Staff K then said he grabbed the emergency cart
and took it in the room. He said he did a mouth sweep of the resident and that is when Staff L, Nurse got to
the resident's room. He said Staff L, Nurse and himself did CPR on Resident #1. Staff K said Staff L, Nurse
got there immediately and the two of them did the whole thing. No other nurse helped out. He said no one
else performed compression and if anyone else told you something different that is totally incorrect. When
asked who else was in Resident #1's room assisting with the code, Staff K said, I can't tell you. I didn't look
around.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:17 p.m. with Staff I, Nurse. Staff I said on [DATE] she worked
the 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. shift. She said Resident #1 coded at shift change. She said she believed it was
Staff J, CNA who let her know the resident needed help, but she doesn't remember her

exact words. She said Staff K, Nurse checked on the resident while she checked the resident's code status.
Staff I confirmed Resident #1 was a full code. She said Staff K, Nurse started CPR and another male nurse
was in the room, but she didn't know what that nurse was doing. Staff I said she didn't know if there were
any CNAs in the room. Staff I said, I believe he did CPR until EMS arrived. Staff I said she wasn't in the
room; she was calling 911 and doing paperwork. She said the other nurses had the emergency cart in the
room. Staff I said she did go in the room at some point but doesn't remember when. She said she was
doing paperwork and calling 911. She said when EMS arrived, I handed off the paperwork and stepped out.
Staff I said EMS did not ask her to assist with CPR. She said they came in and took over. Staff I said the
resident was assigned to her that day. She said she saw her just before lunch and the aides said she was in
the dining room and lunch ended around 2:00-2:15 p.m.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:49 p.m. with Staff I, Nurse. She said she confirmed the
resident was a full code. She said when she went in the room Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions and
Staff L, Nurse was giving the resident breaths, I did not pay any attention to if another nurse was on the
floor. I saw [Staff K, Nurse] and [Staff L, Nurse.] Did not see another nurse hands on. When asked who was
at the code cart Staff I stated, I was not paying attention to that. When ask if there were just a few people in
the room or a lot of staff she said, I don't know how many people were in there. Staff I said she was not
documenting and did not know who filled out the Code Blue Worksheet. She said she did not stay in the
room.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 4:29 p.m. with Staff L, Nurse. Staff L said he came in to work on
[DATE] for his 3:00 p.m. shift. He said he heard the code called and went upstairs to help on the 300 unit.
He said when he arrived Staff K, Nurse was assessing the resident and Staff I, Nurse was prepping the
emergency cart. Staff L said he thinks there were some CNAs in the room too. He said Staff K, Nurse
started CPR and I think I took the AMBU bag when Staff I, Nurse was taking it off the cart. He said, I might
have taken over compressions then switched to the AMBU bag. That's probably what happened. Staff L
said Staff K, Nurse was doing CPR on his own while everything was getting set up. He said a lot was going
on, but they probably did 6 rounds of 15 compressions and 2 breaths before EMS got there. Staff L, Nurse
said they were still following through with compressions when EMS got to the room. He said EMS wanted
compressions to continue but said the nurse should stop using the AMBU bag. He said he didn't know why
and maybe it was some new protocol. He said when the second EMS unit arrived, they took over
compressions on Resident #1. Staff L said he does remember the female EMS responder talking about
Staff K, Nurse not doing compressions correctly and could we get someone else to do it. He said, I think
they were just upset about us doing the AMBU bag. Staff L said Staff I, Nurse was in the room when EMS
arrived because he remembers going to stand in the corner with her. He said she was in the room pretty
much the whole time. He said CPR was being done during the time I entered the room. I think it continued
on until EMS took over. Staff L said they did roll the resident on her side to suction fluids in her mouth. He
said he suctioned her once and Staff K, Nurse suctioned her once. Staff L said he and Staff K, Nurse were
never just sitting on the bed, but he said he did sit on the bed at some point while he was using the AMBU
bag on the resident. He said only he and Staff K, Nurse did compressions on the resident. He said no one
else did compressions or helped position the resident.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:50 a.m. with Staff L, Nurse. Staff L said when he got
to Resident #1's room there were people in the room, but he did not know them because he has worked in
the facility for less than a month. He said Staff K, Nurse initiated CPR, the resident was being assessed,
and Staff K, Nurse was checking her pulse. He said Staff I, Nurse handed him the AMBU bag off the
emergency cart. Staff L said he took over chest compressions and he and Staff K,

Nurse switched between doing compressions and breaths and there was no one else assisting with CPR.
He said at one point he was sitting on the bed while he was suctioning Resident #1. He said when EMS
arrived, they told Staff K, Nurse to continue with compressions and Staff L, Nurse said he went and stood in
the corner of the room beside Staff I, Nurse. He said one of the responders was rude to the staff and yelled
about them not doing things right. He said, She was adamant and making comments like can someone
else do this, does anyone know how to do this. I did not think much of it.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:10 a.m. with Staff O, Nurse. She said she worked from 7:00
a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on [DATE] and responded to a code on the 300 unit. Staff O said the code was called
three times over the speaker to Resident #1's room. She said when she got upstairs there were already
quite a few people that had responded. Staff O, Nurse said when she got to Resident #1's room Staff K,
Nurse, Staff L, Nurse, Staff P, Nurse, and Staff M, Nurse were there and Staff I, Nurse was on the phone.
Staff O said the resident was lying on the floor and the emergency cart was in the room. She said Staff K,
Nurse was on the lower end of the resident, Staff L, Nurse was on the top end of the resident, and Staff P,
Nurse was grabbing supplies. Staff O said she grabbed the AMBU bag for Staff L, Nurse and Staff K, Nurse
started compressions. She said she got on the floor and helped position the resident and tilt her head to get
air. Staff O said Staff I, Nurse came back in the room and confirmed resident was a full code. She said Staff
M, Nurse came in and asked if 911 had been called and asked if she could do anything to help. Staff O said
at one point she took over compressions on Resident #1 from Staff K, Nurse to give him a break. She said
Staff L, Nurse was doing the AMBU bag and Staff P, Nurse was grabbing supplies and paperwork. Staff O
said EMS arrived and the staff continued CPR until EMS took over. She said the male responder took over
compressions from Staff K, Nurse and a second EMS responder took over the AMBU bag from Staff L,
Nurse. She said they were not asked to stop using the AMBU bag, they continued until EMS took it over.
She said she was always taught to not stop CPR until EMS arrives and takes over. She said when EMS
arrived, they could see that the staff were doing CPR. Staff O said while CPR was being done there was a
little mucous/discharge that came to the resident's mouth so Staff I, Nurse grabbed the suction and Staff K,
Nurse suctioned the resident only one time.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:25 a.m. with Staff O, Nurse. Staff O said when she
heard the code called, she ran to the room, grabbing gloves on her way. She said Staff I, Nurse was
standing by the door of the nurses' station calling 911, the emergency cart was already in the room, and
Staff K, Nurse, Staff L, Nurse, and Staff P, Nurse were already there. She said the resident was lying on the
floor flat on her back. Staff O said Staff P, Nurse grabbed the AMBU bag off the cart and gave it to Staff L,
Nurse. Staff O said she got down on the floor and held Resident #1's head in a tilt position, Staff K, Nurse
was doing compressions, and Staff L, Nurse was giving breaths with the AMBU bag. Staff O said she yelled
out to Staff I, Nurse and asked if EMS was coming because she was used to them responding faster. She
said while Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions, she noticed there was some discharge in the resident's
mouth and Staff L, Nurse said they needed to suction the resident. Staff P, Nurse was handing us supplies
and Staff I, Nurse came back in the room grabbed the suction tubing, placed a yankauer catheter on the
tubing and handed it to Staff L, Nurse, who quickly suctioned the resident and gave it back to Staff I, Nurse.
Staff O said she switched with Staff K, Nurse and did compressions, but didn't do them for very long and
she said she did not ever see Staff L, Nurse do any compressions. Staff O said they did not stop CPR and
Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions when the first responders arrived. Staff O said the female medic
told them to continue CPR and they didn't take over right away. She said Staff P, Nurse gave the medic the
paperwork they needed, and the medic was asking their standard questions like

how long the resident had been down. Staff O said a male responder arrived and took over compressions
and another took over the AMBU bag. She said the female responder, who seemed to be the lead, was
quite rude. Staff K, Nurse said to her, you don't have to be so [expletive] rude. She [the female responder]
didn't respond.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:18 p.m. with Staff P, Nurse. Staff P said the code for Resident
#1 was called right at the end of her shift, around 3:00 p.m. on [DATE]. She said by the time she arrived in
the room; several other nurses were there. Staff P said she asked if they needed anything and did they
already do things like check code status, call 911, etc. She said they told her they did not need anything.
Staff P said Staff I, Nurse, Staff, K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse were in the room, but she did not remember if
any CNAs were present. She said Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions, she doesn't remember seeing if
anyone was giving breaths with the AMBU bag, and Staff I, Nurse was standing there, but Staff P doesn't
know what Staff I, Nurse was doing. Staff P, Nurse said she helped get other residents from the hall to the
dining room and said she did not help with any paperwork or handing off or gathering equipment. Staff P
said she was not near the room when EMS arrived and was not in the room while EMS was there.

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:36 p.m. with Staff Q, CNA. Staff Q, CNA said when the code
was called on [DATE] for Resident #1 everyone went from the different units. She said CNAs do not perform
CPR they just help keep other residents away from the area. She said Staff K, Nurse, Staff L, Nurse and
Staff J, CNA were already there. Staff Q, CNA said she grabbed the emergency cart and she and Staff K,
Nurse took it to the room. She said she didn't know if Staff K, Nurse had been in to assess the resident or
not. She said Staff L, Nurse was next to arrive. Staff Q, CNA said she remembers hearing Staff K, Nurse
talking about getting ready to do compressions, but didn't see who was doing CPR.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:24 p.m. with the DON. The DON said she wasn't working the
day Resident #1 coded. She said Staff J, CNA found the resident and told Staff I, Nurse and Staff K, Nurse
to come to the room because something was wrong with the resident. The DON said the resident wasn't
breathing and did not have a pulse so Staff I, Nurse called the code. She said everyone went to the room
and Staff K, Nurse started CPR after the code status for Resident #1 was verified. The DON said they
continued CPR until EMS arrived and then EMS took over compressions. She said the resident was
declared deceased at the facility. The DON said the people involved were Staff J, CNA, Staff K, Nurse, Staff
L, Nurse, Staff I, Nurse, Staff O, Nurse, Staff M, Nurse, Staff N, Nurse/weekend supervisor, and two other
CNAs (Staff Q, CNA and Staff R, CNA.) The DON said Staff K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse are the two that

the fire department came to speak with her the day after the incident and wanted to speak with her about
the code for Resident #1. She said EMS had some questions about a female staff member not assisting in
the code. The DON said she asked him for a name and the circumstances around what happened, and she
said he told her the females that wouldn't help were CNAs. The DON said she told him the CNAs are not
trained in CPR and do not do CPR in the facility. She said he understood, and said he did not mention CPR
not being done when EMS arrived.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:10 p.m. with the DON. She said for a code blue she would
expect there to be a nurse's note in the medical record to say what the scenario was. She said she wouldn't
really expect the note to say who was involved or who did what. The DON said they have a Code Blue
Worksheet that is filled out and is part of the medical record. At 3:30 p.m. the DON said she wanted to
clarify that the Code Blue Worksheet is not part of the medical record. The Code Blue Worksheet for
Resident #1 dated [DATE] was reviewed. The information on the sheet was incomplete and the times listed
on the worksheet do not line up with the times EMS recorded as having received the 911 call and
responded. The DON could not identify who filled out the Code Blue Worksheet provided.
2. Not following up on critical lab results and not ensuring treatment and care for immune deficiency
syndrome:
Review of the admission records showed Resident #11 was initially admitted on [DATE] after a hospital stay
for pneumonia and with diagnoses including pneumonia, immune deficiency syndrome, thrombocytopenia,
and cirrhosis of liver and was re-admitted on [DATE], after a hospitalization for a gastrointestinal bleed.
Review of Resident #11's Psychosocial History and Assessment, dated [DATE], showed the resident was
previously homeless, but said she was adjusting and felt safe in the facility. The resident's goals for her stay
were to maintain her health and medications. The Assessment also showed the resident reported
transportation had kept her from medical appointments or from getting medications. It also noted the
resident was cooperative, pleasant, and motivated.
According to an (IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME).gov article titled Guidelines for the Use of
Antiretroviral Agents in Adults and Adolescents with [IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME], dated [DATE],
ART is now recommended for all patients with immune deficiency syndrome. In patients who remain
untreated for whatever reason, CD4 counts should be monitored every 3-6 months to assess the urgency of
ART initiation .[TRUNCATED]

Findings included:
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:46 p.m. with the DON. The DON said she did not hear there
were any problems with the code for Resident #1 on [DATE]. She said no one reported anything to her. The
DON said the fire supervisor came to visit her on [DATE] regarding concerns during the code blue for
Resident #1 and he asked about the CNAs and their participation during the code, and she told him they
are not certified in CPR and are only there to assist. The DON said he wanted to talk about two staff
members not assisting in CPR and he said they were CNAs. When the DON was asked why the fire
supervisor would take the time to make a trip to the facility to discuss two CNAs who did not participate in
CPR, if there were no concerns with the CPR or care the resident was receiving. The DON said she
thought it was odd but didn't think much of it. The DON said she did not ask him if the two staff members
could have been nurses. She said, I did not think to ask. I did not think that nurses stopped CPR. No one
told me. I guess I could have asked more questions. The DON said she did not interview nurses about not
doing CPR. She said she did not think it was a neglect issue and she focused on the CNAs. The DON said
she did not document the visit or what was said, and she did not know who the person was that visited their
facility or what his title was. The DON said after he left, she did not get staff involved in Resident #1's code
blue to write statements. The DON said she did not know how many staff went into Resident #1's room, she
did not ask.
A phone interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:08 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administration (NHA)
regarding the code blue for Resident #1. The NHA said if there were concerns after a code blue, sometimes
an investigation occurs when it is over. The process is to get statements to see if everything went well
during a code. The NHA said after every code staff should make sure everything is documented, all staff
that were present are interviewed and their roll was documented. The NHA said, we do this with every
code. The NHA said she was not aware there was a visit from an outsider, she thought it was a phone call.
The NHA said the DON told her he called to talk about two CNAs that were standing around during CPR
and he asked what their roll was. The DON said she clarified the CNAs roll to him and he was okay with
that. The NHA said she came in to the facility on [DATE] but did not know there was a concern. She said
she did not think they needed to investigate or report anything.

Staff M, Nurse was interviewed at 3:00 pm on [DATE] and stated Staff L, Nurse was performing CPR on
Resident #1 during the code on [DATE]. Staff M, Nurse called this surveyor at 3:52 p.m. on [DATE] and said,

walked fast to get to the 300 unit. She said it was about 5 minutes after the code was called, she got to the
unit, and no one was doing compressions on the resident. She said EMS had not yet arrived at the time she
got to the room. She said the primary nurse usually starts compressions and other nurses come up and
help. Staff M said the resident was lying on the floor with her head towards the foot of the bed and her legs
were underneath her. She said it looked like she had been standing and collapsed with her legs under her.
She said in that position it would have been difficult to do compressions. Staff M said, I was in shock no one
started compressions. She said she didn't know if they were looking for a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order
or what. Staff M said there were a lot of people in the room, and no one was doing CPR. She said they
were just like staring. She said prior to her leaving the room, Staff K, Nurse was getting oxygen for the
resident, but she didn't know what that was going to do when she wasn't breathing. She asked the nurses if
they needed help and they said no, so she left the room.
Technically, there's no formal definition for a code, but doctors often use the term as slang for a
cardiopulmonary arrest happening to a patient in a hospital or clinic, requiring a team of providers
(sometimes called a code team) to rush to the specific location and begin immediate resuscitative efforts.

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:27 p.m. with the Emergency Services Paramedic. She said their
unit arrived at the facility first after receiving a 911 call for cardiac arrest. When they arrived at the resident's
room, there were two male staff members sitting on the bed, while the patient was lying on the floor. One
female staff member was by the crash cart and one by the doorway. The Paramedic said, They were
basically watching the resident lying on the floor. She said CPR was not being performed on the resident.
The Paramedic said one nurse was messing with the suction on the cart, but nothing was open from that
cart. The Paramedic said no one identified themselves as a nurse or a CNA. The Paramedic said no one
was doing compressions, suctioning the resident, or providing oxygen to the resident. The Paramedic said, I
was mind blown. The Paramedic said she asked staff to do compression while they (emergency services
team) set up their equipment and got medications out because there were only two responders on the first
unit to arrive. The Paramedic said she had to ask multiple times for staff to help and for someone to do
compressions. She said one male started doing compressions and he put his hands in completely wrong
placement, hit her chest three times and stood up and looked at them. She told the male she needed him to
keep going so he did three more compressions. She said the male was in a hoodie, but she did see him in
the nurses' station prior to leaving the facility so she assumed he was staff. The male did three more
compressions the Paramedic said she spoke up and asked someone else to do compressions because the
male was doing it incorrectly. She said a female said, I ain't doing it, and walked out of the room. She said
the second male, a tall white gentleman, had been fumbling with the suction machine. He had the suction
tubing but no suction attachment on the end, such as a flexible tubing or yankauer (rigid oral suctioning
tool.) The Paramedic said the male was attempting to suction the resident, but it wasn't doing anything
since he did not have an attachment on the tubing. The Paramedic said after the female staff member said
she wasn't doing compressions, the second EMS (Emergency Medical Services) unit arrived, and they took
over. The Paramedic said staff didn't know if the resident had been down a while or not, no one could say.
She said EMS responders do compressions and work on the resident until cardiac pads are on and heart
rhythm can be verified. The Paramedic said the resident was not obviously deceased when they arrived.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:31 p.m. with an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). The
EMT confirmed she came to the facility on the call for Resident #1 on [DATE]. The EMT said when she
walked in the room two male staff were sitting on the bed bending over

trying to figure out the suction. She said there was a cart with suction and oxygen and staff were trying to
figure that out. The EMT said no one was doing compressions. She said the Paramedic on scene had to
ask multiple times for someone to get on the chest. The EMT said one male staff member started
compressions, but he wasn't doing it correctly. She said there were only two responders at the time, and
they needed the staff to assist while they set up. She said the Paramedic was good at dealing with the staff
and wasn't rude, but she was frustrated because she was having to ask multiple times for them to do their
job. The EMT said she was trying to get the monitor set up and on the patient. She said when the 911 call
was made it came in as CPR in progress and all the staff should know how to do CPR. The EMT said after
the male had been asked to do compressions the Paramedic asked for someone to take over, then the
second crew arrived, and they took over CPR from staff.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 5:26 p.m. with an EMS Field Supervisor. He said he received a
report from his Paramedic on Monday, [DATE], about the call they received to the facility. He said the
Paramedic wrote an incident report regarding arriving at the facility and CPR not being performed on the
resident when they arrived. He said he wanted to go talk to management at the facility to see what
happened. He said the visit was more of a fact-finding mission. The EMS Field Supervisor said he spoke
with the DON on [DATE] and she said she wasn't even aware Resident #1 had a cardiac arrest. He said he
told her what happened and what the Paramedic witnessed. He said the DON told him it was probably
CNAs in the room, and they are not trained to do CPR and are not allowed to do CPR in the facility.
A review of Resident #1's medical record revealed a progress note, dated [DATE] at 5:29 p.m. by Staff I,
Nurse, the nurse assigned to the resident. The note showed CNA [Certified Nursing Assistant] notified
nurse resident was on floor in room. Nurse observed resident without respirations or pulse. Code status
verified. Code blue called. CPR initiated and continued until EMS arrival whom took over care. EMS
notified. Resident pronounced deceased at 3:10 p.m.
Review of admission Records showed Resident #1 was initially admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, epilepsy, anxiety disorder,
Alzheimer's disease, disease of pancreas, hypothermia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD). Resident #1 expired on [DATE].
Review of an Order Summary Report for Resident #1 revealed an active physician order for Full
Resuscitation, order date [DATE].
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:58 p.m. with Staff J, CNA. Staff J, CNA said she was just
coming on her shift at about 2:45 p.m. She said she clocked in and got up to the unit just before 3:00. Staff
J, CNA said she came up the back stairs and circled the unit before going to the nurses' station and when
she came around the corner Staff K, Nurse and Staff I, Nurse were standing at the nurses' station directly
across from Resident #1's room and both doors were open. Staff J, CNA said she and another staff
member walked up at the same time and the other staff member looked in the room and said a resident
had fallen. Staff J, CNA said she quickly set her things down and ran into the room. She said you could see
the resident's hair on the floor from the hall. She said the resident was lying on her back and had some
vomit/fluid on her face. She said she called out Resident #1's name a few times and the resident didn't
respond. Staff J, CNA said she ran out the door and told Staff K, Nurse and Staff I, Nurse the resident was
unresponsive and needed help. Staff J, CNA said both nurses looked at me like I was dumb and Staff I,
Nurse said are you joking? She said Staff K, Nurse went in Resident #1's room and Staff I, Nurse came two
minutes later. Staff J, CNA, said she went into the room to try to help but the nurses told her to leave. She
said she did see Staff K, Nurse

start CPR but does not know if it continued because she was told to leave. Staff J, CNA said there were 2
male nurses in the room (Staff K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse) and 3 female Nurses (Staff I, Nurse and two
nurses from downstairs.)
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:28 p.m. with Staff K, Nurse. He said he was coming in to work
on [DATE] for the 3:00 p.m. shift. He said around 2:50 p.m. Staff J, CNA came and said Resident #1 was on
her back and didn't look good. He said he went to the room and the resident was lying on her back with her
head towards the bathroom door and wasn't breathing at all. He said one of the CNAs grabbed the
resident's chart and Staff I, Nurse checked her code status. Staff K, Nurse said a CNA grabbed the
emergency cart and he started CPR on the resident. Staff K, Nurse said Resident #1 was still warm. He
said he didn't know what happened, but it looked like it just happened to me. He then said Staff I, Nurse
brought the emergency cart in with her and used the AMBU bag (a bag valve mask that is used to deliver
positive pressure ventilation) to give breaths to the resident and he did compressions. Staff K, Nurse said
Staff L, Nurse came in to help and took over the AMBU bag from Staff I, Nurse. Staff K, Nurse said next, he
and Staff L, Nurse switched places while Staff I, Nurse did paperwork. He said EMS came quick, but he
was disappointed they didn't take over when they showed up. He said the female responder told him to
keep doing compressions. He said two more emergency responders came into the room and they told us to
continue CPR. Staff K, Nurse said EMS never did chest compressions. He said he was doing compressions
when EMS walked in the door and only stopped when they told him to. He said EMS was sticking needles
in her and sticking patches on and he thought it was unusual they didn't take over. He said EMS was only
there about 5 minutes that's it. She was gone. He said he doesn't remember who all was in the room
besides Staff I, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse but he does know the weekend supervisor (Staff N, Nurse) came
up at some point.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:26 a.m. with Staff N, Nurse, the weekend supervisor. She said
she was not in the facility when Resident #1 coded. She said she left the facility between 11:00 a.m. and
12:00 p.m. that day. Staff N said there was no supervisor at the facility during the event and staff should
have notified the ADON or DON.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] 3:22 p.m. with Staff K, Nurse. Staff K said when the CNA
called him to the room Resident #1 was lying on the floor unresponsive. He said he assessed the resident
and went out to the nurses' station and got her chart to confirm her code status. He said the CNA stayed in
the room while he went to the nurses' station, but the CNA did not do any CPR. He said Staff I, Nurse was
sitting at the nurses' station and she called a code blue. Staff K then said he grabbed the emergency cart
and took it in the room. He said he did a mouth sweep of the resident and that is when Staff L, Nurse got to
the resident's room. He said Staff L, Nurse and himself did CPR on Resident #1. Staff K said Staff L, Nurse
got there immediately and the two of them did the whole thing. No other nurse helped out. He said no one
else performed compression and if anyone else told you something different that is totally incorrect. When
asked who else was in Resident #1's room assisting with the code, Staff K said, I can't tell you. I didn't look
around.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:17 p.m. with Staff I, Nurse. Staff I said on [DATE] she worked
the 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. shift. She said Resident #1 coded at shift change. She said she believed it was
Staff J, CNA who let her know the resident needed help, but she doesn't remember her exact words. She
said Staff K, Nurse checked on the resident while she checked the resident's code status. Staff I confirmed
Resident #1 was a full code. She said Staff K, Nurse started CPR and another male nurse was in the room,
but she didn't know what that nurse was doing. Staff I said she didn't know if there were any CNAs in the
room. Staff I said, I believe he did CPR until EMS arrived. Staff I said she wasn't in the room; she was
calling 911 and doing paperwork. She said the other nurses

had the emergency cart in the room. Staff I said she did go in the room at some point but doesn't remember
when. She said she was doing paperwork and calling 911. She said when EMS arrived, I handed off the
paperwork and stepped out. Staff I said EMS did not ask her to assist with CPR. She said they came in and
took over. Staff I said the resident was assigned to her that day. She said she saw her just before lunch and
the aides said she was in the dining room and lunch ended around 2:00-2:15 p.m.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:49 p.m. with Staff I, Nurse. She said she confirmed the
resident was a full code. She said when she went in the room Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions and
Staff L, Nurse was giving the resident breaths, I did not pay any attention to if another nurse was on the
floor. I saw [Staff K, Nurse] and [Staff L, Nurse.] Did not see another nurse hands on. When asked who was
at the code cart Staff I stated, I was not paying attention to that. When ask if there were just a few people in
the room or a lot of staff she said, I don't know how many people were in there. Staff I said she was not
documenting and did not know who filled out the Code Blue Worksheet. She said she did not stay in the
room.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 4:29 p.m. with Staff L, Nurse. Staff L said he came in to work on
[DATE] for his 3:00 p.m. shift. He said he heard the code called and went upstairs to help on the 300 unit.
He said when he arrived Staff K, Nurse was assessing the resident and Staff I, Nurse was prepping the
emergency cart. Staff L said he thinks there were some CNAs in the room too. He said Staff K, Nurse
started CPR and I think I took the AMBU bag when Staff I, Nurse was taking it off the cart. He said, I might
have taken over compressions then switched to the AMBU bag. That's probably what happened. Staff L
said Staff K, Nurse was doing CPR on his own while everything was getting set up. He said a lot was going
on, but they probably did 6 rounds of 15 compressions and 2 breaths before EMS got there. Staff L, Nurse
said they were still following through with compressions when EMS got to the room. He said EMS wanted
compressions to continue but said the nurse should stop using the AMBU bag. He said he didn't know why
and maybe it was some new protocol. He said when the second EMS unit arrived, they took over
compressions on Resident #1. Staff L said he does remember the female EMS responder talking about
Staff K, Nurse not doing compressions correctly and could we get someone else to do it. He said, I think
they were just upset about us doing the AMBU bag. Staff L said Staff I, Nurse was in the room when EMS
arrived because he remembers going to stand in the corner with her. He said she was in the room pretty
much the whole time. He said CPR was being done during the time I entered the room. I think it continued
on until EMS took over. Staff L said they did roll the resident on her side to suction fluids in her mouth. He
said he suctioned her once and Staff K, Nurse suctioned her once. Staff L said he and Staff K, Nurse were
never just sitting on the bed, but he said he did sit on the bed at some point while he was using the AMBU
bag on the resident. He said only he and Staff K, Nurse did compressions on the resident. He said no one
else did compressions or helped position the resident.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:50 a.m. with Staff L, Nurse. Staff L said when he got
to Resident #1's room there were people in the room, but he did not know them because he has worked in
the facility for less than a month. He said Staff K, Nurse initiated CPR, the resident was being assessed,
and Staff K, Nurse was checking her pulse. He said Staff I, Nurse handed him the AMBU bag off the
emergency cart. Staff L said he took over chest compressions and he and Staff K, Nurse switched between
doing compressions and breaths and there was no one else assisting with CPR. He said at one point he
was sitting on the bed while he was suctioning Resident #1. He said when EMS arrived, they told Staff K,
Nurse to continue with compressions and Staff L, Nurse said he went and stood in the corner of the room
beside Staff I, Nurse. He said one of the responders was rude to the staff and yelled about them not doing
things right. He said, She was adamant and making comments like

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:10 a.m. with Staff O, Nurse. She said she worked from 7:00
a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on [DATE] and responded to a code on the 300 unit. Staff O said the code was called
three times over the speaker to Resident #1's room. She said when she got upstairs there were already
quite a few people that had responded. Staff O, Nurse said when she got to Resident #1's room Staff K,
Nurse, Staff L, Nurse, Staff P, Nurse, and Staff M, Nurse were there and Staff I, Nurse was on the phone.
Staff O said the resident was lying on the floor and the emergency cart was in the room. She said Staff K,
Nurse was on the lower end of the resident, Staff L, Nurse was on the top end of the resident, and Staff P,
Nurse was grabbing supplies. Staff O said she grabbed the AMBU bag for Staff L, Nurse and Staff K, Nurse
started compressions. She said she got on the floor and helped position the resident and tilt her head to get
air. Staff O said Staff I, Nurse came back in the room and confirmed resident was a full code. She said Staff
M, Nurse came in and asked if 911 had been called and asked if she could do anything to help. Staff O said
at one point she took over compressions on Resident #1 from Staff K, Nurse to give him a break. She said
Staff L, Nurse was doing the AMBU bag and Staff P, Nurse was grabbing supplies and paperwork. Staff O
said EMS arrived and the staff continued CPR until EMS took over. She said the male responder took over
compressions from Staff K, Nurse and a second EMS responder took over the AMBU bag from Staff L,
Nurse. She said they were not asked to stop using the AMBU bag, they continued until EMS took it over.
She said she was always taught to not stop CPR until EMS arrives and takes over. She said when EMS
arrived, they could see that the staff were doing CPR. Staff O said while CPR was being done there was a
little mucous/discharge that came to the resident's mouth so Staff I, Nurse grabbed the suction and Staff K,
Nurse suctioned the resident only one time.
Residents Affected - Some
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:25 a.m. with Staff O, Nurse. Staff O said when she
heard the code called, she ran to the room, grabbing gloves on her way. She said Staff I, Nurse was
standing by the door of the nurses' station calling 911, the emergency cart was already in the room, and
Staff K, Nurse, Staff L, Nurse, and Staff P, Nurse were already there. She said the resident was lying on the
floor flat on her back. Staff O said Staff P, Nurse grabbed the AMBU bag off the cart and gave it to Staff L,
Nurse. Staff O said she got down on the floor and held Resident #1's head in a tilt position, Staff K, Nurse
was doing compressions, and Staff L, Nurse was giving breaths with the AMBU bag. Staff O said she yelled
out to Staff I, Nurse and asked if EMS was coming because she was used to them responding faster. She
said while Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions, she noticed there was some discharge in the resident's
mouth and Staff L, Nurse said they needed to suction the resident. Staff P, Nurse was handing us supplies
and Staff I, Nurse came back in the room grabbed the suction tubing, placed a yankauer catheter on the
tubing and handed it to Staff L, Nurse, who quickly suctioned the resident and gave it back to Staff I, Nurse.
Staff O said she switched with Staff K, Nurse and did compressions, but didn't do them for very long and
she said she did not ever see Staff L, Nurse do any compressions. Staff O said they did not stop CPR and
Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions when the first responders arrived. Staff O said the female medic
told them to continue CPR and they didn't take over right away. She said Staff P, Nurse gave the medic the
paperwork they needed, and the medic was asking their standard questions like how long the resident had
been down. Staff O said a male responder arrived and took over compressions and another took over the
AMBU bag. She said the female responder, who seemed to be the lead, was quite rude. Staff K, Nurse said
to her, you don't have to be so [expletive] rude. She [the female responder] didn't respond.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:18 p.m. with Staff P, Nurse. Staff P said the code for Resident
#1 was called right at the end of her shift, around 3:00 p.m. on

[DATE]. She said by the time she arrived in the room; several other nurses were there. Staff P said she
asked if they needed anything and did they already do things like check code status, call 911, etc. She said
they told her they did not need anything. Staff P said Staff I, Nurse, Staff, K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse were
in the room, but she did not remember if any CNAs were present. She said Staff K, Nurse was doing
compressions, she doesn't remember seeing if anyone was giving breaths with the AMBU bag, and Staff I,
Nurse was standing there, but Staff P doesn't know what Staff I, Nurse was doing. Staff P, Nurse said she
helped get other residents from the hall to the dining room and said she did not help with any paperwork or
handing off or gathering equipment. Staff P said she was not near the room when EMS arrived and was not
in the room while EMS was there.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:09 p.m. with Staff P, Nurse. Staff P, Nurse reiterated
Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions and Staff L, Nurse and Staff I, Nurse were in Resident #1's room.
She said Staff K, Nurse was the only person she knew was physically doing something. She said they all
told her they didn't need anything. She confirmed she was not handing equipment or doing paperwork at
any point and never went all the way into the resident's room.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:36 p.m. with Staff Q, CNA. Staff Q, CNA said when the code
was called on [DATE] for Resident #1 everyone went from the different units. She said CNAs do not perform
CPR they just help keep other residents away from the area. She said Staff K, Nurse, Staff L, Nurse and
Staff J, CNA were already there. Staff Q, CNA said she grabbed the emergency cart and she and Staff K,
Nurse took it to the room. She said she didn't know if Staff K, Nurse had been in to assess the resident or
not. She said Staff L, Nurse was next to arrive. Staff Q, CNA said she remembers hearing Staff K, Nurse
talking about getting ready to do compressions, but didn't see who was doing CPR.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:24 p.m. with the DON. The DON said she wasn't working the
day Resident #1 coded. She said Staff J, CNA found the resident and told Staff I, Nurse and Staff K, Nurse
to come to the room because something was wrong with the resident. The DON said the resident wasn't
breathing and did not have a pulse so Staff I, Nurse called the code. She said everyone went to the room
and Staff K, Nurse started CPR after the code status for Resident #1 was verified. The DON said they
continued CPR until EMS arrived and then EMS took over compressions. She said the resident was
declared deceased at the facility. The DON said the people involved were Staff J, CNA, Staff K, Nurse, Staff
L, Nurse, Staff I, Nurse, Staff O, Nurse, Staff M, Nurse, Staff N, Nurse/weekend supervisor, and two other
CNAs (Staff Q, CNA and Staff R, CNA.) The DON said Staff K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse are the two that
did CPR and the rest got items needed for them or helped get other residents out of the hall. The DON said
Staff K, Nurse did CPR and Staff L, Nurse assisted, Staff I, Nurse called the code and 911, Staff P, Nurse
got items they needed during the code and Staff N, Nurse/weekend supervisor was directing people what
to do and who needed to do what. The DON said Staff M, Nurse was helping get people out of the room.
When asked when she was informed of Resident #1's cardiac arrest, she said Staff N, Nurse /weekend
supervisor called her from the facility while it was occurring or shortly after. The DON was informed Staff N,
Nurse/weekend supervisor was not in the facility and she said, She didn't call me? Am I getting people
confused? The DON confirmed someone from the fire department came to speak with her the day after the
incident and wanted to speak with her about the code for Resident #1. She said EMS had some questions
about a female staff member not assisting in the code. The DON said she asked him for a name and the
circumstances around what happened, and she said he told her the females that wouldn't help were CNAs.
The DON said she told him the CNAs are not trained in CPR and do not do CPR in the facility. She said he
understood, and said he did not mention CPR not being done when EMS arrived.

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:10 p.m. with the DON. She said for a code blue she would
expect there to be a nurse's note in the medical record to say what the scenario was. She said she wouldn't
really expect the note to say who was involved or who did what. The DON said they have a Code Blue
Worksheet that is filled out and is part of the medical record. At 3:30 p.m. the DON said she wanted to
clarify that the Code Blue Worksheet is not part of the medical record. The Code Blue Worksheet for
Resident #1 dated [DATE] was reviewed. The information on the sheet was incomplete and the times listed
on the worksheet do not line up with the times EMS recorded as having received the 911 call and
responded. The DON could not identify who filled out the Code Blue Worksheet provided.
2. Not following up on critical lab results and not ensuring treatment and care for immune deficiency
syndrome:
Review of the admission records showed Resident #11 was initially admitted on [DATE] after a hospital stay
for pneumonia and with diagnoses including pneumonia, immune deficiency syndrome, thrombocytopenia,
and cirrhosis of liver and was re-admitted on [DATE], after a hospitalization for a gastrointestinal bleed.
Review of medical records showed a Social Services note, dated [DATE] that said Resident #11 is alert and
oriented and can make her needs known.
Review of Resident #11's Psychosocial History and Assessment, dated [DATE], showed the resident was
previously homeless, but said she was adjusting and felt safe in the facility. The resident's goals for her stay
were to maintain her health and medications. The Assessment also showed the resident reported
transportation had kept her from medical appointments or from getting medications.
Review of medical records for Resident #11 showed a progress note, dated [DATE], saying the resident
reported to the nurse she was vomiting on the floor inside her room. When nurse arrived in resident's room,
she noticed a huge amount of coffee brown and red blood on the floor. The resident denied any pain,
discomfort, or shortness of breath. This nurse immediately called the doctor and received orders to send
the resident to the hospital for evaluation and treatment.

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, record review and interviews, facility failed to ensure Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
was performed according to professional standards on one resident (#1) out of three reviewed for CPR, the
facility failed to ensure three out of five emergency carts were stocked correctly and ready to be utilized in a
code blue, and failed to ensure six out of thirty-two nurses had hands-on and in person skills assessment
training with their CPR certification.
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 which began on [DATE].
The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on [DATE] and the severity and scope
was reduced to an E.
Findings included:
1.
Not ensuring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was provided:
Staff M, Nurse was interviewed at 3:00 pm on [DATE] and stated Staff L, Nurse was performing CPR on
Resident #1 during the code on [DATE]. Staff M, Nurse called this surveyor at 3:52 p.m. on [DATE] and said,
my conscious got to me. She said she was downstairs and heard the code called. She said she walked fast
to get to the 300 unit. She said it was about 5 minutes after the code was called, she got to the unit, and no
one was doing compressions on the resident. She said EMS had not yet arrived at the time she got to the
room. She said the primary nurse usually starts compressions and other nurses come up and help. Staff M
said the resident was lying on the floor with her head towards the foot of the bed and her legs were
underneath her. She said it looked like she had been standing and collapsed with her legs under her. She
said in that position it would have been difficult to do compressions. Staff M said, I was in shock no one
started compressions. She said she didn't know if they were looking for a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order
or what. Staff M said there were a lot of people in the room, and no one was doing CPR. She said they
were just like staring. She said prior to her leaving the room, Staff K, Nurse was getting oxygen for the
resident, but she didn't know what that was going to do when she wasn't breathing. She asked the nurses if
they needed help and they said no, so she left the room.
Technically, there's no formal definition for a code, but doctors often use the term as slang for a
cardiopulmonary arrest happening to a patient in a hospital or clinic, requiring a team of providers
(sometimes called a code team) to rush to the specific location and begin immediate resuscitative efforts.

An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:27 p.m. with the Emergency Services Paramedic. She said their
unit arrived at the facility first after receiving a 911 call for cardiac arrest. When they arrived at the resident's
room, there were two male staff members sitting on the bed, while the patient was lying on the floor. One
female staff member was by the crash cart and one by the doorway. The Paramedic said, They were
basically watching the resident lying on the floor. She said CPR was not being performed on the resident.
The Paramedic said one nurse was messing with the suction on the cart, but nothing was open from that
cart. The Paramedic said no one identified themselves as a nurse or

a CNA. The Paramedic said no one was doing compressions, suctioning the resident, or providing oxygen
to the resident. The Paramedic said, I was mind blown. The Paramedic said she asked staff to do
compression while they (emergency services team) set up their equipment and got medications out
because there were only two responders on the first unit to arrive. The Paramedic said she had to ask
multiple times for staff to help and for someone to do compressions. She said one male started doing
compressions and he put his hands in completely wrong placement, hit her chest three times and stood up
and looked at them. She told the male she needed him to keep going so he did three more compressions.
She said the male was in a hoodie, but she did see him in the nurses' station prior to leaving the facility so
she assumed he was staff. The male did three more compressions the Paramedic said she spoke up and
asked someone else to do compressions because the male was doing it incorrectly. She said a female said,
I ain't doing it, and walked out of the room. She said the second male, a tall white gentleman, had been
fumbling with the suction machine. He had the suction tubing but no suction attachment on the end, such
as a flexible tubing or yankauer (rigid oral suctioning tool.) The Paramedic said the male was attempting to
suction the resident, but it wasn't doing anything since he did not have an attachment on the tubing. The
Paramedic said after the female staff member said she wasn't doing compressions, the second EMS
(Emergency Medical Services) unit arrived, and they took over. The Paramedic said staff didn't know if the
resident had been down a while or not, no one could say. She said EMS responders do compressions and
work on the resident until cardiac pads are on and heart rhythm can be verified. The Paramedic said the
resident was not obviously deceased when they arrived.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:31 p.m. with an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). The
EMT confirmed she came to the facility on the call for Resident #1 on [DATE]. The EMT said when she
walked in the room two male staff were sitting on the bed bending over trying to figure out the suction. She
said there was a cart with suction and oxygen and staff were trying to figure that out. The EMT said no one
was doing compressions. She said the Paramedic on scene had to ask multiple times for someone to get
on the chest. The EMT said one male staff member started compressions, but he wasn't doing it correctly.
She said there were only two responders at the time, and they needed the staff to assist while they set up.
She said the Paramedic was good at dealing with the staff and wasn't rude, but she was frustrated because
she was having to ask multiple times for them to do their job. The EMT said she was trying to get the
monitor set up and on the patient. She said when the 911 call was made it came in as CPR in progress and
all the staff should know how to do CPR. The EMT said after the male had been asked to do compressions
the Paramedic asked for someone to take over, then the second crew arrived, and they took over CPR from
staff.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 5:26 p.m. with an EMS Field Supervisor. He said he received a
report from his Paramedic on Monday, [DATE], about the call they received to the facility. He said the
Paramedic wrote an incident report regarding arriving at the facility and CPR not being performed on the
resident when they arrived. He said he wanted to go talk to management at the facility to see what
happened. He said the visit was more of a fact-finding mission. The EMS Field Supervisor said he spoke
with the DON on [DATE] and she said she wasn't even aware Resident #1 had a cardiac arrest. He said he
told her what happened and what the Paramedic witnessed. He said the DON told him it was probably
CNAs in the room, and they are not trained to do CPR and are not allowed to do CPR in the facility.
A review of Resident #1's medical record revealed a progress note, dated [DATE] at 5:29 p.m. by Staff I,
Nurse, the nurse assigned to the resident. The note showed CNA [Certified Nursing Assistant] notified
nurse resident was on floor in room. Nurse observed resident without respirations or pulse. Code status
verified. Code blue called. CPR initiated and continued until EMS arrival whom took over

Review of admission Records showed Resident #1 was initially admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, epilepsy, anxiety disorder,
Alzheimer's disease, disease of pancreas, hypothermia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD). Resident #1 expired on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Some
Review of an Order Summary Report for Residet #1 revealed an active physician order for Full
Resuscitation, order date [DATE].
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:58 p.m. with Staff J, CNA. Staff J, CNA said she was just
coming on her shift at about 2:45 p.m. She said she clocked in and got up to the unit just before 3:00. Staff
J, CNA said she came up the back stairs and circled the unit before going to the nurses' station and when
she came around the corner Staff K, Nurse and Staff I, Nurse were standing at the nurses' station directly
across from Resident #1's room and both doors were open. Staff J, CNA said she and another staff
member walked up at the same time and the other staff member looked in the room and said a resident
had fallen. Staff J, CNA said she quickly set her things down and ran into the room. She said you could see
the resident's hair on the floor from the hall. She said the resident was lying on her back and had some
vomit/fluid on her face. She said she called out Resident #1's name a few times and the resident didn't
respond. Staff J, CNA said she ran out the door and told Staff K, Nurse and Staff I, Nurse the resident was
unresponsive and needed help. Staff J, CNA said both nurses looked at me like I was dumb and Staff I,
Nurse said are you joking? She said Staff K, Nurse went in Resident #1's room and Staff I, Nurse came two
minutes later. Staff J, CNA, said she went into the room to try to help but the nurses told her to leave. She
said she did see Staff K, Nurse start CPR but does not know if it continued because she was told to leave.
Staff J, CNA said there were 2 male nurses in the room (Staff K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse) and 3 female
Nurses (Staff I, Nurse and two nurses from downstairs.)
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:28 p.m. with Staff K, Nurse. He said he was coming in to work
on [DATE] for the 3:00 p.m. shift. He said around 2:50 p.m. Staff J, CNA came and said Resident #1 was on
her back and didn't look good. He said he went to the room and the resident was lying on her back with her
head towards the bathroom door and wasn't breathing at all. He said one of the CNAs grabbed the
resident's chart and Staff I, Nurse checked her code status. Staff K, Nurse said a CNA grabbed the
emergency cart and he started CPR on the resident. Staff K, Nurse said Resident #1 was still warm. He
said he didn't know what happened, but it looked like it just happened to me. He then said Staff I, Nurse
brought the emergency cart in with her and used the AMBU bag (a bag valve mask that is used to deliver
positive pressure ventilation) to give breaths to the resident and he did compressions. Staff K, Nurse said
Staff L, Nurse came in to help and took over the AMBU bag from Staff I, Nurse. Staff K, Nurse said next, he
and Staff L, Nurse switched places while Staff I, Nurse did paperwork. He said EMS came quick, but he
was disappointed they didn't take over when they showed up. He said the female responder told him to
keep doing compressions. He said two more emergency responders came into the room and they told us to
continue CPR. Staff K, Nurse said EMS never did chest compressions. He said he was doing compressions
when EMS walked in the door and only stopped when they told him to. He said EMS was sticking needles
in her and sticking patches on and he thought it was unusual they didn't take over. He said EMS was only
there about 5 minutes that's it. She was gone. He said he doesn't remember who all was in the room
besides Staff I, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse but he does know the weekend supervisor (Staff N, Nurse) came
up at some point.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:26 a.m. with Staff N, Nurse, the weekend supervisor. She

said she was not in the facility when Resident #1 coded. She said she left the facility between 11:00 a.m.
and 12:00 p.m. that day. Staff N said there was no supervisor at the facility during the event and staff should
have notified the ADON or DON.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] 3:22 p.m. with Staff K, Nurse. Staff K said when the CNA
called him to the room Resident #1 was lying on the floor unresponsive. He said he assessed the resident
and went out to the nurses' station and got her chart to confirm her code status. He said the CNA stayed in
the room while he went to the nurses' station, but the CNA did not do any CPR. He said Staff I, Nurse was
sitting at the nurses' station and she called a code blue. Staff K then said he grabbed the emergency cart
and took it in the room. He said he did a mouth sweep of the resident and that is when Staff L, Nurse got to
the resident's room. He said Staff L, Nurse and himself did CPR on Resident #1. Staff K said Staff L, Nurse
got there immediately and the two of them did the whole thing. No other nurse helped out. He said no one
else performed compression and if anyone else told you something different that is totally incorrect. When
asked who else was in Resident #1's room assisting with the code, Staff K said, I can't tell you. I didn't look
around.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:17 p.m. with Staff I, Nurse. Staff I said on [DATE] she worked
the 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. shift. She said Resident #1 coded at shift change. She said she believed it was
Staff J, CNA who let her know the resident needed help, but she doesn't remember her exact words. She
said Staff K, Nurse checked on the resident while she checked the resident's code status. Staff I confirmed
Resident #1 was a full code. She said Staff K, Nurse started CPR and another male nurse was in the room,
but she didn't know what that nurse was doing. Staff I said she didn't know if there were any CNAs in the
room. Staff I said, I believe he did CPR until EMS arrived. Staff I said she wasn't in the room; she was
calling 911 and doing paperwork. She said the other nurses had the emergency cart in the room. Staff I
said she did go in the room at some point but doesn't remember when. She said she was doing paperwork
and calling 911. She said when EMS arrived, I handed off the paperwork and stepped out. Staff I said EMS
did not ask her to assist with CPR. She said they came in and took over. Staff I said the resident was
assigned to her that day. She said she saw her just before lunch and the aides said she was in the dining
room and lunch ended around 2:00-2:15 p.m.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:49 p.m. with Staff I, Nurse. She said she confirmed the
resident was a full code. She said when she went in the room Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions and
Staff L, Nurse was giving the resident breaths, I did not pay any attention to if another nurse was on the
floor. I saw [Staff K, Nurse] and [Staff L, Nurse.] Did not see another nurse hands on. When asked who was
at the code cart Staff I stated, I was not paying attention to that. When ask if there were just a few people in
the room or a lot of staff she said, I don't know how many people were in there. Staff I said she was not
documenting and did not know who filled out the Code Blue Worksheet. She said she did not stay in the
room.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 4:29 p.m. with Staff L, Nurse. Staff L said he came in to work on
[DATE] for his 3:00 p.m. shift. He said he heard the code called and went upstairs to help on the 300 unit.
He said when he arrived Staff K, Nurse was assessing the resident and Staff I, Nurse was prepping the
emergency cart. Staff L said he thinks there were some CNAs in the room too. He said Staff K, Nurse
started CPR and I think I took the AMBU bag when Staff I, Nurse was taking it off the cart. He said, I might
have taken over compressions then switched to the AMBU bag. That's probably what happened. Staff L
said Staff K, Nurse was doing CPR on his own while everything was getting set up. He said a lot was going
on, but they probably did 6 rounds of 15 compressions and 2 breaths before EMS got there. Staff L, Nurse
said they were still following through with compressions when

EMS got to the room. He said EMS wanted compressions to continue but said the nurse should stop using
the AMBU bag. He said he didn't know why and maybe it was some new protocol. He said when the second
EMS unit arrived, they took over compressions on Resident #1. Staff L said he does remember the female
EMS responder talking about Staff K, Nurse not doing compressions correctly and could we get someone
else to do it. He said, I think they were just upset about us doing the AMBU bag. Staff L said Staff I, Nurse
was in the room when EMS arrived because he remembers going to stand in the corner with her. He said
she was in the room pretty much the whole time. He said CPR was being done during the time I entered the
room. I think it continued on until EMS took over. Staff L said they did roll the resident on her side to suction
fluids in her mouth. He said he suctioned her once and Staff K, Nurse suctioned her once. Staff L said he
and Staff K, Nurse were never just sitting on the bed, but he said he did sit on the bed at some point while
he was using the AMBU bag on the resident. He said only he and Staff K, Nurse did compressions on the
resident. He said no one else did compressions or helped position the resident.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:50 a.m. with Staff L, Nurse. Staff L said when he got
to Resident #1's room there were people in the room, but he did not know them because he has worked in
the facility for less than a month. He said Staff K, Nurse initiated CPR, the resident was being assessed,
and Staff K, Nurse was checking her pulse. He said Staff I, Nurse handed him the AMBU bag off the
emergency cart. Staff L said he took over chest compressions and he and Staff K, Nurse switched between
doing compressions and breaths and there was no one else assisting with CPR. He said at one point he
was sitting on the bed while he was suctioning Resident #1. He said when EMS arrived, they told Staff K,
Nurse to continue with compressions and Staff L, Nurse said he went and stood in the corner of the room
beside Staff I, Nurse. He said one of the responders was rude to the staff and yelled about them not doing
things right. He said, She was adamant and making comments like can someone else do this, does anyone
know how to do this. I did not think much of it.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:10 a.m. with Staff O, Nurse. She said she worked from 7:00
a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on [DATE] and responded to a code on the 300 unit. Staff O said the code was called
three times over the speaker to Resident #1's room. She said when she got upstairs there were already
quite a few people that had responded. Staff O, Nurse said when she got to Resident #1's room Staff K,
Nurse, Staff L, Nurse, Staff P, Nurse, and Staff M, Nurse were there and Staff I, Nurse was on the phone.
Staff O said the resident was lying on the floor and the emergency cart was in the room. She said Staff K,
Nurse was on the lower end of the resident, Staff L, Nurse was on the top end of the resident, and Staff P,
Nurse was grabbing supplies. Staff O said she grabbed the AMBU bag for Staff L, Nurse and Staff K, Nurse
started compressions. She said she got on the floor and helped position the resident and tilt her head to get
air. Staff O said Staff I, Nurse came back in the room and confirmed resident was a full code. She said Staff
M, Nurse came in and asked if 911 had been called and asked if she could do anything to help. Staff O said
at one point she took over compressions on Resident #1 from Staff K, Nurse to give him a break. She said
Staff L, Nurse was doing the AMBU bag and Staff P, Nurse was grabbing supplies and paperwork. Staff O
said EMS arrived and the staff continued CPR until EMS took over. She said the male responder took over
compressions from Staff K, Nurse and a second EMS responder took over the AMBU bag from Staff L,
Nurse. She said they were not asked to stop using the AMBU bag, they continued until EMS took it over.
She said she was always taught to not stop CPR until EMS arrives and takes over. She said when EMS
arrived, they could see that the staff were doing CPR. Staff O said while CPR was being done there was a
little mucous/discharge that came to the resident's mouth so Staff I, Nurse grabbed the suction and Staff K,
Nurse suctioned the resident only one time.

on [DATE] at 11:25 a.m. with Staff O, Nurse. Staff O said when she heard the code called, she ran to the
room, grabbing gloves on her way. She said Staff I, Nurse was standing by the door of the nurses' station
calling 911, the emergency cart was already in the room, and Staff K, Nurse, Staff L, Nurse, and Staff P,
Nurse were already there. She said the resident was lying on the floor flat on her back. Staff O said Staff P,
Nurse grabbed the AMBU bag off the cart and gave it to Staff L, Nurse. Staff O said she got down on the
floor and held Resident #1's head in a tilt position, Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions, and Staff L,
Nurse was giving breaths with the AMBU bag. Staff O said she yelled out to Staff I, Nurse and asked if
EMS was coming because she was used to them responding faster. She said while Staff K, Nurse was
doing compressions, she noticed there was some discharge in the resident's mouth and Staff L, Nurse said
they needed to suction the resident. Staff P, Nurse was handing us supplies and Staff I, Nurse came back in
the room grabbed the suction tubing, placed a yankauer catheter on the tubing and handed it to Staff L,
Nurse, who quickly suctioned the resident and gave it back to Staff I, Nurse. Staff O said she switched with
Staff K, Nurse and did compressions, but didn't do them for very long and she said she did not ever see
Staff L, Nurse do any compressions. Staff O said they did not stop CPR and Staff K, Nurse was doing
compressions when the first responders arrived. Staff O said the female medic told them to continue CPR
and they didn't take over right away. She said Staff P, Nurse gave the medic the paperwork they needed,
and the medic was asking their standard questions like how long the resident had been down. Staff O said
a male responder arrived and took over compressions and another took over the AMBU bag. She said the
female responder, who seemed to be the lead, was quite rude. Staff K, Nurse said to her, you don't have to
be so [expletive] rude. She [the female responder] didn't respond.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:18 p.m. with Staff P, Nurse. Staff P said the code for Resident
#1 was called right at the end of her shift, around 3:00 p.m. on [DATE]. She said by the time she arrived in
the room; several other nurses were there. Staff P said she asked if they needed anything and did they
already do things like check code status, call 911, etc. She said they told her they did not need anything.
Staff P said Staff I, Nurse, Staff, K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse were in the room, but she did not remember if
any CNAs were present. She said Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions, she doesn't remember seeing if
anyone was giving breaths with the AMBU bag, and Staff I, Nurse was standing there, but Staff P doesn't
know what Staff I, Nurse was doing. Staff P, Nurse said she helped get other residents from the hall to the
dining room and said she did not help with any paperwork or handing off or gathering equipment. Staff P
said she was not near the room when EMS arrived and was not in the room while EMS was there.
A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:09 p.m. with Staff P, Nurse. Staff P, Nurse reiterated
Staff K, Nurse was doing compressions and Staff L, Nurse and Staff I, Nurse were in Resident #1's room.
She said Staff K, Nurse was the only person she knew was physically doing something. She said they all
told her they didn't need anything. She confirmed she was not handing equipment or doing paperwork at
any point and never went all the way into the resident's room.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 12:36 p.m. with Staff Q, CNA. Staff Q, CNA said when the code
was called on [DATE] for Resident #1 everyone went from the different units. She said CNAs do not perform
CPR they just help keep other residents away from the area. She said Staff K, Nurse, Staff L, Nurse and
Staff J, CNA were already there. Staff Q, CNA said she grabbed the emergency cart and she and Staff K,
Nurse took it to the room. She said she didn't know if Staff K, Nurse had been in to assess the resident or
not. She said Staff L, Nurse was next to arrive. Staff Q, CNA said she remembers hearing Staff K, Nurse
talking about getting ready to do compressions, but didn't see who was doing CPR.

Residents Affected - Some
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:24 p.m. with the DON. The DON said she wasn't working the
day Resident #1 coded. She said Staff J, CNA found the resident and told Staff I, Nurse and Staff K, Nurse
to come to the room because something was wrong with the resident. The DON said the resident wasn't
breathing and did not have a pulse so Staff I, Nurse called the code. She said everyone went to the room
and Staff K, Nurse started CPR after the code status for Resident #1 was verified. The DON said they
continued CPR until EMS arrived and then EMS took over compressions. She said the resident was
declared deceased at the facility. The DON said the people involved were Staff J, CNA, Staff K, Nurse, Staff
L, Nurse, Staff I, Nurse, Staff O, Nurse, Staff M, Nurse, Staff N, Nurse/weekend supervisor, and two other
CNAs (Staff Q, CNA and Staff R, CNA.) The DON said Staff K, Nurse and Staff L, Nurse are the two that
did CPR and the rest got items needed for them or helped get other residents out of the hall. The DON said
Staff K, Nurse did CPR and Staff L, Nurse assisted, Staff I, Nurse called the code and 911, Staff P, Nurse
got items they needed during the code and Staff N, Nurse/weekend supervisor was directing people what
to do and who needed to do what. The DON said Staff M, Nurse was helping get people out of the room.
When asked when she was informed of Resident #1's cardiac arrest, she said Staff N, Nurse /weekend
supervisor called her from the facility while it was occurring or shortly after. The DON was informed Staff N,
Nurse/weekend supervisor was not in the facility and she said, She didn't call me? Am I getting people
confused? The DON confirmed someone from the fire department came to speak with her the day after the
incident and wanted to speak with her about the code for Resident #1. She said EMS had some questions
about a female staff member not assisting in the code. The DON said she asked him for a name and the
circumstances around what happened, and she said he told her the females that wouldn't help were CNAs.
The DON said she told him the CNAs are not trained in CPR and do not do CPR in the facility. She said he
understood, and said he did not mention CPR not being done when EMS arrived.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:10 p.m. with the DON. She said for a code blue she would
expect there to be a nurse's note in the medical record to say what the scenario was. She said she wouldn't
really expect the note to say who was involved or who did what. The DON said they have a Code Blue
Worksheet that is filled out and is part of the medical record. At 3:30 p.m. the DON said she wanted to
clarify that the Code Blue Worksheet is not part of the medical record. The Code Blue Worksheet for
Resident #1 dated [DATE] was reviewed. The information on the sheet was incomplete and the times listed
on the worksheet do not line up with the times EMS recorded as having received the 911 call and
responded. The DON could not identify who filled out the Code Blue Worksheet provided.
2. Emergency Carts
An observation was conducted on [DATE] at 9:44 a.m. of the 100 high hall emergency cart. The emergency
cart was sitting in the hall directly across from the nurses' station. The oxygen tank meter on the cart
showed the tank was only ¼ full and the needle was pointing to where the red and yellow line met.
(The yellow line indicated the oxygen tank was running low and the red indicated the tank was empty.) The
cart contained an Emergency Cart Inventory Check List showing the following items should be in the cart:
1-Mobile Emergency Cart
2-Gloves
3-CPR backboard
4-AMBU bag

The 100 high hall emergency cart did not have a CPR backboard (#3) or a yankauer suction catheter (#11).
The top of the cart was also soiled with dried liquid and debris. The Emergency Cart Inventory sheet
showed the cart was signed off by a staff member daily from [DATE] to [DATE] as being verified that each
item listed in the inventory was present and available for immediate use. (Photographic evidence obtained.)
On [DATE] at 9:50 a.m. the cart remained with an oxygen tank only ¼ full, with no backboard and no
yankauer suction catheter. The Emergency Cart Inventory had been signed off as verified on [DATE].
(Photographic evidence obtained.)
An observation was conducted on [DATE] at 9:51 a.m. of the main dining room emergency cart. The cart
did not contain a small blood pressure cuff (#13), it contained two large cuffs. The Emergency Cart
Inventory was signed off as verified on 1/1 to [DATE] and 1/15 to [DATE]. The cart had not been checked on
[DATE] and [DATE]/24. (Photographic evidence obtained.)
An observation was conducted on [DATE] at 1:35 p.m. of the 300 hall emergency cart. The cart was in the
nurses' station behind a locked door, and it was being blocked by a cart with a drink cooler on it. The
suction canister that was attached to the suction machine on the cart had been used and contained dried
fluids. The cart did not contain a small blood pressure cuff (#13; it contained two large cuffs. Staff V, Nurse,
came over and looked at the suction canister. She said it was disgusting and there is no reason for that.
Staff V, Nurse, said the night shift staff checks the carts and makes sure they are stocked and clean. She
said she doesn't know why this cart was signed off everyday with the used suction canister. Staff V, Nurse
said she believed [DATE] was the last time the cart was used but she would have to check with the DON.
(Photographic evidence obtained.)
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:24 p.m. with the DON. The DON confirmed the 300 hall
emergency cart was last used on [DATE]. The DON confirmed on [DATE], two codes were called on the 300

hall: one around 7:00 a.m. and one around 3:00 p.m. When asked if the cart had been restocked and
cleaned after the morning code she stated, I can't say that it was. The DON said the cart should be
restocked with whatever was utilized during the code, ideally right after the code is completed. She said the
emergency carts were checked by the night shift and they should check to make sure all items on the
inventory are on the cart and available for use. When asked what level the oxygen tank should be, the DON
said there is no policy to show when to change it. When asked if ¼ of a tank of oxygen is sufficient
she said, it is just supposed to be functional for use. She said if it turns on and works it is fine and if it ran
out in a code someone would get another oxygen tank. Regarding the 300 hall suction canister being
soiled, the DON said she doesn't know what happened with it sitting there.

Provide or obtain laboratory tests/services when ordered and promptly tell the ordering practitioner of the
results.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview, and policy review the facility failed to perform ordered laboratory (lab) testing,
failed to inform the provider of critical lab results and/or failed to carry out provider orders in response to
critical lab results for two resident (#11 and #13) out of three residents reviewed for labs.
This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and the likelihood for serious injury and
or death to Residents #11, and #13 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy which began
on [DATE]. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on [DATE] and the severity
and scope was reduced to an E.
Finding included:
1. Resident #11
Review of the admission records showed Resident #11 was initially admitted on [DATE] after a hospital stay
for pneumonia and with diagnoses including pneumonia, immune deficiency syndrome, thrombocytopenia,
and cirrhosis of liver and was re-admitted on [DATE], after a hospitalization for a gastrointestinal bleed.
According to a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute article titled, Thrombocytopenia, dated [DATE],
Thrombocytopenia is a condition that occurs when the platelet count in your blood is too low. The article
stated this can be life-threatening, especially if the patient had serious bleeding or bleeding in the brain, but
early treatment could help avoid serious complications. The article explains bleeding causes the main
symptoms of thrombocytopenia with signs including bleeding that last a long time, even from small injuries,
petechia (small, flat red spots under the skin from blood leaking out of blood vessels), purpura (bleeding in
your skin that can cause red, purple, or brownish-yellow spots) nosebleeds or bleeding from gums, or blood
in urine or stool.
(Accessed on [DATE] at https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/thrombocytopenia)
Review of medical records for Resident #11 showed a progress note, dated [DATE], saying the resident
reported to the nurse she was vomiting on the floor inside her room. When nurse arrived in resident's room,
she noticed a huge amount of coffee brown and red blood on the floor. The resident denied any pain,
discomfort, or shortness of breath. This nurse immediately called the doctor and received orders to send
the resident to the hospital for evaluation and treatment.
Review of the Medical Certification for Medicaid Long-Term Care Services and Patient Transfer Form
(AHCA Form 3008), dated [DATE], showed Resident #11 was diagnosed with an upper gastrointestinal (GI)
bleed and needed to have Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) labs
drawn in 2-3 days. Discharge instructions noted the resident had a transfusion of 2 units of packed red
blood cells (PRBC) on [DATE]. The plan was to follow-up with the primary care provider in 3-5 days,
follow-up with a Gastroenterology physician in 2 weeks and follow-up with a cardiology physician.
Review of labs drawn at the facility on [DATE] for Resident #11 had the following results.

resident, they ask for the Director of Nursing (DON.) If the DON is not reachable, they call the receptionist
and ask for a nurse. He said if they still get no response, they fax the facility and ask for them to call the lab.
He said the lab results are also faxed to the facility, even when a call is made. The lab tech reviewed
Resident #11's lab work and said on [DATE] the resident had critical results and Staff F, Nurse was notified
on [DATE] at 1:40 p.m. The lab tech also confirmed Resident #11 did not have any labs drawn related to her
immune deficiency syndrome, she only had a CBC and CMP.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:47 p.m. with Staff F, Nurse. Staff F said Resident #11 was a
very pleasant, very nice lady and was very mobile and cooperative with care. She said on [DATE] she was
not notified of Resident #11's critical lab results. Staff F said on [DATE] she saw critical lab results for
Resident #11 and her primary care provider was in the building, so she had him review and sign the results.
Staff F said I got so busy, I always put a note in. I forgot to put the note in the computer. Staff F said it is
difficult because Unit Mangers follow up on labs but get put on the medication cart to work and someone
else is supposed to take care of those duties. She said there needs to be a better process in place for the
Unit Manger job duties for when unit managers are working on the medication cart. Regarding Resident
#11 she said, We failed her.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:10 p.m. with Staff E, Nurse. She stated Resident #11 was calm,
compliant, and cognitively aware. She said the resident could walk around the facility independently but did
like being in her room. Staff E, Nurse said when a resident had critical lab results, the lab would call the
nurse and fax the results. She said the nurse then calls the provider's office immediately, even if it is after
hours. Staff E, Nurse said after Resident #11 had critical lab results on [DATE] she saw a hematology
consult was ordered, but she said on her screen it only showed a consult is needed, it did not show her it
was related to critical lab values. Staff E, Nurse said she believed the consultation was a follow-up. Staff E,
Nurse reviewed the order in the resident's electronic medical record and confirmed the order showed the
consultation was for critical labs, she reiterated it does not show up like that on the nurses' screen, it only
shows a consult is needed and does not provide the order details. She said she reached out to a couple of
hematology offices and was waiting to hear back. She said she didn't document anything because there
wasn't an appointment scheduled. Staff E, Nurse said if she had known the consultation was for critical
labs, she would have made more attempts, documented, and reached out to the primary care provider to
let them know there wasn't an appointment yet. Staff E, Nurse confirmed there was no monitoring in place
related to signs and symptoms of bleeding for Resident #11. Staff E, Nurse said on [DATE] Resident #11
mentioned she wasn't feeling good. The facility had some residents with COVID-19, so they did a COVID
test around 1:30 p.m. and it was negative. Staff E, Nurse said she called the doctor, and a chest x-ray was
ordered. When the x-ray technician showed up, they found the resident unresponsive in bed.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:10 a.m. with the DON. The DON reviewed Resident #11's
electronic medical record regarding critical lab results. The DON said, I don't see anything written, related
to the critical lab values on [DATE]. She said she thinks Staff F, Nurse talked to the provider, but she
confirmed nothing was documented. The DON said for critical lab values, they receive a call and a fax from
the lab. She said the fax goes directly to the nurses' station and the nurses know to check for faxes. The
DON said the doctor should be notified immediately. She said management does look at results and if there
are orders they follow up to ensure those were completed. The DON said I think that is why the Unit
Manager, Staff F, Nurse, spoke to the nurse practitioner about the labs, I just don't see a note. Regarding
the hematology consult for Resident #11, the DON said she believed one of the nurses was working on
getting an appointment, but I don't see it documented. The DON

confirmed the lack of action for the critical labs was a problem. The DON said with these critical lab values
she would have expected monitoring for signs and symptoms of bleeding to have been in place. She
reviewed the medical record and confirmed the monitoring was not in place for Resident #11.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:41 p.m. with Resident #11's PCP. The PCP said he was aware
of the resident, but he believed his nurse practitioner saw her. Regarding Resident #11's critical lab results
on [DATE], the PCP said he was not notified of the critical lab results when they came in. He said a week or
so after that (he said he didn't remember the date), he saw the results. He said when he first saw the lab
results, he wanted to send Resident #11 to the hospital, but the results were so old, so he ordered repeat
labs. The PCP said he didn't hear anything back and when he went to check on the resident's labs again,
he was notified she died.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 5:00 p.m. with Resident #11's PCP's Advanced Registered Nurse
Practitioner (ARNP.) The ARNP said she saw Resident #11 last on [DATE] and she was not in any distress.
She said the resident was cooperative with care and there had not been any non-compliance reported. The
ARNP said she was not notified of Resident #11's critical lab results on [DATE]. She said if something was
abnormal, she would expect to have been notified. The ARNP said she receives notifications from facilities
on an application program (app) her practice uses or on her text messages. She reviewed her provider app
and text messages and confirmed she had no notifications related to Resident #11's critical labs on [DATE].
She said, I rely on staff to let me know if anything needs a STAT response. They have my number. I know
she was at high risk with such low numbers. That was kind of missed. It is unfortunate. The ARNP
confirmed she was working on [DATE] and would have been available if staff contacted her. As for the
critical lab results on [DATE] for Resident #11, she said she did not see those labs, but the response for the
resident to see a hematologist should have been STAT. The ARNP said she would have personally sent the
resident to the hospital with her platelet count below 40.
2.Resident #13
Review of the admission Records showed Resident #13 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
hemiplegia and hemiparesis following unspecified cerebrovascular disease and epilepsy.

Sheet, dated [DATE], showing Resident #13's Keppra level was to be drawn that day. The lab was not
signed off by the phlebotomist as being drawn. There was no documentation on the Lab Monitoring Sheet
or progress notes to indicate the resident refused the lab draw.
Review of Resident #13's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS,) dated [DATE], Section C, Cognitive Patters,
showed he had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3, indicating a severely impaired
cognition. He was unable to be interviewed.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:05 p.m. with Staff H, Nurse. Staff H reviewed the Lab
Monitoring Sheet for [DATE] out of the lab book. She then logged into the laboratory company's website
and confirmed the last lab for Resident #13 was drawn in [DATE]. Staff H reviewed Resident #13's
physician orders and confirmed it should have been drawn on [DATE] and it was not completed and there
was no documentation as to why. Staff H said this lab was scheduled to be drawn on a Saturday and the
missed lab should have been caught when it was reviewed by management on Monday morning.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:38 p.m. with the DON. The DON said each unit had a lab book
where lab orders were listed. She said the lab tech draws the lab and signed it off in the book each day on
the Lab Monitoring Sheet. The unit managers then took the daily lab monitoring sheet out of the book and
made a copy of it. The original daily lab monitoring sheet was returned to the book and the unit managers
used the copy to check off each section of the lab sheet (i.e. results, doctor notified, results in chart, orders
received, noted in chart, and comments) as it was completed. The DON confirmed the copied daily lab
monitoring sheet was not reconciled with the lab monitoring sheet in the lab book. She said the unit
managers brought the copied sheet to the morning meetings where the management team reviewed labs.
The completed sheets were given to the DON. She agreed a nurse would not be able to see if all the steps
were completed if they checked the daily lab book. The Regional Nurse Consultant (RNC) pulled up
Resident #13's medical record and confirmed his lab had not been completed as ordered. The DON said
she didn't know how that happened and why it wasn't reviewed and caught.
An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 3:05 p.m. with the facility's Medical Director. The Medical Director
stated he would expect critical lab values to be responded to the day the facility receives them. He said the
nurse should reach out to the resident's provider and if they do not get a response, they should call him.
The Medical Director said for critical lab values, staff can always call him, and the resident could be sent to
the emergency department for acute care. He said if staff had concerns or did not get an appropriate
response from the resident's doctor, they should let me know. He said he would expect there to be
documentation in a resident's record anytime a provider was contacted, or an attempt was made. The
Medical Director said he would be addressing these concerns with the facility.
Review of a facility policy titled Laboratory Services, effective [DATE], showed the following:
Policy: The facility will provide or obtain laboratory services to meet the needs of its residents/patients. The
facility will be responsible for the quality and timeliness of services whether provided by the facility or an
outside agency. The laboratory selected to perform the tests will be Medicare approved.
