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, and record review, the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from neglect by
failing to honor the resident's wishes for life saving measures, by failing to follow physician's order for Full
Code and failing to initiate Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for 1 of 6 residents reviewed for
Advanced Directives, of a total sample of 8 residents, (#2).
On [DATE] at approximately 10:05 PM, resident #2 was found not breathing by Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) D. The CNA notified Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C who evaluated the resident with no vital
signs. LPN C did not check the resident's code status nor provide CPR but instead informed the Weekend
Supervisor Registered Nurse (RN) E of the situation at approximately 10:08 PM. RN E found resident #2
without any vital signs and failed to initiate CPR although he knew the resident had a physician order for
Full Code. Both nurses failed to provide CPR, failed to call a code overhead for additional support, failed to
call 911 and failed to notify the Assistant Director of Nurses (ADON) that they failed to provide CPR for a
resident who was a full code.
The facility's failure to provide CPR per the resident's Advanced Directives, care plan and physician's
orders, resulted in Immediate Jeopardy beginning on [DATE].
On [DATE] there were 84 residents with full code orders in the facility. The Immediate Jeopardy was
removed on [DATE] and the scope and severity of the deficiency was decreased to D, no actual harm with
potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy.

support he received CPR on [DATE] when he was found by staff with no vital signs, they acknowledged
they were unaware of the concerns until the time of the survey. The UM said she did talk with hospice nurse
RN F and the hospice Social Worker (SW) as well about the resident code status and was aware they had
been working with the son in regards to obtaining DNR orders however he remained a Full Code until that
physician order was obtained. The ADON, DON and the UM verified that residents must remain Full Code
until they had DNR orders in place. They explained if a resident was found by the CNA that they preferred
the CNA to get the nurse and then the nurse would start CPR, and the CNA could help to call the
code/overhead page and 911. The DON stated, if no DNR, the staff need to initiate CPR. The UM verified
she did have abuse/neglect training in the last three months and understood the definition of neglect was
not providing the goods and services needed for a resident's care.
On [DATE] at 5:03 PM, a telephone interview was conducted with resident #2's son who verified he was the
Power of Attorney (POA) and Health Care Surrogate. Resident #2's son said, after his dad returned to the
facility from the hospital his condition was fragile. The son explained, I did not return the facility or hospice's
calls because I was not comfortable signing the DNR due to a conflict within the family where 3 of the 5
siblings in his family wanting resuscitation, but the others did not.
On [DATE] at 2:45 PM, in an interview with the facility Social Services Director and Social Services
Assistant. The assistant said, she had reviewed advanced directives with the son who had POA for financial
and health after the resident returned from the hospital on [DATE]. She talked to the son over the phone on
[DATE] and saw the resident as well who could not make his own decisions. She knew the hospice staff
was working with the son regarding obtaining the DNR, however he had a large family, and it ultimately was
a family decision. The Social Services Director explained the process that once the hospice had the DNR
signed they would email or fax a copy to the facility and then she would immediately inform nursing staff of
the resident's/family's wishes so they could be honored. The Social Services Director, who was the Abuse
Coordinator, validated for nurses not to provide the care and services needed it was considered neglect.
On [DATE] at 12:40 PM, a telephone interview was conducted with CNA D who worked on [DATE] on the
3-11 PM shift. She was not resident #2's usual CNA and explained that earlier in her shift she saw the
resident had shallow breathing. She recalled she checked on him every 30 minutes and asked LPN C about
his breathing and was told by the nurse, he is passing on. The CNA verified the last time she saw the
resident breathing was approximately 9:45 PM that night. She remembered that around 10:05 PM she
informed LPN C he had passed because resident #2 was no longer breathing but verified he was not cold
either. She stated the nurse got up right away and they both went into the resident's room. CNA D said she
saw the nurse check for a pulse, take off the oxygen nasal cannula and then go back to the desk to talk with
the supervisor. She did not see any of the nurses rush into resident #2's room to provide or assist with
CPR, call a code or call for emergency services.
On [DATE] at 10:53 AM, a telephone interview was conducted with assigned LPN C who explained she
worked every weekend, double shifts from 7 AM to 3 PM and 3 PM to 11 PM. LPN C said she was not
informed in the nursing report by the off going nurse that resident #2 was a Full Code. The off-going nurse
only said told her he was not feeling well, slept most of the day and did not eat his lunch. During her shift
she went to his room, and he only took a couple of sips of a nutritional shake that she offered. LPN C said,
CNA D told me at 10:05 PM, the resident passed away, he was not moving at all and seemed like he
expired. She then ran to the room with the blood pressure (BP) machine and verified he had no BP, and no
pulse in his arm or neck. LPN C then a few minutes later had RN E, the supervisor come to the resident's
room at 10:08 PM, who told her, He's dead. LPN C said she did not check

resident #2's code status because her report sheet showed under code status he was hospice. She
confirmed she failed to initiate CPR prior to getting supervisor RN E to come to the room. LPN C explained
that even in a code situation she would not call 911 until approved by the supervisor because she was
afraid of getting in trouble. LPN C said she knew she was supposed to check the computer for the
resident's code status but did not because the computer was slow, instead she waited for the supervisor to
come. LPN C denied any knowledge of a book at the nurses' station that contained residents' DNRO (Do
Not Resuscitate Orders) nor did she check the book to ascertain resident #2's code status. While sitting at
the nurses' station and calling the physician, family, hospice and finally the funeral home she found out
resident #2 was a Full Code when she looked in the medical record and spoke to RN E about it. RN E told
her since he was already dead, they didn't have to do CPR. LPN C said if she had known resident #2 was a
Full Code she would have provided CPR and paged a code over the facility phone. LPN C again added that
even in a code situation she would not have called 911 unless approved by a supervisor.
On [DATE] at 12:05 PM, a telephone interview was conducted with RN E who was the Weekend Supervisor
and usually worked from 7 AM to 11 PM on Saturday and Sunday. RN E verified that on [DATE] LPN C
came to get him between 10:00 PM and 10:10 PM while he was shredding documents in the front office
area near the lobby. He stated he was not at the nurse's station and because he was wearing earbuds and
shredding documents, he could not hear anything. RN E explained LPN C came to the front of the building
to get his attention, then he removed his earbuds, and she informed him resident #2 was dead. RN E
recalled he went down to resident #2's room with LPN C and verified he was deceased by checking
respirations, apical (chest), and radial (wrist) pulse which were not found. He explained he did not feel it
was appropriate for him to initiate CPR since he was the 2nd nurse on the scene. He explained he knew the
DNR was in process for resident #2 with hospice and the family and did not think it was reasonable to put
the resident through being resuscitated. RN E notified the ADON via text message that resident #2 passed
away that night but did not inform her the resident was a Full Code and had not received CPR. RN E said
he did not have any conversations with facility administration regarding resident #2 not getting CPR until
late yesterday afternoon when he was informed by the DON there was a major concern. RN E said he now
knew that he should have provided CPR and informed ADON that night when the resident did not get CPR
per his wishes and the physician order.
The facility reported a complaint against LPN C to Florida Health Medical Quality Assurance (MQA) on
[DATE] regarding the incident dated [DATE] which read, LPN, holding position of floor nurse, was called to
resident's room .by assigned CNA related to resident was nonresponsive without respirations or pulse on
[DATE] at approximately 10:08 PM .LPN did not follow Standards of Care related to verifying Code Status
of resident. Resident was a Full Code and .LPN did not perform CPR.

did not get CPR until three days later on [DATE] during the survey. The DON explained he was not aware
that resident #2's death was imminent and if he had known he could have gotten the medical director
involved to call the son and try to get the DNR in place.

Reporter on [DATE] and attended in person inservice on Abuse and Neglect on [DATE].
According to recent education provided to staff between [DATE] and [DATE] regarding the facility's policies
and procedures on Abuse/Neglect, neglect was defined as harming the person in your care; either
physically, mentally, or emotionally by failing to provide needed care.
Review of the immediate actions to remove the Immediate Jeopardy implemented by the facility as stated in
their accepted Immediate Jeopardy Removal Plan revealed the following, which were verified by the
surveyors:
*On [DATE], the facility identified that resident #2 (who is deceased ) had a code status of Full Code;
however, on [DATE], upon finding resident#2 with no respirations or pulse, the facility nurse failed to initiate
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in accordance with the physician's order and the resident/resident
representative's advanced directives in place at the time of the incident.

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
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff reported neglect of a resident related to not
performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the Risk Manager or Administrator which resulted in
late reporting to the State Agency and Adult Protective Services for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for neglect, of
a total sample of 8 residents, (#2).
Findings:
Resident #2 was re- admitted to the facility from the hospital on [DATE] with diagnoses that included
dementia, cerebrovascular disease and adult failure to thrive. The medical record revealed he was
readmitted on hospice services.
Progress notes dated [DATE] at 10:40 PM and 11:16 PM, revealed that at approximately 10:05 PM,
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C was notified by the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) that resident #2
was not breathing. LPN C assessed the resident and found he had no pulse or blood pressure. The note did
not indicate that she checked the resident's code status and initiated CPR as per the physican order, but
instead went to notify the Weekend Supervisor Registered Nurse (RN) E at the front of the building. RN E
immediately went to the resident's room and confirmed he had no vital signs, but also failed to initiate or
provide CPR. The facility staff failed to follow the physician order, and their policies and procedures for CPR
by not checking the resident's code status. They failed to immediately report the incident once they realized
the neglected to perform CPR as ordered to the appropriate facility staff. As a result of this failure the facility
failed to report the possible neglect within the required time frames.
On [DATE] at 12:05 PM, the Weekend Supervisor RN E stated that after resident #2's death he called the
Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and the resident's family member to let them know that the resident
had expired but he confirmed he failed to mention that CPR had not been performed even though the
resident had an order for a Full Code. RN E stated he was aware that resident #2 was on hospice and
stated he felt it was inappropriate to attempt CPR due to the resident's declining state. He later
acknowledged that not following the physician's orders and the resident's wishes was neglect. RN E said
that looking back at the situation he would have called a code, performed CPR, and reported that LPN C
did not perform CPR as ordered to the ADON. He further confirmed he had previously received education
on reporting all abuse, neglect, misappropriation, or suspected criminal activity within 2 hours of the
occurrence regardless of whether the situation met the requirements for reporting.
On [DATE] at 2:00 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said that staff were supposed to report suspected
abuse or neglect to the Social Services Director who was the Abuse Coordinator, but when the Social
Services Director was not available, they could report to either the Nursing Home Administrator, Risk
Manager/ ADON, or to the DON. She confirmed the Weekend Supervisor, RN E, should have informed the
ADON, when he called her to report the death, that CPR had not been provided for resident #2 even
though there was an order for a full code. The DON said the expectation was for staff to report any
suspected abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of property per facility policies and procedures.
On [DATE] at 2:45 PM, the Social Service Director confirmed she was the facility's Abuse Coordinator. She
explained that resident #2 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital and the

hospice election form had been signed prior to his return on [DATE]. The Social Service Director stated
resident #2 remained a Full Code as per his family's wishes due to disagreements within the family about
making him a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR). The Social Service Director said that at the time of the resident's
passing, he was still a Full Code and therefore CPR should have been performed. The Social Service
Director validated that the nurses did not provide the care and services for the resident which was
considered neglect. She acknowledged RN E should have reported LPN C to her or the Administrator the
moment he realized the resident was a Full Code, and CPR was not performed.
Review of the facility's undated document with the policies and procedures Abuse/Neglect, neglect was
defined as harming the person in your care; either physically, mentally, or emotionally by failing to provide
needed care. It further stated that any allegations or suspicions of abuse or neglect must be reported
immediately and listed the ADON/Risk Manager, and the Abuse Coordinator/Social Service Director.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to honor the resident's/family's wishes and failed to follow the
physician's order to provide basic life support (BLS) and initiate Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for 1
of 6 residents reviewed for Advanced Directives, of a total sample of 8 residents, (#2).
On [DATE] at approximately 10:05 PM, resident #2 was found unresponsive in bed, not breathing by
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) D. The CNA notified Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C who evaluated the

stay. He's currently on .hospice services .continues as a full code status .
On [DATE] at 4:53 PM, a telephone interview was conducted with hospice RN F and Social Worker G who
saw resident #2 at the facility on [DATE]. The hospice staff explained they had extensive conversations with
resident #2's son and the Social Worker sent him the DNR form, and he was going to send it back to
hospice once the siblings agreed. RN F explained she sat down with the facility South Wing Unit Manager
and told her on [DATE], As of this movement he is a Full Code, and we must maintain code status until we
see the DNR. He can be on hospice and a Full Code. The hospice nurse indicated she had a serious
conversation as well with the son who requested some time to talk to his siblings.
On [DATE] at 5:03 PM, a telephone interview was conducted with resident #2's son who verified he was the
Power of Attorney (POA) and health care surrogate for his father. Resident #2's son said after his dad
returned to the facility from the hospital his condition was fragile. The son explained, I did not return the
facility's or hospice's calls because I was not comfortable signing the DNR due to 3 of the 5 siblings in his
family wanting resuscitation and 2 of them did not.
On [DATE] at 2:06 PM, Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) B documented a visit note that the
resident was on hospice and had Full Code status.
On [DATE] at 3:13 PM, APRN B said she last saw resident #2 on [DATE] and did not think he was dying.
She explained at that time his son was feeding him soup. The APRN said she was unable to comment and
needed further information from the facility,when she was asked about staff not providing CPR to resident
#2 when he had Full Code orders.
On [DATE] at 2:45 PM, in an interview with the Social Services Director and Social Services Assistant, the
assistant said she reviewed Advance Directives with the son who had POA for financial and health matters
after the resident returned from the hospital on [DATE]. She explained she talked to the son over the phone
on [DATE] and saw the resident as well who could not make his own decisions. She said she knew the
hospice staff was working with the son regarding obtaining the DNR, however he also had a large family,
and it was a family decision. The Social Services Director explained the process that once the hospice had
the DNR signed by the POA and the physician, they would email or fax a copy to the facility and then she
would immediately inform nursing staff of the resident's/family's wishes so they could be honored.
On [DATE] at 12:40 PM, a telephone interview was conducted with CNA D who worked on [DATE] on the 3
PM to 11 PM shift. She said she was not resident #2's usual CNA and recalled that earlier in her shift she
saw the resident had shallow breathing. She explained she checked on him every 30 minutes and had
asked LPN C about his breathing and was told, he is passing on. The CNA verified the last time she saw
the resident breathing was approximately 9:45 PM that night. She recalled that about 10:05 PM she
informed LPN C resident #2 had passed because he was no longer breathing at all. She remembered
resident #2 was still warm when she went to tell LPN C of what happened. She said she saw the nurse get
up and they both went into the resident's room. CNA D said she saw the nurse check for a pulse, take off
the oxygen nasal cannula and then go back to talk with the Supervisor. She did not see any of the other
nurses' rush into resident #2's room to provide assistance with CPR. She then saw LPN C and Supervisor
RN E at the nurses' station making phone calls. CNA D verified she had CPR

training and could have assisted with calling the code over facility intercom and 911 emergency services
had she been directed by the nurse.
On [DATE] LPN C documented, at 10:05 PM, the CNA had called to let her know that she thought resident
#2 had died. She wrote, Nurse went to room and find [resident #2] died. Shift supervisor called right away at
10:08, PCP [primary care provider] made aware at 10:15 PM. Son called at 10:20 PM. Hospice also called.
At this time, body still in bed waiting for final decision by family and hospice.
On [DATE] at 10:53 AM, a telephone interview was conducted with LPN C who was assigned to resident #2
on [DATE]. She explained she worked double shifts every weekend from 7 AM to 3 PM and 3 PM to 11 PM.
LPN C said she was not informed in the nursing report by the off going nurse that he was a Full Code. The
off-going nurse only said that he was not feeling well, slept most of the day and did not eat his lunch. During
her shift she went to his room, and he only took a couple of sips of nutritional shake that she offered. LPN C
said, CNA D told me at 10:05 PM the resident had passed away, he was not moving at all and seemed like
he expired. She recalled she then ran to the room with the blood pressure (BP) machine and verified he
had no BP, and no pulse in his arm or neck. LPN C said she then had RN E the supervisor come to the
resident's room at 10:08 PM and he told her, he's dead. LPN C said she did not check resident #2's code
status because her report sheet showed under code status he was hospice. She acknowledged she failed
to initiate CPR prior to getting supervisor RN E to come to the room. LPN C explained that even in a code
situation she would not call 911 until approved by supervisor because she was afraid of getting in trouble.
LPN C said she knew she was supposed to check the computer for the resident code status and did not
because the computer was slow, so she waited for the supervisor to come. LPN C denied any knowledge of
a book at the nurses' station that contained the residents' DNRO (Do Not Resuscitate Orders) nor did she
the check book to ascertain resident #2's code status. LPN C said while she was at the nurses' station she
called the physician, the family, hospice and the funeral home. She discovered resident #2 had Full Code
orders when she looked in the medical record and spoke to RN E about it. RN E told her since he was
already dead, they didn't have to do it. LPN C acknowledged she should have provided CPR and paged the
code over the facility phone, however she stated she still would not have called 911/emergency services
unless approved by the supervisor even in a code situation.
On [DATE] at 10:05 PM, RN E documented, Summoned to resident room. Resident has ceased to breathe.
HR [heartrate] 0. Resident pronounced dead at 10:05 PM. On call .made aware as well as ADON [Assistant
Director of Nursing] and .Hospice. Family notified of resident passing and verify funeral home
On [DATE] at 12:05 PM, a telephone interview was conducted with RN E who was the Weekend Supervisor
and usually worked from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays. RN E verified that on [DATE]
LPN C asked him to come to resident #2's room, between 10:00 to 10:10 PM while he was shredding
documents in the front office area near the lobby and not at the nurse's station. RN E said he had earbuds
in and could not hear anything until he took out his earbuds and LPN C said, resident #2 was dead. He then
went to the resident's room with LPN C and checked resident #2's respirations, apical (chest), and radial
(wrist) pulse and found there were none. RN E stated he verified resident #2 was deceased and he thought
he had been down for little bit. He explained he did not feel that it was appropriate for him to initiate CPR
since he was the 2nd nurse on the scene. He recalled he knew the DNR was in process for resident #2 with
hospice/family and did not think it was reasonable to put the resident through being resuscitated. RN E
stated he notified the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) via text message that resident #2 passed away
that night but did not inform her the resident had orders for Full Code and did not receive CPR. RN E said
he did not have any conversations with facility administration regarding resident #2 not getting CPR until
late yesterday afternoon. He was
