I was called by LPN A to the room. I called 911 at about 4:50 AM. The EMT's arrived but were not able to revive the resident. Law Enforcement was also on the unit. The Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) was notified about the above issue. The ARNP also spoke to Law Enforcement over the phone to review the case. Attempted to reach both of resident #1's family members - no answer. Left messages on both contacts' voicemails. The Director of Nursing (DON) and Administrator were notified. On [DATE] at 11:50 AM, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The DON explained she was made aware of this incident on [DATE]. She acknowledged the resident with full code orders was found unresponsive without vital signs and CPR was not provided by the two nurses, LPN A and RN B. This is not in compliance with the facility's Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Policy.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety E stated, It was a poor decision for the nurses not to provide CPR to a resident who was a Full Code. She should have had CPR performed when she was found unresponsive. On [DATE] at 11:30 AM, during a telephone interview, the facility's Medical Director stated he was made aware of that resident #1 had not received CPR despite orders for full code. He added, resident #1 should have received CPR when she was found unresponsive.

She recalled at approximately 4:40 AM, she returned from break and CNA C informed her the resident was not responding. LPN A said she immediately went to the resident's room and checked her blood pressure, heart rate and respirations which were absent. She remembered she yelled out for help then obtained resident #1's medical record that noted she was a Full Code. She said, this meant you are to perform CPR. She indicated she told the RN Supervisor B that resident #1 was unresponsive and she was a Full Code. She stated she retrieved the crash cart and as she neared the resident's room, RN Supervisor B stopped her and said, she is already gone. LPN A said she again told the RN Supervisor B the resident was a full code and they needed to do CPR. She recalled RN B was standing in the doorway to the resident's room, put her hand up as if to stop her from entering the room and again stated, she is already gone. LPN A said she called the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) by phone to explain the situation and was told me to override the RN Supervisor B and start CPR. When I returned to the room I saw Law Enforcement in the room and it was too late for me to start CPR. LPN A said she knew the resident was a full code and CPR should have been started but as an LPN, she took directions from the RN. I should have started CPR and I didn't. On [DATE] at 12:35 PM, during a telephone interview, RN Supervisor B revealed she was the Nursing Supervisor working on the 11:00 PM-7:00 AM shift on [DATE]. She recalled on [DATE], she covered for LPN A when she went on break. She said as LPN A returned to the unit, CNA C informed the LPN that resident #1 was unresponsive. She remembered LPN A immediately went to the resident's room and informed her the resident was unresponsive and was a Full Code. I was at the unit nurses station at the time and checked the medical record and verified that CPR was to be initiated. I went to the resident's room and the resident did not have pulse or respirations. I then left the room, called 911 and remained at the nurses station to get the paperwork ready for the resident's transfer to the hospital. Law Enforcement and EMS arrived at the facility and were in the resident's room but I did not know if she could be revived. I know I should have been in the room doing CPR or instructed LPN A to begin CPR but I did not do it. RN Supervisor B spoke about why she did not initiate CPR as she should have. She said she did not want the resident to die but she knew how much she had been suffering. She used to be a feisty lady. She said she knew they would have to do chest compressions and possibly fracture some ribs. The RN Supervisor said she had not participated in a CPR drill while working at the facility. On [DATE] at 8:30 PM, during a telephone interview with resident #1's family, the son-in-law stated that Law Enforcement came to their home and gave them a telephone number to call. He said when he called the facility he spoke to the ADON and was told that his mother in law had died on [DATE] at 4:56 AM. I was told the RN had found her dead and EMS was in the facility to pronounce her death. The son-in-law explained that even though she was [AGE] years old, they wanted her to be resuscitated. We wanted everything done like CPR and being sent to the hospital. The facility never explained to us what actually happened on [DATE]. We are very upset about her death.

I was at the unit nurses station at the time and checked the medical record and verified that CPR was to be initiated. I went to the resident's room and the resident did not have pulse or respirations. I then left the room, called 911 and remained at the nurses station to get the paperwork ready for the resident's transfer to the hospital. Law Enforcement and EMS arrived at the facility and were in the resident's room but I did not know if she could be revived. I know I should have been in the room doing CPR or instructed LPN A to begin CPR but I did not do it. RN Supervisor B spoke about why she did not initiate CPR as she should have.
