**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to provide evidence an event was thoroughly investigated in
a timely manner, when oxygen tubing was found dislodged from the resident, for 1 of 1 resident
investigated for respiratory care (Resident #1).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He was discharged from the facility to the hospital on
[DATE].
Resident #1 had a medical history significant for Respiratory Failure, Tracheostomy and Ventilator
Dependent, Spina Bifida, Scoliosis, and Failure to Thrive.
A Discharge Return Anticipated Minimum Data Set (MDS) was completed on 10/17/23. A Quarterly MDS
was done on 07/31/23. This MDS documented Resident #1 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status score of
15, which indicates he was cognitively intact. This MDS documented Resident #1 was verbal and able to
make himself understood. This MDS documented he was totally dependent on staff for his activities of daily
living.
Review of Care Plans revealed a care plan was written regarding ventilator dependent related to
quadriplegia, respiratory failure. The written Interventions included the following: assess Level of
Consciousness, cyanosis; call bell within reach; maintain spare trach at the bedside; maintain ventilator
settings as ordered; observe for indications of tube obstruction; pulse ox readings every shift or more
frequently as needed; observe skin color and capillary refill-notify MD of significant abnormalities or
changes from baseline.
On the evening of 10/17/23, Resident #1 was found unresponsive in his room. Based on witness

facility at around 6:19 PM and asked Staff A, Registered Nurse (RN) to check on Resident #1 in his room.
Staff A reported to Resident #1's room and found him to be unresponsive. Staff A left the room to request
assistance from Staff B, Respiratory Therapist (RT) and Staff E, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).
According to Staff B's timeline, he had assessed the patient & gave last [breathing] treatment (Sodium
Chloride) at 6:15 PM. According to Staff B's witness statement, on Tuesday evening around 6:20 PM, I was
notified by [Staff A] to doublecheck [Resident #1] due to some noise it was making. Instantly I rush to the
room and found that the vent indicated low minute volume and the patient HR [heart rate] & FIO2 [oxygen
level] went down. I quickly assessed the patient and realized that the adaptor

Residents Affected - Few
An interview was conducted with the facility's Risk Manager on 11/20/23 at 11:23 AM. She stated she was
out of town during the week of the event and that she did not begin her investigation until she returned to
the facility on [DATE]. When asked if she had reviewed the nursing notes during her investigation, she
stated she, as the risk manager, does not review notes during her investigation, that it is the Director of
Nursing's responsibility to conduct a clinical investigation. She stated when she returned to work following
the event, she received notes and statements that had been collected by the facility's Administrator
following the event. She recalled a [NAME] County [NAME] Officer (BSO) notified the facility that Resident
#1 had passed away while at the hospital.
An interview was conducted with the facility's Administrator on 11/20/23 at 11:29 AM. She stated her
investigation included collecting witness statements and timelines from the beginning of the shift on
10/17/23. She said in her investigation, she decided to send the pulse ox machine and ventilator back to the
companies for event traces to be downloaded. She said this would assist her in finding out if there was a
machine malfunction. However, at the time of this survey, 11/20/23, she had not received this information
from either company. She stated this was why her investigation was ongoing.
An interview was conducted with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/20/23 at 2:27 PM. She
stated she was new to the facility and that she started after Resident #1's event. She stated the previous
DON had done a partial investigation and that she had continued with her own investigation of the event.
She stated that she had conducted in-services with the staff and that a drill had been done with the staff as
well. The surveyor asked her if any mock code drills had been done with the staff and she said yes, one
mock code had been done. When asked if she felt that one mock code drill in a month since the incident
was sufficient for the staff, she stated, no and then also said it's a work in progress.
An interview was conducted with the facility's Administrator on 11/20/23 at 2:30 PM. She stated the
previous DON had conducted a table-talk type of in-service with the staff the day following the event. She
stated they initially were waiting for Resident #1 to return to the facility but that on 10/24/23, a Child
Protective Services investigator and a [NAME] County [NAME] arrived at the facility to conduct an
investigation. She stated, I wasn't even going to report it to AHCA until they arrived, then I figured AHCA
would want to know. She stated the ventilator went with Resident #1 to the hospital and she was unable to
retrieve the ventilator from the hospital until 10/27/23. She said that she then contacted the ventilator
company to have the data analyzed. When asked if a Root Cause Analysis was completed, she stated the
surveyors would have to talk to the Risk Manager who had already left the facility for the day. She stated
that herself, the Risk Manager, the current and the previous DONs, and the Medical Director had all
performed investigations regarding this event along with the Child Protective Services investigator and the
[NAME] County [NAME]. The surveyor explained that the concern was that so many investigations were
being conducted but that none had been completed and none had concluded what the root cause of the
event was. When asked if she could provide the investigations conducted by the others, she did not
respond.
A telephone interview was conducted with the facility's Risk Manager on 11/20/23 at 4:14 PM. She
