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, interview and record review the facility failed to provide lifesaving equipment for emergency
airway management, for a resident in cardiac and respiratory arrest. This failure affected one of 18
residents (R1) reviewed for advanced directives and has the potential to affect all 72 residents residing in
the facility. R1 subsequently expired.
The Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] when R1 was found to have no pulse or respirations and
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) was initiated. Staff could not locate a functional bag valve mask
(BVM) mask to provide a full seal over R1's nose and mouth, in order to provide effective ventilation during
the medical emergency. V1, Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] at 1:58 pm.
The surveyor confirmed by interview and record review that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on
[DATE], but noncompliance remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the
implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training.
Findings include:
R1's Physician Order for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form dated [DATE] documents R1 wished to
have Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), full treatment with the primary goal of sustaining life.
R1's Diagnoses Sheet updated [DATE] documents the following: Unspecified Asthma, Uncomplicated,
Hypertensive Heart Disease Without Heart Failure and Age-Related Osteoporosis with Current Pathological
Fracture, Unspecified Site, Initial Encounter for Fracture ([DATE]).
R1's re-admission Summary note dated [DATE] documents R1 returned from the hospital after right hip
surgical repair.
R1's Health Status Note [DATE] at 4:19 pm documents: R1 was found to have no pulse or respirations,
CPR was initiated by facility staff, and 911, Emergency Medical Service (EMS) was called.
R1's Death Certificate dated [DATE] document R1's cause of death included: Asthma, Dementia and
Schizophrenia.
The facility handwritten CPR time line notes, documents R1 was lowered to the floor (from bed) at 3:33 pm.
At 3:34 pm alternating facility staff V11, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN),V2, Director of Nursing, V18,
Resident Care Coordinator preformed eight cycles of chest compressions. The same time line documents
V12, Licensed Practical Nurse provided manual ventilation (with no BVM mask as documented below) for
the duration of the facility staff provision of CPR. According to the same time line,

EMS arrived at 3:41 pm and took over R1's CPR. EMT's (V15 and V16) and provided R1 with three cycles
of CPR and completed a three lead ECG.
R1's Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Report, written by V14, Lead Paramedic, dated [DATE] documents
EMS was notified at 3:37 pm and arrived at the patient at 3:39 pm, and departed the facility at 3:58 pm. The
report further documents: Upon Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) arrival, R1 was laying on the ground
unresponsive, pulseless, and apneic (not breathing) with facility staff providing CPR (by facility timeline
above, seven minute duration). The EMT's report also documents R1 was cyanotic (blueish - purple
discoloration of the skin caused by low levels of oxygen in the blood). EMT's applied a cardiac monitor
(ECG) electrocardiogram leads, to measure the electrical activity of R1's heart. R1's ECG reading displayed
R1's heart entirely stopped beating (Asystole). V14, Lead Paramedic called the local hospital, and gave
report of R1's assessment as documented. V17, Physician confirmed R1's ECG monitor reading of
Asystole, indicated R1's had already deceased . V17 gave the order to cease CPR.
On [DATE] at 10:37 am V14, Lead Paramedic on the scene, stated V12, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
was providing ventilation using a handheld manual Ambu-bag for resuscitation without a required BVM
mask, which did not provide an adequate seal over R1's mouth and nose. V14 said V12, LPN was holding
the oxygen tube in R1's mouth without the benefit of a BVM mask complete seal. V14 said R1's manual
ventilation with an Ambu bag and no BVM mask during CPR, was inadequate for resuscitation. V14 stated
a BVM mask is required for life- sustaining ventilation during CPR therefore, R1 did not have adequate life
sustaining ventilation during CPR, which lead to R1's death.
On [DATE] at 11:05 am V12, LPN confirmed he did not have any kind of a mask on R1 to provide R1's
ventilation with the manual Ambu bag. V12, LPN said he used one hand to hold the oxygen tube in R1's
mouth and tried to cover R1's nose with the same hand, while he squeezed the Ambu bag with his other
hand. V12, LPN said V12, LPN was not able to find a mask on the emergency crash cart.
On [DATE] at 11:18 pm V10, Physician/Medical Director (MD) confirmed he spoke to V1, Administrator on
[DATE] and told V1 to continue to CPR on (R1) until the paramedics arrived and ran a strip (ECG). V10
confirmed V14, Lead Paramedic had given this surveyor accurate information regarding the necessity to
use a BVM, in order to maintain a complete seal when ventilating a patient in cardiac arrest. V10 MD
stated, R1's ventilation would not be adequate life-sustaining ventilation during CPR if the staff did not use
a BVM with the Ambu bag during resuscitation.
On [DATE] at 12:10 pm V12, LPN and this surveyor reviewed the contents of the crash cart. There was a
new Ambu bag still in a plastic bag. There was one mask to attached to the Ambu-bag for resuscitation,
also in the manufacturer plastic bag. V12, LPN stated, Those are brand new. There were not mask in here
(emergency crash cart), I swear. I did the best I could (providing R1 ventilation during CPR, [DATE]) without
the mask.
On [DATE] 12:15 pm at V11, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) confirmed she was R1's nurse that initiated
R1's CPR. V11, LPN stated V11 provided chest compression on R1 during CPR and V12, Licensed
Practical Nurse provided ventilation. V11, LPN stated, I remember distinctly (V12, LPN) holding the oxygen
tube in (R1's) mouth, while using his other hand to manage the Ambu bag. (V12, LPN) did not have a mask
on (R1) during resuscitation and did not have his hand over (R1's) nose, at all.
On [DATE] at 2:15 pm V2, Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I am the one who told (V13 LPN) to go get a
new mask. The mask she gave me was broken. I was standing by to relieve (V11, LPN), who was

the Ambu bag with the other. I was not watching for (R1's) chest to rise and fall. I was more concerned with
switching places with (V11, LPN) on compressions (chest).
On [DATE] at 2:10 pm V13, LPN stated, I got the Ambu bag out of the storage bag. (facility started of CPR
at 3:34 pm, per the facility timeline above). I was separating the Ambu bag so we could fill it up with oxygen.
The mask (BVM) was in the storage bag and was broke. (V2, DON) sent me to get a new one (BVM), while

but healing well.
On 12/12/24 at 11:35 am V2, Director of Nursing stated R2 fell 12/04/24 and that is what her arm bruises
are from. R2 had a facial bruise, she was sent to the hospital, and returned to the facility the same day after
an 11/19/24 fall.
2. R3's Diagnoses Sheet dated 7/10/24 documents the following: Quadriplegia Unspecified, and

R3's A.I.M. For Wellness- Event Record dated 12/9/2024 documents the following: Note Text: Event Details:
(R3) appears to have experienced an alleged Intentional Change in Plane; R3 was being assisted away
from exit door in his wheelchair. R3 continued down the hall, propelling R3's wheelchair, then leaned
forward and tumbled out of chair on to floor hitting head.
R3's Care Plan updated 12/09/24 documents R1 has had falls on 12/9/24 with an interventions follows:
12/09/24-IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) note; Resident agitated, fidgeting in wheelchair and slid out of
wheelchair. I (intervention) Pressure alarm placed in wheelchair until self-releasing seatbelt arrives
(ordered).
On 12/12/24 at 12:35 pm V8, R3's Family Member stated R3 has had about nine falls since his April 2024
admission. R3 has had to go out to the hospital twice. Fortunately, R3 has not fractured anything.
On 12/12/24 at 2:30 pm V11, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, He (R3) has had a mattress on his
floor next to his bed for as long as I remember. Almost every morning I come in; he is on the mattress at the
side of his bed. We do not document it as a fall when he rolls out of bed. We don't do a fall report at all
when he does that. Yes, it is a change in plan. We were told it is care planned for him to be on the mattress.
He gets fidgety and ends up there.
On 12/12/24 at 3:15 pm R3 was lying in bed with his bed alarm pad under him and the volume box
attached to quarter side rail. A full size twin mattress was on the floor. V25, Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) removed the mattress from the floor and placed at the foot of R3's bed in preparation to transfer R3
to R3's wheelchair.
On 12/12/24 at 3:18 pm V8, R3's Family Member stated V8 is in the facility every day. V8 said she had
never been told in care plan meetings, or otherwise, that R3 had rolled out of bed.

off the bed onto the mattress on the floor. We have been told we don't need to do vitals because it is not a
fall and (R3) is care planned to do that. V25 said, It made more sense to transfer (R3's) alarm from his bed
to the chair. That is where he likes to be. He propels his wheelchair

himself and that alarm alerts us if he tries to get up. I figured (V24, PTA) knew more about the alarm then I
did.
On 12/12/24 at 4:40 pm V26, Registered Nurse (RN) stated Almost every morning I work, (R3) ends up
being on that mattress at the side of his bed. I come in at 6:00 am. Sometimes, he is in bed, but by the time
I pass meds he is on the mattress on the floor. I have been told though he has a change in elevation when
he rolls out of bed. The mattress prevents him from getting hurt. We have been told, it is not considered a
fall, so we don't have to do a fall note, neuro (neurological assessment) or vitals. (V2, Director of Nursing)
distinctly said he (R3) is care planned for rolling onto the floor mattress, so it does not warrant a report.
On 12/12/24 at 4:50 pm V2, Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged R3 rolling out of bed onto the
mattress bed side, is a change in plane. V2, DON stated, (R3) consistently does that. We would be doing
fall investigations every day on him (R3). We do not consider R3 rolling out of his bed a fall, so I have no fall
investigations in Risk (electronic medical records). Since we don't consider those falls, we have not
reported them to the doctor or (V8, R3's Family Member).
The facility policy Fall Preventions dated 11/10/2018 documents the following: Policy:
To provide for resident safety and to minimize injuries related to falls; decrease falls and still honor each
resident's wishes/desires for maximum independence and mobility.
Responsibility:
All staff
Procedure:
5.
Immediately after any resident fall the unit nurse will assess the resident and provide any care or treatment
needed for the resident. A fall huddle will be conducted with staff on duty to help identify circumstances of
the event and appropriate interventions.
6.
The unit nurse will place documentation of the circumstances of a fall in the nurses notes or on an AIM for
Wellness form along with any new intervention deemed to be appropriate at the time. The unit nurse will
also place any new intervention on the CNA assignment worksheet.
7.
Report all falls during the morning Quality Assurance meetings Monday through Friday. All falls will be
discussed in the Morning Quality Assurance meeting and any new interventions will be written on the care
plan.
