I went into his room to help her get him situated, although I was assigned to C hall. He was laying horizontal on his bed. His roommate R4 was screaming for Norco, but the nurse for that hall didn't show up. So, I told the Corporate Staff in the facility. V6 (former Director of Nursing), sent V7 (RN) over to give R4 his medications. V8 was the CNA on that hall. The rest of the patients on that hall did not get their medications either. V7 (RN) was over there around 3pm or 4pm because R4 had been putting on his call light since 2:30 PM for Norco. On [DATE] I went into R2's room he didn't have on oxygen, and the oxygen level was 74, and he had to be sent out to the hospital. On [DATE] at 11:15 AM V2 (Director of Nurses/DON) stated it depends on the resident and clinical condition. If the oxygen saturation is in the 80's, they should call the doctor, and if they are symptomatic, they should send them out right away. On [DATE] at 1:35 PM, V7 (RN) stated, I am familiar with (R2), but I do not normally work with him. On [DATE] I was working the C Hall, it was before 6:30 PM.

We did not know that no nurse was working the A hall until this happened. There was no nurse working the A hall when (R2) coded. On [DATE] at 10:02 AM, staffing schedules for [DATE] was requested. There were two nurses on the A Hall and B hall that were crossed off and V14 was documented, as a call off. The only nurse not crossed off on the schedules was documented as V7 (Registered Nurse/RN). V13, V15, V7 were the nurses documented as working after the cross outs on the form. On [DATE] at 1:30 PM V8 (Human Resources/CNA) stated, there were three nurses in the building, and they were to split A-hall. I don't know what rooms they were assigned. Around dinner time which is between 5:45 to 6 PM R2 ate a little because V9 (CNA) fed him. Around 6:30 PM I was collecting trays, I looked into R2's room and say he was unresponsive. I went into R2's room and rubbed his chest twice and then called his name out twice. I went out and I called V7 that was the first nurse I saw. V7 walked up to R2 and started CPR. It was noted that there were no meds passed on this A-hall and the nurses did not divide the hall and care for the 23 residents, there was CNAs that were caring for residents. On [DATE] at 9:00 AM V11 (Medical Director) stated, he (R2) had just returned from the hospital, and he should have been checked on frequently. The vital signs are important, but checking on him was most important, and it could have contributed to him coding.

The Facility Policy entitled notification of change of condition dated [DATE] documents, it is the responsibility of the charge nurse to notify the family, DON (Director of Nursing), and Physician of any change in resident condition.
