Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to immediately transport one resident with an acute
change in medical condition. This affected one of three residents (R1) reviewed for change in condition.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 10/19/24 at 11:20 AM, V5 (Nurse) stated that the nurse is responsible for obtaining the resident's vital
signs. V5 stated that if there is a change in the resident's condition, the nurse calls the physician and sees
what he wants to do. V5 stated that if the physician is unavailable then the nurse is expected to contact V2
DON (Director of Nursing) for further instruction; if unavailable calls V4 ADON (Assistant Director of
Nursing). V5 stated that if V4 is unavailable, the nurse calls the supervisor. V5 stated that if unable to reach
anyone, then calls EMS (Emergency Medical Services) 911 to transport the resident to the hospital. V5
stated that if the resident is not stable, including but not limited to, abnormal vital signs, new onset seizure,
V5 would call EMS 911 immediately prior to attempting to contact physician.
On 10/21/24 at 11:54 AM, V7 (Nurse) stated that 8/15/24 was the first time V7 provided care for R1. V7
stated that R1 appeared to look okay when V7 rounded on him in the morning. V7 stated that when V7
rounded on R1 in the afternoon, R1 appeared to be warm and shivering; not how he appeared earlier that
day. V7 stated that V7 asked other staff how R1 was normally and was informed this was not his baseline.
V7 stated that V7 sent a communication to V9 NP (Nurse Practitioner) regarding R1's change in condition.
V7 stated that R1's blood pressure was low and heart rate slightly elevated at 103 beats/minute. V7 stated
that V7 requested an order to administer intravenous fluids for R1's low blood pressure. V7 stated that V9
did not want to administer fluids due to possible fluid overload. V7 stated that R1's oxygen saturation level
was 90% on room air so she applied oxygen at 3 liters per nasal cannula. V7 stated that V9 ordered
antibiotic medication to be given intramuscularly. V7 stated that R1's oxygen level would not improve on the
oxygen and R1 did not appear stable. V7 stated that she does not recall if R1 was sent to the hospital via
EMS 911 or by outside ambulance company.
On 10/21/24 at 1:13 PM, V9 NP (Nurse Practitioner) stated that V9 was not aware that R1's potassium level
on 8/9/24 was 2.8 (normal range 3.6 - 5). V9 stated that V9 was present at this facility on 8/15/24 in the
afternoon for routine rounding on residents. V9 stated that when V9 arrived on R1's nursing unit, V9 was
informed to check on R1 because he did not look good. V9 stated that V9 assessed R1 and ordered urgent
laboratory testing to be done. V9 stated that R1 is normally alert and communicative. V9 stated that R1's
oxygen saturation level was 90% so V9 applied oxygen at 3 liters per nasal cannula. V9 stated that V9 did
not send R1 to the hospital via EMS 911 because R1 was stable after V9 applied oxygen. V9 stated that
R1's oxygen level improved to 95% or higher and remained stable until transported to hospital.

R1's medical record, dated 8/9/24, notes R1's laboratory results of CBC (Complete Blood Count) and CMP
(Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) urgent related to chills placed in the file on second floor, awaiting V9
NP's reply.
On 8/10/24 at 3:18 PM, V9 NP noted laboratory results reviewed CBC and CMP- some abnormal results,
R1 remains at baseline. To repeat CBC and CMP on Tuesday 8/13/2024.
R1's laboratory results, dated 8/9/24, noted Potassium Level 2.8 (normal range 3.6 - 5).
V9's progress note, dated 8/15/24, notes R1 seen for acute visit and review of chronic conditions. R1 seen
in room in bed, alert but slow to respond, moaning, skin cool and clammy. R1 with periods of hypoxia (low
oxygen level) and tachycardia (increased heart rate), heart rate irregular, oxygen started at 3 liters per
nasal cannula, head of bed elevated to 90 degrees, acetaminophen suppository given, antibiotic given
intramuscularly. R1 with increased lethargic symptoms with hypoxia even with oxygen, transferred to the
