What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 3 deficiencies, 3 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to notify the physician of a resident's change of condition. This applies to 1 of 12 residents (R2) reviewed for advanced directives in a sample of 14. This failure resulted in a potentially avoidable death when R2's change in condition was not addressed and R2 expired unexpectedly. Findings include: R2's Face Sheet dated [DATE] identified R2 as a [AGE] year-old admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include Rhabdomyolysis and DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis). On [DATE] at 12:50 PM V12 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated around 8:20 PM [DATE] R2 was moaning and groaning like she was in pain and was breathing abnormal when she was moved. V12 stated she couldn't stand as she could the previously when V12 cared for her and V7 (Agency Licensed Practical Nurse) was informed that something was wrong. On [DATE] at 12:33 PM V4 (Registered Nurse Manager) stated a voicemail was left for V2 (Director of Nursing) by V7 on [DATE] at 8:25 PM. V4 stated she is covering while V2 is on vacation, therefore, V2 forwarded the voicemail to V4. V4 replayed the voicemail for the surveyor and the message heard included .(R2's) breathing was not stable .I do not know what to do V4 stated she called V7 at 8:35 PM and instructed V7 to contact V3 (Medical Director) for further instructions to address R2's shortness of breath. V4 stated she became aware the next morning V7 did not contact V3 as instructed. On [DATE] at 11:52 AM V6 (Agency Registered Nurse) stated, when she arrived to begin her shift on [DATE] at approximately 7:35 AM, V7 reported to her that R2 had expired at 7:10 AM. V6 stated V7 also reported around 8:30 PM on [DATE] R2 was short of breath, and she provided R2 a pain pill which seemed to help. On [DATE] V3 (Medical Director) stated he had reviewed R2's history and confirmed R2 was [AGE] years old with no apparent prior significant medical history, a full code status, and was living at home independently prior to her [DATE] hospitalization for DVT and Rhabdomyolysis. V3 stated the night before R2 passed, she was having difficulty breathing and the agency nurse was instructed by a facility nurse manager to call him, and the agency nurse did not. V3 stated, Unfortunately they didn't call me. I would have sent her to ED (Emergency Department). They would have completed a cardiac work-up and evaluated her symptoms. She had a DVT in the leg and it could have been a pulmonary embolus .One thing I do know is they should have called me. V3 confirmed R2's death was potentially avoidable, further stating, Yes, calling me to report her breathing the night before as instructed .could have (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0600 Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to keep a resident free from neglect when they failed to notify the physician of a change in condition, provide medications as ordered, and initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This applies to 1 of 12 residents (R2) reviewed for advanced directives in a sample of 14. This failure resulted in a potentially avoidable death when R2's change in condition was not addressed. R2 was later observed unresponsive and resuscitation and/or emergency interventions were not initiated. Findings include: R2's Face Sheet dated [DATE] identified R2 as a [AGE] year-old admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include Rhabdomyolysis and DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis). The Department of Public Health Practitioner Ordered for Life Sustaining Treatment Form (POLST), completed [DATE], documents R2 as a full code. R2's Hospital Discharge Instructions [DATE] documents R2 to receive Eliquis 10 milligrams twice daily for 7 days. R2's [DATE] EMAR (Administration Record) documents R2 did not receive Eliquis 10 milligrams on [DATE] at 4 PM and [DATE] at 8 AM and 4 PM. On [DATE] at 9:45 AM V2 (Director of Nurses) confirmed R2 did not receive her Eliquis as ordered for the treatment of her DVT and should have. V2 stated the first dose she received after admission was the morning of [DATE]. On [DATE] at 12:50 PM V12 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated around 8:20 PM [DATE] R2 was moaning and groaning like she was in pain and was breathing abnormal when she was moved. V12 stated she couldn't stand as she could previously when V12 cared for her and V7 (Agency Licensed Practical Nurse) was informed that something was wrong. On [DATE] at 12:33 PM V4 (Registered Nurse Manager) stated a voicemail was left for V2 (Director of Nursing) by V7 on [DATE] at 8:25 PM.

V4 stated she became aware the next morning V7 did not contact V3 as instructed. On [DATE] at 12:48 PM V8 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated on [DATE], shortly after 7 AM, she went into R2's room and noted R2 was not breathing and immediately alerted V7. V8 stated V7 responded to the room, assessed R2, but did not start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). On [DATE] at 11:52 AM V6 (Agency Registered Nurse) stated, when she arrived to begin her shift on [DATE] at approximately 7:35 AM, V7 reported to her that R2 had expired at 7:10 AM. V6 stated she assessed R2 who was cold and was past resuscitation efforts.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few R2's Nursing Notes dated [DATE], completed by V6, document, Received report from night nurse at 7:35 AM that resident expired in bed at 7:10 AM. Verified death at 7:45 AM, no respirations, no pulse, no BP (blood pressure). Notified MD (physician) of resident death that resident expired at 7:50 AM. On [DATE] V3 (Medical Director) stated he had reviewed R2's history and confirmed R2 was [AGE] years old with no apparent prior significant medical history, a full code status, and was living at home independently prior to her [DATE] hospitalization for DVT and Rhabdomyolysis. V3 stated the night before R2 passed, she was having difficulty breathing and the agency nurse was instructed by a facility nurse manager to call him, and the agency nurse did not. V3 stated, Unfortunately they didn't call me. I would have sent her to ED (Emergency Department). They would have completed a cardiac work-up and evaluated her symptoms. She had a DVT in the leg and it could have been a pulmonary embolus. Did the nurse really give her Eliquis? If they did, it was likely not a clot. Who knows? One thing I do know is they should have called me. V3 stated he was aware an agency nurse then failed to initiate CPR when R2 was found expired in bed on [DATE]. V3 stated he expects the nurses to initiate CPR if a resident is a full code status. V3 confirmed R2's death was potentially avoidable, further stating, Yes, calling me to report her breathing the night before as instructed and implementing CPR could have potentially changed the outcome. My job is to take care of my patients. They did not give me the opportunity to care for her. I cannot say she would have lived, but ED would have evaluated her and if they found something, treated it . R2's [DATE] EMAR (Administration Record) documents R2 received oxycodone-acetaminophen 10-325, 1 tablet, [DATE] at 8:48 PM. The facility's code blue policy dated 01/2023 documents, The Procedure: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Code Blue policy documents if an individual is found unresponsive and not breathing the staff member who is certified in CPR shall initiate CPR. The chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest may be increased if CPR is initiated immediately upon collapse. The policy Change in Resident's Condition or Status dated 2/2022 documents the facility shall promptly notify the residents healthcare provider of changes in the resident's medical condition or change in status. The facility Abuse Prevention policy dated 6/2020 documents the failure of the community, its employees or service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, mental anguish or emotional distress. The community's goal is to achieve and maintain an abuse free environment. As part of the resident abuse prevention program, the administration will provide a safe resident environment and protect the residents from abuse by anyone including, but not limited to community associates, other residents, consultants, volunteers, associates from other agencies, family members, legal representatives, friends, visitors, or any other individual.

F 0678 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Many 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 interview and record review the facility failed to initiate CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) for a resident (R2) with full code status. The facility also failed to have a system in place to ensure that Advance Directives were accurate and complete (R1, R5, R11, R12). These failures resulted in R2 not receiving CPR as desired; and R1 being sent to the hospital, intubated, and later compassionately extubated at the hospital. These failures have the potential to affect all 22 residents residing in the facility. Findings include: These failures resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. The Immediate Jeopardy was noted to begin on [DATE] when the facility failed to initiate CPR for R2. V1 (Administrator) was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] at 11:45 AM. The surveyor confirmed by observation, record review, and interview that the immediacy was removed on [DATE]. Although the immediacy was removed on [DATE], the facility remains out of compliance at Severity Level II because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the plan of correction, including the in-servicing of staff, the completion/accuracy of all resident Advance Directives, review of policies and Quality Assurance monitoring. The [DATE] Facility Data Sheet showed 22 residents reside at the facility. 1. R2's Face Sheet dated [DATE] identified R2 as a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include Rhabdomyolysis and DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis). The Department of Public Health Practitioner Ordered for Life Sustaining Treatment Form (POLST), completed [DATE], documents R2 as a full code.

Verified death at 7:45 AM, no respirations, no pulse, no BP (blood pressure). Notified MD (physician) of resident death that resident expired at 7:50 AM. On [DATE] at 12:48 PM, V8 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated around 6 AM on [DATE] she observed R2 in her bed without any concerns, asleep and breathing. V8 stated sometime shortly after 7 AM she went back into R2's room and she noted R2 was not breathing. V8 stated R2 was newly admitted , and she was not aware of her code status, so she immediately alerted V7 (Agency Licensed Practical Nurse), also requesting V7 to check the code status. V8 stated V7 responded to the room, assessed R2, but did not start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) so she assumed R2 was a DNR. On [DATE] at 11:52 AM, V6 (Agency Nurse) stated, when she arrived to begin her shift on [DATE], V7 (Agency Nurse) reported to her that R2 had expired at 7:10 AM. On [DATE] 10:59 AM, V3 (Medical Director) stated he had reviewed R2's history and confirmed R2 was a [AGE] year-old with no apparent prior significant medical history, a full code status, and was living at home independently prior to her [DATE] hospitalization for DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and Rhabdomyolysis.

The chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest may be increased if CPR is initiated immediately upon collapse. Residents Affected - Many The facility Serious Injury and Communicable Disease Report dated [DATE] documents at 7AM R2 was found unresponsive and not breathing. The investigation determined R2 was a full code status and CPR was not administered. 2. R1's Face Sheet dated [DATE] documents R1 as a [AGE] year-old admitted to the facility on this date at 9:42 PM with diagnoses to include herpes viral disease. R1's emergency contact is listed as V9 (R1's Daughter). R1's [DATE] Physician Ordered Sheet shows R1 with a Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNR/do no attempt CPR) dated [DATE]. On [DATE] at 9:20 AM, V4 (Registered Nurse Manager) stated on [DATE] she provided R1 medications at approximately 8:30 AM and R1 was talking and had no identified change. Approximately an hour later R1 was not responding but was breathing and had a pulse; 911 was called. During this event V4 was unable to locate R1's POLST form but there was a physician order in the electronic medical record (EMR) indicating R1 was a DNR. V4 stated without the POLST form the resident is always a full code and considered without advanced directives so the DNR order was not honored. V4 contacted R1's family who stated R1 was a DNR. A final Serious Injury and Communicable Disease Form dated [DATE] documents R1 was found unresponsive but was breathing and had a pulse. This form documents a POLST form could not be located and V9 (R1's Power of Attorney/POA) was contacted and confirmed R1's code status as no intubation or CPR; R1 was transferred to the hospital due to not having a POLST form. R1 was intubated at the hospital where she expired later that day. The facility investigation identified the POLST form had not been completed after admission on [DATE]. R1's Initial Emergency Department (ED) History and Physical dated [DATE] at 10:22 AM documents R1 with respiratory arrest and arriving in the emergency room biting at her intubation tube which was placed by emergency medical personnel prior to arriving to the ED. This report shows R1 was found with bradycardia (slow heart rate) and liver shock. R1's ED Triage Notes [DATE] at 10:13 AM show R1 arrived in the ED in respiratory distress, breathing over the intubation tube and fighting the placement of the tube. R1's Social Service/Case Manager Note, dated [DATE] at 12:27 PM, completed by V10 (Hospital Social Worker), documents V9 as R1's POA. This note documents V9 reporting to V10 on the phone, a DNR had been done previously at another hospital, but it was unsigned by the physician (invalid). V9 stated R1 was not supposed to be intubated. V10 made V9 aware that R1 was currently intubated, and V9 stated no treatment was to be discontinued until V9 arrived at the hospital to assess R1. V9 provided V10 with direction to include R1 was not to receive CPR and was to be provided comfort treatment only. V10 initiated the DNR per V9's wishes, had the physician sign and the advanced directive was implemented after the phone conversation.

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety The ED Notes Addendum [DATE] at 4:47 PM documents R1 expired at 4:38 PM. Residents Affected - Many On [DATE] at 10:27 AM, V5 (Social Service Director) states upon admission the admitting nurse is to clarify advance directive status and V5 then additionally meets with resident and/or family to verify and discuss their advanced directive wishes. V5 stated R1 arrived at the facility on [DATE] late in the evening and V5 was busy on 10/26-27/2023 and unable to find time to meet with R1 and/or family to review R1's advanced directive status. V5 stated it is facility policy that all residents are a full code until a completed, signed POLST form is received. On [DATE] 10:45 AM, V5 further stated, advanced directives are completed within the first 24 hours except weekends, in which V5 then follows-up on the following Monday. V5 stated she is responsible to follow up with the resident's physician to obtain a signature to activate the POLST form. V5 verified on weekends no staff are available at the facility to finalize advanced directives. V5 stated she educates the resident and family at the time of completion of the POLST that it will not be in effect until the physician signs. [DATE] at 10:59 AM, V3 (Medical Director) stated he was aware R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and her advanced directives were not obtained timely after her admission. V3 stated on [DATE] R1 was noted unresponsive, and the facility did not have her POLST form showing her as a DNR. V3 stated when the facility called him, he instructed them to send R1 to the emergency department (ED) and R1 was intubated. V3 stated he spoke with R1's family at the hospital and they were upset she had been intubated. V3 stated after further discussions in the ED, R1's family decided to extubate her where she passed away shortly after. V3 confirmed that the facility should have advanced directives put in place timely so R1's wishes (DNR) could have been addressed at the time she had a change in condition. V3 stated, Yes, she would have had a more peaceful death had she remained at the facility as a DNR status. V3 confirmed if her advanced directives had been in place R1 would not have experienced the trauma from insertion of the intubation tube, hospital transfer, and unnecessary treatments. 3.

The policy Advanced Directives dated 3/2023 states it is the policy of the facility to inform residents/residents representatives about Advanced Directives to assist those who wish to complete advanced directives, honor choices identified in the advanced directives and to maintain records of advanced directives. Upon admission, the resident will be provided with information concerning the right to refuse or accept treatment and to formulate an advanced directive if he or she chooses to do so. If the resident is incapacitated and unable to receive information about his or her right to formulate an advanced directive, the information may be provided to the resident's representative. Prior to or upon admission of a resident the Social Services Director or designees will inquire about the existence of any written advance directives. Advanced directives shall be displayed prominently in the medical record. If the resident indicates that he or she has not established advanced directives, the facility will offer assistance in establishing advanced directives. The plan of care for each resident will be consistent with his or her documented treatment preferences and/or advance directive. A resident will not be treated against his or her own wishes the Director of Nursing Services or designee will notify the Attending Physician of advanced directives so that appropriate orders can be documented in the resident's medial record. The Immediate Jeopardy that began on [DATE] and was removed on [DATE] when the facility took the following actions to remove the immediacy: 1. Corrective action for residents noted to have been affected by the deficient practice. a) R2 expired [DATE] after staff failed to initiate CPR when the resident was found unresponsive, and vital signs absent. No further resident follow up required at this time. b) R1 was transferred to the hospital with no POLST which resulted in intubation requiring compassionate extubation. 2. How will the facility identify other residents having the potential to be affected by the same deficient practice? a) Residents currently residing in the community on [DATE] have the potential to be affected by the identified practice. b) A review of all current resident's medical records was completed by DON/designee on [DATE] to ensure that a current and valid POLST was on the resident's file and coincides with the provider order and care plan updated. Any incomplete POLST forms will be updated and completed by the social services director or designee and provider orders updated by the DON or designee by [DATE]. c) Mock Code drills were performed on all shifts on 11/10, 11/11, 11/15 and [DATE].
