Perform COVID19 testing on residents and staff.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to operationalize its Covid-19 Policy
and to follow CDC (Centers for Disease Control) guidelines by testing and immediately isolating two
residents (R9, R11) with respiratory symptoms consistent with infection by the Covid-19 virus. This failure
has the potential to affect all 25 residents living at the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
1. R9's Nursing Progress Notes dated 3/17/23, all authored by V3 (Registered Nurse/RN) documented the
following:
1:00pm: o2 sat (Oxygen Saturation) (dropped to) 87% (percent), o2 at 2 liters via NC (Nasal Cannula)
applied.
3:00pm: o2 sat at 96%, will continue to monitor.
5:45pm: (V11/Physician) (was) called with condition report regarding o2 (sat) dropping. Applied 2 liters o2
via NC. With the o2 her sat came up to 96%. We will continue to monitor .
There was no documentation in these notes to indicate R9 was rapid tested for Covid, nor that R9 was
isolated upon displaying symptoms suggestive of infection with Covid.
According to https://www.medicinenet.com/what_are_blood_oxygen_levels/article.htm, normal range for
oxygen saturation is 95-100%.
A Nursing Progress Note dated 3/18/23 at 11:40am authored by V5 (RN/Infection Control Preventionist)
documented: Upon obtaining vital signs, CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) notified (this) nurse of (R9's)
pulse (being) 125 (beats per minute). o2 (sat) 90 (percent) on 3 liters (o2). (V11) (was) notified of condition
and gave orders to send (R9) to emergency room for evaluation and treatment.
A 3/18/23 Hospital admission History and Physical documented, W/U (Work up) in ED (Emergency
Department). CXR (chest x-ray) remarkable for bilateral patchy infiltrates, small pleural effusion. Covid lab

residents or staff members since 02/03/23.
On 3/31/23 at 8:39am, V3 stated that when R9's o2 sats decreased on 3/17/23 as outlined in the above

breath and decreased o2 sats can be symptoms of an active infection with Covid. V3 stated in retrospect, it
would have been a good idea to immediately isolate R9 and to do a Covid rapid test.
On 3/31/23 at 9:47am, V5 (RN/Infection Control Preventionist) stated that although she had not
documented it, R9's o2 sat when the CNA had initially notified V5 was at 87%. V5 acknowledged shortness
of breath and decreased o2 sats can be symptoms of an active infection with Covid. V5 stated when R9
began experiencing these symptoms, It would not have been a bad idea to test her for Covid. V5 confirmed
R9 was not isolated at the time the symptoms began, but R9 was in a private room. V5 stated the facility will
soon be implementing staff training regarding Covid testing.
2. On 03/29/23 at 10:15 AM, R11 was alert and oriented to person, place and time, and stated, Something
is going around here. When asked what she was referring to, R11 stated, Can't you tell by looking at me?
I'm sick. I feel crappy. R11 stated she had been sick for the past week. She is not taking any medication for
it but is drinking a honey and pepper drink brought from home that is supposed to help. When asked if she
had been tested for Covid-19, R11 stated she had not. R11 was in bed with bedside table over her,
experiencing congestion, runny nose, watery eyes, and was wiping her nose with a tissue sniffling and
physically looked ill.
On 03/29/23 at 1:53 PM, V5 (RN/Infection Control Preventionist) was asked if R11 had been tested for
Covid-19. V5 stated they are not required to test any more unless someone is displaying symptoms. When
asked what would be considered a symptom that might warrant testing, V5 stated any respiratory symptom
like a cough or runny nose, elevated temperature, vomiting, or diarrhea. To (V5's) knowledge, R11 had not
been tested for Covid-19. R11's record does not document any information regarding R11's symptoms until
03/29/23 at 2:10 PM when V5 writes the following - Resident rapid tested for Covid-19 d/t (due to)
complains of not feeling well. Resident negative for Covid-19 @ (at) this time.
