**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** THE
FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NONCOMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
Residents Affected - Few
Based on open and closed medical record review, review of hospital records, review of an emergency
medical service (EMS) report, review of the facilities self-reported incident (SRI), staff interviews, review of
witness statements, physician interview, review of the American Heart Association website, and review of
facility policy, the facility failed to timely notify the physician of a significant change of condition for one
resident (Resident #75). This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and the potential for serious life-threatening
harm, negative health outcomes, and/or death when Resident #75 experienced low blood pressure, with no
notification to the physician of the abnormal level resulting in hospitalization and subsequent death. This
affected one (Resident #75) of four residents reviewed for change in condition and death. The facility
census was 71.
On [DATE] at 5:53 P.M., the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) were notified via phone that
Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] at 1:00 P.M. when former Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #200 failed
to notify a physician regarding a significantly low blood pressure level for Resident #75. Resident #75 ' s
blood pressure on [DATE] at 11:45 A.M. was 86/49 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) (normal levels are above
90 systolic and above 60 diastolic). Documentation of the next blood pressure was not obtained until 4:15
P.M. when LPN #72 obtained Resident #75 ' s blood pressure levels at 88/54 mmHg. No attempts were
made to contact a physician regarding the low blood pressure from 11:45 A.M. to 4:15 P.M. On [DATE] at
4:30 P.M., LPN #72 notified Medical Director (MD) #500 of the change in condition and contacted the EMS.
The EMS arrived at the hospital at 5:17 P.M. and Resident #75 expired at the hospital on [DATE] at 10:07
P.M.
Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] the facility remained out of compliance at
Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy)
until the deficiency was corrected on [DATE] when the facility implemented the following corrective actions:
•
On [DATE] at 4:30 P.M., the DON was made aware by LPN #72 that Resident #75 was sent out to the
hospital and later deceased .
•
On [DATE], the DON reviewed Resident #75 ' s medical record and identified that LPN #200, who was
Resident #75 ' s attending nurse on [DATE], had not notified the physician of resident ' s change in

Resident #75 was doing OK. At 3:30 P.M., STNA #45 reported Resident #75 had been refusing
incontinence care and needed care. Resident #75 resisted and then permitted LPN #72 and STNA #45 to
provide incontinence care. The resident had coffee ground vomiting and loose bloody stool.
Review of facilities SRI, submitted by the facility Administrator on [DATE], revealed LPN #72 reported
former LPN #200 did not assess Resident #75. Former LPN #200 was terminated due to failure to maintain
honest and accurate records of services as well as inefficiency, lack of productive effort or other
unsatisfactory work performance.
Review of the investigation statement of LPN #65 revealed on [DATE] on second shift report at 2:00 P.M,
former LPN #200 reported to LPN #72, Resident #75 ' s blood pressure was 86/46 mmHg, and the resident
was declining. At 4:20 P.M., LPN #72 reported to LPN #65, EMS had been called as Resident #75 was
vomiting, and had diarrhea. LPN #65 called former LPN #200. Former LPN #200 reported Resident #75
had not vomited, had no diarrhea, and verified the blood pressure was 86/46 mmHg.
Interview on [DATE] at 10:43 A.M, the DON verified the investigation of Resident #75 ' s change of
condition, resulting in hospitalization and death, was not acted upon by former LPN #200. Former LPN
#200 did not notify the physician during the first shift of [DATE] when blood pressure was verified at 86/46
mmHg at 11:45 A.M. The investigation revealed STNAs #30 and #40 notified former LPN #200 throughout
first shift of Resident #75 ' s refusal of care, meals and general decline in condition. The DON verified
Therapist #100 had notified former LPN #200 of the resident ' s low blood pressure and general weakness
at 11:35 A.M. The DON verified former LPN #200 did not document progress notes of Resident #75 ' s
conditional changes or vitals obtained during the first shift of [DATE]. The DON stated former LPN #200
documented, with inaccurate dates, and late entry documentation on [DATE] during the investigative
interview. The handwritten late entry documentation was not contained in Resident #75 ' s medical record.
The DON verified the former LPN #200 was suspended during the investigation and employment
terminated on [DATE]. The DON verified former LPN #200 was terminated due to lack of documentation of
Resident #75 ' s assessment, recording of blood pressure in the medical record, did not respond to
notification from STNAs #30 and #40 of resident condition change, had inaccurate late entry documentation
and did not use facility nurses reporting documentation on the second shift nursing report. The DON stated
the nurse written shift report could not be located during the investigation to confirm or deny Resident #75 '
s blood pressure was communicated to the second shift nurse. The DON verified the second shift LPN #72,
reporting to work at 2:00 P.M., did not assess Resident #75 until 3:30 P.M.
Interview on [DATE] at 11:05 A.M. with MD #500 revealed discussion with Resident #75 ' s Emergency
Physician on [DATE] that Resident #75 was most likely having a cardiac event during the day of [DATE]. MD
#500 stated he was not notified until 4:35 P.M. by second shift LPN #72 of the low blood pressure, vomiting,
loose stools and general change in condition. MD #500 stated the first shift nurse, former LPN #200, should
have contacted him when the low blood pressure of 86/49 mmHg was first assessed at 11:45 A.M., in
addition to refusal of meals and general not feeling well.
Interview on [DATE] at 11:18 A.M., LPN #70 verified she had suggested to former LPN #200 to assess

not report having contacted MD #500 and EMS until 4:20 P.M.
Interview on [DATE] at 12:07 P.M. with second shift nurse LPN #72 verified she received written shift report
from former LPN #200 which did not have blood pressure values and there was no vital or progress record
in the EMR from former LPN #200. LPN #72 revealed former LPN #200 stated the resident was in decline
but was stable. The verbal clinical report contained no blood pressure values. LPN #72 verified she started
her medication pass and did not assess Resident #75 until STNA #45 reported Resident #75 needed
assessment due to refusal of care and general decline. During incontinence care, Resident #75 started
vomiting and had loose stool, with a blood pressure of 88/54 mmHg, pulse 54 beats per minute and
respirations of 27 breaths per minute. EMS was contacted at about 4:15 P.M and the respirations had
decreased to 6 breaths per minute. LPN #72 stated she should have made resident visual rounds at the
start of her shift to ensure the residents on her assignment had been assessed accurately.
Interview on [DATE] at 1:20 P.M., Therapist #100 verified she had obtained Resident #75 ' s blood pressure
on [DATE] at about 12:30 P.M. and the blood pressure was 82/19 mmHg. Therapist #100 verified she
reported immediately to former LPN #200 the low blood pressure value. Former LPN #200 directed no
therapy be provided due to the condition change. Former LPN #200 stated she would obtain a blood
pressure with manual equipment. Therapist #100 stated she did observe former LPN #200 taking Resident
#75 ' s blood pressure with manual equipment about 15 minutes later.
Interview on [DATE] at 1:30 P.M., former LPN #200 verified Resident #75 took her medications without
difficulty at the 8:00 A.M. medication pass. Former LPN #200 denied STNAs #30 and #40 reported the
resident had refused care, refused meals, refused vitals and had a general decline. She stated around
12:00 P.M. Therapist #100 notified her of Resident #75 ' s low blood pressure with the electronic vital
machine of 80/19 mmHg and pulse of 70 beats per minute. The resident had reported not feeling well,
wanted to be left alone and sleepy. Former LPN #200 stated she obtained a blood pressure 15 minutes
later with manual equipment and the blood pressure was 86/49 mmHg at around 1:00 P.M. Former LPN
#200 stated since the resident ' s admission on [DATE], the resident had been lowly motivated, and spent
much time in bed. She stated she checked on Resident #75 at 1:50 P.M and the resident was sleeping so

Findings include:
Review of Resident #75's closed medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
and discharged to the hospital on [DATE]. The resident expired at the hospital on [DATE]. Diagnoses for
Resident #75 included malignant neoplasm of the rectum with colon resection surgery on [DATE], diabetes,
morbid obesity, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure.
Review of the comprehensive Minimum Data Set, (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], revealed the resident
had intact cognition and required partial assistance for mobility, and extensive assistance for toileting and
bathing.

listed as late entry documentation of [DATE], by Former Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #200. Former LPN

therapy staff notified Former LPN #200 of Resident #75's blood pressure was low, respiration of 18, and
oxygen saturation at 91 percent with the electronic vital machine. Therapist #100 stated therapy would not
be delivered due to the resident stating she did not feel good. At 11:45 A.M., Former LPN #200
documented blood pressure was completed with manual equipment and the value was 87/49 millimeters of
mercury, (mmHg). The resident was sleeping at 12:30 P.M. At 1:20 P.M., the resident was sleeping. A late
entry dated [DATE] at 1:55 P.M., revealed Former LPN #200 reported to the second shift nurse, LPN #72
that Resident #75 was starting to decline due to her blood pressure was 87/49 mmHg and to keep an eye
on her, and wasn't feeling well. The late entry handwritten nurse notes were not located in any chart of

documentation of the resident's vital values in the electronic resident chart or hard chart.
Interview on [DATE] at 10:43 A.M., with the Director of Nursing, (DON) verified the investigation of Resident
#75's change condition, resulting in hospitalization and death, was not acted upon by Former LPN #200.
Former LPN #200 did not notify the physician during the first shift of [DATE] when blood pressure was
verified at 86/46 mmHg at 11:45 A.M. The DON verified Former LPN #200 was terminated on [DATE] due
to lack of accurate documentation of Resident #75's condition change assessment and did not record vital
signs, including blood pressure in the medical record. The DON verified the handwritten late entry
documentation provided by Former LPN #200 nurse was inaccurate and was not located in any medical
chart.
