Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, hospital record review, review of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
information, review of facility policy and procedures, and staff interviews, the facility failed to provide timely,
necessary and adequate care and services following an acute change in condition on 05/21/25 involving
Resident #22, when the resident was assessed to have a decline in health including lethargy, a poor
appetite, confusion, increased hallucinations, and low oxygen saturation, without evidence of timely or
adequate interventions and medical treatment. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and serious
life-threatening harm, and/or injuries when Resident #22 developed new deep tissue injuries (DTIs) and
suffered a continued decline in health status. Resident #22 continued to display a deterioration in condition
between 05/22/25 and 05/29/25 that was not comprehensively addressed and individualized medical
interventions provided. Consequently, on 05/29/25 at 9:30 P.M., Resident #22 was transferred to the
hospital where she was admitted with diagnoses of adrenal crisis, human meta pneumonia with septic
shock, acute hypoxic respiratory failure, metabolic encephalopathy, where she received treatment in the
intensive care unit (ICU) and was intubated requiring a ventilator for breathing from 05/29/25 until 06/02/25.
This affected one (#22) of four residents reviewed for a change in condition. The total facility census was
87. On 07/14/25 at 1:48 P.M., the Administrator, Regional Clinical Services Director (RCSD) #170, Regional
Nurse #170, and Director of Nursing (DON) were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 05/21/25 when
staff identified Resident #22 exhibited a change in condition, developed new DTIs, and experienced a
decline in health status without evidence of timely or adequate interventions and medical treatment. On
05/22/25, Resident #22 had hallucinations and increased confusion. Resident #22 continued to have
symptoms and decline in her condition on 05/24/25 when she was lethargic and 05/27/25 with a poor
appetite and the inability to take her medications without assistance. On 05/28/25, Resident #22 returned to
the facility from dialysis with blue fingertips and oxygen (O2) saturation of 71% (normal 95-100%), oxygen
was applied at two liters per nasal cannula and the facility was unable to reassess for effectiveness
because the pulse oximeter could not get a reading. The physician was notified and gave no new orders.
On 05/29/25, Resident #22 continued with confusion, blue fingertips, and hallucinations and she declined to
go to scheduled physician appointments due to feeling too tired, having a decline in health, blue fingertips
and hallucinations. On the evening of 05/29/25, Resident #22 had blue fingertips, and Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN) #129 was unable to ascertain an oxygen saturation level for the resident, the resident's blood
pressure was 76/57 millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg) [normal range 120/80 mm/Hg] and her pulse was 51
beats per minute [normal range 60-100 beats per minute]. Resident #22 was very confused and could not
put sentences together. Physician #166 was notified and 911 was called. Upon arrival to the facility,
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) workers were unable to ascertain a blood pressure reading for
Resident #22 and her blood sugar was 56 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) [normal range 70-99 mg/dL].

was transported to a local hospital, then transferred to a larger hospital where she was admitted for
treatment of admitting diagnoses of adrenal crisis, human meta pneumatic pneumonia with septic shock,
acute hypoxic respiratory failure, and acute metabolic encephalopathy. Resident #22 received treatment in
the intensive care unit (ICU) and was intubated requiring a ventilator for breathing from 05/29/25 until
06/02/25. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 07/15/25 when the facility implemented the following
corrective actions: On 05/29/25, Resident #22 was sent to the emergency room (ER) and returned to the
facility 6/09/25 and continues to receive dialysis three times weekly. On 07/14/25, Resident #22's clinical
assessment was completed by LPN #133 and was noted to be within normal limits for this resident. On
07/14/25, LPN #129 (the nurse responsible for Resident #22's direct care on 05/28/25 when the resident's
O2 saturation dropped to 71%) was re-educated by the DON on Change in Condition Notification policy
and procedure with emphasis on documentation relative to resident's change in condition in medical record
related to resident's progress notes in the medical record. On 07/14/25, the DON/Designee reviewed 13
residents in the 30 day look back period for notification of change in condition. On 07/14/25, all current
residents (87 residents) in the facility were reviewed by the DON/Designee for change in
condition/notification. Any issues identified were corrected at the time of discovery. This was completed
prior to 1:30 P.M. on 07/14/25. Beginning on 07/14/25, resident Progress Notes will be reviewed by the
DON/Designee daily to ensure all notification and new orders are documented for all residents change in
condition. E-interact Change in Condition user defined assessment (UDA) documentation is separated into
three sections. Section 1 includes signs and symptoms identified, vital sign evaluation, general background
information. Section 2 includes resident evaluation which includes mental status evaluation and functional
status evaluation, based on signs and symptoms identified, other body system domains can be assessed.
Section 3 includes a review of information and provider notifications. E-interact Change in Condition UDA
will be reviewed daily for all residents who are identified with a change in condition by the DON/Designee to
ensure all new orders and notifications are documented. On 07/14/25, the DON/Designee educated facility
nursing staff on Change in Condition Notification policy and procedure by 2:30 P.M. on 07/14/25. Three (3)
registered nurses (RNs) were educated in house, seven (7) RNs were educated via phone, seven (7) LPNs
were educated in house, nine (9) LPNs were educated via phone, 11 certified nurse aides (CNA)s were
educated in house, 44 CNAs were educated via phone. All RNs, LPNs, and CNAs that were educated via
phone must sign off on education prior to working their next shift. Beginning on 07/14/25, Progress Notes
will be reviewed on all current residents by the DON/Designee daily to ensure all notification and new
orders are documented for residents change in condition. E-interact Change in Condition UDA
documentation will be reviewed daily for all residents by the DON/Designee to ensure all new orders and
notifications are documented. On 07/14/25 at 4:00 P.M., a meeting was conducted with DON, ADON, LPN
#129, Regional Nurses, Medical Director and Administrator to review the incident for Resident #22.
Education was provided to LPN #129 regarding change in condition and notification documentation in the
medical record. On 07/14/25, the Change in Condition Notification policy was reviewed by the DON, Senior
[NAME] President of Clinical Services, Medical Director, and RCSD #170 to ensure the policy was
comprehensive and accurate. There were no changes made at this time. Beginning on 07/15/25, audits will
be completed by the DON/Designee daily for two weeks, then five times per week for two weeks, then three
times per week for two weeks, then two times per week for two weeks, then PRN (as needed) to ensure
change in condition notification occurs timely. Beginning on 07/15/25, results of the audits will be forwarded
to the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Committee meeting by the DON/Designee monthly for
three months for immediate follow up. On 07/15/25 at 2:01 P.M., 2:03

P.M., 2:05 P.M., 2:09 P.M., and 2:11 P.M., interviews with CNA #111, CNA #120, CNA #108, LPN #180, and
LPN #115 revealed the staff had received education from the facility on resident change in condition and
notification.? The CNAs interviewed reported that if they identify a change in a resident's condition, they are
to report that to the nurse. If the nurse doesn't address it (assess the resident), the CNA will report the
resident change in condition up the chain of command (manager). The LPNs that were interviewed
revealed they had received education on resident change in condition and notification.? The LPNs reported
they are to complete comprehensive assessments of residents identified with a change in condition, report
the change in condition to the resident's physician or medical provider (and the resident's family), receive
orders, and can go up the chain of command if needed. Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on
07/15/25, the facility remains out of compliance at Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more
than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) as the facility is still in the process of implementing their
corrective action plan and monitoring to ensure on-going compliance. Record review revealed Resident #22
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic
embolism and thrombosis of other specific veins and tachycardia. Review of an order dated 08/17/22
revealed Resident #22 had a Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care Arrest (DNRCCA) in place. The order was
discontinued on 06/03/25. Review of a Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed
Resident #22's cognition remained intact, she had no behaviors (including hallucinations), she needed
set-up help for eating and oral hygiene, was dependent for toileting hygiene, required maximum assistance
for bathing and lower body dressing, moderate assistance for upper body dressing, and required
supervision for personal hygiene. Resident #22 was also identified to be at risk for pressure ulcers. Review
of a note dated 05/21/25 at 8:11 A.M. by LPN #129 revealed during routine skin care, new deep tissue
injuries (DTIs) were noted to Resident #22's right flank and right upper thigh as well as a skin tear to her
right flank. Resident #22 did not have complaints of pain to the areas and there were no signs or symptoms
of infection noted. The skin tear was cleaned with normal saline, patted dry, xeroform and foam dressing
were applied and the DTIs had triad paste applied. Resident #22 was noted to have a decline in health,
went to dialysis three times a week, and received a new order to have a blanket between her and the Hoyer
pad. Resident #22's physician (#166) and responsible party were made aware. There were no new orders.
Review of vital signs taken on 05/21/25 at 11:39 P.M. revealed Resident #22 had respirations of 16 breaths
per minute, a pulse of 68 beats per minute (bpm), oxygen saturation of 93% on room air, and a blood
pressure of 102/60 mm/Hg. Review of a nursing note dated 05/22/25 at 6:43 A.M. by LPN #133 revealed
Resident #22 was up and hallucinating most of the night about men fighting in her room, and the dialysis
nurses laughing at her and shaking her chair. One-on-one intervention was attempted resulting in a brief
discussion with Resident #22 who would then return to hallucinations and asked the nurse to get the men
out of her house. There was no evidence that the resident's physician was notified. Review of vital signs
taken on 05/22/25 at 12:02 P.M. revealed Resident #22 had a blood pressure of 87/46 mm/Hg, pulse of 78
bpm, and oxygen level and respirations were not checked. Review of a nursing note dated 05/22/25 at
12:55 P.M. by LPN #129 revealed Resident #22 was noted to have increased confusion and was talking
about people in her bathroom. No other concerns were noted and there was no evidence the physician was
notified. Review of a nursing note dated 05/23/25 at 7:47 A.M. by LPN #129 revealed dialysis called and
stated their physician would like to discontinue Resident #22's order for nifedipine (medication used to treat
high blood pressure). Resident #22, responsible party and the physician were made aware. There were no
new orders. Review of vital signs for 05/23/25 revealed Resident #22's vital signs were not checked. Review

entering Resident #22's room, she had blue fingertips, and they were unable to get an oxygen reading.
Resident #22's blood pressure was also very low at 76/57 mm/Hg, and she had a pulse of 51 bpm. She
was very confused and having a hard time putting sentences together. Resident #22's physician was made
aware and gave orders to send to the emergency department for evaluation. Nine-one-one (911) was called
and Resident #22's responsible party was notified. Upon emergency medical services (EMS) arrival, they
obtained her blood sugar which was 56 mg/dL, and they could not obtain a blood pressure. Review of a
nursing note dated 05/30/25 at 3:08 A.M. by LPN #122 revealed the nurse at the emergency room notified
her Resident #22 was being transferred to a larger hospital with concerns of adrenal crisis. All parties were
made aware. Review of a nursing note dated 05/30/25 at 3:51 A.M. by LPN #122 revealed Resident #22
also had elevated troponin, TSH, an acute urinary tract infection (UTI), and hypoglycemia. All parties were
made aware. Review of a nursing note dated 06/09/25 at 3:18 P.M. by LPN #129 revealed the physician,
ambulance and dialysis were all notified of Resident #22's readmission to the facility. Review of a hospital
Discharge summary dated [DATE] at 11:42 A.M. revealed Resident #22 presented to a local emergency
room on [DATE] for confusion, hypoglycemia, and she was transferred to this hospital for a concern of
adrenal crisis. Resident #22 was admitted to the intensive care unit, and she had acute hypoxic respiratory
failure with intubation and septic shock. Her admitting diagnoses were secondary adrenal insufficiency,
septic shock with a UTI, Human Metapneumovirus/Strep/E.coli Pneumonia (E.coli and proteus were in her
urine, E.coli was in her sputum, and pneumonia had strep), acute hypoxic respiratory failure and was
intubated on arrival due to mental status, extubated on 06/02/25 and weaned to room air, and acute
metabolic encephalopathy. Review of a MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #22's cognition remained
intact, she had no behaviors, and she required set up for eating, supervision for oral hygiene, dependent on
staff for toileting hygiene, maximum assistance for bathing, moderate assistance for upper body dressing,
maximum assistance for lower body dressing, dependent on staff for applying footwear, and maximum
assistance for personal hygiene. Interview on 07/11/25 at 2:08 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
#101 revealed Resident #22 was super, super confused for a while. She was unsure why Resident #22 was
hospitalized . Interview on 07/11/25 at 2:13 P.M. with LPN #115 revealed that if she encountered a resident
with a low oxygen saturation, she would apply oxygen or a bipap and call the doctor immediately because
that is a sign of respiratory distress/exacerbation. LPN #115 stated the facility does not normally treat
respiratory distress. LPN #115 stated if she was unable to get a resident's oxygen reading, she would grab
another machine, and if she still couldn't, she would send the resident to the hospital immediately using her
nursing judgement, then call the doctor. LPN #115 stated Resident #22 made her own decisions for a long
time; however, when she started dialysis, she would talk with her brother to make decisions, then she was
so confused she could not make decisions. LPN #115 stated Resident #22 is better now and making her
own choices. Interview on 07/11/25 at 2:25 P.M. with LPN #129 revealed she was the nurse on 05/28/25
providing care to Resident #22 when Resident #22's oxygen level was at 71%. LPN #129 stated when
someone has low oxygen, she applies oxygen, calls the physician and follows orders. LPN #129 stated
Resident #22 was not on oxygen prior to 05/28/25 and had no history of using ventilators or oxygen. LPN
#129 confirmed Resident #22 having low oxygen levels was a big

change for her. LPN #129 stated she tried to warm Resident #22's fingers and she spoke with dialysis who
also noted she had blue fingertips. LPN #129 stated Resident #22 was making her own decisions until she
had a decline. LPN #129 stated she does not make any decisions without talking to the doctor first and it is
up to the doctor to determine if someone needs to go to the hospital or not. LPN #129 stated if she did not
document anything in her notes, the physician did not give orders at the time. LPN #129 also confirmed
multiple notes did not indicate the physician was notified of Resident #22's change in status. Interview on
07/11/25 at 2:43 P.M. with LPN #110 revealed if a resident had blue fingers and an oxygen saturation level
of 71%, it would likely be a medical emergency. LPN #110 stated his course of action would be to apply
oxygen even if the residents do not have an as needed order because they are obviously in distress, reach
out to the doctor, and more than likely call 911. When asked if the resident had a full code status or
DNRCCA in place and the doctor did not give orders to send out, LPN #110 stated he would use his
nursing judgement to send a resident in respiratory distress out (to the hospital to be evaluated). Interview
on 07/11/25 at 3:33 P.M. with Physician #166 revealed he could not recall specifically what the facility did or
did not make him aware of regarding Resident #22. Physician #166 stated he could not recall why he did
not give new orders to send Resident #22 to the hospital. Physician #166 stated it was likely the facility
administered oxygen and her saturation went up. When informed the nurse could not get a follow up
reading (oxygen saturation) on Resident #22, Physician #166 did not have a response. Physician #166
stated if the facility called him regarding Resident #22 having hallucinations, out of every resident in the
building, he would care the least about her having hallucinations because she is schizophrenic and has
hallucinations at times. When asked about worsening hallucinations in conjunction with other symptoms
such as low oxygen levels, poor appetite and lethargy, Physician #166 stated she's always discolored, I
don't know if they document that though. Interview on 07/11/25 at 3:52 P.M. with Dialysis Manager (DM)
#150 revealed the dialysis center had noticed a decline in Resident #22's health as well. DM #150 stated
prior to 05/21/25, they had sent Resident #22 to the hospital multiple times, and they were unable to
identify a problem and would send her back. DM #150 stated when Resident #22 went to the hospital on
[DATE], she did not think she would ever come back but she is like a whole new person since her recovery.
DM #150 reviewed notes at this time and revealed on 05/16/25, a discussion about Resident #22's low
blood pressure was had, and a referral was sent to cardiology as well as new orders to take blood pressure
twice daily from Friday-Sunday. On 05/19/25, the dialysis physician rounded and decreased blood pressure
medications and a message was left with the facility to update them on the new orders. On 05/21/25, an
order was received to discontinue nifedipine (blood pressure medication) due to low blood pressures. On
05/23/25, DM #150 spoke with the facility who did not stop the nifedipine but would discontinue it
immediately and monitor blood pressures. On 05/28/25, dialysis called the facility for a medication change
due to a need to discontinue atenolol and start Coreg. DM #150 stated dialysis is not required to check
oxygen levels, but they did notice Resident #22 had some discoloration to her fingers. Interview on 07/14/25
at 8:40 A.M. with Resident #22 revealed she was unable to recall the entire timeframe she was sick, she
does not know when it started or when she was sent out. Resident #22 stated this was abnormal for her
because she usually knows what's going on. Resident #22 stated she asked the facility what happened, but
they didn't tell her. Resident #22 stated it was like out of nowhere she took a nosedive. Resident #22 stated
she does have a history of hallucinations, but it is not anything too bad. Resident #22 stated it is not normal
for her to be lethargic, confused, have a poor appetite, have blue fingertips, or unable to form sentences.
Resident #22 stated she had never needed to wear oxygen prior to her illness. Interview on

07/14/25 at 8:54 A.M. with LPN #133 revealed she worked with Resident #22 throughout the timeframe of
05/21/25 through 05/29/25. LPN #133 stated it was normal for Resident #22 to have hallucinations. LPN
#133 stated during a certain period of time, it was Resident #22's baseline to be confused, unable to
communicate, and blue fingertips. LPN #133 stated Resident #22's confusion and lethargy were due to
dialysis. Interview on 07/14/25 at 10:06 A.M. with LPN #122 revealed she worked with Resident #22 the
night she was sent out. LPN #122 stated she sent Resident #22 out on 05/29/25. LPN #122 stated when
she reported for her shift, she was informed Resident #22 wasn't doing very well, had to be fed her meals,
was on oxygen now, and her fingers were blue. LPN #122 stated the aides got her during the night because
Resident #22 was out of it and her fingers were super blue. LPN #122 stated Resident #22 did not know
where she was, thought she was seeing her dead son and calling out for him. LPN #122 stated she got one
low blood pressure but could not recall what it was. When she attempted to recheck the blood pressure, she
was unable to get one at all. LPN #122 stated she called Physician #166 who gave the order to send
Resident #22 to the hospital. LPN #122 stated EMS came and they could not get blood pressure either and
made the comment they had never seen their blood pressure cuff go so low. LPN #122 stated her initial
thought was Resident #22 was in respiratory failure because her fingers were so blue. LPN #122 stated she
worked with Resident #22 about one week prior to this incident and the resident had a major change (within
that week). LPN #122 stated she was shocked because Resident #22 could make her own decisions for the
most part with some confusion. Resident #22 had worse hallucinations than normal, and she does not
hallucinate often unless something clinical is going on with her. LPN #122 stated Resident #22 never used
oxygen before. LPN #122 stated since starting dialysis, Resident #22's blood pressure had been running
lower, but not as low as it was during 05/29/25. LPN #122 stated Resident #22 was not diabetic and she
would not have even considered checking her blood sugar. LPN #122 stated she reviewed the
documentation for the previous week (05/21/25- 05/29/25) and was very frustrated with everything and
thought if Resident #22 had gone out several days sooner, she may not have needed to be intubated. LPN
#122 stated a comment was made Resident #22 was a DNRCCA and waiting for a hospice consult;
however, Resident #22 stated she was not ready to die. LPN #122 stated if she had been working while
Resident #22's oxygen was 71%, she would have called the doctor to get orders and send her out. If the
doctor did not give the order, LPN #122 would have used nursing judgement and sent her anyway. Interview
on 07/14/25 at 10:27 A.M. with RN #117 revealed she does not often work the floor but knew Resident #22
has had blood pressure issues and wasn't feeling well since starting dialysis. RN #117 stated Resident #22
had no complaints, but she was lethargic when she worked with her. RN #117 stated she was sure she
notified the physician and notification should be documented. Review of a statement dated 07/14/25 by
LPN #129 revealed Resident #22's physician was notified about the change of condition on 05/28/25 and
was in agreeance that resident had been declining over the last few weeks after starting dialysis. The
physician gave the okay for Resident #22 to have oxygen and for a hospice consultation. No other orders
were given at that time. (This was not part of Resident #22's medical record). Review of an undated
statement by Physician #166 revealed regarding the timeframe of 05/22/25 through 05/29/25 relating to
Resident #22's health, he was kept aware of her condition and goals through verbal reports, Resident #22
had been weighing the option of hospice and at no point did Physician #166 feel he was inadequately made
aware of Resident #22's condition and the timing of the ER visit and hospitalization on 05/29/25 was not
inappropriate to the overall clinical scenario. Review of a policy titled Change in Condition dated 08/09/23
revealed the nurse will notify the resident, their physician, and a representative when there is a change in
condition including a significant change in the resident's physical, mental or

psychosocial status such as deterioration which includes life-threatening conditions or clinical
complications. The nurse will document in the resident's medical record information relative to the resident's
change in condition and a comprehensive assessment will be completed if the change is significant. The
definition of significant change in condition means the condition will not normally resolve itself without
intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease-related clinical interventions and it impacts more
than one area of the resident's health status and requires interdisciplinary review and/or revision to the care
plan. Immediately is determined to be as soon as practicable after the resident has been adequately
assessed, necessary emergent care or treatment is rendered, and the resident's safety has been secured.
Review of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center website
(https://www.upmc.com/services/divsion-infectious-diseases/conditions/sepsis) dated 2025 revealed the six
main symptoms of sepsis are shortness of breath; fever, chills, or feeling very cold; high heart rate or low
blood pressure; extreme pain or discomfort; sweaty or clammy skin; and being confused or feeling a bit
lost.? Sepsis is an emergency blood infection that can lead to death within hours without proper treatment.?
Sepsis can progress quickly and cause death within 12 hours and the risk of death increases by 7.6% for
every hour that passes without treatment and getting quick treatment can be the difference between life and
death.? Four types of infection that are more likely to lead to sepsis include pneumonia, a UTI, skin
infections and gut infections. Those at a higher risk for sepsis include people 65 or older, weakened
immune systems, have had a recent severe illness or hospital stay, or chronic illnesses such as lung
disease or kidney disease.? This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint
Number 1356449.
