What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 3 deficiencies, 1 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 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on closed medical record review, review of the transportation service report, staff interviews, physician interview, and review of the facility policy regarding change in a resident's condition, the facility failed to timely notify the physician of a significant change of condition for one resident (#55). This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and the potential for serious life-threatening harm, injury, and/or death when Resident #55 experienced abnormally low blood pressures over the course of four hours with no notification to the physician of the abnormal levels until Resident #55 was found unresponsive on [DATE] at 5:45 A.M. and subsequently expiring at the hospital later that evening. This affected one (#55) of four residents reviewed for a change in condition. The facility census was 57 residents. On [DATE] at 1:11 P.M., the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), and Regional Director of Clinical Services #500 were notified that Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] at 1:24 A.M. when Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #170 failed to notify a physician regarding a significantly low blood pressure for Resident #55. Resident #55's blood pressure on [DATE] at 1:24 A.M. was 77/47 millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg) (normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm/Hg). Documentation of the blood pressure at 5:45 A.M that morning revealed the blood pressure remained low at 73/39 mm/Hg and Resident #55 was unresponsive. Resident #55 was noted to be a Do-Not- Resuscitate Comfort Care Arrest (DNRCCA). The doctor gave the order to send the resident to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment related to her low blood pressure and unresponsive state. Resident #55 was taken to a local hospital where she was admitted with a diagnosis of sepsis. The resident died later that evening. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: • On [DATE], Resident #55 ' s record was reviewed by the DON and Regional Director of Clinical Services #500. Resident #55 expired at the hospital on [DATE] at approximately at 8:00 P.M. with hospice services in place requested by her family. • On [DATE], all residents were assessed by the DON and/or designee that included vital signs and the resident's current condition. The nurse's focus is to determine the resident is within their normal baseline and if not, the Change in Condition Policy was followed. Findings included Resident #11 ' s blood pressure was out of the parameters and an order was in place for as needed hypertensive medication which was administered on [DATE] by LPN #166 with good results. (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.

Vital signs were within normal limits upon admission were documented as follows: 128/58 mm/Hg (blood pressure), 97.8 degrees Fahrenheit (temperature), 98 beats per minute (pulse), and 94% (oxygen saturation-room air).

Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #55 in [DATE] revealed that all doses of the above-mentioned blood pressure medications were given to the resident on [DATE] through [DATE]. Review of the nursing note for Resident #55 dated [DATE] at 8:36 A.M. revealed that at around 5:45 A.M. that morning, the nurse was giving morning medications to other residents and went to check on Resident #55 when he found her unresponsive. Vital signs were taken and noted to be 73/39 mm/Hg (blood pressure), 73 beats per minute (pulse), 97.1 degrees Fahrenheit (temperature), 90% (oxygen saturation), and 20 breaths per minute (respirations). The note went on to say that the doctor was notified and wanted the resident sent to the emergency room for evaluation. LPN #170 stated that he notified the power of attorney as well. Review of the ambulance run report for Resident #55 dated [DATE], revealed the resident was non-responsive upon their arrival at 6:29 A.M. The interview with the nurse revealed that the patient caretaker in the room stated patient is normally verbal, asking questions, but has declined over the last two days.

LPN #170 doesn ' t specifically remember the details of the incident but confirmed what was written in his nursing note. He found Resident #55 unresponsive on the morning of [DATE] and took her vital signs. Based on his assessment, he called the doctor and was told to send the resident to the emergency room for further evaluation. LPN #170 doesn ' t remember taking her blood pressure earlier in the shift where he got a reading of 77/47 mm/Hg but stated that if his initials were in PCC (Point Click Care), then it ' s hard to dispute. LPN #170 went on to state that he doesn ' t remember calling the doctor with the blood pressure of 77/47 mm/Hg, but he knows they are constantly understaffed at night. The nurse was asked what he would normally do for a resident with a blood pressure of 77/47 mm/Hg, and he responded, I would call and notify the doctor. Phone interview on [DATE] at 2:30 P.M. with Medical Doctor (MD) #300, the resident ' s primary care physician, revealed that he can ' t remember the specifics around Resident #55.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few say that if it was months ago, it becomes hard to remember. The question was asked to MD #300 that if the resident had a blood pressure of 77/47 mm/Hg like she did at 1:24 A.M. on [DATE], should she be sent to the hospital? MD #300 stated If I were notified of such a blood pressure, my instructions would be for the facility to send that resident to the hospital for evaluation. There ' s not much the facility can do for a blood pressure that low. The doctor went on to explain that all residents on blood pressure medications don ' t come with parameters for those medications. His expectation is that the facility nursing staff take vitals each time a blood pressure medication is administered and use nursing judgement when administering those medications. This included holding medications for low blood pressures and calling the doctor with critically low blood pressures. Review of the CMS sepsis bundle compliance guide revealed Resident #55 exhibited two indicators of sepsis on [DATE] at 1:24 A.M. Resident #55 had a temperature below 96.8 degrees (96.7) and a documented systolic blood pressure less than 90 (77/47 mm/Hg). The compliance guide reiterated the importance of receiving treatment and testing within three hours of identification of sepsis. Review of the facility policy titled Change in a Resident ' s Condition or Status, dated 05/2017, revealed The nurse will notify the resident ' s attending physician or physician on call when there has been a significant change in the resident ' s physical/emotional/mental condition. A significant change of condition is a major decline or improvement in the resident ' s status that will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease-related clinical interventions.
