F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of the EMS run report dated [DATE] revealed the EMS received the call at 10:33 A.M. and was on scene at 10:41 A.M. The narrative stated they responded to a call to the skilled nursing facility for a resident who was unresponsive but breathing. Upon arrival the staff greeted the EMS at the entrance and informed the resident had been found unresponsive in the bathroom at 10:30 A.M. He was last seen normal at 10:00 A.M. The resident had stopped breathing briefly in the past five minutes, provoking staff to perform CPR. The staff said they got him back. EMS inquired about the code status and staff stated he was a DNR however it was not signed and opted to treat the residents as a full code unless a valid DNR was produced. Upon arrival to the residents' room the resident was supine on the floor with a nursing assistant at the resident's head assisting with a respiration with Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM). The resident had no detectable chest rise and fall, no apical pulse or carotid pulse. Chest compressions were initiated with intermittent ventilation provided by the nursing assistant. CPR continued for one to two minutes until the signed DNR was found. CPR was discontinued and the resident remained pulseless and apneic. On [DATE] at 9:00 A.M. an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #300 revealed when she walked into the room of Resident #66 Agency RN #301 had already been performing CPR on him. She stated RN #301 could not find his code status so she initialed CPR. She stated she started to assist with CPR. She stated then another nurse called out they found the DNR form however it was not signed so they continued CPR until the EMS arrived. She stated the EMS took over CPR. She stated then the other nurse who was at the desk found the signed DNR so EMS stopped CPR. She verified at this time CPR should not have been started on Resident #66 due to his DNR status. On [DATE] at 10:45 AM an interview with Agency RN # 301 revealed she walked into the room of Resident #66 and he was on the floor without a pulse. She stated she did not know his code status and did not go look before she started CPR. She stated she yelled at the housekeeper who was in the room to go get help. She stated RN #300 came in and took over CPR. She stated the squad was called and they continued CPR until the squad arrived. She stated they took over doing CPR then someone came in and stated he had a signed DNRCC-A so the EMS stopped. She stated they did get a faint pulse but then nothing again. She stated she would have started CPR anyway until she found out his code status. She stated she was not just going to let him lay there and not initiate CPR. Review of facility policy titled Advance Directives, dated 12/16, revealed Advance Directives would be respected in accordance with state law and facility policy. The information about whether or not the resident had executed an Advance Directive would be displayed prominently in the medical record. The plan of care would be consistent with the residents documented Advanced Directives. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00152130.

Review of the electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) medication administration note dated 03/02/24 at 7:53 A.M. revealed Resident #65 had not received her 64 units of degludec because the facility was waiting for it to be delivered from the pharmacy. Review of progress notes and eMar notes for March 2024 revealed no findings to indicate the physician had been notified of Resident #65 not receiving the degludec insulin as ordered on 03/02/24. On 03/25/24 at 2:30 P.M. an interview with the Director of Nursing verified on 03/02/24 the degludec insulin was in the refrigerator however the agency nurse did not look in the refrigerator and pull it out to give it Resident #65.
