The resident was unresponsive, and the nurse initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately.
The nurse called to State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) to send in another nurse.
Review of Resident #65's emergency medical technician squad (EMS) report dated [DATE] revealed the
squad arrived for a [AGE] year-old male in full arrest. Upon arrival, the nursing staff provided manual chest
compressions and breaths with a bag valve mask (BVM). Per nursing staff, the resident's last known
wellness check was around 10:00 A.M. Staff found the resident at noon pulseless and apneic and began
CPR. CPR was taken over by EMS. The resident's cardiac rhythm showed asystole. Three rounds of
epinephrine as well and two rounds of Narcan were administered. The time of death was pronounced on
[DATE] at 12:30 P.M. The report indicated the call was received on [DATE] at 12:13 P.M., the squad

Review of Resident #65's Coroner Report Form dated [DATE] indicated the police were called to the
resident's room following the death and officers advised the coroner that the death was a possible drug
overdose. The police had found evidence of drugs found in the resident's room. A wallet was in the room
and inside the wallet was a white piece of paper folded up with a white powdery substance in it. There was
also a blue piece of paper rolled up with some other white powdery substance. The wallet also contained a

Director of Nursing (DON) indicated Resident #65 had a prior history of drug abuse and he expired in the
facility due to an overdose provided by a visitor.
Interview on [DATE] at 10:21 A.M. with LPN #813 revealed she did not administer Resident #65's morning
medications on [DATE] because she did not come in until 10:30 A.M. She stated she went in to administer
the resident noon medications and found the resident unresponsive, still warm and in bed. She stated this
was the first time she had attempted to assess the resident on [DATE] because she clocked in late to the
facility.
Interview on [DATE] at 8:59 A.M. with Coroner Department #831 indicated their department was notified of
Resident #65's death on [DATE] at 12:37 P.M. He stated from what their department understood, the
deceased died by acute Fentanyl overdose and Gabapentin which were provided by a friend.
Interview on [DATE] at 1:32 P.M. with RN Regional #812 confirmed Resident #65 had a prior history of
substance abuse. RN Regional #812 confirmed Resident #65's medical record and comprehensive care
plans did not include interventions to address the resident's substance abuse history on admission or
following the medicine progress note visit on [DATE] when there was discussion related to pain medication.
There was no evidence the facility adequately and thoroughly assessed or implemented interventions
including but not limited to increased monitoring or supervision of the resident as well as increased
supervision of visitors to prevent possible behaviors including a relapse of his substance abuse disorder.
Interview on [DATE] at 4:30 P.M. with Licensed Social Worker (LSW) #830 indicated Resident #65 had
ordered door dash at some point (unknown date) and had ordered alcohol with the door dash. LSW #830
confirmed the facility talked to the resident and removed the alcohol but did not include increased
supervision and monitoring for the resident as part of the resident's care planned interventions to ensure
the resident's safety. She stated she was made aware of the incident after it occurred.
Interview on [DATE] at 9:49 A.M. with Resident #65's stepmother revealed following admission, the resident
had been getting better (with physical therapy). However, the resident's stepmother voiced concerns she felt
the resident received inadequate monitoring for drug use related to the resident's history of prior substance
abuse.
Interview on [DATE] at 10:09 A.M. with Paramedic #830 indicated the staff completed adequate
compressions during Resident #65's CPR. Paramedic #830 confirmed the resident was cyanotic and warm

Resident #65 had a visitor earlier in the day and administered the Narcan as a precaution.
Interview on [DATE] at 10:40 A.M. with RN Regional #812 revealed Resident #65 had received therapy
services on [DATE] from 9:27 A.M. to10:17 A.M. After therapy the resident went back to his room. RN
Regional #812 indicated the resident did not request assistance and staff did not go into the room from the
end of therapy until the resident was found unresponsive on [DATE] at 12:10 P.M.
Review of the Behavior Management Program policy revised [DATE] revealed the goal of the facility was to
improve management of behaviors and move closer to the goal of ending any inappropriate or unnecessary
use of antipsychotic medications. The facility would assess and track behavior that negatively impacted
each resident in regard to their quality of life.

including anxiety disorder, other psychoactive substance abuse and multiple fractures.
