**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of the medical record, staff interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to notify the physician or
non-physician provider when a resident had an acute change in condition. This affected one (Resident #52)
of three residents reviewed for a change in condition. The facility census was 65.Findings include:Review of
the medical record for Resident #52 revealed an admission date of 09/25/25. Diagnoses included cerebral
infarction (stroke), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and acute respiratory failure with
hypoxia. Review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], revealed Resident
#52 had intact cognition as evidenced by a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15. Review of
nurse's progress notes dated 01/31/26 from 11:00 A.M. to 10:55 P.M., revealed no documented evidence
the physician or the non-physician provider was contacted when Resident #52 experienced an acute
change in condition at approximately 1:00 P.M.Review of the nurse's progress note dated 01/31/26 at 10:56
P.M., authored by Registered Nurse (RN) #30, revealed Resident #52 had complaints of shocking feeling in
his chest area. Upon assessment, he had a pacemaker, heart rate was obtained at 64 beats per minute
(bpm) and then rechecked at 69 bpm. The on-call provider was contacted but did not answer. The nurse
was awaiting a return call.Review of the nurse's progress note dated 02/01/26 at 12:55 A.M., authored by
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #23, revealed Resident #52 complained of an implantable cardioverter
defibrillator (ICD) shock and stated it had been shocking him for the last four hours. Vital signs were
obtained with a blood pressure (BP) of 94/59 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), 92 heart rate, 22 respirations,
and oxygen saturation of 96 percent (%). Resident #52 requested to go to the emergency room because
the shocks were scaring him. The on-call provider was contacted and agreed to send Resident #52 to the
hospital for evaluation. The family and the Director of Nursing (DON) were notified. Review of the EMS
report dated 02/01/26, revealed squad arrived on scene at 12:52 A.M. for a resident complaining of a
shocking pain in his chest. Vital signs were taken at 1:02 A.M. with a BP of 118/72 mmHg, 156 heart rate,
18 respirations. At 1:13 A.M., the vital signs were BP 111/58 mmHg, 225 heart rate, 18 respirations.
Assessment revealed Resident #52 had reported his ICD had shocked him 12 - 15 times in the last three
hours. Resident #52 was in atrial fibrillation (A-fib) with rapid ventricular response (RVR). Resident #52 was
transported to the hospital at 1:18 A.M.Review of the hospital paperwork dated 02/01/26, revealed Resident
#52 presented to the emergency room complaining of experiencing repeated ICD firings. Resident #52 was
a sixty-nine-year-old man with a history of coronary artery disease (CAD) caused by ischemic
cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of 20-25 percent (%) status post three vein coronary artery bypass
graft (CABG) and ICD placement. In the emergency room, Resident #52 required cardiology consultation
and initiation of amiodarone (antiarrhythmic medication used to treat and prevent life-threatening, recurring,
or persistent heart rhythm disorders, including ventricular arrhythmias [ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia]
and rapid atrial fibrillation).

in resident's conditions and to facilitate effective communication with physicians. The nursing staff must be
vigilant in monitoring residents for any changes in condition including alterations in vital signs, mobility,
cognition, mood, or behavior. When a nurse was notified of a change, the nurse would perform a
comprehensive assessment to evaluate the severity and identify potential causes. The nurse would
document all findings in the resident's medical record. The nurse must notify the attending physician or
on-call physician immediately if the change in condition is significant.This deficiency represents
noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number 2735210.

record review, review of hospital records, review of an emergency medical services (EMS) report, staff
interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to provide timely, adequate and necessary care, monitoring
and treatment for Resident #52 following an acute change in condition. Actual Harm occurred on 01/31/26
at approximately 1:00 P.M. when Resident #52 started receiving shocks from his implanted cardioverter
defibrillator (ICD) (a battery-powered device placed under the skin to monitor, detect, and treat
life-threatening heart arrhythmias). Resident #52 sustained numerous shocks from his ICD throughout the
day with no intervention by staff. Resident #52 was sent to the hospital on [DATE] around 1:00 A.M. and
required emergency medications to be stabilized and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for
monitoring and treatment. This affected one (Resident #52) of three residents reviewed for a change in
condition. The facility census was 65.Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #52
revealed an admission date of 09/25/25. Diagnoses included cerebral infarction (stroke), chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), and acute respiratory failure with hypoxia. Review of the Quarterly Minimum

levels in the blood) with potassium level of 3.1 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L) (abnormal is below 3.5
mEq/L). The resident's potassium was replaced, Resident #52 was given a bolus of amiodarone, and
cardiology was consulted. Resident #52 was shocked greater than 35 times per the ICD report. Resident
#52 was started on an esmolol drip (intravenous medication used primarily for rapid, short-term control of
heart rate and blood pressure) lidocaine drip (intravenously antiarrhythmic medication to treat irregular
heart rhythms), and amiodarone drip. Resident #52's ICD was upgraded to a dual-chamber ICD with
insertion of right atrium lead. Resident #52 received five days of prophylactic antibiotics and then returned

residents' medical records when a resident experiences a change in condition. The DON verified Resident

8:00 or 9:00 P.M. RN #30 stated he got a report that Resident #52 had been screaming out all day related
to being shocked. RN #30 stated Resident #52 was screaming out when he first got on shift, but when he
completed his first medication rounds at 8:30 P.M., Resident #52 had his eyes closed in bed. Around 9:30
P.M., Resident #52 started screaming out and when he went in to assess the resident, he reported he was
being shocked by his pacemaker. RN #30 stated he did not know Resident #52 had a pacemaker until the
resident mentioned it. RN #30 stated he reviewed the resident's record and verified the resident had a
pacemaker. RN #30 stated he listened to the resident's heart and noticed an irregular and elevated rhythm.
RN #30 reached out to the on-call provider and did not get an answer. RN #30 stated he was relieved by
LPN #23 on 01/31/26 at approximately 11:00 P.M. and mentioned in his report that Resident #52 had
complained of being shocked by his pacemaker. RN #30 instructed LPN #23 to send Resident #52 out to
the hospital if it occurred again. Review of the facility policy titled, Change in Condition, dated 11/06/25
revealed the facility was to ensure timely and appropriate response to changes in resident's conditions and
to facilitate effective communication with physicians. Nursing staff must be vigilant in monitoring residents
for any changes in condition including alterations in vital signs, mobility, cognition, mood, or behavior. When
the nurse was notified of change, the nurse would perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate the
severity and identify potential causes. The nurse would document all findings in the resident's medical
record. The nurse must notify the attending physician or on-call physician immediately if the change in
condition was significant.This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number
2735210.
