**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and staff interview the facility failed to follow code status orders for Resident #57. This
affected one of two residents whose closed records were reviewed.
Finding include:
Review of the closed record for Resident #57 revealed an admission date of [DATE]. Diagnoses included
quadriplegia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, presence of prosthetic heart valve, long term use of
anticoagulants, atrial fibrillation, endocarditis of a heart valve, non-rheumatic aortic valve disorder,
rheumatic mitral valve disease, hypertension and atherosclerotic heart disease. Review of physician orders
revealed a code status of Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care -Arrest (DNRCC-Arrest) dated [DATE].
Review of the DNRCC-Arrest comfort care form signed by the physician dated [DATE] confirmed Resident
#57's code status as DNRCC-Arrest.
Review of the care plan dated [DATE] revealed Resident #57 chose a DNRCC-Arrest status and
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) measures would not be attempted during a cardiac or respiratory
arrest.
Review of the nurse's notes dated [DATE] at 1:40 P.M. revealed CPR was started.
Review of the nurse's notes dated [DATE] at 2:40 P.M. revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA)

Resident #57 became short of breath. STNA #902 notified RN #901 who found the resident's pulse
oximetry level was 49% on two liters of oxygen via nasal cannula. Staff brought the crash cart to the room.
RN #901 started rescue breaths using the ambu bag knowing Resident #57's code status was
DNRCC-Arrest. The conclusion indicated Resident #57 was a DNRCC-Arrest and life sustaining measures
were provided until Resident #57 was absent of signs of life and was pronounced dead by the emergency
medical services.
Interview on [DATE] at 2:00 P.M. with the Director of Nursing and Unit Manger #990 revealed rescue

observations, staff interviews, review of the medical record, police report, emergency room documentation,
accuweather.com, timeanddate.com, and the facility's Wandering And Exit Seeking policy and procedure,
the facility failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent the elopement of one resident (Resident #204)
who was assessed with severe cognitive impairment and exit seeking behaviors. This resulted in Immediate
Jeopardy on 05/09/19 at approximately 5:45 A.M. when Resident #204 exited the facility without staff
knowledge. The likelihood of actual harm that was Immediate Jeopardy occurred when Resident #204 was
found on his knees in his bare feet at the bottom of a ravine with an incline of approximately 70 degrees
next to a creek. The ravine contained heavy brush, weeds, downed trees, rocks, and large tree branches.
When found, Resident #204 was cold and had cuts, bruises and abrasions to his face, arms and feet. This
affected one of nine residents reviewed for elopement risk and wandering behaviors. The facility identified
nine residents (Residents #7, #17, #25, #42, #51 #75, #78, #81 and #204) at risk for elopement. The facility
census was 111.

elopement and exhibited a desire to leave the facility, was identified as missing from the facility. Resident
#204 was subsequently found at 6:37 A.M. at the bottom of a steep ravine next to a creek on his knees in
his bare feet with cuts, bruises and abrasions. Resident #204 was transferred to the local hospital via
emergency medical services (EMS).
The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 05/09/19 at 10:30 P.M. when the facility implemented the
following corrective actions:
•
On 05/09/19 at 6:37 A.M., Resident #204 was located and transported to the local hospital at approximately
7:06 A.M. via EMS.
•
On 05/09/19 at 8:00 A.M., Secure Care devices (bracelets that signal a door alarm when exiting) were
validated for placement and function by Scheduler #613. Eight residents (Residents #7, #17, #25, #42, #51
#75, #78, and #81) were identified with a need for Secure Care bracelets and were verified to have
bracelets in place and the devices were functioning,
•
On 05/09/19 at 8:15 A.M., Maintenance Director (MD) #612 completed a door check on all doors with no
negative findings. All exit doors were armed with the Secure Care wander management system and
functioned as designed.

spill and various dried stains throughout. The coffee machine had a moderate amount of lime buildup on the
hot water spout and a smaller spout that dripped water was completely covered with lime. The two coffee
spouts appeared cleaned but the tubing above both coffee spouts were partially covered with a caked on
black substance. The stove top and the shelf above the stove top had a moderate amount of white food
particles. The shelf above the stove top was also greasy. The steamer next to the stove was greasy and
slightly discolored.
Interview on 05/06/19 between 8:04 P.M. to 9:18: P.M. with [NAME] #700 verified the above findings and
