Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
closed medical record review, hospital record review, review of an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) run
report, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to timely and adequately identify an acute
change in medical condition resulting in a delay in medical intervention/hospital care for Resident #54
resulting in the resident being found unresponsive and requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Residents Affected - Few
Actual harm occurred beginning during the night shift on [DATE] when staff failed to identify an acute
change in Resident #54's condition to ensure timely and adequate medical intervention was provided. At
6:00 A.M. Resident #54 sustained an unwitnessed fall. Resident #54 had an emesis (vomiting) and voiced
complaints of not feeling well. The resident did not consume any breakfast and continued vomiting. At
approximately 8:00 A.M., Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #521 ordered intravenous (IV) fluids to be
given to the resident; however, the IV fluids were not initiated until approximately 4:20 P.M. The resident was
assessed to be hypotensive (low blood pressure) at 8:48 A.M. (91/51), 11:57 A.M. (95/62), 1:04 P.M.
(90/58), and 4:55 P.M. (92/70). The resident did not consume lunch and continued vomiting at
approximately 4:20 P.M. On [DATE] at 5:20 P.M., Resident #54 was found unresponsive and required
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Emergency Medical Services were called at that time, and the
resident was subsequently transported to the emergency room. This affected one resident (#54) of three
residents reviewed for change in condition. The facility census was 52.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #54's closed medical record revealed an admission date [DATE] with diagnoses
including acute respiratory failure, congestive heart failure (CHF), high blood pressure, cardiomegaly, atrial
fibrillation, and history of hemorrhagic stroke. Record review revealed the resident was admitted for short
term rehabilitation (therapy services) following a stroke with a goal to discharge to home. Resident #54 was
transferred to the hospital on [DATE] and did not return to the facility.
Review of Resident #54's physician (admission) orders revealed an order dated [DATE] for advance
directives indicating the resident was a Full Code (a medical directive that instructs healthcare providers to
perform all possible life-saving measures in the event of a medical emergency, such as cardiac or
respiratory arrest), Torsemide 20 milligrams (mg) (a diuretic medication used to to treat blood pressure,
heart, and kidney conditions by increasing elimination of water, sodium, and potassium and resulting in
increased urination) twice a day, an order to obtain daily weight related to CHF, and Metoprolol 50 mg (a
beta blocker medication used to treat a variety of heart and blood pressure conditions) to be given two
times per day. There were no parameters with the orders for the medications to be held.

cleaned the resident up and informed the nurse and noted that the resident refused to eat breakfast and
lunch.
Review of the statement from LPN #240 dated [DATE] revealed Resident #54 had vomited in the morning
[indicating on [DATE]] after administering morning medications. When CNP #521 rounded, LPN #240
requested for Resident #54 to be assessed due to her not feeling well. CNP #521 evaluated Resident #54
and ordered a chest X-ray to be obtained and to initiate IV fluids of normal saline. At around 4:00 P.M.
Resident #54 vomited again and CNP #521 was notified and requested the IV normal saline to be started
and to notify her if the nurse was unable to initiate the IV placement. The IV was placed and normal saline
fluid was initiated. LPN #240 then observed Resident #54 breathing heavily and she went to Resident #54
and called her name and Resident #54 was not responding. CPR was started immediately, and EMS was
called. CPR continued until EMS arrived. Resident #54 had a pulse at the time EMS transported Resident
#54 to the hospital.
Review of the statement from Coroner #525 dated [DATE] revealed there were no concerns of Resident
#54's fall contributing to her death. The statement included the cause of death was related to Resident
#54's heart issues, and no further investigation was required.
An interview on [DATE] at 4:34 P.M. with CNP #521 revealed the dayshift nurse had notified her of Resident
#54 vomiting and not feeling well. She stated Resident #54 was the first one she saw that day, and the night
nurse had notified her of the fall earlier. She stated she ordered a urinalysis culture and sensitivity (UA CS)
due to her change in behavior. The wash basin was sitting by the resident's recliner and there was white
mucus-looking emesis in the basin. CNP #521 revealed she assessed the resident, and she denied hitting
her head, her neurological checks were normal for her, but she complained of her right shoulder hurting
from her recent fall, but the more she moved it the better it felt to her. She complained of abdominal nausea
and Zofran was ordered to help with that. IV fluids were also ordered due to her being on a large dose of
Torsemide and she didn't want the resident to become dehydrated due to the medicine and her not feeling
well, and she wanted her kidney function to be maintained as well due to her chronic kidney disease
diagnosis. CNP #521 stated she also requested the chest X-ray due to the lab results from the previous
week with her WBC's elevated, so she stated she was looking for a source of possible infection. She
revealed the orders were not because of the fall, only to address the increased WBC's. CNP #521 stated
when Resident #54 was admitted she had increased swelling and had a slight weight increase, but they
managed that with medications and she was stable and the morning she assessed the resident [indicating

while attempting to transfer from the recliner. Resident #54 did not activate the call light for staff assistance
prior to the fall. LPN #214 stated Resident #54 would always use the call light for assistance from staff, so
not activating the call light was abnormal behavior for the resident. She stated Resident #54 was at
baseline through the night of [DATE] and activated the call light several times for assistance from staff. LPN
#214 stated she notified the CNP about the fall and she ordered the UA CS to be collected to check for a
urinary tract infection since the resident's behavior was abnormal. She further confirmed the residents low
blood pressure readings on [DATE], but also

Interview on [DATE] at 4:34 P.M. with CNP #521 revealed CNP #521 evaluated Resident #54 following the
first episode of vomiting at approximately 8:00 A.M. LPN #240 had administered a Zofran 4mg tablet with
effective results noted. CNP #251 reviewed Resident #54's laboratory results obtained [DATE] with
abnormal findings including an elevated BUN and WBC. CNP #521 ordered for a chest X-ray to be obtained
and for IV fluids to be initiated of sodium chloride 0.9% parental solution 500 milliliters (ml) via IV to be
administered 100 ml per hour.
Residents Affected - Few
An interview on [DATE] at 10:02 A.M. with LPN #240 confirmed Resident #54's order for sodium chloride
0.9% parental solution 500 milliliters (ml) via IV to be administered 100 ml per hour was not initiated when
initially received from CNP #521 at 8:00 A.M. on [DATE] and was actually initiated at approximately 4:00
P.M. (approximately 8 hours later) following Resident #54's second episode of vomiting. She further stated
the urinalysis was not obtained as the resident was incontinent, but the chest X-ray was obtained.
An interview on [DATE] at 12:25 P.M. with CNP #521 revealed LPN #240 did not notify CNP #521 the order
for the IV fluids was not initiated following the first episode of vomiting as ordered by CNP #521. When LPN
#240 notified CNP #521 of Resident #54's second episode of vomiting at approximately 4:00 P.M., CNP
#521 requested the order for sodium chloride 0.9% parental solution 500 milliliters (ml) via IV to be
administered 100 ml per hour to be initiated immediately. CNP #521 stated the fluids were ordered for
kidney protection [not dehydration per the order] so it was acceptable to wait four to six hours to start the IV.
She stated she did not feel Resident #54 was having an acute change in condition, but she did feel the
resident had something going on due to her labs, but she was addressing it with the UA order and the chest
X-ray order.
An interview on [DATE] at 1:17 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the CNP would write the
order for the IV fluids and leave it on the nurses desk, but if it was a STAT order (to be completed
immediately) then she would verbally tell the nurse and they would initiate the IV immediately or as quickly
as possible. She stated her understanding was that Resident #54's IV was not a STAT situation, and that
the CNP would have been okay with not starting the IV until they did start it at 4:00 P.M., since it was for
kidney protection.
An interview on [DATE] at 1:30 P.M. with the Assistant Director of Health Services (ADHS) revealed she
would complete the IV initiations sometimes depending on the nurse on the hall. She stated that LPN #240
notified her verbally around 4:00 P.M. on [DATE] and requested Resident #54's IV to be placed after therapy
and after the second episode of emesis. She stated she placed the IV in her left hand and it was successful
on the first try and there were no issues. She stated if the order was to be placed as soon as possible then
the CNP would write a STAT order, but if it was just fluids then she would tell them that it was okay to start it
later, up to six hours after the order was received.
An interview on [DATE] at 10:32 A.M. with Coroner #525 revealed Coroner #525 initiated an investigation
into Resident #54's death due to her having been at the hospital less than 24 hours prior to death. There
was no autopsy performed due to Resident #54's death had no suspicious findings upon completion of the
investigation. The Coroner released jurisdiction on [DATE] to the facility's medical director.
