F 0678 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Provide basic life support, including CPR, prior to the arrival of emergency medical personnel , subject to physician orders and the resident’s advance directives. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of the American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines, clinical records, facility policies, and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to ensure consistent care by initiating Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to an unresponsive resident for one of 73 residents (Closed Record Resident CR1), resulting in immediate jeopardy.Findings include: The Pennsylvania Code Title 49, Professional and Vocational Standards through the Department of State indicates under Responsibilities of the Registered Nurse 21.11 General functions (a) The registered nurse assesses human responses and plans, implements, and evaluates nursing care for individuals or families for whom the nurse is responsible. In carrying out this responsibility, the nurse performs all the following functions: (4) Carries out nursing care actions which promote, maintain, and restore the well-being of individuals. Review of AHA Guidelines indicated: - if a person is unresponsive with no breathing and has no pulse for more than 10 seconds, start CPR.According to American Heart Association guidelines presumptive Signs of Death are as follows:The patient is unresponsive.The patient has no respirations.The patient has no pulse.The patient's pupils are fixed and dilated.The patient's body temperature indicates hypothermia: skin is cold relative to the patient's baseline skin temperature.The patient has generalized cyanosis (bluish skin color due to decreased amounts of oxygen). AHA guidelines for Conclusive (irreversible) Signs of Death are as follows: There is presence of lividity (venous pooling of blood in dependent body parts causing purple discoloration of the skin, due to the cessation of circulation). While these signs of irreversible death would not be expected to be seen in most practice settings, the American Heart Association also includes the following irreversible signs of death: decapitation (separation of the head from the body). decomposition (decay or putrefaction of the body); and rigor mortis (stiffness of the limbs and body that develops 2 - 4 hours after death and may take up to 12 hours to fully develop). Review of facility policy Emergency Procedure - Cardiopulmonary Reusuitation, dated [DATE], indicated personnel have completed training on the initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and basic life support (BLS), including defibrillation, for victims of sudden cardiac arrest. General guidelines:Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a loss of heart function due to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Cardiac arrest occurs soon after symptoms appear. It is a leading cause of death among adults.A heart attack refers to impaired blood flow to the heart which leads to damage of the heart muscle. A heart attack can cause sudden cardiac arrest. Typically heart attacks are less sudden than SCA.Victims of cardiac arrest may initially have gasping respirations or may appear to be having a seizure. Training in BLS includes recognizing presentations of SCA. The chances of surviving SCA nay be increased if CPR is initiated immediately upon collapse. Early delivery of shock with defibrillator plus CPR within 3-5 minutes of collapse can further increase chances of survival. In an individual (resident, visitor, or staff member) is found unresponsive and not breathing normally, a licensed staff member who is certified in CPR/BLS shall initiate CPR unless:It is known that a do not resuscitate (DNR) order that specifically prohibits CPR and/or external defibrillation exists for that individual; orThere are obvious signs of irreversible death (e.g. rigor mortis)If the resident's DNR status is unclear, CPR will be initiated until it is determined that there is a DNR or a physician's order not to administer CPR. Review of Resident CR1's clinical record indicated an admission date of [DATE]. Review of Resident CR1's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a periodic assessment of care needs) dated [DATE], indicated diagnoses of chronic kidney disease (long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their function over time), adult failure to thrive (condition where an older adult loses appetite, weight, and 395251 Page 2 of 6 395251 01/09/2026 Ivy Park Post Acute 5609 Fifth Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15232

Review of Resident CR1's physician order dated [DATE], current through [DATE], indicated the resident was a full code (allows for all interventions needed to restore breathing or heart functioning). Resident CR1 ceased to breathe on [DATE], at 7:56 a.m. Review of Resident CR1's clinical record form Advance Directives dated [DATE], indicated resident had no advance directives, no living will, and no Power of Attorney. Review further noted that additional information was requested and on [DATE], PA Advance Directive Packet was provided by Social Service Employee E2 to Resident CR1. Review of Resident CR1's care plan initiated [DATE], current through [DATE], failed to identify goals, plans, and/or interventions related to resident's full code status. Review of Resident CR1's clinical progress note dated [DATE], at 7:50 a.m., entered by Licensed Practice Nurse (LPN) Employee E3, indicated that at 7:45 a.m., resident (CR1) was lying in bed on her right side. (CR1) did not respond to name being called. Eyes were open. Skin was pale and cool. Call bell was within reach. Registered Nurse (RN) Supervisor notified. Medical Doctor (MD) notified for change in condition. Further review of Resident CR1's clinical progress note dated [DATE], late entry at 10:13 a.m., entered by RN Employee E4, indicated this nurse (E4) was notified that resident (CR1) CTB (cease-to-breath) this morning at 7:56 a.m., MD was notified.

Review of facility provided employee statement by LPN Employee E3, on [DATE], stated that this nurse (E3) rounded on patient (CR1) at 7:45 a.m. Patient (CR1) was lying in bed on her right side. Patient (CR1) did not respond to name being called. Eyes were open. Skin was pale and cool. CPR was not started due to irreversible death. RN supervisor notified. Physician notified of change in condition. Review of facility provided employee statement by RN Employee E4, on [DATE], stated (E4) was informed by oncoming nurse of resident's (CR1) change in condition. The MD was contacted and we were waiting for a return phone call to verify next steps. (RN E4) checked on resident when (E4) was notified of change, (CR1) was resting in bed at that time. (LPN E3) alerted (E4) about an hour later that (CR1) was checked on again and had no pulse. At that time, (LPN E4) stated (CR1)'s eyes were open, (CR1) was pale and cool. Upon assessment, aside from the obvious signs of death (no pulse, apical HR (heart rate), and respirations) it was determined that due to (LPN E4)'s assessment as well as mottling (common sign that occurs as a person approaches death, characterized by a marbled or blotchy appearance of the skin, typically indicating reduced blood circulation) in extremities, that the resident (CR1) had signs of irreversible death and CPR wound not have helped.

During an interview on [DATE], at 11:28 a.m., LPN Employee E6 stated that if a resident is found without respirations or a pulse, that a code would be called, alerting RN supervisor to room, then check code status and initiate CPR for full code status. During an interview on [DATE], at 11:35 a.m., LPN Employee E7 stated that if a resident is found pulseless, a code would be called, crash cart grabbed, and code status confirmed prior to initiating CPR. During an interview on [DATE], at 11:40 a.m., LPN Employee E8 stated once a resident is confirmed pulseless, check code status, and initiate CPR. During an interview on [DATE], at 11:45 a.m., RN Employee E9 stated that code status is checked when a resident if found pulseless, and CPR is initiated if full code.
