**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that a resident received CPR in accordance with
professional standards of practice for one (Resident #1) of six resident's reviewed for CPR. On [DATE] at
12:20 am, LVN A failed to initiate CPR on Resident #1 who was a full code status. Resident #1 expired on
[DATE]. An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on [DATE] at 5:00 pm. The noncompliance began on [DATE]
and ended on [DATE]. It was determined to be past non-compliance due to the facility having implemented
action that corrected the non-compliance prior to the beginning of the investigation. This failure could affect
residents who are full code status and could need CPR by placing them at risk of death. Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's admission Record, dated [DATE] revealed an [AGE] year-old female, with
an original admission date of [DATE] and the latest readmission date of [DATE]. The resident expired on
[DATE]. The resident had a primary diagnoses of unspecified dementia (the specific type of dementia
cannot be clearly identified, despite the presence of cognitive decline and memory loss) and congestive
heart failure (hearts ability to pump blood is compromised). The resident was under the care of hospice.
Resident #1 was a full code. Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 14 indicating she was cognitively intact.
Record review of Resident #1's Physician's Orders, dated [DATE], revealed an active order with a start date
of [DATE] for full code. Record review of Resident #1's Care Plan, last revised on [DATE] revealed the
following: Focus: Full Code/CPR in place. Goal: Resident has an order for CPR to be initiated will be
followed. Interventions: Initiate CPR if the resident is without a heartbeat or not breathing. Notify EMS.
Record review of Resident #1's progress noted, dated [DATE] at 3:40 am, by LVN A, revealed the following
[in part]: [12:05 am] aide at this time has reported that patient is noted breathing abnormally. [12:07 am]
This nurse went to assess pt and pt was noted semi-Fowlers (30 to 45 degree angle with the head
elevated) in bed with head cocked to left side, pt appears to be taking deep breaths for air constantly at this
time with eyes fixed as if she is imminent to passing. palpated for pulse and pulse is faint. skin is still warm
to touch. [12:10 am to 12:15 am] Went to verify advance directive and was not found in hospice binder but
did verify in PCC full code only. [12:20 am] returned to pt bedside and pt was noted unresponsive. aide
prepared body immediately. A record review of Resident #1's vitals revealed there were no vitals
documented in the Electronic Health Record on [DATE]. In an interview on [DATE] at 11:00 am, the DON
said she did not know why LVN A did not initiate CPR on Resident #1. She said LVN A told her she was
distracted by a phone call from her family member. In an interview on [DATE] at 1:40 pm, LVN A she said at
the time of the incident on [DATE] at approximately 12:00 am, she had a lot going on, and said I had an
emergency with my kids who were home alone and was distracted. In my head, all hospice patients have
DNR's. My aide came and told me [Resident #1] took a turn, I went and saw her, and she was already
basically gone. I went and looked at the hospice binder and did not see an advance directive. I looked in

computer. I stayed with [Resident #1], she got worse, she stopped breathing and had a blank staring off
look. I went and got [LVN A] again. She came and took her vitals, told me she stopped breathing and
passed, and told me to perform post-mortem care. [LVN A] did not initiate CPR. In an interview on [DATE] at

staff to follow the physician's orders. He said in this instance, failing to follow physician's orders had the
potential that the resident's life could have been saved. In an interview on [DATE] at 3:19 pm, Resident #1's
Family Member, he said LVN A called him sometime after midnight on [DATE] telling him that Resident #1
stopped breathing and did not have a DNR in place. He thought LVN A had told him CPR had been
attempted but was too distraught to know for sure. In interview and record review on [DATE] at 10:30 am,
