Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure all residents were free from neglect for 1 of 5
residents (Resident #1) reviewed for neglect.
Residents Affected - Few
RN A did not call 911 for emergency services for Resident #1 until approximately 29 minutes after
discovering Resident #1 unresponsive on [DATE].
CPR was not initiated on Resident #1 on [DATE] until approximately 9:52 PM when Fire Department arrived
and began resuscitation attempts. Resident #1 was pronounced deceased at approximately 10:27 PM after
Justice of the Peace arrived.
The facility staff failed to provide life saving measures to Resident #1 who was identified as being full code
after he was found unresponsive in his room.
These failures resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on [DATE] at 5:50 p.m. While the
IJ was removed on [DATE], the facility remained out of compliance at no actual harm with potential for more
than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy with a scope identified as isolated due to the facility's
need to complete in-service training and evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
These failures could place residents at risk for neglect due to not receiving necessary life-saving measures,
decline in health, and death.
Findings include:
1. Record review of an undated face sheet indicated Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old male re-admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Parkinson's Disease (movement disorder of the nervous
system that worsens over time), hypertension (elevated blood pressure), and atrial fibrillation (an irregular,
often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow). The face sheet indicated Resident #1 was a
full code (in the event of cardiac arrest, CPR will be initiated).
Record review of MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 was rarely understood by others and rarely
understood others. The MDS indicated Resident #1 BIMS was not conducted due to resident being
rarely/never understood. The MDS did not indicate Resident #1 had a DNR advanced directive in place.
Record review of the care plan revised on [DATE] indicated Resident #1's code status as .[resident] is a Full
Code. He wishes to be resuscitated if he should stop breathing.

Record review of the nursing progress note dated [DATE] written by RN A indicated that RN A found
Resident #1 unresponsive at approximately 9:00 PM on [DATE]. The progress note indicated RN A
assessed Resident #1 and he was without pulse or respirations. The progress note indicated RN A called
the facility ADM, DON, and ADON but did not initiate CPR or call 911. The progress note indicated RN A

deceased .
During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 12:30 PM, RN A said on [DATE] she discovered Resident #1
lying in his bed and he did not respond to her voice. RN A said she assessed Resident #1, and he had no
palpable pulse, no respirations, pupils were fixed, dilated, and nonreactive to light, and resident's lips and
fingertips were cold to the touch. RN A said she did not start CPR because Resident #1 was already
deceased . RN A said she called the facility ADM, ADON, and DON for guidance on funeral home
notification but only the ADON responded, and she did not know the policy. RN A said she called NP for
further guidance and NP directed her to call 911 due to Resident #1 Full Code status. RN A said the 911
operator asked her to start CPR on Resident #1, but she declined to do so because he was already gone.
RN A said she was familiar with Resident #1's code status because she was responsible for updating the
resident code status book nightly at midnight. RN A said she had never received any training from the
facility regarding Emergency Procedures or CPR.

was unsure and would call her back. The ADON said she assumed RN A had initiated CPR for Resident #1
due to his Full Code status and did not ask for clarification.
During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 2:30 PM, NP said she first learned that Resident #1 was
deceased on the morning of [DATE] when she received a message left with her answering service. She
said RN A never called her on the night of [DATE] and she did not give RN A any directions or guidance.

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure basic life support, including cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR), was provided to a resident requiring such emergency care prior to the arrival of
emergency medical personnel and subject to related physician orders and the resident's advance directives
for 1 of 5 (Resident #1) residents reviewed for CPR.
The facility failed to ensure staff performed CPR on [DATE] for Resident #1 who was identified as a full

The facility failed to ensure staff utilized the AED on [DATE] when Resident #1 was found unresponsive.
The facility failed to follow their policy and procedure for Emergency Procedure - Cardiopulmonary

These failures resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on [DATE] at 5:50 p.m. While the
IJ was removed on [DATE], the facility remained out of compliance at no actual harm with potential for more

These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving necessary life-saving measures, decline in

which would be the response in an emergency situation for a full code resident requiring CPR:
1. If an individual is found unresponsive, the nurse to first arrive to the resident will briefly assess for
abnormal or absence of breathing. If sudden cardiac arrest is likely, begin CPR: The first responding nurse
will- Instruct a staff member to activate the emergency response system (code) and call 911.
The first responding nurse will- Instruct a staff member to retrieve the automatic external defibrillator.
The first responding nurse will- Verify or instruct a staff member to verify the DNR or code status of the
individual.
Initiate the basic life support (BLS) sequence of events.
2. The BLS sequence of events is referred to as C-A-B (chest compressions, airway, breathing).
3. Chest compressions: Following initial assessment, begin CPR with chest compressions. Push hard to a
depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute; Allow full chest recoil
after each compression; and Minimize interruptions in chest compressions.
