Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and care in
accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the
residents' choices for one (CR#1) of five residents reviewed for quality of care.
The facility failed to immediately assess and treat CR #1 and contact the doctor from [DATE]- [DATE] after
CR#1 experienced ongoing vomiting and distress. CR#1 was transported to the hospital on [DATE] at
11am.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on [DATE] at 4:31 PM. While the IJ was removed on
[DATE], the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated with the potential for more than
minimal harm, due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk for delay in needed treatment and care.
Findings included:
Record review of CR#1's face sheet dated [DATE] reflected he was an [AGE] year-old male that was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of rhabdomyolysis (a breakdown of muscle tissue that
releases a damaging protein into the blood), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) Type II Diabetes, and
hypertension (high blood pressure). He was coded to DNR.
Record review of CR #1's care plan last updated [DATE] reflected he had an ADL self-care performance
deficit accompanied with impaired balance and limited mobility. CR#1 also had the potential for
complications related to the diagnosis of hypertension. Interventions initiated [DATE] stated to
monitor/document/report any s/s of headaches, confusion, disorientation, difficulty breathing, and nauseas
and vomiting.
Record review of CR #1 doctors' orders from [DATE]- [DATE] reflected that there was no documentation
(orders) that CR #1 received medication for acid reflux, vomiting, or pain.
Record review of the shift-to-shift report on [DATE]- [DATE] documented by the night nurse LPN A reflected
that each resident had either a handwritten update regarding their condition from that shift or the words ok
next to their nane. CR #1 did not have any documentation next to his name.
Record review of the progress notes for CR #1 reflected on [DATE] and [DATE], no progress notes

she noticed pain while changing him. Vitals were BP 95/46, Heart rate was 127. Per the aid (name
undisclosed), resident was vomiting for 2 days, and roommate stated that CR #1 was up all-night moaning.
He was given Tylenol and midodrine, but resident vomited up the medicine. Dr. was called and resident was
instructed to send resident to hospital due to acidosis.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of the hospital record for CR #1 dated [DATE] at 12:03 pm reflected that CR #1 was
admitted in a wheelchair due to shortness of breath, weakness, tachycardia (a heart rate that exceeded the
normal resting rate), and he was not able to verbalize complaints. His pain intensity was measured as an 8
on a scale of 1- 10 and the chief complaint noted was respiratory. CR #1 also had a blood pressure reading
of 92/53. The final record of his expiration have not yet been received.
In an interview on [DATE] at 12:41 pm with the Roommate of CR #1, he stated that if he was the aid, he
would have sent CR#1 to the hospital that night. He expressed that during the night of [DATE], CR#1 was
getting over heated and the aids kept checking on him. He couldn't say what was wrong with him, but he
made a lot of noise throughout the night and the in-room ac unit was set to 69 degrees. CR#1 was sent to
the hospital the next day ([DATE]) but Roommate stated that he would not have kept him at the facility
under his conditions and sent him out sooner. He did not speak with he aids or the nurse regarding his
roommate.
In an interview on [DATE] at 3:11 pm, RN A stated that she was off on [DATE] and [DATE]. When she
returned on [DATE] and was told by CNA A that CR#1 was throwing up and had been throwing up for the
past 2 days. Upon rounds, CR #1 was nauseous and vomiting. RN A asked CR#1 what was wrong, and he
stated, I don't know, but I know something isn't right. Resident was sweaty and after the assessment she
contacted Dr. and informed him his heart rate was high, but BP was low. Dr. agreed to send him to the
hospital and came by the facility before he left with the EMT to assess him. LPN A, who worked the night
shift did not inform RN A of any changes in CR #1's condition.
In an interview on [DATE] at 3:29 pm, CNA A stated that she worked on [DATE] from 6am-10pm. CR #1
started to vomit around 6:30 pm and his vomit was a dark brown that resembled hot chocolate. Around
7pm, she relayed his condition to LPN A, who stated that he would check on the CR#1 but she was unsure
if he did. During her 2nd round around 9pm, CR #1 had vomited on the floor and all over his sheets. LPN A
told CNA A that he would give him something for acid reflux. CNA A returned to work with CR#1 on [DATE]
at 6am. When she changed him, she heard gurgling noises, he was not speaking, she and verbally
reported it to RN A at 8am. RN A did not come to immediately check on the CR #! and she sent RN A a text
at 9:14am saying CR #1was grunting and needed to be looked at. CNA A stated at 9:30am, RN A came to
check on the CR#1 and gave him a covid test. CNA A stated CR#1 was taken by EMT around 11am.

she saw CR #1 at 10pm, he complained of being hot and she adjusted his AC to 69 and turned the AC on
in the hallway. CNA B informed LPN A and LPN A stated that would give CR #1 something. However, CR
#1 continued to tell CNA B that something was not right, and he rang the call light so much that night that it
made it hard for her to tend to other residents. She said she did not know if LPN A contacted the doctor, but
she tried to hint that he should. She informed LPN A of CR #1's status at 10:30pm and at 2am.

In an interview on [DATE] at 3:56 pm with Dr. Z, who explained that when he saw CR #1 on [DATE], he was
fine. Resident was normally verbal, and he could express his likes, dislikes, and pain. Once RN A told him
that CR #1 was not well, he immediately went to the facility, entering before the EMT, and assessed the
resident. Upon assessment, CR #1 was not responsive, hypotensive, and septic. When he went to the
hospital, Dr. Z was also CR#1's treatment doctor at the hospital. The CP scan reflected that he had bilateral
aspiration (could have choked on saliva laying down) and cause of death was aspiration pneumonia on
[DATE]. The first time he was contacted regarding CR#1's symptoms was [DATE]. Dr. Z expressed that if he
had been informed that CR#1 was vomiting and had diarrhea on [DATE], he would not have sent him to the
hospital, but ran labs and prescribed him something for his symptoms. He stated that he was prompted to
send the resident out because of his abnormal vitals, altered mental status, and low blood pressure.
In an interview on [DATE] at 4:28 pm, the DON who stated that if a resident had a change in condition, they
were supposed to assess the patient and get with the doctor. A change in condition was described as
anything that deviated from the patient's baseline. She stated that CR#1 was a very pleasant man, and he
was able to verbalize when something was wrong with him. She was not informed that CR #1 was ill until
[DATE]. RN A told her the morning of [DATE] and when she went to check on CR#1, he was weak, nausea,
his eyes were closed, and kept trying to clear his throat. Dr. Z was contacted, and CR#1 was sent out that
morning. Through investigation, DON learned that CNA A had noticed that CR#1 had vomited, and she
cleaned him up each time. CNA A also stated that she informed LPN A. DON preformed an in-service with
CNA A and followed up with LPN A, who denied any knowledge of CR#1 being sick. CNA A was told that in
the future, she should wait until the nurse came to view the vomit before she cleaned it up and all aids were
informed to reach out to the DON if they tell a nurse about a sick resident, and they do not follow up. DON
also verbally reeducated RN A on the facilities change in condition policy and she disclosed that RN A shift
started at 6am, but she arrived at the facility late that day and did not start her rounds until 9 am. LPN A
was interviewed but he was not reeducated. DON expressed that she did not reeducate LPN A because
she had worked with him at a different facility and felt that he was a very competent nurse, and she
believed his statement because the other staff have been messy. DON stated that the harm in not
communicating when a resident changed from baseline could be hospitalization.
In an interview on [DATE] at 5:04 pm, LPN A stated that he started working at the facility during the month
of August and worked on [DATE] and [DATE] from 6pm-6am. He explained that nurses were to round as
much as possible and he remembered entering the room for CR#1 on [DATE], but he did not wake him
because he was asleep. He denied that CNA A or CNA B informed him that CR #1 was vomiting and he did
not administer any medication to him outside of what was prescribed. LPN A stated that if he knew there
was a change in condition with CR#1, he would have checked what type of medications he was already
prescribed and let the on-call doctor know. The type of assessment would have depended on the condition
of the resident, but in the case of CR#1, he would have checked vitals, examined the vomit and its
frequency, then followed up with the doctor. He could not remember if he did rounds with RN A on the
morning of [DATE].
In an interview on [DATE] at 5:25 pm, Admin stated that her first-time hearing of the incident with CR#1 was
during the morning of [DATE]. RN A told her that she was informed by the aid that CR#1 had been vomiting
for several days and Dr. Z was called in before he went to the hospital. She stated that CNA A was
educated in their stop and watch documentation system in the resident portal. Admin also stated that she
felt that if RN A had arrived to work at 6am and did rounds immediately once she arrived, she might have
been able to check on him sooner. Admin got the text later that day that CR#1 had expired.

In an interview on [DATE] at 4:40 pm, LVN A stated today was her first day. She explained Nurses should
notify the physician immediately after changes in the resident's condition. They would notify the ADON
when there was a change in condition in their breathing, change in respiratory, altered mental status. Other
examples would be if the patient had an adverse reaction to medication or antibiotics and she also said if
they had poor intake or output different from baseline, nausea, and vomiting. Once the doctor was notified,
she would check on them every 10-15 minutes. If there were any thing that could be linked to respiratory
issues, she would stay with the resident. If there was an emergency, we could use her nursing judgment to
notify the doctor. Once that resident was sent out, she would then notify the physician. She stated you could
document the resident's change in condition on the SBAR in the resident's assessment section. She would
inform the nurse coming after her with the 24-hour report, chart on progress notes, and verbally let the
nurse know with a handoff report.
In an interview on [DATE] at 4:46 pm, CNA C stated that she had worked at the facility for 2-3 years and
was PRN. She stated aids should notify the nurse immediately if there was a change in condition and they
would document it as well. She would document the change in condition in her tablet and tell the nurse
verbally. She explained that there was a certain section in the [NAME] (resident charting for CNA's) that she
would find the stop and watch alert. Staff could add specifically what was wrong with the resident if it was
not listed. They would also notify the ADON or another nurse but mainly someone in nursing.
In an interview on [DATE] at 4:50 pm, CNA D stated she had been working at the facility for one month and

and he worked the 6am-6pm shift. He described that a change of condition could be anything outside of the
normal like injuries, shortness of breath, and anything outside of their baseline, which could be something
as small as a scrape. Nurses have two ways to document which is using the daily 24-hour report. They also
have documentation in PCC so it was passed agency wide. There was a change in condition assessment in
PCC and he would also add a progress note for nursing. The doctor should be notified as soon as possible,
and he would also notify the DON. If there was an emergency, he would call 911, even if the doctor could
not be reached. If there was a change in condition, he would try to check on them every 15-20 minutes or
try to have someone stay with them. If they could not reach the doctor, then staff could call the medical
group the facility works with.
In an interview on [DATE] at 5:03 pm, MA A stated he had worked at the facility since October of 2023 and

would notify the doctor immediately after the assessment. If they contacted the doctor and they did not
answer within 2 hours, nurse could utilize their online service doctors for assistance. If a resident was
having an emergency like active bleeding, they would not wait for the doctor, but they would call 911. If
there was a change in condition, they checked on the resident based off the policy like every 15-20
minutes. Nurse would document the change in the SBAR and also do a note in the PCC. The nurse that
comes in after him would do a verbal communication with the next nurse on what happened, any new
orders, and what procedures so that they could know what was happening. They also have a shift to shift
24-hour report.
In an interview on [DATE] at 5:21 pm, CNA F stated she had worked at the facility for 6 months and worked

add custom symptoms on the stop and watch, but they still have to make sure they informed the nurses.
In an interview on [DATE] at 5:53 pm, LVN C stated that she had worked at the facility for 4 months and
worked from 8am-5pm. She described a change in condition could be different from baseline, like changes
in vitals, labored breathing, bowel changes such as not voiding, sweaty, and also change in the alert and
orientation. The doctor should be notified immediately whenever the change was noticed. They always get
vital signs and give them to the physician to see what interventions should be given. Nurses have to make
sure all orders were placed in PCC. She would also document the change in condition assessment in PCC,
which asked what were the symptoms and who was notified. They always notified the DON, ADON, PCP,
and responsible party. She stated she didnt have anyone to relieve her because she was the treatment
nurse, but she would always add a PRN order for nurses to follow up with. Nurses have access to the
wound care cart and order in PCC. She said she would get together with floor nurses to discuss skin
assessments so the nurse could add it to 24-hour report. If they were to catch something she didn't, she
would go and assess as soon as notified. If there was a change in condition, depending on the situation,
she would check on them as often as needed, especially for things like oxygen and blood sugar. LVN C
stated they were also able to use their nursing judgement and

do at the facility.
In an interview on [DATE] at 6:03 pm, LVN D stated she had been working at the facility for 2 years and
worked the 6pm-6am shift. She stated a change in condition could be anything that was abnormal with the
patient. Examples would be someone coughing, rashes, scratchy throat, anything that would not be the
resident's normal demeanor. The doctor should be contacted after the assessment. If she checked the
orders and they have a standing order, she would follow those. If the manner was persistent manner or they
didn't have orders, she would call the doctor. If the doctor was contacted and it had been a while since we
got a response, she would let the DON know so she could contact the doctor. If that does not work, then
they could call the medical director. She stated she would check on a resident at least every hour with a
change in condition. Change in conditions were documented in the form in the computer. They would also
do a progress note. She would let the next nurse know about what happened on her last shift by doing
rounds with the new nurse and giving them the 24-hours report. If they reported something to her that
happened to their shift, she would still follow up every hour.
In an interview on [DATE] at 6:17 pm, WCN stated that he had been working at the facility for 2 weeks and
worked the 6pm- 6am shift. He explained that a change in condition could be anything that was out of their
normal stasis. This could be skin tears, wounds, coughing, loss of appetite, anything that is outside of
normal. These changes would be documented in the progress notes, and we would do an incident report
and also a SBAR. The progress notes would be the main note that would stick out. The doctor would be
notified after the vitals and pain scales so the doctor could make a precise assessment for proper patient
care. He would notify the doctor, ADON, DON, and the family so they were not the last to know. If a resident
had an emergency, we could send them out via 911 because we have to use critical thinking or be
proactive, so we won't have a dead person. Nurses exchanged information by using the 24-hour report, and
they also walked room to room with the previous nurse. Nurses will both have a 24-hour report and take
notes based off the initial notes. He stated they have to know everything that was going on, even the little
things.

having diarrhea, not eating, or declining. They reported by letting the nurses know, then going into the POC
to the new alerts to add what was going on with the resident. She stated she was comfortable with using
the POC to make repots. If the nurse was not available, she would tell the ADON to let them know what was
going on.
In an interview on [DATE] at 1:57 pm, CNA H stated she had worked at the facility for 1 year and a half and
worked the 6am- 2pm shift. She stated a change could range from someone getting aggressive, wandering,

told the nurse and she also put it in the POC. If she came back the next day and something wasn't done,
she would tell the ADON or DON. In the POC, she would go to patient charting and click on new alert and
stop and watch. It allowed them to put in what was the different reason for their change. They could also
create a custom alert. She stated she was comfortable with creating customs alerts and the stop and
watch.

getting over heated and the aids kept checking on him. He couldn't say what was wrong with him, but he
made a lot of noise throughout the night and the in-room ac unit was set to 69 degrees. CR#1 was sent to
the hospital the next day ([DATE]) but Roommate stated that he would not have kept him at the facility

returned on [DATE] and was told by CNA A that CR#1 was throwing up and had been throwing up for the
past 2 days. Upon rounds, CR #1 was nauseous and vomiting. RN A asked CR#1 what was wrong, and he
stated, I don't know, but I know something isn't right. Resident was sweaty and after the assessment she
contacted Dr. and informed him his heart rate was high, but BP was low. Dr. agreed to send him to the
hospital and came by the facility before he left with the EMT to assess him. LPN A, who worked the night
shift did not inform RN A of any changes in CR #1's condition.
In an interview on [DATE] at 3:29 pm, CNA A stated that she worked on [DATE] from 6am-10pm. CR #1
started to vomit around 6:30 pm and his vomit was a dark brown that resembled hot chocolate. Around

in the hallway. CNA B informed LPN A and LPN A stated that would give CR #1 something. However, CR
#1 continued to tell CNA B that something was not right, and he rang the call light so much that night that it
made it hard for her to tend to other residents. She said she did not know if LPN A contacted the doctor, but
she tried to hint that he should. She informed LPN A of CR #1's status at 10:30pm and at 2am.
In an interview on [DATE] at 3:56 pm with Dr. Z, who explained that when he saw CR #1 on [DATE], he was
fine. Resident was normally verbal, and he could express his likes, dislikes, and pain. Once RN A told him
that CR #1 was not well, he immediately went to the facility, entering before the EMT, and assessed the
resident. Upon assessment, CR #1 was not responsive, hypotensive, and septic. When he went to the
hospital, Dr. Z was also CR#1's treatment doctor at the hospital. The CP scan reflected that he had bilateral

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or

In an interview on [DATE] at 4:28 pm, the DON who stated that if a resident had a change in condition, they
were supposed to assess the patient and get with the doctor. A change in condition was described as
anything that deviated from the patient's baseline. She stated that CR#1 was a very pleasant man, and he
was able to verbalize when something was wrong with him. She was not informed that CR #1 was ill until
[DATE]. RN A told her the morning of [DATE] and when she went to check on CR#1, he was weak, nausea,
his eyes were closed, and kept trying to clear his throat. Dr. Z was contacted, and CR#1 was sent out that
morning. Through investigation, DON learned that CNA A had noticed that CR#1 had vomited, and she
cleaned him up each time. CNA A also stated that she informed LPN A. DON preformed an in-service with
CNA A and followed up with LPN A, who denied any knowledge of CR#1 being sick. CNA A was told that in
the future, she should wait until the nurse came to view the vomit before she cleaned it up and all aids were
informed to reach out to the DON if they tell a nurse about a sick resident, and they do not follow up. DON
also verbally reeducated RN A on the facilities change in condition policy and she disclosed that RN A shift
started at 6am, but she arrived at the facility late that day and did not start her rounds until 9 am. LPN A
was interviewed but he was not reeducated. DON expressed that she did not reeducate LPN A because
she had worked with him at a different facility and felt that he was a very competent nurse, and she
believed his statement because the other staff have been messy. DON stated that the harm in not
communicating when a resident changed from baseline could be hospitalization.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on [DATE] at 5:04 pm, LPN A stated that he started working at the facility during the month
of August and worked on [DATE] and [DATE] from 6pm-6am. He explained that nurses were to round as
much as possible and he remembered entering the room for CR#1 on [DATE], but he did not wake him
because he was asleep. He denied that CNA A or CNA B informed him that CR #1 was vomiting and he did
not administer any medication to him outside of what was prescribed. LPN A stated that if he knew there
was a change in condition with CR#1, he would have checked what type of medications he was already
prescribed and let the on-call doctor know. The type of assessment would have depended on the condition
of the resident, but in the case of CR#1, he would have checked vitals, examined the vomit and its
frequency, then followed up with the doctor. He could not remember if he did rounds with RN A on the
morning of [DATE].
In an interview on [DATE] at 5:25 pm, Admin stated that her first-time hearing of the incident with CR#1 was
during the morning of [DATE]. RN A told her that she was informed by the aid that CR#1 had been vomiting
for several days and Dr. Z was called in before he went to the hospital. She stated that CNA A was
educated in their stop and watch documentation system in the resident portal. Admin also stated that she
felt that if RN A had arrived to work at 6am and did rounds immediately once she arrived, she might have
been able to check on him sooner. Admin got the text later that day that CR#1 had expired.
This was determined to be an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on [DATE] at 4:31 pm. The Admin and DON were
notified. The Admin was provided with the IJ template on [DATE] at 4:31 pm.

-What is described as a significant change or a change in condition?
-When should you notify the doctor when there is a change in condition?
-How often do you monitor them? And what do you do if you cannot reach the doctor?
-Where do you document any changes? How do you left the nurse on the next shift know what occurred on
your shift? How do you exchange information?
In an interview on [DATE] at 4:40 pm, LVN A stated today was her first day. She explained Nurses should
notify the physician immediately after changes in the resident's condition. They would notify the ADON
when there was a change in condition in their breathing, change in respiratory, altered mental status. Other
examples would be if the patient had an adverse reaction to medication or antibiotics and she also said if
they had poor intake or output different from baseline, nausea, and vomiting. Once the doctor was notified,
she would check on them every 10-15 minutes. If there were any thing that could be linked to respiratory
issues, she would stay with the resident. If there was an emergency, we could use her nursing judgment to
notify the doctor. Once that resident was sent out, she would then notify the physician. She stated you could

notified after the vitals and pain scales so the doctor could make a precise assessment for proper patient
care. He would notify the doctor, ADON, DON, and the family so they were not the last to know. If a resident
had an emergency, we could send them out via 911 because we have to use critical thinking or be
proactive, so we won't have a dead person. Nurses exchanged information by using the 24-hour report, and
