indicated that the attending physician would be
notified immediately in the event a resident had
a change of condition and if the condition
continued to deteriorate to call 911 (emergency
services) for one of three sampled residents
(Resident 1). (Crossed referenced to F684).
This deficient practice of not reporting Resident
1's continuous COC resulting in a delay in
diagnosis, care and treatment and the
resident's family member (FM 1) calling 911
(emergency services) for Resident 1 to be
transfer red to a general acute care hospital
(GACH). Resident 1 was readmitted to the
GACH within 24 hours of admission to the
skilled nursing facility (SNF) after experiencing
a change of condition (COC). In the
emergency department (ED) Resident 1
required an emergency intubation ([ET] a tube
placed in the trachea for air exchange) and was
admitted into the intensive care unit ([ICU] a
unit for residents who requires a higher level of
care [critical care]) for further care and
treatment.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's GACH Discharge
Summary prior to admission to the SNF, dated
11/15/19 indicated Resident 1 had an acute
hypoxic respiratory failure (fluid build-up in the
air sacs of the lungs), septic shock (wide
spread infection), obstructive sleep apnea
(complete or partial obstruction during sleep)
requiring continuous positive airway pressure
([CPAP] continuous positive airway pressure a

sleep apnea) and morbid obesity (excessive
body fat).

Lasix 40 mg IVP (intravenous [into the vein]
push) and give breathing treatments every 4
hours around the clock (ATC) and a STAT

A review of a nurse's progress note dated
11/16/19 at 12 noon indicated Resident 1's
family member (FM)1 came to the nursing
station stating Resident 1 had troubled or
labored breathing (abnormal respiration and an
increased effort to breathe). The note indicated
Resident 1's oxygen saturation level fluctuated
between 88-90%. FM 1 requested the resident
be transferred to the GACH. The nursing note
indicated the paramedics were called and the
oxygen was increased to 10 liters per minute.
The paramedics arrived and transferred the
resident to the GACH.
A review of Resident 1's Paramedic Run Sheet,
dated 11/16/19 at 12:05 p.m., indicated
Resident 1 was conscious (awake and alert)
and coherent (rational). The paramedics
documented Resident 1 had been complaining
of shortness of breath (SOB) since that
morning and was found with a low oxygen
saturation that did not get better with increase
of oxygen to 10 liters per minute. Resident 1's
vital signs were recorded as follows; a low
blood pressure (BP- the pressure of the blood
in the circulatory system,) of 96/54 (normal
range 120/80), an elevated pulse of 108 beats

11/16/19 at 12:44 p.m. indicated Resident 1
arrived at the ED with tachycardia (increased
heart rate) and tachypneic (fast, shallow
breathing) with impending (about to happen)
respiratory failure. Resident 1's chest x-ray
revealed an almost complete whiteout on the
left lung field which suggested due to a left lung
collapse and/or from a mucus plug (large
collection of mucus). Resident 1 required an
endotracheal intubation ([ET] a tube placed in
the trachea for air exchange) and was admitted
into the GACH's intensive care unit ([ICU] a
unit for residents who requires a higher level of

treatment. Resident 1's treatment included
mucomyst (breathing treatment), postural
drainage (position to encourage drainage by
gravity) and chest PT (physiotherapy/clapping
of the chest wall to loosen mucus from the
lungs).

Resident 1 refused to return to the prior SNF
but agreed for admission to another SNF 2. On

On 11/27/19 at 11:08 a.m., during an interview,

§ 483.25 Quality of care
Quality of care is a fundamental principle that
applies to all treatment and care provided to
facility residents. Based on the comprehensive
assessment of a resident, the facility must
ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on record review and interview, the
facility failed to ensure a resident received
medications and breathing treatment, as
prescribed by the physician for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 1). Resident 1 did
not receive the medications and respiratory
treatments as prescribed by the physician,
which resulted in a change of condition (COC).

1's continuous change of condition which

resulted in a delay in diagnosis, care and

(FM 1) calling 911 (emergency services) for
Resident 1 to be transferred to a general acute
care hospital (GACH). Resident 1 was
readmitted to the GACH within 24 hours of
admission to the skilled nursing facility (SNF)
after experiencing a COC due to not receiving
the prescribed medications, oxygen and
treatments. In the emergency department (ED)
Resident 1 required an emergency intubation
([ET] a tube placed in the trachea for air
exchange) and was admitted into the intensive
care unit ([ICU] a unit for residents who
requires a higher level of care [critical care]) for
further care and treatment.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's GACH Discharge
Summary prior to admission to the SNF, dated
11/15/19 indicated Resident 1 had an acute
hypoxic respiratory failure (fluid build-up in the
air sacs of the lungs), septic shock (wide
spread infection), obstructive sleep apnea
(complete or partial obstruction during sleep)
requiring continue positive airway pressure
([CPAP] continuous positive airway pressure a
treatment for moderate to severe obstructive
sleep apnea) and morbid obesity (excessive
body fat).
A review of Resident 1's GACH medications
and treatments indicated the following were
administered at the GACH:

in the airway to increase air flow to the lungs) 3
milliliters (ml-a unit of measure) nebulizer

medication in the form of a mist inhaled into the

A review of Resident 1's skilled nursing facility
(SNF) Admission Record indicated Resident 1
was admitted to the facility on 11/15/19 , with
diagnoses of acute hypoxic respiratory failure
(not enough oxygen in your blood), obstructive
sleep apnea ([OSA] throat muscles relax and
block airway during sleep) receiving CPAP,
septic shock (severe and potentially fatal
condition that occurs when sepsis leads to lifethreatening low blood pressure [sepsis
develops when the body has an overwhelming
response to infection]), high blood pressure
and diabetes (high blood sugar).
Resident 1's admission vital signs included a
blood pressure (BP) of 130/70 (normal
reference range [NRR] is 139/70-120/70), heart
rate 84 beats per minute [bpm] (NRR is 60-100

minute [bpm] (NRR is 12-20 bpm). Resident 1's
pulse oximeter (an electronic device that
measures the saturation of oxygen carried in
the red blood cells) measured at 95% (NRR is
95-100%) on room air with clear breath sounds
in both lungs, no cough and regular
respirations. Resident 1 was alert and oriented
to person and place with verbal coherent
communication and the ability to understand
others. Resident 1's neurological status (mental
state) was within normal limits. The medication

with increased respirations (breathing) and
congestion (stuffiness, or a runny nose is

nose [feeling of fullness in the sinuses]). The

and the resident was suctioned. The nursing
progress note indicated the NP ordered to

A review of a nurse's progress note dated
11/16/19 at 12 noon indicated Resident 1's
family member (FM)1 came to the nursing
station stating Resident 1 had troubled or
labored breathing (abnormal respiration and an
increased effort to breathe). The note indicated
Resident 1's oxygen level fluctuated between
88-90%. FM 1 requested the resident be
transferred to the GACH. The nursing note
indicated the paramedics were called and the
oxygen was increased to 10 liters per minute.
The paramedics arrived and transferred the
resident to the GACH.
A review of Resident 1's Paramedic Run Sheet,
dated 11/16/19 at 12:05 p.m., indicated
Resident 1 was conscious (awake and alert)
and coherent (rational). The paramedics
documented Resident 1 had been complaining
of shortness of breath (SOB) since that
morning and was found with a low oxygen
saturation that did not get better with increase
of oxygen to 10 liters per minute.
